Throughout American history, there have been many good presidents to lead our nation through tough times. The great presidents have always known what to do because of there past experiences; presidents like George Washington who was a very successful general during both the French and Indian war and the Revolutionary war. He had both great judgment and many years of experience. Another great president is Teddy Roosevelt who the Governor of New York for many years and was also the Secretary of the Navy. That is what I called experience.
Now these are just examples some examples of great presidents but there are many more. When anyone comes out of no where and says they want to lead this nation because they think they can change things, even though they have no experience that just tics me off. Now even if you consider one term in the senate to be enough experience (which I disagree with) fine; but the democratic nominee Barack Obama has not finished his first term and has spent a good chunk of it campaigning for presidency. Even though he might be a good president later on (maybe), he is not qualified to be president now. Let me ask, what has he done during his term as senater? Not much, he mayby helped pass a few laws but I mean come on. McCain has surved in vietnam, was part of the Reagan Revolution, and surved for 26 years total in congress. How much could Obama learn in his short career in washington? I fermly belive not enough to make an effective change in America today.
One point that has been bugging me lately and I want to bring up is how some people say "Republicans object to Obama being inexperienced but Palin is just as inexperined as he is." There are two major things wrong with this statement. First of all she is the running mate, she should not be held to the same standard as the presidential nominees (but still a high standard). Besides I was thinking the other day how I could see Joe Biden being the nominee and Obama being the running mate, but now I'm getting off topic. The second thing wrong is that she has been a governer about the same time as Obama has been in the Senate which means equal experience, and she has executive experience which carries a lot of weight in this election. While I'm on this topic I would like to say that the Democratic ticket is fully legislative while the Republican is mixed which I personally think is the best way to go. Also I think when people say that Palin was the governer of Alska so it was not important I say B.S. every state in the Union is just as important as the next.
This was just a short explanation on one major reason why I belive Obama is unfit to lead this nation.

Well Chris, this whole lack of experience issue is becoming a huge issue. I think that being a community organiser is where it starts. Bush had years of experience but look where we are NOW. I just think it's time for someone new to move in and clean up the mess that the old experienced ones we've been dealing with. The real experience comes when you actually get into office.
Well-said Chris. I think that is McCain's strongest argument against Obama. I also like how you cited other examples of more experienced Presidents to prove your point.
You hit on some the irony that defines this election. In 2000, the argument for Bush was that despite his inexperience with foreign affairs, he would make a good President because VP Cheney was experience. Now, Democrats are making that some argument with Obama/Biden. I just find that amusing.
Clever post...keep them coming :)
Hi Chris that is an amzing blog which I agree with 100%. Obama isn't experienced enough to lead the country. All I see in him are that he is an great speaker and is full of empty promises of "change". Keep up the conservitive blogs I look forward to reading them.
Hi Chris I agree with you 100%. You can't expect someone with 1 term of being a Senator to lead this contry. He has not even done anything big while in the Senate. As Joe Liberman said he has not crossed party lines to get a major bill to pass. All Obama is a good speaker and empty promises.
