That's experience for you.

Obama has that same youthful enthusiasm. He could make a great president. But, will our enemies give him enough time to learn on the job? Like it or not, we can not afford to lose this war. The consequences will be everlasting. It has been the threat of another 9/11. But a greater threat will happen if Iran has the bomb.

Who do you want operating on your brain, the results of which can not be reversed? Do you want a surgeon soloing for first time or an experienced surgeon? Think about it. The president will not be dealing with kind hearted, reasonable friends that you can simply strike up a conversation at any time. Our enemies know well what they want. Peace at any cost must not be our naive approach. Who do you think our enemies hope wins the elections in 2008?
I apprciate you remarks, but my father had a Heart Attack 11 years ago, they brought in a surgeon who has been a Cardilogist for 25 plus years very highly regarded ect, ect, and he meesed up the surgey on my father, so to me, you can have all the experience in the world, it may not mean a thing
having experience and doing the right things may not be the same, George Bush was Governemor of Texas for many, many years, okk what he has done to our Country in 7 years, dystroyed the Ecomomy, has greated a National DEbt that will take Genenrarions upno Generations to pay off if ever, did nothing for the Katrin Victims, lok at New orleams now, I will not go on and on, but thereality is As a Governor he had many years of "Running" a State Governemnt, look what he has doneto the Federal Governemnt in 7 1/2 years, Gas Price, Our Ecomony, 2 WArs with no end in sight, Billions spent on those alone and we have debts as i said that our grandchildrens children will be paying off

I might add President Bill Clinton left office in 2001 with a federal budget surplus of $127 billion. President George Bush ran a deficit of $319 billion in 2005. So who deserves more credit for fighting red ink?
Our Debt is now over 1 Trilion Dollars, quite a difference in 7 years from a $127 billion dollar surplus
and Bush wasnts a $3.2 Trillion Dolar Budget for 2009, never berofre in histiry have be had a budget over 1 Trillion Dollars
as I said experience does not mean everything
