Barack Obama, his campaign, and his surrogates try to convince the American people that Gov. Sarah Palin is not qualified to be "a heartbeat away from the Presidency". Yet what they don't want the American people to realize is that he is no more qualified to be the actual President. Barack Obama spent 8 years in the the Illinois State Senate and has been a U.S. Senator since 2005. That might sound like decent experience, but considering that Obama has been campaigning for President since February of 2007, he essentially has only been a Senator for 2 years. On the other hand, Sarah Palin was a two term city councilmember in Wasilla, the fifth largest city in Alaska, a two term Mayor of the same city, and Governor of the state since 2006. Serving in legislative and executive capacities in these rolls. She would be presented with much more experience in running a government in these rolls than Obama would have garnered as a legislator.
What has Barack Obama done in the last nineteen months (since his campaign began) that would suddenly make him qualified to be the President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of its armed forces. I submit that he has done nothing but campaign for that privilege. Over the past year several prominent Democrats have questioned Obama's readiness, including his own choice for Vice President. Click the link below to see a YouTube clip containing interviews with Joseph Biden, Hillary Clintion, John Edwards and for President Bill Clinton all questioning Barack Obama's credentials. It is stunning to think that the American people, if they saw these clips, would support the most unqualified person to ever run for President under any major political party.
