And when was the last time we elected a President with experience, and with a cabinet full of years of top military and foreign affairs (and war time) experience? Oh yeah, George Bush.

The point is that inexperience doesn't necessarily mean the person in question is unqualified for the job, or even that all the experience in the world means that the person is qualified.
Exactly, Katz. Experience can have different meaning according to one's agenda, Gary. But I'll go with mine- who has the experience to be President? Niether Obama or Clinton. Why? Because neither has served as President.It's that plain and simple to me. As is Hillary's need to stop kicking this dead dog. It's not barking; as evidenced tonight and the last 8 primaries. She needs a new script to follow.
