Huh?

Barack Obama contends that he is more experienced in executive matters than Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin because he has managed his presidential campaign for the past 18 months.

You know, Obama has said a lot of stupid things (i.e. ‘there are 57 states,’ ‘let’s not kill Bin Laden,’ ‘Ted Kennedy is a great man,’ ‘my wife is NOT a demon,’ etc), but I believe this latest bout of insanity just might take the cake.

You are qualified to be PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA because you ran your CAMPAIGN!?!?! How in any way, shape or form does that equate?

Now, obviously his whole point was to belittle Sarah Palin’s experience, but does anyone in their right mind think that running a political campaign is the same as running an entire state in the country? A political campaign involves money, speeches, ads, backdoor deals, mudslingers, press releases, smear merchants and a variety of other things, all focused on the singular goal of getting that candidate elected. It’s a one-track mindset, and it has nothing, absolutely nothing, in common with running a state. To even think that it does (much less to come out all blustery and full of yourself and assert publicly that it does) is simply beyond arrogant.

“For Barack Obama to argue that he’s experienced enough to be president because he’s running for president is desperate circular logic and its laughable. It is a testament to Barack Obama’s inexperience and failing qualifications that he would stoop to passing off his candidacy as comparable to Governor Sarah Palin’s executive experience managing a budget of over $10 billion and more than 24,000 employees,” said spokesman Tucker Bounds.

Circular logic is probably the best term to be applied to Obama…and not just in this situation.

His arrogance knows no bounds, apparently. He sounds like a little kid who is proud that he learned to tie his shoes and that makes him qualified to be the CEO of Nike.
