Bingo! That's why legislators usually aren't elected president.

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
We can change the wording if you like, from 'executive' to 'federal'. In that case Obama wins hand down.Originally posted by Patroklos
So you are saying she is not the only one with executive experience then? Do you understand the difference between executive and legislative experience?

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

That's retarded. You're basically claiming that no one in Congress has ever accomplished anything.Comment

Wrong. They're not usually elected because they have voting records muckrakers can use against them.Originally posted by DanS

It's true that legislators with no accomplishments -- such as Obama and Biden -- have a leg up. McCain's signature accomplishment (McCain-Feingold) has hurt him a lot in my eyes.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

Sponsorships and Cosponsorships don't indicate whether a legislator has actually written a bill or just attached his/her name to it.Originally posted by Oerdin
That's retarded. If sponsorship & cosponsorship of Congressional bills doesn't count then you're basically claiming that no one in Congress has ever accomplished anything.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Bristol Palin's Baby Daddy Revealed!
Bristol Palin's baby daddy has been revealed to be 18 year-old Levi Johnston. Sarah Palin announced that her 17 year-old daughter is five months pregnant Monday.
The New York Post has excerpts from Johnston's MySpace page:
On his MySpace page, Johnston boasts, "I'm a f - - -in' redneck" who likes to snowboard and ride dirt bikes.
"But I live to play hockey. I like to go camping and hang out with the boys, do some fishing, shoot some s- - - and just f - - -in' chillin' I guess."
"Ya f - - - with me I'll kick [your] ***," he added.
He also claims to be "in a relationship," but states, "I don't want kids."Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

So again, of the candidates which one has executive experience?The question was "experience", not "prez history".
Being a Senator is an important job but is is missing the #1 attribute that differentiates it from the Presidency, accountability, and that goes for McCain too (but lucky he had plenty of that as an O6)."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights.
