Prominent Democrat States What We Already Knew

During the last campaign the left made a stink about Sarah Palin’s experience and the fact that she would be a heartbeat away from the presidency. The left made these claims despite the fact that she had more executive experience than Barack Obama and Joe Biden. The left ignored Obama’s lack of executive experience in spite of the fact that he would actually be the heartbeat.
Now a prominent Democrat, and a black one at that, is stating what thinking people knew all along:
Doug Wilder, who in 1990s Virginia was America’s first elected black governor and was an early backer of Obama. “One problem is they do not have sufficient experience at governing at the executive branch level. The deeper problem is that they are not listening to the people.” Times UK
Wilder is making the statement about Obama’s Chicago Mafia but it is important to note that Obama has no more experience than they do.
When Wilder discussed not having experience governing at the executive level, whether he meant to or not, he was discussing Obama as well.
Most Army privates serving in Iraq or Afghanistan have more leadership experience than Obama and his Mafia…

I don’t get why you beat this dead horse on executive experience. Clinton was Governor of Arkansas and Carter Governor of Georgia and served in the Navy. Of course you still think they were terrible presidents. You’d find just another thing to attack Obama for if he’d been in the military or had been a Governor.
It’s not the experience that matters to you. It’s the D next to their name that renders them unqualified in your opinion.
What about Ron Paul? I’ve never heard you question his lack of executive experience in your support for him.
I have support for Ron Paul’s monetary ideas and Constitutional requirements, not for him to be president.
And I compared Palin and Obama, not Clinton an Carter.
Carter and Clinton had the experience. Carter was terrible and Clinton manageable.
If only Palin hadn’t quit her job to get rich instead of serve the people of Alaska. Her executive experience might have actually meant something in the next election if she hadn’t. Quitting that gig will doom her in the end I believe.
She had not quit during the last election.
She resigned to keep from having the bogus lawsuits (filed by Dem operatives) bankrupt her.
“She resigned to keep from having the bogus lawsuits (filed by Dem operatives) bankrupt her.”
That’s what she said anyway. Almost nobody believes that though even if it might be true.
I would not say almost no one but there is an element who would say she lied if she claimed to be a woman. Hell, they said she lied about Trig being her child.
