Independent website: Palin has more executive experience than Obama and Biden combined
Independent fact-checking website Politifact.com concludes Rudy Giuliani's recent claim that Sarah Palin has more executive experience than Barack Obama and Joe Biden is true.
Even taking for granted Obama's claim that campaigning qualifies as executive experience, Palin ends up having a more prolific executive career.
The number of years of executive experience for Palin is 8, whereas the number for the Demcocrats stands at zero.
I would add that Obama and Biden have more legislative experience, but the Vice President and President are executive branch jobs, although the VP in an extraordinary situation would cast a tie-breaking vote in congress.
So yeah, guys, Wasilla has 5,500 people. But the city Obama or Biden led doesn't even exist.
Same goes for Alaska's hundreds of thousands as opposed to the states where these Democrats have served as governors.

She doesn't lack experience. She lacks KNOWLEDGE about EVERYTHING, except that which concerns an isolated part of the world!

By that measure she has way more than McCain, too. He can't even keep track of how many houses he and his wife own.
And as Mayor, Palin had to hire an administrator to take care of the actual administrating. And she ran the town into a budget deficit.

I'll grant her the snow removal experience but since that isn't a national program I don't think we need to grant her much additional knowledge from that "experience".

All of that executive experience didn't teach her what it is that the vice-president does, as she, herself, indicated just int he last couple of months.
So, BFD.

Look she has no foreign policy record whatsoever. Her 'executive' experience as a Junior Governor is weak.
There absolutely no way I would trust that woman with our national security or our economy.
I don't even need bring her views on religion, birth control, sex education, and abortion into it.

In the next minute or so, this post will be pushed off the end of the current list.
For once, thank you, Server Error!
Goodbye, Andrew.
