Certainly Bush's level of foreign policy experience didn't stop him from making great decisions once he got into office, right conservatives?

A little background - Obama is on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. And he knows the people who live in Greece are not called Grecians.

If you may,Bush made not great decision but inept and absurd ones. Furthermore, neither one has foreign policy experience to compare them, now Condi Rize might has more experience then both of them together.However, her experience has been a zero in the white house.

Well actually Bush was the Governor of a border state and had a good deal of relations with Mexico. I don't know what Obama has done except move words around a room.

Obama has never governed, besides foriegn policy is just one of many management skills needed to be presidential. Foreign policy is like cough medicine, too much and you're no longer able to function. We learned that from the Clinton administration. That man would avoid confrontation to the point that he ran out of cheeks to turn. The result of slick willie's foreign policy was the US was attacked on six different occasions and never defended or responded to in kind, not even once!
This country can nearly afford to return to those cowardly days of the Clinton administration. We cannot afford to be wrong, not even once, the consequences could be devastating. To put in another silver tongue who believes he can reason with anyone, could be a fatal mistake. Personnaly, I would prefer to attack our enemy when it appears necessary and ask questions later. Too often we have waited in the face of potential danger, only to suffer the devastation of 9/11. That's not my idea of good management!

FYI-There are photos out there showing little Bushie next to "Uncle" Rummie alongside his Dad, the Head of the CIA back in the early 70's. Now consider the FACT that the Bush Family is involved in BUSHCO, an international Oil Firm and that his Brother's have family ties to Mexico's Elite, and Daddy was first a Vice President and then the President!
Let's overlook his succesfull stint as the Governor of the little State of Texas!
Yeah, GWB just fell off a Turnip Truck alright!
LMFAO!!!!!

Let's face facts, most newly elected Presidents don't have any or very little foreign policy experience. Mostly governors are elected to the Presidency. In my opinion this is a non-issue, that's why Presidents have cabinet members.

They might be about the same, but Obama knows what he does not know and will seek to learn it. Bush thought he already knew all the answers and didn't "need" anyone elses advise.
Bill Clinton had limited foreign policy experience, but he is very smart and had a hunger to learn so his foreign policy was very successful.

As a governor, Bush already had some experience with foreign policy, especially since Texas is a frontier state. The lack of intellect displayed by some is astounding.

President Bush had experience as a Governor. Barrack has little experience as a legislator. That will not even get him to the primaries. Liberals need to stop backing losers.
