Hillary Clinton vs Barak Obama (Experience vs change)?

Question

Why do we constantly talk about Obama's lack of experience?

He has NO LESS experience than Lincoln or Kennedy when they ran for office.

Although Hillary has served in the Senate longer than Barak, can we really count her years in the white house as First Lady as RELEVENT EXPERIENCE to be our EXECUTIVE LEADER (PRESIDENT)??????

P.S. Remember this same issue of experience vs change came into focus when Bill ran against George Sr. in 1992. However, Bill's shorter resume did not stop him from being president.

Below is Senator Barak Obama's resume you judge if his experience is good enough:

here is obama's resume


He has a B.A in international relations from Columbia univerity

worked 3 years as a community organizer

has a law degree from Harvard university (and was president of the Harvard law review)

worked as a civil rights attorney

worked as a constitutional law professor

8 years as a ill. state senator

and 3 years as a u.s. senator

Answer 1

Shillary's experience is in covering up scandals and maybe even murders.

Obama or Edwards is better.

Answer 2

How is electing Hillary voting for a "change"? Didn't this country take a turn for the worst after Bill's president and it will be more of the same under Hillary's admin?

Answer 3

I agree, we keep talking about Obama's lack of experience but while he was serving as a state senator, Hillary Clinton was serving as...First Lady.

If I want to throw a dinner party for foreign dignitaries or know how to dress for a state visit, then I'll ask Hillary Clinton.

Answer 4

Well, personally, I haven't seen much good come out of politicians with "change" as their "running slogan." I wouldn't support either Obama or Clinton, but I think that experience is more credible that change, although a desire for change is important for a presidential candidate.

Answer 5

It's not about years. Some of his debate answers made him look naive, to some of us. "Change" has always seemed to me a rather muddle-headed concept anyway. Bush was certainly a big change over B. Clinton, but incompetence combined with dictatorial ambitions is hardly a change for the better.

Answer 6

in a nutshell..........
Hillary Clinton, Member of Councel on foreign relations...
Obama, Member of Councel on foreign relations....
Both have political experience...BUT....
as long as you are a member of the CFR, that means you support NAFTA, WTO, CAFTA, A North American Union and The Amero Currency.....it's just a sad fact, but true.
and the other problem is, all top tier Republicans are members too, with the exception on Ron Paul.....he must be honest if both parties don't like him.

Answer 7

OK lets list Hillary's change, her experience is already been established.
She Would:

Reform Immigration
Restore our Standing in the World
End the War
Promote Energy Independence
Provide Health Care
Work on Energy Independence
Lead the World in Global Warming
Reform Government

With Hillary Clinton you can have Experience and Change.

Answer 8

look at what she says she will do . if she can't do it in the law making branch of the government how is she going to do it from the outside in the executive branch. good judgement comes from experence and experence comes from bad judgement. i would have come closer to voting for her if she had trashed bill and stood up for herself and run on her own merit rather that bill's coattail

Answer 9

I hope the secret service can protect Obama from Hillary and Bill.
I don't like either one of them. I think Obama sounds like a phoney. When Oprah started working his campaign, that really troubled me. She has too much influence to be supporting a candidate. It is now her ego being stroked.
Very scary. A president elected because of Oprah?

Answer 10

Both lack experience and desire for change.. what's the difference?
