Friends in High Places

Senator and President Clinton have been pushing on the experience factor lately. President Clinton, made a hit on Senator Obamas lack of experience. Edwards doesn???t have a huge resume of experience in the federal government either. Lets be real about Senator Clinton too. She is a one term Senator who held no other elected office. what experience is she touting? her time as First Lady should not factor into this equation- it wasnt elected and doesnt give her experience other than by some sort of White House osmosis. So the question remains ??? is experience an issue?
Senator Obamas home state of Illinois is particularly good at electing inexperienced nobodies as president???perhaps youve heard of Abraham Lincoln?
Lets think about this for a minute??? does anyone really have experience being president, before actually BEING a president?

Senators Obamas and Edwards have more foreign policy experience than that of, Governors turned Presidents???and out of the last five presidents, Bush, Clinton, Reagan, and Carter were all governors.

The last senator to make the jump to the White House had only one term under his belt before winning the Democratic primary. In the general election, he was called unelectable because of one of his inherent characteristics; the country wasnt ready for such a man to be president, his detractors said. Yet in spite of this, John F. Kennedy went on to become one of the most beloved presidents in recent history.

Senators who have experience often seem out of touch with real people. The bubble of the Senate makes the world a very different place- especially when it comes to connection and speaking. Senators tend to bloviate- debate is the essence of the Senate. Senators also have a sense of entitlement that seems to come from being in our version of The House of Lords. I once heard that there are 100 people who want to be President that you can locate quickly- the members of the US Senate.

Is experience something to consider: lets take a look back at some of the past presidents:
James Buchanan: 29 years
Gerald Ford: 25 years
George H.W. Bush: 17 years
Richard Nixon: 14 years
Bill Clinton: 12 years
Ronald Reagan: 8 years
George W. Bush: 7 years
Abraham Lincoln: 2 years
George Washington: 0 years
Dwight Eisenhower: 0 years
James Buchanan, who had 29 years of service as a representative, senator, ambassador and Secretary of State, is arguably the worst president in the US history. While Abraham Lincoln with only 2 years experience in the federal government is considered a national icon and, with George Washington, one of the most venerated leaders in our nations history. Going by this list, it is difficult to say that more experience is better.

Havent we learned in the past 7 years that you really don???t need experience to become president? I dont think Bush is a disastrous president because he has little experience compared to other previous presidents??? hes just awfully stupid.

I challenge any of the mainstream media to investigate this and see if this is true. We need to know for sure. (Colonel Ray)
Obama's link to Saddam Hussein exposed by London Times today, no wonder he was against the war! Today the Times of London discovered: "Mr Obama???s long-serving bagman Antoin ???Tony??? Rezko, a Syrian immigrant to the United States, has been linked to Nadhmi Auchi, the Iraqi-born billionaire who is one of Britain???s richest men. The relationship is a potential embarrassment for Mr Obama, who has made his opposition to the Iraq war a central plank of his campaign. Court papers describe Mr Rezko as a close friend of Mr Auchi. The Times has, however, discovered state documents in Illinois recording that Fintrade Services, a Panamanian company, lent money to Mr Obama???s fundraiser in May 2005. Fintrade???s directors include Ibtisam Auchi, the name of Mr Auchi???s wife."For you who do not know, Nadhmi Auchi is an Iraqi with deep ties to Saddam Hussein and made billions off him! Was also co-chair of the of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University between 1996 and 2000 and is a wanted fugitive in France! The trail of the newly crowned Prince of Camelot is beginning to really become more open! No wonder Obama was against the war in Iraq and people complain about the Clinton's being involved in bad things, this is beyond bad!! See what not knowing a stump speecher without substance hides? Hope this is further investigated by American reporters!

So what's your take on the Move On endorsement of Obama?

So what's your take on the Move On endorsement of Obama?

If John supports Hillary, he will RUIN his reputation. He spent weeks and many debates complaining about her lobbyist ties and connections to corporations, the heatlh industry, insurance companies, etc.. For him to REVERSE course and support her for President says - she's PROMISED him a position in the White HOuse. Thats the ONLY reason he would do such a thing. If he does, he loses a LOT of supporters that regard him as a man of integrity.

If Edwards wants to endorse and possibly effect the outcome of Super Tuesday, he should do it on Saturday night or very early Sunday - and if he wants actual CHANGE in Washington, his best chance is to NOT endorse a woman that comes from a full 28 years of HISTORY in Washinton.

Do you really think that Edwards' endorsement would do Obama any good, besides he has enough
endorsements and has raised enough money, obviously his campaign can't handle money, since
it looks like they have spent mostly all of the Wall Street donated dough of well over 100 million dollars shameful. He just raised more money, have people lost their minds, giving all of their money to this idiot.

John Edwards is a good person, so he probably will endorse someone even though they don't deserve his
endorsement or his supporters. I for one will not be voting in the primary exceptme for John Edwards, unless his name doesn't appear on the ballot, if it doesn't , I will not vote. These two people along with the
media and many immature bloggers treated this man very unfairly, he didn't deserve this, he obviously doesn't have a mean bone in his body.

I am truly sorry he suspended his campaign, he would have made a great President, I liken his stepping
aside to the lost of RFK, we never really got to see what kind of President he would have been, a good one
I bet. But Ted kennedy has truly been disappointing, with that immigration reform bill, which I hope never sees the light of day again. People need obey the laws we already have, and the authority need to enforse the laws. Put the soldiers that in Iraq along the border, I think that would discourage these people from coming here illegally. Employers need pay a heavy fine for hiring illegals, or the people hiring them ought
to go to prison.
Obama is the biggest farce this country has ever seen, he is not even true to himself, the hidden man,
I wouldn't trust him at all. The people voting for him, better start r reading more about him. So far he has
said nothing, including this last debate.

As for McCain, who kC

Who knows? There is no statistical way to actually determine how many votes are gained by endorsement. At best, Mr.Howard is only speculating something that can not be verified. But I do know if mainstream media keeps doing what they are doing now--giving Obama a free ride or so evidently being on his side while going very negative on Hillary, then Obama does have a chance.

Gee, another case of Clinton lying and then coming clean when he's caught? Imagine that! (Reference the Times story on shady dealings with Frank Giustra). Anyone who thinks that Hillary is exempt from Bill's lack of character needs to check out her commodity trading during his first presidential bid. THE CLINTONS WILL STINK UP THE WHITEHOUSE AGAIN! Actually, no they won't - McCain will beat HRC with ease, pulling independent voters, educated voters, and Dems. like me who value the integrity of those we put in the Oval Office.

I would have to agree that endorsements matter -- as do other connections. As more news comes out Bill Clinton's shady dealings, I think he will only continue to hurt Hillary -- see the recent headline story in the NY Times on his dealings with mining kingpin Frank Giustra. With things like this constantly percolating into the news, Clinton fatigue seems to to be turning into CCFS -- Chronic Clinton Fatigue Syndrome.

You know, I really don't care what word was used 10 - 5- 3- years ago, or what someone said that was wrong. It what they do. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THEN WORDS. I have said wrong things, I have change my mind after learning. Tonight should be an interesting debate.


I wish Romney would have turn to McCain and said "You're living in the PAST man."

Let us conservatives do our own homework and vote for the candidate that has the longest most continual stand on the issues dear to us. The media and big money controllers do not elect our president, We Do.
Let's vote for the most conservative candidate whose used the least dollars in his campaign and send the message to the world that in this country, the people's voice is still more important than big money.
We each get 1 vote, mine is for pro-life, pro-family, anti-illegal immigration, ALAN KEYES. Check him out on www.alankeyes.com and vote with your own heart.
