Rave #9 - Obama ACTUALLY Said His Pursuit of the White House Qualifies Him to be President!!

In his own words, Obama said yesterday:

“Well, my understanding is that Governor Palin’s town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We’ve got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute I think has been made clear over the last couple of years."

First of all, apparently Obama thinks that his campaign managers have done a great job handling the last 18 months of his pre-packaged life, and for that much I agree... they're the best liberal business universities have to offer, and I'm sure they're running a fantastic "corporation" using all the fundamentals of any reasonable firm: outsourcing where necessary, and hiring based upon merit, not skin color (how ironic).

But secondly, I am laughing at the notion that Barack's "handlers" mistakenly informed him only of the stats regarding her mayoral and city council years, which even a 5th grader could find by googling "Sarah Palin experience". Great job, Campaign Managers and Mr. Experience - Barack Obama.

But my amusement is this: Obamuhh used her Wasilla experience as a counterpoint, failing to mention her other experience:

Running a corporation (a.k.a. the state of Alaska)
Employer of over 25,000 people
Managing a budget of $10 billion
Facilitating the proper management of 18 different State departments

She is currently in charge of a state that borders and negotiates with two foreign countries (Canada and Russia), manages land that would stretch from Georgia to California and is currently negotiating a $40 billion pipeline to bring alternative fuels to the United States.

Obamuhh has experience managing a political campaign. ...and maybe a lemonade stand when he was a kid.

BTW, Obamuhh, she has 20 months of experience managing this one, 2 months more than your blessed campaign which started out a lot smaller than your little darling. THEN, you can add her Wasilla experience on top of that if you want. And for that matter, Wasilla isn't some podunk "town of 7,000". First of all, the city proper has nearly 10,000 residents drawn by it's access to Anchorage, spectacular growth, it's plentiful jobs, low sales taxes (less than 3%), low property taxes (down 60% during Palin's administration) and good schools. It is also the economic center of a larger borough that is home to over 65,000 residents.

But, even I digress... she still has more experience than Obama as GOVERNOR, not including her experience in any other capacity.

Its laughable that Obama thought his PURSUIT of the White House would qualify him as President. That's like saying the Freshman in High School who campaigns to be student body President is therefore qualified to be Principal of the school.

I can't believe Obamuhh actually said something so imbicile on the campaign trail - does he really think Americans are going to smile and nod on something as idiotic as this?

Not this one.
