Obama Inexperience
Earlier today, Colin Powell became a Democrat, endorsing Barack Obama on NBC’s Meet the Press and trying to keep a straight face when he said race was not a factor in his decision.
It is believed that George H.W. Bush, who essentially gave Powell his entire career, is trying to get his hands around Powell’s throat at this very moment.
According to Powell, Obama is a “transformational figure” – sort of like Sarah Palin, but without the disadvantage of being a white, female conservative.
In Powell’s parallel universe, John McCain’s poor choice of running mate Palin – who has more executive experience than Barack Obama and just as much experience in economics and foreign affairs – was what convinced him to endorse Obama.
Voters trying to figure out how Powell got away with this double talk had to remind themselves: The endorsement took place on NBC.
It has nothing to do with race, Powell insisted. He has been thinking a long time about this important decision; finally he decided to accept Barack Obama as his personal Lord and Savior.
It has nothing to do with race, he emphasized.
Nothing whatsoever. He promises.

Barack Obama, determined to make voters aware of his economic credentials, said late last night that he was going ahead with the debate tonight, even if he and Jim Lehrer just shot the bull and joked around all night.
“I look forward to debating with me, myself and I – my favorite people!” said Obama in a statement.
Lehrer was unavailable for comment.
Meanwhile, John McCain was up all night fixing the problems facing our nation’s economy.

Here's the link to the quote (it's in paragraph five) of Obama thinking he takes office in November:
Here's Barack Obama's response to JM saying we should put off the debates:
"It's my belief that this is exactly the time that the American people need to hear from the person who (in) 40 days will be responsible for dealing with this (economic crisis)...."
So ... he thinks the president TAKES OFFICE in 40 days?
And he wants to be POTUS?
Voters, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
As the late Mel Allen used to say, "How about that!"
Apparently there were a lot of confused Democrats today ripping into Senator McCain on Iraq. Wait till they try and figure this out..
Could it be that he is now no longer the Barack Obama that he knew..... ;)
Hat Tip: Captain Ed over at Hot Air.
New Rasmussen Polling seems to suggest that Barack Obama's inexperience is a greater liability than is John McCain's age. Democrats have made much of the "age-issue," but the bigger issue just may be Obama's lack of any real record to go along with his lofty rhetoric:
As the general election campaign gets started, 41% of voters nationwide say that Barack Obama is too inexperienced to be President while 30% say John McCain is too old. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey found that 6% of voters believe both statements are true while 24% say neither is accurate.
Forty-seven percent (47%) disagree with the assertion that Obama is too inexperienced while 64% say that McCain is not too old. On both these questions, there are significant generational differences. Senior citizens, by a two-to-one margin, reject the notion that McCain is too old. However, by a 48% to 38% margin, those over 65 say that Obama is too inexperienced.
As for voters under 30, they reject the notion that Obama is too inexperienced by a two-to-one margin. Thirty-eight percent (38%) of the youngest voters say that McCain is too old.
