Portrayal of an Inexperienced Palin and an Experienced Obama.

Well, this was expected. The media has released the attack dogs on Sarah Palin. The first weakness they will try to exploit: her lack of experience. In order to do this they are going to try and portray Barack Obama as much more experienced than Palin. This is a lie, but it is one that will be packaged in a way people will believe.

Here is a prime example of this attempt to raise Obama’s experience of Palin’s from the editorial page of Mercury News in California:

“Republicans will argue that Palin is no less experienced than Obama. That is ridiculous. In the Senate, in organizing a stunningly successful national campaign and through 18 months of hard campaigning for the nomination, Obama proved to be as capable, articulate and knowledgeable as anyone in Congress – and certainly the equal to McCain.”

The left will continue to use this fact that Obama has executive experience because he has ran this stunning campaign that employs all these people, but what does that actually mean?

Obama didn’t actually run or organize the campaign. He brought in some very capable people to do that for him. So all he has proved is he can hire effective people to do a job, which is an important skill in itself, but it is hard to believe, as Governor of Alaska Palin has not done the same.

As far as his Senate experience, Obama was only in the Senate for 143 days before he announced his candidacy for the presidency. He then essentially became a part time Senator.

Articulate? Yeah ok. I will give that one to Obama as long as there is a teleprompter near by.

Obama running a “stunningly national campaign” somehow makes him more experienced than running the executive branch of the State of Alaska. A state that is vital to the U.S. economy.

We can expect to see a lot more editorials and columns like this one before November.
