Her foreign policy experience would have at least been a slight match our Az senator.
Obama is a boy who has done nothing for this country except run his mouth about "what he's gonna do if.." he never even voted on bills in the senate. The boy needs to achieve some accomplishments before he runs again. The US will be a heap of trouble if he gets it.. like a having a two-year old try to land a jumbo jet during a tornado.

Having said what I have - I have to be honest and say that I'm not happy with either choice. Oh well......
looks like voting for the lesser evils again. Sad, sad, sad...................
I find it kind of ironic how so many people complain about Obama's lack of experience yet we just had George W. Bush elected to two terms in office. I guess Bush's impressive resume over his, at the time, 54 years was enough for this country but what Obama has accomplished in 46 years is worth nothing? Is it because Obama had to work his way up to the spot where he is now and Bush had everything paid for and handed to him?

Or is it because we don't want to repeat the same mistakes for another 8 years.....?

Personally I do agree that Obama is not very experienced. However, I think there is a lot more to being a President than experience. Although I do not agree with everything Obama says and does, I do get the feeling he is trying to do what is best for the people. He isn't afraid to take a new route and try something new. Will he make mistakes? Probably, but not the kind of mistakes that will cost this country our brothers lives and trillions of dollars of debt (and still counting) while making Halliburton more money than any of us could even dream of, to name one example.

"Out of office during the Clinton presidency, Cheney was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Halliburton Company from 1995 to 2000."

This is a lot more than I can say for any politician I have seen in the past decade both Democrat and Republican, who all seem to only be interested in one thing: the well being of themselves and those who helped get them to the spot they are at.
