    "Read Bill Clinton's bio. He had served 12 years as governor of Arkansas."

    "which is, oddly enough, the same number of years that Obama has held elected office."

    That's not a serious comparison, right? A low level state senator job and half a term as Senator (half of which he's been running for POTUS) vs 12 years as govenor? Okay.....
