Are you really trying to compare Obama's experience to JFK and Clinton? Be real people... yes experience with world affairs matters. Of course Bill Clinton will tell you to vote for him... otherwise his legacy ends with being a sore loser. But we all know how honest Bill is, so who could question him. Of course, had Barak not been so insecure he would have truly united the democratic party by putting Hillary on the ticket... and then he would have won for sure. But instead your 'candidate of change' picked a pro-choice Catholic whose been inside the Beltway for 25 years... only showing he's rattled by the republicans.
Clinton, a Rhodes scholar, was elected attorney general of Arkansas in 1976, governor of Arkansas twice and served until the '92 presidential race.
JFK commanded a PT-109 in WWII, was a Massachussets congressman in both house and senate until the '60 race.
Are you going to compare Barak's Illinois state senate stint and time as a community organizer to either of these guys? Or maybe it's his time serving with Bill Ayers' organization that has prepared him for dealing with Russian imperialism. He asked why the UN doesn't go do something about it... maybe because Russia has a veto. Foreign Affairs 101. And what has he done as a US Senator aside from prepare to run for president?
He was against the war, against the surge, and now you want swoon over his 'prescient' judgement. Of course, such langauge goes right along with his deification on the stage of a greek temple.
All the theatrics is geared to one end, people. Making you forget... his lack of experience.
