If that is your criteria for a good President, well, fine, that is your criteria.
But the experience claim does not hold water with me, for two simple reasons. First, some of the best Presidents we ever had had even less experience than Obama has right now. Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson. Lincoln. Obama actually has more experience than any of those four did when they got into office.
And secondly, the other side of the coin shows that some of the worst Presidents we have ever had also had the most experience. James Buchanan, Herbert Hoover, and Warren Harding especially stand out as bad Presidents who were in Washington forever.
Also, I maintain Obama does in fact understand economics, international relations, and government finance and grasp concepts instantly. I absolutely believe that Obama is easily the smarter of the two. Of the three, if you want to include McCain. I think each of their legislative records more than abundantly bear that out as well.
