Obama Laughs off Palin’s National Security Experience »

Posted By capj71 9 months, 4 weeks ago in News

During his interview on ABC’s This Week program this morning, Obama laughed off the idea that Sarah Palin has more national security experience than he does. He also took the Republicans to task for mocking his time as a community organizer. “I actually knew that Russia was next to Alaska as well. I saw it on a map,” Obama said.

    McCain was saying that her visiting ANG troops in Kuwait gave her national security experience. This gets more like Comedy Central everyday.

    No. It's more like being on the Senate Foreign Relations committee gives him experience.

    It is my understanding that he never called a meeting.

    Doubts about Barack Obama's presidential credentials have crystallized during the past two weeks over his stewardship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Subcommittee on European Affairs, which has convened no policy hearings since he took over as its chairman last January.

    If Obama wants to show where he has been, he merely has to release his passport records.

    Then everyone would know that his boast about traveling extensively in Europe is true -- even if this year he didn't have time to convene a hearing on the momentous issues affecting our relations with that continent and the world.

      Being on the Senate Foreign Relations committee gives Obama National Security experience. The only security related call Palin ever received at 3am was of a neighbor complaining about Moose in their garbage cans.

      Palin was chosen because she was supposed to represent the common people. Can't people see how they are being manipulated? She is a pretty woman, with children involved in her local political scene. She didn't want to be in politics, she fell into it. after she got her start in broadcasting and PTA Meetings. She has NO experience or education to run a country. I am your average American and I d on't want someone like me to run this country. i want a person who has dedicated their life to poltics evidenct by their choice of education and career goals. The Pres and VP positions are the most important positions in America. We should expect the highest level of intelligence , experience and dedication. Palin never aspired to any of this, if she had she would have at least chosen a different college major than journalism.

      try laughing off todays folls that have mccain/palin up by 4 to 10 %--the bloom is off the osamabama rose--from here on its just a matter of how badly he hurts the local tickets--voters are starting realize that he's just an empty suit fronting radical hard left socialism --palin is also a far better speaker than he is because she actually says things that have meaning--without his platitudes barry has nothing--oh wait he does--ayers--rev wright--rezko--achi--a shrew wife--community activism driving hundreds of families into decrepit housing---

      Does Palin have any experience handling a Con red meat issue - illegal immigration?

      How about that national security issue?

        "...John McCain has been talking about putting country first and extolling the virtues of national service that’s what I did between the ages of 24 and 27 before I went to law school."

        What do you have to say to that, Georgia? Enlighten us.

          It makes no sense to compare Obamo to Palin. Obamo has a law degree from the most prestigeous university in the USA. He taught constitution law for 10 years. He was a state senator in Illinois for 7 years. He serves as US Senator almost 4 years (Foreign Affairs Committee) and have met with with many foreign leaders. His experience is actually more diverse than John McCain who only served in the Navy and US Senate. Sarah has served as Mayor of a small town and Governor for less than 2 years of a state less than the size of San Antonia, population wise.

            It's funny how the republicans are mocking the community organizer credentials of Senator Obama. If it weren't for community organizers and people believing things should be different-the United States wouldn't be what it is today. Tell all those men, women and children that fought for civil rights and our other rights that community organizers do nothing-this if for blacks, women, gun owners, gays & lesbians... This is how much Gov. Palin thinks of everything this nation stands for-we are just peons in her world.

            Obama wouldn't visit troops without media coverage. Rather shoot some baskets.
            That shows his real character.

            Well spoken!

            I call them the "stupid vote." Those are the people McCain has on his side, besides the murderers for money.

              Palin has more political experience than Obama bin Laden periiod. What else could he do but laugh it off. If he gets elected I see another version of the Cream Puff Carter years. Oh no!

              My question is...If Obama can't protect HIMSELF from the hits he has been taking from Gov. Palin, then how in the world will he protect US from the delusional N. Koreans, the angry Iranians, the hostile Russians let alone Osama?

              Good grief the man-child has been eaten alive by a PTA member!!!

              Neither of them has national security experience. The unfortunate thing is, again, we are comparing the TOP of the Democrat ticket to the BOTTOM of the Republican ticket.

              The Republican party substitutes falsehoods for the truth. Does anyone know what an elitist is?

              Google the Bush family, Zapata Oil, or Keating 5
