This is supposed to be an election for president not PR rock star. You are hiring the CEO of Firm USA. Who do you want to run the firm, a manager with over 25 years experience or the newly hired stockboy?

If you complain about Palin's experience to be VP candidate where does that leave Obama? She has more real experience than he has. Or is Obama really running as Biden's VP?
If you think the Bailout is bad, you have not seen anything compared the Obama's program cost.-

McCain "a manager"? Like he manages to excuse the lack of any difference between him and Bush by blaming Obama for the economic crises? Like he manages his campaign by hiring 177 lobbyists? Like he managed to dump his disabled wife for a younger heiress? Like he managed to squeeze through 26 years in the Senate by beating his POW story to death? Like he managed to gin up the GOP base by selecting a fundy dominionist beauty queen as a running mate? -

I have to tell you a maverick is not a president make...With the 3 branches of government if you as the president decides to go off on your own you will **** someone off and nothing will get done. McCain is not the person to make the changes that are necessary to get our nation back in shape. We cannot run the risk of having more of this for another 4 years.

He is in bead with the wrong guys like his economic advisers and the lobbyist for Freddie and Fannie, all i see now is creating some distance between himself and them but who among us really feels he has really drop them? Once elected they would be right back in there! -

To put Obama in the same classification of a 'stockboy' is...well....stupid. A Constitutional scholar, a civil rights advocate & attorney, a State Senator, a US Senator is hardly a 'stockboy.'
As for hiring a CEO, I would hire based on a person's decisions and actions when considering a candidate, not on how many years they spent doing it.-

it pains me to say it, but you're right. its a bad analogy.
Reply
the analogy shouldn't be between hiring an experienced CEO to run Company USA,and a stockboy, it should be between an experienced CEO and a socialist organizer to run Company USA.
i watched Fox's O Reilly last night -i'm not a regular. i watch it when i'm channel surfing maybe once a month, but he made an interesting point.
with the economy clearly tanking thanks to Wall Street, personal income will be off, so there's less rich people to rob FOR less money and capital gains have taken a whack that will provide income tax deductable losses for years, so capital gain taxes will be tiny. the economy will shrink, so there won't be any windfall profits from the oil companies
how's O gonna pay for his socialist pipe dreams? once you've tapped the rich, and Big Oil, who's left?
one guess. YOU. and its going to be higher taxes in an economy wracked by recession. its always GOOD to raise taxes during a recession. every socialist wingnut knows that!
keep pumping up O. he'll save you from yourself.-

If you want to make a comparison, why not compare actually experience. McCain has never been an executive (i.e. President or Governor) therefore at best he's upper management, not a CEO. And his stint in upper management is much longer (26 years without a promotion) compared to the new and up-and-coming opponent who is ALSO in upper management, and has only been there for 3 years, but in that time has managed to impress a lot of people.

So, to compare apples to apples, who do you want to run the company, the Upper Manager who has been in his position for 26 years, and angered a lot of his fellow Upper Managers (and employees) while in the position, or the up-and-coming Upper Manager who has impressed many in a very short time?
As for Palin, you can rightly use her as a CEO in your comparison. But make sure you acknowledge that she's like the CEO of a mom-and-pop shop vs. the Upper Management experience of BOTH presidential candidates in a multi-national corporation with 500 times as many employees. -

--But beavs? What you cons so often sidestep is the fact that you did not ONCE ask how Bush was going to pay for any of his excesses (including multiple wars and multiple unprecedented war time tax cuts for the least needy Americans) so what on EARTH makes you think we care what you think is excessive spending on the Democrats' side? You morons re-elected Bush AFTER he obliterated a budget surplus, beavs. WE DO NOT CARE what a con thinks is excessive taxation. Get that through your thick, and unbelievably small con skulls. Your opinions on fiscal responsibility and personal accountability are 100% IRRELEVANT. That's just a reality you must come to accept. I'm so very sorry to break this to cons. ;-(

Then what does it say about cons that you're more excited about the prospect of having Palin running our country and looking for Putin to rear his head than you are your actual Presidential candidate? Exactly...It says something is very scary and warped in your reasoning and logic and that this is probably a good election year for you people to stay the hell home and carefully review the horrific impact on our country of your extremely bizarre decision making over the last 8 years.

WORKING IN CONGRESS AND IN THE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE HAS TRAINED SENATOR OBAMA. INSTEAD SAARA PALIN HAS NEVER HANDLED FOREIGN POLICY.
Reply
BESIDES, THE TOWN SHE GOVERNS IS SMALL AND PRIMITIVE. WE DO NOT NEED A NEOPHYTE AS VP OR PRESIDENT (IF MCCAIN DIES OR RETIRES.)-

Actually, it's a state she governs, Alaska, the largest state and one of the most important in oil and other resources. It is primitive like the other states were when they were sane and prosperous. I prefer governor's experience over senators. But we have no choice in this election.

Obama has been trained? You mean for the 143 days he actually was there?
