Well, I agree and disagree. You can study basketball all you want, but until you actually play the game, you can't be considered an expert.

 Well doesn't experience mean that one already has knowledge and or skills in a particular area of subject. Well no one truly has experience until they've already done that designed job. So how can either candidate really have true experience if the candidate never was president before. It's not like they both where running for a second term. Lastly, the last I noticed, the job posting didn't actually read " Experienced President Needed "---- nor, "Must have prior U.S. Presidential experience..."----nor, "Help Wanted! Only former Presidents need to apply..." So basically, neither had any true EXPERIENCE.

 No that is so not true! The new president just needs time to put his ideas into place!!! :-0

 Well as I do not want to be a learning tool for any prez, I do not think lack of experience means bad decisions will be made. Remember, the prez really does not hold the power it is Congress and that is even scarier to me! Obama does have experience of being senator and probably other experience in his past, I do not know what all he has done. Do not forget- God is in control here, and Obama will not do anything that God does not allow or hs not ordained. This would be true if McCain or Hillary etc would have won. But we must pray.

 I'm sure anyone who has made a career out of politics has plenty of ideas about what they would do if they president. I'm sure he has enough experience to make as good a job of it as any of your previous presidents. Who knows - maybe the lesser time he has spent in the poisonous atmosphere of politics will be a breath of fresh air - he will be less corrupted, with any luck.
