Executive Experience?

The McCain campaign keeps touting Sarah Palin’s “executive experience” trying to pawn it off as more beneficial than “experience.”  While executive experience is probably a little beneficial, the type of executive office really makes a difference.  I think the only “experience” that Palin can really claim is her 21 months as Governor. The Mayor thing doesn’t really take a lot of experience.  First of all it only takes popularity to get elected in a small town, rather that thought or ideas. Second, mayor of Wasilla doesn’t really control that much.  As pointed out by The Daily Show last night, the mayor doesn’t control the fire department, or the schools, or the libraries.  What are you controlling if not those things?

I would dare to suggest, that while Barrack does not have much experience. Four years in the United States Senate, is probably better than less than 2 years as governor, and 6 years as mayor of a small town.

Now lets take a look at their education Sarah Palin transferred from colleghe to college four times (basically attending 5 times including the first college), and went to four different colleges, finally getting her bachelor’s degree at the University of Idaho with a degree in Communications/Journalism.

Barrack Obama Went to Occidental College for two years before transferring to Columbia University.  Where he majored in Political Science with a specialization in International Relations.  After which he entered Harvard Law School, and took over  as an editor for the Harvard Law Review The next year being elected President of the journal (Now that’s executive experience for you). He then graduated with a magna cum laude from Harvard.

I don’t know judge for yourself, who has more credentials.
