Who Is More Qualified?

Isn't it just amazing the lengths that politicians will go to show that they are better suited to handle this situation or that situation. And they will say some of the dumbest things to try to prove themselves.

Well today it happened again. Obama has come out saying how he is better suited to handle a catastrophe, such as Katrina, than Palin (McCains running mate). Here is what he said from CNN's website.

“My understanding is that Gov. Palin’s town, Wassilla, has I think 50 employees. We've got 2500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe 12 million dollars a year – we have a budget of about three times that just for the month,” Obama responded.
Our ability to manage large systems and to execute I think has been made clear over the past couple of years and certainly in terms of the legislation I’ve passed in the past couple of years, post-Katrina.”

Ok first off, how do these two things even compare. Obama has been a state senator, then a federal senator. He has no experience in any capacity when it comes to handling a catastrophic event. He was not in office during 9/11. He was not in office when the war started. He played no role of any kind during the Hurricane Katrina debacle besides touring the area. Did he father one piece of legislation dealing with Katrina (Or any piece of legislation period during his 173 day tenure before campaigning for president). the answer is a resounding NO!
Furthermore, what does running a campaign of 1500 people have anything to do with experience. A campaign is made up largely of volunteers, not paid staff. The candidate, on the national level, has very little say in what happens. He may guide the portrayal made of himself but that is all. The paid staff are the ones making the decisions and guiding the ship. Not the candidate.

Plus why is Obama worried about a Vice Presidential candidate. I could see if it were the presidential candidate, but vice president candidate. I mean people like himself wants to tout the job of the president. But what does the president actually do. Does he pass laws? No! Does he create jobs? No! Does he have any control over the economy? No! The president is really no more than a figure head for our government. And thus either he gets undeserving praise for something good, or he gets unneeded heat for something bad. Sure he can influence things, but as for actually doing anything, he has very little control. the true power is held by the Congress and the Courts, and The People (or at least it should be if the politicians would keep their nose out of our rights).

Viva Liberty!
