Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld have the longes resumes in Washington. What has that experience gotten us? A ripped Constitution and a war based on lies. What good is decades of experience if it comes with terrible judgement and outright evil?

Well we can all tell what you're all about. I'm sorry for you. We're all sorry for you. The talk radio must of got to you or maybe it was just Fox...You my friend are either a ignoramus, or have no hope in your life. You are insane to think the last 8 years were good for this country and would like a dish of 4 more. Wake up Sandy! Try reading a book or just plain educate yourself. Please for the sake of our country.

think about this why have a ( VP), running mate who has not always been truthful, nor does she bring to the table what Sen. Biden, does. A president wants his right hand person too be the person he or she is dealing with not the the husband whom was an ex-president as well. I am sure there is a place for her in the cabinet just not as the (VP). Obama made the best choice! The American People, have made a choice as well. We need Change Now. The World needs things to Change. What will you do go for Four more yrs. as is? Or take a Stand For Change?

Experience: Same as Abraham Lincoln

"There are times in the history of our nation when our very way of life depends upon awakening to the challenge of a present danger, shaking off complacency and rising, clear-eyed and alert, to the necessity of embracing change.

A century and a half ago, when America faced our greatest trial, the end of one era gave way to the birth of another.

The candidate who emerged victorious in that election is now regarded by most historians as our greatest president.

Before he entered the White House, Abraham Lincoln's experience in elective office consisted of eight years in his state legislature in Springfield, Illinois, and one term in Congress, during which he showed courage and wisdom to oppose the invasion of another country in a war that was popular when it started but later condemned by history.

The experience that Lincoln's supporters valued most in that race was his powerful ability to inspire hope in the future at a time of impasse.

He was known chiefly as a clear thinker and a great orator with a passion for justice and a determination to heal the deep divisions of our land.

He insisted on reaching past partisan and regional divides to exalt our common humanity.

In 2008, once again, we find ourselves at the end of an era with a mandate from history to launch another new beginning.

And once again, we have a candidate whose experience perfectly matches an extraordinary moment of transition."
Al Gore
