Barack: I’ve got more experience than her

Mr. Obama says he has more experience than she does.

He wants to compare his experience with Governor Palin’s experience.

Why?

Last we knew he was the person running for president. The governor is running for vice-president.

The proverbial 3:00am phone call rings at the White House, not at Number One Observatory Circle where the vice president lives.

Just for fun, let’s do an experience comparison anyway.

Senator Obama said:

Well, my understanding is that Governor Palin’s town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees.

We’ve got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute I think has been made clear over the last couple of years.

John Hinderaker of Power Line puts it all in perspective here.

Apparently Obama hadn't heard about Palin being Governor of the State of Alaska, which has a budget in excess of $11 billion annually and more than 24,000 employees.

Also, on Obama's theory, the act of running for President gives you the experience you need to qualify to be President. That's convenient for a guy who has accomplished so little in his career in public life.

If our intrepid reporters could focus on something other than Bristol Palin for a moment, maybe they would notice that Obama continues to make a fool of himself on a near-daily basis.
