The following is an outrageous claim that is true, “Governor Palin has more executive experience than Senators McCain, Biden and Obama combined.”  She has more time in office than Barak Hussein Obama.  Is she in the same league as McCain or Biden when it comes to foreign policy?   No.  But neither is Barak Hussein Obama.  The Republican ticket has its more experienced candidate at the top of the ticket.  The Democrats have their more photogenic candidate at the top of the ticket.

Suddenly experience matters to Democrats?  When the comparison is McCain v. Obama they mumble things about how bright Obama is and his awesome judgment. Take  his opposition to the surge as an example.  Instead of comparing McCain to Obama, they make the inherently invalid comparison between Obama, the top of their ticket, and Palin the bottom of the Republican ticket.  This is not going to hold water except among the Obamiacs.  The comparison is invalid because Palin’s opposite number is Biden, not Obama.  For the record, to humor this unwashed hoard, let’s make the Obama v. Palin comparison, just to set things straight …

Palin ran a fishing business.  Obama was a community organizer.  In this case Palin helped produced something that people wanted, in a dangerous industry.  Obama was little more than a polite rabble rouser.  This is more than likely where he learned his oratory skills.

Palin was the mayor of a small town of 9,000 in Alaska.  Obama was an Illinois state senator.  Here Palin made daily policy decisions AND more than likely did get calls at three in the morning.  Obama made speeches and voted present most of the time, except when the bill was to provide medical attention to children who survived late term abortion procedures.  Then he voted no.

Obama got elected to the U.S. Senate in part, by engineering the opening of his Republican opponent’s divorce files.  That candidate dropped out less than 4 months before the election.  Alan Keyes was then put up as a sacrificial lamb.  Palin first defeated the incumbant Governor in the Republican primary and then went on to defeat her Democrat opponent in a year that was decidedly tilting Democrat.

Since elected, Obama spent less then 150 days in office before skipping out to go run for president.  During that 150 days Obama introduced the “Iraq War De-Escalation Act”, basically we would cut and run, the time table calling for us to be out of Iraq by April 2008.  He also co-authored two other pieces of legislation, Lugar-Obama and Coburn Obama.  This is actually fine work for a freshman Senator.

Since elected, Palin took office and did not go on campaign, instead she is running a sparsely populated state that is physically larger than Texas and California combined.  She has an approval rating around 80%.   She has taken on big oil and forced the oil companies to build a new gas line. She has taken on the power structure of her own party and has crusaded against corruption.  People have been fired, fined and are under indictment.  She has reduced the budget and taxes.  This is fine work for a first term governor.  Did I mention calls at three in the morning come with this job as well?

As far as acomplishments go, Palin compares very well to Obama.  To call her an inexperienced light weight is to then highlight that Obama is a light weight.  They are both talented people.  The two of them have both risen quickly and are products of their states.  She hunts moose, Obama helped to run a non-profit with the terrorist Bill Ayers. In the final analysis the chief difference is that Palin is the Vice Presidential pick; Obama is running for the top spot.  Can we now return to comparing McCain with Obama?
