There is no requirement that presidential candidates have any experience as senators much less a certain number of days as senators so the number of days Obama was a senator is somewhat irrelevant to whether he'd be a good president.

How many days of experience does Sarah Palin have as Senator? How many days of experience did Reagan have in Congress? Carter, Clinton, W?
Experience in Congress does not necessarily have anything to do with whether someone would make a good President or not. According to my research only about half of American Presidents had Congressional experience. In fact, the person who most people regard as the greatest President, Washington, had no Congressional experience. While the person most people consider the worst, Harding, came from the Senate.
There are many good reasons why you may not want to vote for Obama, AlohaKine, but don't let yourself be manipulated by this amateurish and irrelevant email. Research both candidate's positions, style, and relevance and then decide who you want to vote for.Peace, Love, and Local Grindz

My favorite US President Theodore Roosevelt had so little experience. Wow!

Don't vote for Obama because of his stand on abortion, or entitlements, or social security. Pick a good reason not to vote for him, not something that has no relevance.Peace, Love, and Local Grindz

Originally posted by AlohaKine View Post'From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of "experience" in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working. After 143 days of work "experience," Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World .... 143 days.

Yeah,.... pretty good. Right.
The experience argument for McCain. Pretty much trashed ever since he picked Sarah Palin to be his running mate.
Here's something a little more fresh than a stale e-mail.
