Lipstick and the Pig and experience.

PLEASE!!!! ENOUGH ALREADY!!! Do we have to sit here and take in another Presidential campaign full of enough smoke to choke the all of the electorate? Talk about greenhouse gases both these campaigns have enough to melt the polar ice caps three times over! The latest storm is over Obama's use of pigs and lipstick in the same sentence. When challenging whether or not his opponent, John McCain's, had the ability to bring change to Washington, Obama said that you can put lipstick on a pig and it would still be a pig. Well, Obama may be correct about McCain's 30 years in Washington and his ability to bring about change as president, but as a first term senator does Obama, himself have the experience to be president?
Lets face it, if you know your government then you know that a senator's job does nothing to prepare him or her for the presidency. If anything being a governor of a state holds more of the same responsibilities as that of a president. A governor is the commander in chief of the state police and national guard. A governor prepares a budget, nominates judges, and signs and vetoes laws. Sound familiar? That's right the president does all of that too. So then, who would you think is more qualified to become president? A Senator who hasn't been in Washington long enough to put a dent in his seat cushion or his running mate and opponent, who have both been in the Senate long enough to see the curtains changed at least three times. Or perhaps the Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin and her two years of experience as the executive officer of that state? I don't know sounds like it sells itself.
