How whiny does this sound from Obama...
Obama: I Have More Executive Experience Than Palin
Barack Obama contends that he is more experienced in executive matters than Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin because he has managed his presidential campaign for the past 18 months.
Speaking on a cable news channel Monday night, the Democratic presidential nominee said he is better prepared to handle a disaster like Hurricane Gustav because of his pursuit of the White House.
“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,” Obama said.
John McCain’s spokesman called the suggestion “laughable.”
“For Barack Obama to argue that he’s experienced enough to be president because he’s running for president is desperate circular logic and its laughable. It is a testament to Barack Obama’s inexperience and failing qualifications that he would stoop to passing off his candidacy as comparable to Governor Sarah Palin’s executive experience managing a budget of over $10 billion and more than 24,000 employees,” said spokesman Tucker Bounds.
I love it, his "executive" experience is having campaign staff, almost none of whom report to him and many who have never met him. He just comes across sounding petty here, which I think it totally in character for him.

If management experience is all it takes then the manager at the White Castle up the street is as qualified as Obama to run the White House.
Come to think of it, even a new fresh-faced manager at White Castle is as experienced as Obama. Besides, they already run the "White Castle" so they should be able to run the "White House."
Man, honestly, sometimes I am amazed at my own brilliance.
I would think that a person would think they were ready/qualified when they start to campaign to be President. If Obama says his campaign leadership is his experience then what was his experience when he started this whole thing?
I agree this is argument is laughable at best.
That was pretty funny Michael.
