I saw a beautiful comment today.
It turns out that folks who spent 8 years in Illinois State legislature and 2 years in US Legislature, give great speeches are not experienced enough to run for president.
I am of course talking about Abraham Lincoln.
Here's what I think: experience means jack. Did you know Abraham Lincoln served 8 years in the Illionois State House of Representatives, and 2 years in the US House of Representatives?
Obama has 8 years in the Illinois State Senate, 3 in the US Senate.
He has Lincoln beat by a year.
Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience. -- George Bernard Shaw

And one more good comment from the same commenter:
Bitch is the new black, but 2008 is the new 1860.
I think we got our response to the "experience" meme.
Update: Removed Hillary's name from title, civility is king.
Update 2: Added experience to title, wow diary writing is hard.
