Are You Experienced? Palin and Obama. A Comparison.
excerpt: “This is the part where I get confused. Are we really doing this again as a country? Y’know, skimming the experience of people with advanced degrees and lifelong interests in academic study and snickering “they think they’re so mighty pants” while concluding, well, their education is probably not important? Are we still highlighting skills in management and delegation while downplaying the totally different accomplishments of critical analysis and thinking?
The management experience is helpful stuff, but there’s this difference that’s compelling to me. Barack has had his ability to analyze critically rigorously tested and challenged for decades.
This isn’t a subtle difference, is it? Really? Is experience in middle management all we’re striving for in our potential Presidents? C’mon, everyone. Let’s let some better light shine here.
To me the debate about experience weighs toward Mr. Obama not because Mrs. Palin is somehow incompetent (this is false and unfair) but because Mr. Obama has great (and greater) breadth and competency.”
