This will be my only comment, I won't make more.

Obama: 8 years in the State Senate, 3 years in the US Senate.

Hillary: 7 years in US Senate, 8 years as first lady.

I don't think that either of them have any claim to having extensive political experience that would make them well suited to handling the presidency.

But lack of experience hasn't stopped some from being effective Presidents. Love or hate Ronald Reagan, he was effective at a number of policy matters, and yet was only Governor of California for 8 years. On the other hand, although Jimmy Carter was a very smart man, he was not a very effective President, but he too, was a state Governor for a single term. Then again, W was a two-term governor, who was actually quite popular in his home state, and drew praise for surrounding himself with competent staff, but his presidency has been an unmitigated disaster.

Bottom line: experience is not always the critical factor in whether one will be an effective (and good) President.
