You raised an interesting point in the post on the other thread that Metacomet referenced. You said you would never have voted for Obama "since he did not have the experience" Bill Clinton responded to that very well and I will leave it to you to reference that.

I voted for him because:
a. The alternative was even worse
b. America always looks to the future and not the past. They look at the potential a candidate has. (whether seeking a job or political office or anything) and had a demonstrated capability considering where he was in 2008 in spite of the challenges he grew up in.
c. The temperament to be President.

Agree, he did not have as much of an experience to fight politics in Washington DC which is very different. I am upset at him for not having done enough for Obamacare by lobbying with the people like Clinton did for his issues.

Now look at Bill Clinton and Bush Jr. Both were in office for 8 years. Clinton had his highest popularity rating in 1998, about the time he was leaving office. And today his popularity is sky high. Bush on the other hand had his lowest rating at the time he was leaving office with his highest rating being when he entered office. The American electorate is very dynamic.
