The lifetime experience of Obama that Clinton and Ferraro have dismissed and denigrated is 46 years long, with 20 of them in public service:

-Obama's Lifetime Experience includes:

-an outstanding education (including serving as the first AA president of Harvard law review)

-a good family

-work as a community organizer and a civil rights attorney (which he took after rejecting lucrative corporate legal jobs)

-teaching constitutional law

-8 years as an IL state senator

-3 years as a US senator

-strong, meaningful and productive legislative accomplishments which include work/bills/results on healthcare, poverty, crime, civil rights, ethics reform, the environment, procuring loose nukes, helping strife-ridden Congo populace, etc. And a progressive voting record.

-strong opposition to the war. Not only with his speech in Oct'02 but also in striving all the way through March 2003 to prevent an invasion of Iraq. More at this link...
