This kind of foggy thinking is exactly why SFO, nearby San Jose and Bzerkley are near a laughing stock in the country right now...

Obama has been in the US Senate for 3 years, and two of those three have been spent running for President. Any private employer who was paying the guy would either fire the guy for theft of time, or tell him to pay back his salary....

Senators primarily listen to testimony (except Biden, Kennedy and group), then preen and go find the nearest camera and talk, and talk, and talk. Did we miss anything concrete these folks do with their time and our money?

Nah....didn't think so.

"Unqualified" in the liberal opinion of the Mercury News. And now we come to their money quote to explain away Barack Obama's lack of the experience they are suddenly so concerned about:

.............Republicans will argue that Palin is no less experienced than Obama. That's ridiculous. In the Senate, in organizing a stunningly successful national campaign and through 18 months of hard campaigning for the nomination, Obama proved to be as capable, articulate and knowledgeable as anyone in Congress — and certainly the equal of McCain.............

You read that right. Barack Obama is now qualified to run for president because he has the "experience" of campaigning for nomination.

In a pinch, there’s no substitute for a dose of circular logic.
