minor point

There's been a lot of talk about how Obama doesnt have the "experience" that Hillary has, and that her experience makes her better qualified. I have two problems with that arguement:

1) Just as important as having experience yourself is to have experienced people advising you. There's no need to know everything if you have a qualified staff that you delegate well to. Yes, the ultimate responsibility still rests with you, but if your staff is good and you actually listen to them, things should go well if you are smart enough.

2) "Experience" is not the same as wisdom. The Bush Administration is filled with "experienced" people (Cheney and Rumsfeld have been around since the Nixon years), but that didnt stop them totally fucking up the country.

The preceeding should not be taken as an endorsement of Obama. I'd prefer him, but mostly because I dont want to give Ann Coulter another Clinton to continue her career with, and because Clinton's idea of national health care is to make everybody subsidize the Insurance companies rather than just those who can afford it. Still, either one of them would be okay, and I'm pretty sure that even John McCain wouldnt be the clusterfuck that we call King George and his Cabal of Doom.

There was a great cartoon on the opinion page the other day, which I cannot find, so I'll just have to describe it for you. Two people were talking, and one says (more or less), "I prefer Hillary because Omama doesnt have as much experience governing." To which the other person replied, "Obama didnt have any experience running a Presidential campaign either, but he seems to be doing okay with that". Good point!
