Experience vs. Inspiration

When I fly in an airplane I want the pilot with the most experience, not the one who can inspire hope in me that I get to where I am going. When I pay my taxes, I want the person filing them to be experienced, not the new person who inspires hope in me that he can do the job. When I hire someone to fix my washing machine, I want the tried and true experienced person, not the one who inspires me to hope that he can fix it. When I go to the doctor I do not want to get the one who inspires hope in me that s/he can cure what's wrong, but the one who knows what the hell to do the minute I call. It's not really the job of a public servant to inspire, but to get the job that the people demand done. The democrats think that if they have hope and are inspired things will get better, but they actually won't. When Oprah makes her employees sign her fifty page non-disclosure statement, she doesn't "hope" they can't break it, she pays teams of experienced lawyers to MAKE SURE they can't break it, or be sued in an experienced court by an experienced judge.

We are drowning in experience and we do not need anymore and people who argue otherwise have not been paying attention to why we are in the mess we are in. New blood is needed. Down with washington experience!

Down with Washington experience! I assume you have no one to vote for. They all have Washington experience.

Agreed! This article is comparing apples and oranges- there is one way to fly a plane or file taxes- there are a million ways to oversee government. After this administration has completely disregarded and disrespected our constitution- I want a president who's familiar with the document.

"I was a teacher of the constitution, I believe in the constitution, and I will follow the constitution"- Barack Obama

He taught constitutional law at University of Chicago- seems like he's got experience in that arena. THAT is the kind of experience our country has been lacking.
