How experience does one need to be experienced? The below article from the NYTimes comments on the most recent controversy over whether Obama is experienced enough in foreign policy to be president. the article quotes some who say when it comes to determining the country's foreign policy, experience is overrated.
Is being Senator not experience enough? Do we need a life-long military man to run our country? they would certainly have lots of experience with foreign policy. seems to me though, that the Times might be on to something -- a fresh perspective and good judgment might be much more valuable than decades of experience in a broken system.
Interesting to think that in fact, the people with the most experience right now in running the country are President Bush and VP Cheney. I couldn't exactly say that all that experience has helped them any...
