McCain-Gustav '08

[Calabrio]

So basically he has executive experience due to his experience campaigning.

No wonder he smiled when he said it.

Besides the outrageous claim that running a political campaign constitutes "executive experience," he made sure to compare the numbers to her Mayoral position, conveniently failing to compare the numbers to her current job, as GOVERNOR of the state of Alaska.

Actually, Glenn Beck addressed this point beautifully tonight:

BECK: Did he miss that she`s the governor now? Why would Barack Obama compare his current job with her former job? Why not compare apples to apples?

Maybe this is why. We crunched the numbers. Sorry. And since he announced his candidacy, Barack Obama has raised about $21 million a month. That`s a huge organization for sure, unless you directly compare it to Sarah Palin, who is handling revenues of 47 times as large, over a billion per month.

Barack Obama says 2,500 employees. That`s what he`s got working for him. And it is a lot. Unless you directly compare it to Sarah Palin and the Alaskan government with its over 77,000 employees or around 31 times as many as Barack.

So if, as Barack insinuates running an organization the size of his campaign is a sign you`re qualified to be president, Sarah Palin is somewhere between 37 -- or 31 and 47 times more qualified than him.

Let's not ignore her approval rating - 80% - as contrasted with Obama's current approval rating - somewhere around 47-50%.
