Dark Star

From Power Line, first they quote Obama then comment:

Well, my understanding is that Governor Palin’s town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We’ve got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. So I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute I think has been made clear over the last couple of years.

Apparently Obama hadn't heard about Palin being Governor of the State of Alaska, which has a budget in excess of $11 billion annually and more than 24,000 employees. Also, on Obama's theory, the act of running for President gives you the experience you need to qualify to be President. That's convenient for a guy who has accomplished so little in his career in public life.

This also illustrates why the Palin pick was a good one. The media can't help but focus on what they call her "lack of experience," which will, by necessity put the Democratic candidate for President in constant comparison with the Republican candidate for Vice President. And he still loses the battle.
