The Republicans, the news media and other candidates running for the office of president have all expressed their misgivings about the "lack of experience" on the part of Barack Obama. They have derided his lack of foreign policy experience. No one has commented on the fact President Bush had experience entering the highest office in this land and look at the results we have inherited.
