Apples to apples

Huh?

Barack Obama contends that he is more experienced in executive matters than Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin because he has managed his presidential campaign for the past 18 months.

So, running for President makes you qualified to be President?

“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,” Obama said.

You've got to be kidding me. Mr. Obama, are you TRYING to lose this campaign that the media is sooo willing to win for you? Why are you comparing your current job...running for President...with her old job...being mayor of a small Alaskan town. Are you afraid to compare apples to apples? Your current job...running for President...employs 2500 people and has a $432 million budget. Sarah Palin's current job...running the State of Alaska...employs 77,000 people and has a budget of $6.6 billion dollars..

So, by your standards, how does this make you more qualified than her to be in the White House? No wonder you don't want to compare apples to apples.
