We should all be so “inexperienced”
I’m tired of reading about Senator Barack Obama’s purported “inexperience,” so let’s just clear up a few things. Among his other accomplishments, Sen. Obama has already:
- Been the first black President of the Harvard Law Review;
- Spent three years as a brilliant community organizer;
- Created a voter-registration drive that registered 150,000 new voters;
- Spent 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor;
- Spent eight years as a State Senator, representing a district with over 750,000 people;
- Become chairman of his state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee;
- Spent four years in the United States Senate, representing a state of 13 million people;
- Sponsored 131 bills; and
- Served on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works, and Veteran’s Affairs committees.
In addition, this man has been married for 19 years to the same woman — a woman who is a Harvard-graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner-city community, then gave that up in order to devote herself full-time to caring for her children.
