Experience

Experience, Experience, Experience

That word is thrown around a lot in this year's presidential election, and really in many elections. But, I stumbled on an interesting piece of information. Of course, Sen. John McCain has more experience as an elected official than Sen. Barack Obama but, how much experience does Sen. Obama have, compared to recent presidents?

Experience (in years) as an elected official for the last 5 presidents
George W. Bush -- 6 years
Bill Clinton -- 12 years
George H. w. Bush -- 12 years
Ronald Reagan -- 8 years
Jimmy Carter -- 8 years

How many years of experience will Barack Obama have if he is elected president in 2008?

12 years

Bottom Line? Just something to think about.
