Rep Wilson R-NM Calls Obama 'frighteningly inexperienced.'
Rep. Wilson calls Obama 'frighteningly inexperienced'
Posted: 02:02 PM ET

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney


Rep. Heather Wilson, a surrogate for John McCain, called Obama 'frighteningly inexperienced.'
(CNN) – A leading surrogate for John McCain called Barack Obama "frighteningly inexperienced" Tuesday, the latest effort from the Arizona senator's presidential campaign to step up its criticism of the Democratic presidential candidate while he travels abroad.

Speaking on a conference call with reporters, Rep. Heather Wilson, R-New Mexico, sharply criticized Obama and his presidential campaign for suggesting the Iraqi government had endorsed his timetable for withdrawal from the war-torn country.

"He's not listening to the whole of what the Iraqi government was saying — he's hearing what he wanted to hear and what he thought would help him politically, which get backs to Senator Obama as a candidate for the presidency," Wilson said. "He has his finger in the wind, trying to figure out which way the wind is blowing, and he is not leading.

-----
What a narrow minded person she is..........:grr: :grr: :hi:
"He is no way sophisticated enough, I don't think — I mean he is frighteningly inexperienced when it comes to international affairs and national security policy," she added. "And he heard what he wanted to hear from the Iraqi government, without any context around it, and took that simple message and decided it helped him politically. That's the antitheses of what we should expect from a president of the United States."

8. BUT HIS DADDY WAS PRESIDENT SO THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING !11!!1!!!
Nevermind that Chimpy's drunken ass never left the country until the 1990's. And that was only to visit the Zapata Oil fields in Bahrain.

He didn't even go to Canada, and he was a deserter, for fucks sake.

Sometimes I wish we could get the chance to respond to these people
Some of the things they say are so foolish and the press rarely calls them on it.

6. Yeah, I know those repubs are frightened
shitless of Obama's so-called non experience.

Fear not, pubs, Obama's gaining "experience" as we speak..and Obama learns from his experience and his mistakes and is able to make good judgment calls.

7. If Obama wins, then she won't have a job in government.
She didn't run for re-election to the House because she wanted to run for the US Senate. But she lost the Republican primary.

If McCain wins, he'll probably give her a job.

If Obama wins, we probably won't have Heather Wilson (R) in the government anymore.

10. Nah, I only smell CNN propoaganda
and now that they've gained more cover for their far right spin from the NY Times- expect the shamelessness to get bumped up a notch.

11. When Obama stares into a foreign leader's eyes, and publicly
states he's seen into his or her soul, I'll concede he's pretty d### inexperienced.

You see, the current President set new standards for inexperience.

12. Nobody had more experience that Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Perle
And of course Republicans told us that Al Gore's superior experience over Baby Bush in 2000 did not much matter because the latter would appoint "good people" and surround himself with top-notch "advisors".

14. So very true
And for the King of Jordan to cut his U.S. vacation short so he could go home to welcome Obama says a lot.

20. Why would I care if someone I've never heard of thinks he's inexperienced
As if she were the arbiter of presidential experience. And she is.....?

21. That's going to be their catch-phrase for the campaign.
"Frighteningly inexperienced."

Fear. It's all they've got.
