Requisite Experience?

I'm truly amazed at the Democrats on Capital Hill. NOW they're concerned about requisite experience as a requirement to work in the highest echelon of the federal government.

Obama's choice for our next surgeon general is CNN's chief medical correspondent and neurosurgeon, Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

Here's one example. According to The Hill newspaper, Obama is finding opposition from Democrat Representative John Conyers, a proponent of universal healthcare, who cites Gupta’s lack of “the requisite experience.”

Conyers wrote, “It is not in the best interests of the nation to have someone like this who lacks the requisite experience needed to oversee the federal agency that provides crucial health care assistance to some of the poorest and most under served communities in America.”

Say what? You mean experience is necessary to run cabinet posts, but it isn't necessary to run the country?

We now have a president, who I have nicknamed "stutter bug", who has never made a single executive decision because he has never run a city or a state. His governmental experience consists of serving as an Illinois State Senator for eight years and a US Senator for two years (most of which he has spent running for president) where he made no executive decisions either.

We are now faced with the grim reality of having the most liberal and least experienced man to ever hold the highest office in our nation....a man who will make critical decisions that will affect our lives in the present as well as possibly change this country for future generations. Yet, that fact didn't seem to bother the Democrats, the Obamanites or the Obama Zombies when one of their own was running for president. So why should it now?
