These guys just did not have the experience
to be President.
Lincoln, one term in Congress.
T. Roosevelt, two years as Governor, 6 months as Vice President.
F.D. Roosevelt, one term State Senator, one term Governor


And of course the man with probably the most experience prior to becoming President, Richard Nixon.

See, this is a BIG issue.

1. good point
I don't know if there is any true experience that qualifies one for president. It is such a unique job.

When Truman became president, he confided that there were probably 1000 men in Washington more qualified than him to do the job, but that the job had fallen to him and he was bound to do it as best he could. I like that notion.

2. It's not about experience...
It's about JUDGMENT!

3. Look at all the experience Dick Cheney had
And look at where the country is today.

'nuff said.
