What do Abe Lincoln, Harry Truman, JFK, Lyndon Johnson and Al Gore have in common?
None of them had executive experience when they initially entered the White House, whether as president or vice president.

Here are a few of our past presidents with executive experience:

George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, Warren Harding, Herbert Hoover, and Calvin Coolidge-a who's who of the "Worst of the 20th century"

I think I'll take my chances that judgement outweighs executive experience
