Bill Clinton Says He Was More Experienced Than Obama (Update1)

[2rth2pwr]

Sept. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Former President Bill Clinton said he was far more experienced when he made his successful 1992 White House run than Senator Barack Obama is today.

``There is a difference,'' Clinton said in an interview with Bloomberg Television's ``Political Capital With Al Hunt'' that will air this weekend. ``I was the senior governor in America. I had been head of any number of national organizations that were related to the major issue of the day, which is how to restore America's economic strength.''

Bill Clinton, 61, said Obama's experience today is closer to his own in 1988, when he decided not to pursue a White House run. ``I came within a day of announcing, because most of the governors were for me and I had been a governor for six years,'' Clinton said in the interview taped in New York. ``And I really didn't think I knew enough and had served enough and done enough to run.''

Obama has the added difficulty that the international situation is more complicated today, with the threat of terrorism and the war in Iraq, than it was in 1992, Clinton said.

Obama can't just lay back, the Clintons will steamroller him.

1. Obama has the vision Hillary lacks. No "experience" can change that.

6. What vision...

I see a lot of vision like words, but not to much on the specifics...

Perhaps he needs to get Lasic surgery on his vision so it would be clearer to all concerned...

14. Obama Has No Vision and No Experience

He'll be in the senate and then overtime you'll be bashing him for his voting record.

10. funny how he came out with this the day after Obama threw a party for 25,000 in NY. lol

Trust me. Obama is not laying back. Don't mistake his cool for not doing anything. When he strikes it will be when Hillarity is not looking.

11. Bill still doesn't have the "experience" to attract such crowds.

15. With Lines Like That, It's No Wonder Why Obama is Losing

12. it`s not only "experience" it`s the wisdom to surround

one`s self with the best advisors and cabinet to provide information and discussion to make a decision.
