In 2009, how many Democratic senators rationalized what Obama did as him being inexperienced?

I can't find all that many... but if one does look it up, they will see lots of righties saying he was inexperienced and it meant he was unfit for the job.

When did being green become a good thing exactly?

because he says "um" a lot when he speaks. He said it was the most "un-presidential" thing he has ever heard. However, he loves Trump's "style" and now says that a president does not need to be a polished public speaker.

He studied and tried to have a firm grasp on what he was saying. He admitted mistakes, listened to his advisers, and educated himself.

That's difficult when your attention is that of "Hey, squirrel!"

But they still can't save him because he himself said today there would be nothing wrong even if he had said it.
