We called it OJT

Mich erreicht eine E-Mail mit folgendem Text:

If I only had 143 days of experience, would you hire me to fix your car?
Would you hire me to run your company?
If I only had 143 days experience would you hire me to run the country?
Something America might want to think about. Just how much Senate experience does Barack Obama have in terms of actual work days? Not much. From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working (??). After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes ofAbraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days -- I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that. This isn't taking into account the days he has missed. In contrast, John McCain's 26 years in Congress, 22 years of military service including 1,966 days in captivity as a POW in Hanoi now seem more impressive than ever. At 71, John McCain may just be hitting hisstride. Think about IT!!! A great many people in this country have obviously gone stark raving mad!

Der letzte Satz ist gewiß richtig.

Der Mehrheit der Wähler wird Obamas mangelhafte Erfahrung aber wohl egal sein. Hillary Clinton hatte im Vorwahlkampf voll auf die Karte "experience/ready to lead from day one" gesetzt und ist damit Baden gegangen.
