BIRD, executive decisions are not limited to political office. I make executive decisions every day. I don't know what you do in your company, you might have to make some, too. An executive decision is when you have to make decisions that will affect people's lives that depend on your good judgment. Military men, have to do that. The point they are making is that being a Senator, especially a one year senator, doesn't put you in very many situations to make an executive decision. Neither does being a community organizer and neither does being a college professor.

Granted Palin's executive decision making didn't affect all that many people, because she was mayor of a small town and governor of a sparsely populated state. But her decisions were well received. She did lower taxes, she put more money into the pockets of the people she governed, she took on the special interest groups and shook up the corruption in Alaska. Whatever things she was doing improved their economy and the people liked it.

So by that definition anyone with a job has made executive decisions.Hey my warehouse guy decided to unload the orange truck first instead of the black one so he's qualified to be vp!By your logic Obama giving out grades as a professor is an exectutive decision.

In politics which is what we are talking about executive decisions can only be made by Mayors, Governors ,Presidents etc...Senators and Congressman by definition can not make executive decisions.You can't change the definition to suit your arguement.

I was watching a mccain spokesman being interviewed last night and she was touting how Palin has made all these executive decisions and Obama hasnt made any and the interviewer said well Mccain hasnt made any either and I shit you not the Mccain spokesman just shrugged her shoulders because its true.Nothing really wrong with it because who cares if Palin decided who to hire as trash commisioner but you cannot say Mccain has made an executive decision.

Some one will not be back coordinating the videos for the convention in 2012.

That seriously is some funny shit. You know good and well that the point was for him to be in front of Walter Reed Hospital. If they really want to fuck this up, one of them will come out and say that they meant for him to be in front of a public school and that Walter Reed was a military hero.....blah blah blah.

I'm not sure it was a great idea in the first place.

#1 Who the fuck knows what Walter Reid looks like?You could have told me that middle shool was Walter Reid Hospital and I would have believed you.

#2 Isnt the first thing you think about when you think of Walter reid is how bad it was for the soldiers as far as getting treatment at the beginning of this year and how Bush was basically embarrased into stepping and and getting it fixed?

Not sure everyone would have put that together but I know most people probably thought Mansion before Hospital.

I'm pretty sure that I have heard someone talking about "executive decisions" and they included "running a business". And no, that would not include a warehouse guy or a college professor. Surely you can see the difference. This term didn't start getting tossed around until McCain picked Palin and everyone started saying that she had no experience and the GOP coined the phrase "executive decision" to show that the decisions that a mayor or governor have to make are actually more difficult than the "group" decisions that senators and congressmen make.

This is all getting twisted up with the semantics. The point is, Obama has not done much to qualify him to be President other than making a few good speeches and taking the opposing view on the war on the outside chance that it might be an angle on running for President.

McCain has spent his "LONG" life serving his country. Both in fighting for it, suffering unselfishly for it, and then serving it.

Of the two, Obama is a better speaker. McCain has much more experience.

As for the two vice-presidental nominees. Palin worked her way up through politics from the ground up. She started with the PTA because she wanted to improve the schools for her children. Ran for mayor when she disagreed with how the town was run. Then ran for governor when she saw all of the corruption and mishandling of funds for the state. And she's hot as hell.

Biden is the poster boy of good old boy washington politics. He's never been able to get a campaign going because people don't like his style of politics. He's always been a party loyalist regardless of the issue. He is a career politician and is exactly what is wrong with Washington.

I still think the election is Obama's to lose though.

Yeah, I can hear the geeks in the video room now a couple of weeks before the convention.

Geek #1: "Fuck they said they wanted a picture of a military hospital. There is not one freaking picture of a military hospital on the web."

Geek #2: "What? Not even Walter Reed Hospital?"

Geek #1: "No. I found one of Walter Reed Middle School."

Geek #2: "Does it look like a hospital?"

Geek #1: "Um. I guess so. Its a big building"

Geek #2: "Fuck it, use that. Who is going to know what the fuck it is anyway."

In politics executive decisions or experience usually pertains to laws or hirings which I guess could be streched out to include business decisions.I don't buy it but I guess you can make that argument.I don't think being in the military is the same thing either because can't you be a captain as a cook in the military?If you really want to twist it deciding between making steak or veal is an executive decision.

when you type "Mccain executive decisions" in google you get the below link which is an article about Romney during the primary saying he and Guiliani are the only candidates with experience and he mentions how mccain doesnt have any.

http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/01/23/...4407.shtml


TAMPA, FLA. -- As Mitt Romney tries to distinguish himself in a crowded Republican field, his campaign has suggested time and again that John McCain lacks the real-world experience required to turn around the ailing economy. Romney himself is delivering his anti-McCain message in a more understated way — by contrasting his experience as a businessman and governor with McCain’s years in the Senate.

“You have that executive leadership where you learn how to pull together a team of people to listen to different ideas, to establish a course of action, to hire the people to carry out that course of action, to get budgets for it,” Romney said at a press conference. “ … that’s what my life’s been about - executive leadership. And there are others whose experience has been very different.”

Romney cited Mayor Giuliani as another GOP candidate who has had that kind of experience. Asked whether McCain lacked adequate knowledge about the economy, Romney would not answer directly. But he turned to presidential electoral history to further his point.

“I’d note that in the past, there have been big contests for the presidency between senators and governors, and senators talk about all the years of knowledge they’ve gathered by learning about topics in the Senate, and governors talk about actually having had executive leadership and having made decisions that make a difference,” Romney said. “And Americans typically side with the latter, recognizing that we don’t know what the problems are going to be that are most acute in the next eight years.”



This is a losing argument for Mccain.
