I´m not the first to say this, but experience should really be defined in terms of achievements, not time served.

Sarah Palin set herself hard and risky political goals. She succeeded, on her own, against strong opposition from the corrupt powers that be. That´s achievement.

I have yet to come across anyone who can tell me what Barack Obama has done with his time, except steer money towards his cronies. Sorry, but it is what it is.
