In my career I have worked with many experienced people, as a matter of fact before I recommend someone for hire I need to see at least a modicum of expertise.

I have also seen a good number of these experienced and qualified individuals dismissed. Why, because after an extended period of time they have accomplished little or those activities where of little or no value.

A Production Supervisor for example received a salary from a former employer of mine for 12 months a few years back. During that year he was on; sick leave, vacation, disability leave and leave of absence for 50 weeks. I’m sure he added the time to his resume but what was the benefit of his experience to the company.

Jimmy Carter for example, with 4 years of experience as our President can list as his accomplishments: destroying our economy, loosing our respect around the world, giving a foothold to Islamic Radicals, empowering OPEC and giving away the Panama Canal (which many believe is now under Chinese control, swell).

The words “experience” and “change” have been more abused in this campaign than a Bill Clinton intern. Fact is neither communicates anything when used as a complete sentence.

Now 3 of the 4 presidential and vise presidential candidates may lay claim to accomplishments, some more than others and some better than others. But please Mr. Obama if the best you can come up with is voting present and spending most or your 1^st term in the Senate running a presidential campaign with 2500 mostly unpaid employees your missing the question, besides it’s only an accomplishment if you win, fat chance.

While we’re on the subject, don’t you think “presumptive nomine” is a little over the top as well?
