2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Des Moines Register Endorses Clinton.... In Presidential Race [View all]lostnfound
(16,138 posts)18. That's really funny. Also, note the experience of Obama vs Bernie..
I honestly think Obama has been a great president, except for the economic centrism and being less than successful at ending Bush's wars. And I don't mean that as a slam; I mean it sincerely. Not perfect as a president, but he did a lot of great things (within the confines of what TPTB allowed at the time). He fulfilled his responsibilities with intelligence and grace, in spite of having less political experience.
Bernie is way more experienced than Obama was. He understands the politics of the Congress even though he doesn't play it. So if they are hinting that he's "entry-level", it's absurd.

Obama was not "entry level." The Register is referring to the likes of Trump, Carson and Fiorina.

Nope, you brought up Obama, insinuating that is who the "entry level" ramark was aimed at.
