44. Obama had a lot more qualifications, in addition to his Senate years.

Sanders certainly has more years in the Senate than Obama. But his Senate years were not the only thing on Obama's resume, as I point out above. Obama had governing experience and qualifications, unlike Trump, Carson and Fiorina.

Interesting how people who trash Hillary also tend to trash Obama.
