Obama takes a lot of punches on his experience, but ultimately, experience isn’t the most important aspect of a president. What a president lacks in experience, he can make up for with a strong cabinet, advisers, running mate, etc.

What sets Obama apart is he works well with Democrats. He works well with Republicans. He works well with Independents. He has a disdain and heavy criticism for the gaps and wounds in American politics, and brings people a sense of hope and unity.

The more that people can work together, the less important a president’s experience becomes. However, lets not forget that Obama has had an extensive education and some time in the legislative branch, so it’s not like he has little or none experience…just less than McCain and Clinton.
