Sic Semper Tyrannis

Oh John Kerry, how we've missed you.

Our favorite whipping boy from 2004 is back, this time playing the role of "elder statesman" in supporting Barack Obama's bid for the White House. Unfortunately, nonesense like this is not going to help Obama:

Barack Obama has more foreign policy experience than Ronald Reagan? Really? Reagan had been studying and speaking out about the threat of communism for thirty-some years before he was elected President. Also notice that Kerry failed to mention one important person, the GOP nominee: John McCain!

What possible metric is Kerry using to measure Obama's "foreign policy" experience? Number of votes on the floor of the US Senate? That's setting the experience bar pretty low.

Barack Obama has never served in the military. He was first elected to public office in 1996 and was elected to the US Senate in 2004. In those 11 years he has no major legislative achievements to speak of. I would call Obama an empty suit, but that would be an insult to the suit.

If John Kerry thinks the experience debate is a battleground that is favorable to Barack Obama, then bring it on.
