Roseanne Barr Has a blog on Huffington that was startling in its simplicity as it showcases Obama’s greatest weakness:  Experience.

Experience vs. Inspiration

When I fly in an airplane I want the pilot with the most experience, not the one who can inspire hope in me that I get to where I am going. When I pay my taxes, I want the person filing them to be experienced, not the new person who inspires hope in me that he can do the job. When I hire someone to fix my washing machine, I want the tried and true experienced person, not the one who inspires me to hope that he can fix it. When I go to the doctor I do not want to get the one who inspires hope in me that s/he can cure what’s wrong, but the one who knows what the hell to do the minute I call. It’s not really the job of a public servant to inspire, but to get the job that the people demand done. The democrats think that if they have hope and are inspired things will get better, but they actually won’t. When Oprah makes her employees sign her fifty page non-disclosure statement, she doesn’t “hope” they can’t break it, she pays teams of experienced lawyers to MAKE SURE they can’t break it, or be sued in an experienced court by an experienced judge.

She is right.  Inspiration is a fine thing, and so is an offering of hope, but neither of these can succeed without a leader who has the ability and experience to make the hope come to fruition.

Can Obama offer that?  It remains to be seen.   He has not been a leader for so long that his resume offers any comfort or assurance.

So in this case Roseanne has clearly shown the reality of Obama’s campaign.  Of course the fact she is an Edwards fan who went for Hillary, so that may be a sign of bias.

But as I perused her blog I was struck speechless by another blog about presidential issues…only this time I was aghast.  Not for all of it mind you, just some.

My Presidential Decrees

Triple teachers’ and policemen’s’ pay and raise the bar accordingly.

Establish a union of  the working poor with the Attorney General as their  lawyer.

Replace Organized Religion with strict observance and enforcement of the Golden Rule during my first administration.

 Sure.  No reason to follow the constitution.

Foreign policy statement: “Hey, how’s it  going? We’re your global neighbors. Here’s our number  if you need something.”

Uh, how is that different from now?

Back our currency with yummy baked  goods

Abolish the IRS

Well that might work….

Birth control in the water supply for the the first two years of my administration.

Sure, nothing American about population control…

All sewer and septic tank maintenance performed by convicted corporate criminals.

Yes that sounds awesome, but since there are all of a couple dozen that might make things slow.  This is typical hate the rich rhetoric.

All medical testing performed on child molesters and animal abusers.

Minimum weight for supermodels: 140 lbs

 Well, I will take her first entry, and take comfort that sometimes she has a little common sense…
