No one is saying he has experience being president. The argument is experience as a politician and Congressman. John McCain, since 1982 two terms as a Representative in Congress, 4 terms as a Senator in Congress Barack Obama, since 2004 one term as Senator in Congress Experience is everything - how to get things done. I actually believe McCain has a position that he will stand on if he is elected President. I doubt Obama will be so strong in the office, relying on what his advisors say is popular rather than what he truly believes.
