Carter, Reagan, Clinton and Bush II were all governors, and Bush I was Vice President. What executive experience did Obama have? None that I can see from the list provided above. NONE. He also, as I mentioned earlier, has had no private sector experience or had first hand experience as an employer. Pretty dicey place for on-the-job training. ?

As RC said, POTUS is a fairly unique job, and I'd dare say that there's NO relevant experience to truly prepare you for the position.
What his background DOES show is that he's an extremely intelligent guy with the capacity to take in a large amount of information and analyze it, and, even more importantly, it shows that he has the capacity to hire smart people to help him. To me, those are things that are much more important than any prior "executive" experience.
Also, if we want to be completely accurate here, it's not true to say he had "no private sector experience." He worked for a Chicago-area law firm for over 10 years.

What does this have to do with anything? Like RC said, I'm not exactly a fan of the President (although I didn't know I qualified as "hardcore," haha). If you want to argue the point, stick to the issue, don't try to bring up this other stuff to show some hidden bias.
