Who is Prepared to Be President?

I found this poll from Rasmussen Reports to be very interesting:

63% of voters believe that John McCain is prepared to be President of the United States.

44% believe that Barack Obama is prepared to be President of the United States.

50% believe Biden is prepared to be President of the United States.

33% believe Palin is prepared to be President of the United States.

The number that jumps out at me is Obama's, not Palins. He's the TOP of the ticket, yet not even half of voters believe he's ready for the job. Don't forget, voters have had plenty of time to get to know Obama and to get comfortable with him...and overwhelmingly, they are not comfortable with him.

Say what you want about Alaska, but there is no question that Palin has significant executive experience as a business owner, mayor, and governor.

Can we afford to have on the job training for the President of the United States? Seriously, how can we elect someone with ZERO real executive experience? Or does running a presidential campaign count? When that's the highlight of Obama's resume', there is a problem.
