Following up on something I posted elsewhere, here's a tidbit I've figured out.
Republican rhetoric says Sarah Palin became more ready to lead this nation than Obama or Biden the first day she became a mayor. She has more executive experience they say.
The Vulcan in me has to therefore came up with this partial list of people who also had less experience than Palin when they came into either the office of president or vice president... Logic therefore dictates these people do not live up to the high Republican standards needed to be a president. One note, I am considering high-ranking generals (i.e. Washington). Was thinking of not including Secretaries of State, but reconsidered. Some on this list are of more import than others, obviously.
People not qualified to be president, according to the Republicans:
John Adams
James "Father of the Constitution" Madison
Millard Fillmore
Abraham Lincoln
Herbert Hoover
Harry Truman
John F. Kennedy
Lyndon B. Johnson
Richard M. Mixon
George H.W. Bush
