Why all this Worry about Experience

All the talk about experience in the presidential run has me wondering just what they mean. None of the candidates have been president so as I see it none of them has experience. When a job description in the newspaper asks that the applicant have experience they don't mean being married to someone that has done the job. I also don't think that means having a job that is really important but not quite the same thing. Lets face it the only people who have experience are the present and former presidents.
Instead of all the talk about experience I'd rather hear talk about vision, specific plans for IRS reform, saving Social Security and health care. How do they plan to wind down Iraq and rebuild America's standing in the world. What are their thoughts on the re-emergence if the Russian Bear. How are we going to deal with North Korea. What about the environment, global warming and Kyoto. How do they plan to help get like minded individuals elected into the Senate and House of Representatives because lets face it the 51% Senate and almost equally slim majority in the House just don't work. As long as a veto is sustainable or a filibuster unstoppable being president really is not that important.
For the last several presidents the margins in the Congress have meant that even though you are in the majority if you don't have the votes to stop a filibuster or over ride a veto. So the candidates for both sides need to be able to get Senators and Representatives voted in that are of their party and of the same mind set as the presidential candidate. The presidency really is just a bully pulpit that needs 60% majorities to get any of the bully ideas made into law. So lets hear less about experience and more about ideas and plans for the future.
