Everyone keeps saying that Obama does not have enough "Foreign policy experience", to be President ![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
What experience, in foreign affairs did our last five presidents have before they took office?
Most of them were Governors - what "foreign expierence" did they have?
As I see it, possibly George Herbert Walker Bush had the most experience? And he wasn't all that great. Right? Wrong?
