Former Presidents with less political experience than Barack Obama before entering office...
Abraham Lincoln
George Washington
Former Presidents with more experience include:
Richard Nixon
LBJ
Herbert Hoover
Warren G. Harding
James Buchanan
Franklin Pierce
Andrew Johnson
Jimmy Carter
John Quincy Adams
And other various bad Presidents.
Other people with more experience include:
Donald Rumsfeld
Dick Cheney
Condoleeza Rice
Karl Rove
My point being the experience isn't everything. Sometimes honesty, integrity and a willingness to work with others are important too. These are attributes missing from both Hillary Clinton and John McCain.
