Pat Robertson calls Obama unqualified to be president?

[alp227]

Brian Tashman at Right Wing Watch blogs: "Pat Robertson Implies He Was Not Qualified To Be President":

On The 700 Club today, Pat Robertson said that executive experience in government is “the only qualification for running for president,” arguing that President Obama made “mistake after mistake after mistake” because he never had the experience of a mayor or a governor, saying, “we put somebody in charge of America with no experience, not wise.” But Obama was far from the only presidential candidate who never served a mayor or a governor; others include John McCain, Barry Goldwater and…Pat Robertson.

Robertson ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 1988, winning the Ames straw poll and coming in second place in the Iowa caucus. After Robertson dropped out, he founded the Christian Coalition, which became one of the principal forces in the Religious Right until he left in 2001.

12. Abraham Lincoln had no executive experience either...

... neither did JFK. Several presidents have had no executive experience other than being an officer in the armed forces and a few have no executive experience beyond the presidency of universities, either of which, I would argue, are so different in terms of both scope and actual authority from the presidency of the U.S. that they hardly qualify as "executive experience" that would necessarily have any real relevance.

14. Any black man would be unqualified to Pat

[Golden Raisin]

15. Unqualified primarily (no pun intended!)

because he's not white. I guess Obama's experience as a U.S. Senator is to be completely discounted.

16. Pat seems to have never read the Constitution

The only qualifications are, if I remember right, you have to be over 35 and a be born in the US.
