For leadership, experience is the best teacher! We had economic prosperity and the world respected us during the Clinton administration. Ever since Bush took the office, we have lost millions of jobs, respect in the world, the economy is in danger of overheating amid rising inflationary pressure, and we are facing a record trade and budget deficit. Most folks hate Americans — I don’t know if you guys noticed that, but I visit foreign countries.

We need to regain what we have lost. Among presidential candidates, I really like Obama, Mike Huckabee, and Mitt Romney, but I wish they had some experience, especially in foreign affairs and economy. I believe that Clinton is the best and most experienced candidate among both Republican & Democrat fields. Experience does count in this troubling economy.
