Does it mean being a governor of a state with a proven track record of being in the executive branch?

I'm not sure that "experience" is something that really exists for a job that you can only hold one time for 8 years.

And I voted for Pres. Obama in 2008 when he had ZERO "experience" that qualified him to be President. Turns out that he wasn't that good at it after all in my opinion. lol

But it still didn't disqualify him in my mind from being President (or the minds of the majority).

I think we need a President with even LESS "experience" than even Obama.

There is NO "experience" for being President.
What we need is a LEADER with a focused vision and the courage to follow his vision. And he needs something else that Pres. Obama does not have: The ability to convince and sway votes in Congress (both Reagan and Clinton had that important gift...maybe from their own experience as governors?)
