GOP flip-flops on value of presidential candidates’ experience

During the campaign of 2008, I heard many comments, from Fox News to Facebook, about the lack of experience of Barack Obama. He was a one-term senator who was not prepared for the presidency.

Now the GOP is going out of its way to find a candidate who has little or no experience. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz have the same level of experience as Obama. Where is the outrage, Republicans?

As for Donald Trump, Carly Fiorina and Ben Carson, can you really say their previous employment prepares them for dealing with foreign nations, a Congress that requires compromise and the numerous appointments and duties of the presidency?

Let’s hear from the GOP. Speak truth and let us know why their lack of experience is a problem.
