Who’s experienced?
I have noticed the word “experience” coming up in letters to the editor regarding President-elect Barack Obama. I would like to define the word.
According to Webster’s: 1. Practical knowledge gained by trial or practice. 2. Events one has lived through. 3. Skill gained by doing. 4. Have experience of 5. Practical knowledge.
How many of our former presidents have had or can say they had experience before being elected? How do you get experience? No one starts out knowing everything about anything.
