Experience has always been something associated with the presidency. We as a country have had very experienced individuals elected to the Presidency and on occasion we have also had those that lack "experience". In my opinion, no matter how much experience you say you have or what your credentials state, the Presidency is a position like no other in the country. Character and personal traits are taken more into consideration when judging how well a candidate is suited for the Presidency, as experience is a transparent benefit.
