A Rookie President

By Thomas Sowell

"Someone once said that, for every rookie you have on your starting team in the National Football League, you will lose a game. Somewhere, at some time during the season, a rookie will make a mistake that will cost you a game.


We now have a rookie President of the United States and, in the dangerous world we live in, with terrorist nations going nuclear, just one rookie mistake can bring disaster down on this generation and generations yet to come."

What a vague and lazy argument. No specifics, no suggestion the President is actually going to do anything wrong. Just vague fear, uncertainty, doubt over his 'lack of experience'.

Rather begs the question, doesn't it? With the exception of second-term presidents, who ISN'T a "rookie president"?
