Barack Obama has been catching a lot a flack on his "lack of experience"--especially from the Clintons. Bill was interviewed by Charlie Rose where he called Barack a "risk" due to his lack of experience. In response to the Clintons' criticism, Senator Obama quoted the former President himself from the 1992 presidential debate. I must say former President Clinton was correct in 1992, and his words still hold true in context of Senator Barack Obama today. Here's Bill in his own words today. Below is how ABC reported Obama's response.

On Bill Clinton’s Charlie Rose interview: Obama was asked to respond to Bill Clinton’s interview last night on Charlie Rose in which he attacked Obama’s experience level, asking when was the last time we elected a president with only a year of service in the Senate.
Obama turned Bill Clinton’s own words around on him: “Well look, this is an argument they have been making during the duration of this campaign, I guess. Here is a quote: ‘The same old experience isn't relevant. You can have right kind of experience or the wrong kind of experience, and mine is rooted in the real lives of real people and it will bring real results if we have the courage to change’ -- and that was Bill Clinton in 1992. And I’ve been involved in government for over a decade, so the notion that there is a particular kind of experience that he has had or his wife has had that is more relevant I would dispute.”
