The point is that "experience" in government is irrelevant for either position. Nobody has been president before so unless you've been VP(and even then you aren't making decisions, at best you are an adviser) the idea that experience in government is some marker for future performance is stupid.
You are comparing two different time lines. You can't compare Palin's future experience to Obama's current experience.
