Obama, I knew Dan Quayle, and you're no Dan Quayle

Dan Quayle served two terms in the House, and was in his second term in the Senate when he was nominated to be Vice President. The press immediately declared he was too young and inexperienced for such an important job (a job that even Al Gore was able to handle!) The press had a field day every time Quayle made the smallest mistake, like when he said he had visited 57 of the 60 states, or the time when he acknowledged the fallen heroes that he saw in the audience for his memorial day speech. Oh, wait! No, it was Obama who made those gaffes. Obama, the man who has a grand total of three years of experience yet is declared by the media to be a 'rock star' of politics. Quayle was ridiculed for not correcting a spelling mistake made by someone else. There is no indication that he didn't know how many states are in the union or that a fallen hero is a dead one, but he was made a laughing stock while Obama is lauded as an eloquent speaker and a 'brilliant' politician. This would be yet another example of the bias of the media that liberals constantly refuse to admit exists.
