Rubio Says He Has More Experience Than Obama Did

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said that he is more experienced than President Obama was when he started his presidential campaign, The Hill reports.

Said Rubio: “Well, I don’t think there is any doubt about that in terms of the years, but also what we did. I mean, he was, as I said, he was back bencher in the Illinois legislature; I was the speaker of the Florida house, the majority leader, the majority whip.”

He added: “I’ve been in the Senate now for 4-1/2 years. I’ll have been in the Senate for six years where I’ve spent a significant amount of time every day working on intelligence issues and also on foreign relations.”
