'Not Tall On Experience'

From Ruadhan Mac Cormaic at the Irish Times:
If Barack Obama doesn't win November's presidential election in the United States, "you can kiss the Democratic Party goodbye", the actor and director Robert Redford told an audience in Dublin last night. . . . Asked by Michael Dwyer, film correspondent of The Irish Times , if he was looking forward to "regime change" in the US, Redford said: "Yes. Where my country is at the moment, I'm not confident of anything. I'm hopeful.
"I think Obama is not tall on experience . . . but I believe he's a really good person. He's smart. And he does represent what the country needs most now, which is change. . . .

Well, give Redford credit for admitting that his guy is "not tall on experience" and let's remember that it's not enough to simply be "smart" and a "good person" to be the leader of the free world.

Yeah, but it shows when you're not that smart, and not such a great person. "The Shrub" proved that over and over.
