I don't recall people saying Dan Quayle was too inexperienced to be VP.
I do recall people saying he was a dumbass.

Eh... politics being what it is, and politicians being what they are... a gaffe is a gaffe except when it isn't, right?
Dan Quayle
James Danforth Quayle (born 4 February 1947) is a former United States Representative, Senator, the 44th Vice President of the United States (1989–1993), and a minor candidate for the 2000 Republican presidential nomination. After retiring from politics, he became the chairman of Cerberus Capital Management.
Although many of Quayle's remarks that were reported as gaffes can be verified, several others are difficult to verify. This is partly due to the echo chamber effect of writers who copy quotations from other writers without a direct citation. Adding to the problem, many quotations that were once attributed to Quayle (whether accurately or not) have since been attributed both privately and in print to Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Al Gore, and John Kerry. Even references from publishers that might normally be considered trustworthy have stumbled where Quayle quotations are involved.[1]

Everyone commits a gaffe from time to time.
And dumbasses like Quayle are gaffe factories.
I'll deal with relevance of the past in relation to that photo of Obama.
I find the past quite relevant to the character of the man. The famous choom gang photos are a sore spot with me, as Obama is yet another in the long line of folks who smoked pot in their youth, yet stubbornly stand in the way of others by keeping the weed illegal. His joke about Buzzfeed at the Correspondents Dinner kinda pissed me off...
Still, I also thought the unusual childhood geographic aspects of Indonesia and Hawaii to be a personal selling point, a strong difference from the old born and bred war horses that have dominated our national politics. Still do. I believe it gives him a different perspective, but most certainly not the treasonous one some on the right believe.
Bush...was a spoiled brat and a drunk. From an old Northeast Family with a reach back into politics for generations. I can't find much of anything in his youthful life that I consider a positive character attribute.
Both are men, human men, flawed as we are all. As to the logic, these soundbites are catchy, but insufficient.

racist
and that is what passes as republican logic?
1. There was nothing racist about Obama's realization that he was self conscious about his mixed race.
2. Nobody has said that every time you guys make fun of Obama that it is racism. When you make comments about his education (that it was affirmative action) it is racist. When you make comments about him not being a Christian...it is probably racist.
3. When you focus on his high school drug use it is equivalent to me making fun of Bush's drug use and alcohol abuse. Mitt's past that was even mentioned during the campaign was about Bain, being governor in Mass, the Olympics....far more current than high school.
4. Retardlicans brought Obama's pastor and church into the election debate. Now you whine because some democrat somewhere said something about the Mormon church? It was never a major issue in any discussion I heard.
5. Obama served part of one term in the senate? Oh, yeah....and 11 years in the Illinois legislature.
-- Quayle was accused of not having enough experience by republicans...like James Baker. Democrats just said he was too stupid. He was an early and male version of Sarah Palin.
6. Liberals didn't boycott Chick Fil A because of who the owner supported. Nobody cared that the owner gave money to Dobson. It was about Dan Cathy making very public statements condemning gays. If gays then want to boycott the chain...so what.
I never heard of a republican boycott of Progressive....but they are as free to their boycott as anyone is....but...Moveon.org is a socialist group? Proof positive that you guys are morons. You don't even know the difference between progressive and socialist.
