I agree that Sarah Palin shouldn't make it sound as if she has experience that she doesn't have. The question is, why would she think she has to do this when Obama has no real experience either.
I define padding as lying. I did not know that telling the truth is so nuanced.

Why would she think she has to tell the truth? What an interesting...and sad...comment. Your rationale for her lying is..."because Obama has no real experience it is okay for her to lie." Wow.
