The last sentence states the opposite of what you intend to convey. His statement was savvy not "quite an inexperienced statement". I agree he's a great candidate, so fix this up please 1  out of 2 found this valuable. Do you?

It's sarcasm. I'd like to get a consensus of whether it's appropriate or not. What do you think people? 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

.But they are running for president, and the presidency requires a different set of qualities. Presidents are buffeted by sycophancy, criticism and betrayal. They must improvise amid a thousand fluid crises. They're isolated and also exposed, puffed up on the outside and hollowed out within. With the presidency, character and self-knowledge matter more than even experience. There are reasons to think that, among Democrats, Obama is better prepared for this madness.
