Obama and Hillary both point with pride to their tremendous experience to be President.  Hillary claims to be working in Government for more than 35 years.  While Obama has been in the State Senate and US Senate for more than 12.   Interestingly, neither of the Democratic Candidates have truly felt the impact of Government action, as is so often the case. 

Former Democractic Presidential Candidate, George McGovern, after losing the Presidential race in 72' went on to open a bed and breakfast in the Northeast.  The business was an unmitigated disaster.  In fact, it went bankrupt.   McGovern lamented after the fact, "I wish that during the years I was in public office I had this firsthand experience about the difficulties business people face every day. That knowledge would have made me a better Senator and a more understanding presidential contender."  I wish that was a requirement for every lawmaker.

Obama and Hillary have never truly felt the consequences of governmental action.  They've lived in the protective cocoon of governmental custody.  Nearly all of their adult lives, they've been drawing a governmental salary and all the perks, but never had to endure the personal lifestyle impact of harmful governmental actions.  For them, a new program or idea is nothing more than a piece of legislation and a press release.  The program may or may not work out.  New legislative programs rarely, if ever, actually impact on the daily lives of the creators.  But those same programs can create utter havoc in the lives of the businesses and taxpayers who must comply.  Just ask George McGovern.

While John McCain has also been an employee of the government for a long while, he has truly felt the impact of govenrment intervention.  Sitting in a Viet Cong Prison for three years gives you plenty of opportunity to understand how decisions made by those higher up can have a long term impact on your personal life.
