'Experience and depth'

Karl Rove thinks Barack Obama is a great guy: charismatic, articulate, strong.

Only one little problem with Obama, according to The Architect.

"He's charismatic, he's articulate, he's a very strong figure on the national stage," White House political adviser Karl Rove told an Arkansas crowd. "But something tells me that people are going to say (they want) experience and depth. As a result it's going to be, 'Can he live up to the standards?"'

Experience and depth?

As compared to who, Karl? The current occupant of the White House, or somebody else?
