I think a president should have a bit of experience of how politics works in practice, but Obama has had an political office since 1996.
12 years are enough to learn how politics works. I wouldn't elected someone as president without poltical experience.

The other area of expertise that would be nice to have for a president is a leadership role in an organisation where the person made a lot personal management (CEO of a company, goverour or some minister).
A lot of being a good president means choosing the right person for the right job.
Neither Hillary, McCain nor Obama have real experience in that department.
Hillary might got a bit of experince in that area as first lady, but it's pretty intransparent to the outside who actually makes decisions in an admistration and how much of the decisions of her man were actually her decisions.

Most other skills can be delegated.
