Hillary is bashing Obama for being inexperienced but what made her so qualified?

Question

She keeps saying we when speaking of Bill's years in the Whitehouse. She really has taken care of upstate New York. ( NOT!)

Answer 1

That has been my question all along. So she was a senator for a few years. How does that make her qualified? What were the people of NY thinking?? I hope the country as a whole has more sense....

Answer 2

She's been living and breathing politics since she shined like a star in college. She knows more about government and politics than Obama has forgotten. Before she ever met Bill Clinton she was serving on a federal committee for the benefit of children at the direct request of President Carter. Her career was taking off in Washington when she had to make the decision to marry Bill or continue on her own. She was neck deep in politics when Obama was in junior high. She's never been a typical politician's submissive wife.

For not helping the people of New York State, she found a way to take 67% of the vote in the midterms. And that included getting the Republican majority of votes from Upper New York State. She's done quite a bit for New York, and if I thought you really cared I'd list it out for you. But I've seen these type of slam questions too many times to think it's anything but a flame question or that you really care whether you're wrong or not.

Answer 3

Hillary and Obama don't have 5 minutes worth of experience at running anything between them. New Yorkers were really suckers when they looked at each other and nodded approvingly as Hillary declared she "was always a Yankees fan".

Answer 4

The implication is that her proximity to Bill Clinton's experiences make her experienced too. And at first I didn't buy it either. But she isn't making nearly as many inexperience related mistakes as Obama is. So maybe the implication was right.

Answer 5

I kind of think that not having experience as a washington insider is a plus for him. Hillary and the other canidates can spin it as they wish. But a canidate who hasn't pocketed a boat load of lobbiest money would have at least one advantage in this election.

Answer 6

well she could give him advice about how to handle adulterous spouses

Being married to Slick Willy only gave her experience as a spouse of the President and Republicans will bash her to death with that "experience" if she is chosen as the nominee, I wish she would forget the whole thing. I also think there are republicans lurking in the background like Gillespie and Rove who are already licking their lips in anticipation and have little droplets of saliva starting to form near the corners of their mouths.

Answer 7

Most of the candidates have NOT been in a leadership position (ie, like a governor). Being a senator or rep just means you're on a committee of 100 or 435..... it ain't leadership, no matter how you cut it.

Since they have no experience in a leadership position (ie, the buck stops here), they're not qualified. An no, just living in/married to the liar in chief does not count.

Answer 8

I like Hilary but I had hoped she would do away with the bashing thing... I can't stand listening to candidates who do that.

They never really tell you what they can do.. they just tell you what their opponent can't.

Grow up all of you. If you want to run a country, start by running your campaign.

Answer 9

Her magic wand made her qualified . Since when does Mrs Clinton ever say what she really means ? I don't believe a word she says . Obama will end up on her ticket . This is part of her show .

Answer 10

I still think Hillary thought she was President when Bill was, so I think she bossed him around. She doesn't have any experience other than lying!
