Regardless of her views on healthcare, Senator Clinton brings with her an experienced team of advisers,?

Question

cabinet members, and a close personal adviser who served as president. No other candidate on either side offers that.
At this time in our history, is that type of experience more important than Senator Clinton's personal agenda? Can we really afford a State Dept or a Defense Dept that will require on the job training? Does our need for an experienced foreign policy team outweigh social issues at the moment?
Your thoughts?

Answer 1

I hear what you are saying, and I can not argue with it. But, I am old enough to remember WELL the whole White Water scandal which occurred during Bill's administration, and her part in it. I simply cannot get past the fact that she committed criminal acts, lied about doing so, and convinced business partners to take the blame for her with the promise of a quick pardon from her husband, the future president.

I also have issues with the fact that during the entire 9/11 situation she was nowhere to be seen. After all, she is a governor of NY, why wasn't she in there acting on behalf of her "people"?

Well, there is my two cents worth, thanks for letting me get it in.

Answer 2

People do not elect a potential cabinet and advisers, they elect candidates. Any president has the potential to appoint those same people she might bring with her. She would be the one with the power and she is the one who needs to have the positions on issues, not the cabinet. I'm a democrat, yet I still believe the argument you are making is a silly one.

Answer 3

i imagine that individuals basically have an exceedingly short memory. i somewhat comprehend that she has finished some good issues on capital hill, although with the aid of elections, this if forgotten. She has continuously been a stanch supporter of well being look after all contained in the U. S.. regrettably i imagine this is a huge uphill conflict, drug businesses run well being care, and as long as they don't bypass legislations proscribing lobbing by ability of the drug businesses, greed will win each and anytime over well being care

Answer 4

I don't vote for advisers, I vote for a President.

And quite frankly a woman who has never run ANYTHING, doesn't have the experience.

She doesn't even run her own stock portfolio (or so she claimed when it was pointed out that it was breaking laws)

She doesn't even have senatorial experience, because she's spent her entire time as a senator campaigning for the presidency.

Answer 5

She brings a tough stance on fragile issues, she brings knowledge and the ability to find solutions to problems with her experience and the experience of the people she works with. Just having Bill as an adviser is in itself a huge advantage that any president would love to have. Of all the candidates she is the one with the most qualifications to be president. I just wish people would see and recognize that fact instead of jumping in the ban wagon of prejudicial thoughts or attack her on records she voted for. I d rather have a president that vote strongly on issues rather than one that doesn't vote, cry about legislation but doesn't do anything about it or worst one that vote one way, change its vote but refuses to admit having made a mistake. Hillary changes her mind but admits when she thinks she made a mistake others simply don't and make excuses.
PS: all those talking about white water ... do you really think ALL our presidents have been clean ? AHAHA what a bunch of naive you make ... the only reason we heard about white water was because of the conspiracy that the Republicans put in place to take down Clinton and his successfully presidency. Jealousy leads to everything.

Answer 6

So if Obama or Edwards or Romney or Guliani get elected, you think they are going to put ads in the washington post and hire a bunch of college grads?
What makes you think that only Hillary can find experienced people for her staff?

Answer 7

Didn't George Bush the Elder run on the "experience counts" platform...?

Didn't George Bush the Younger tout one of the most experienced, well-educated teams as his supporting cast....including DC-lifers like Cheney and Rummy?

Experience counts....but for what?

Answer 8

If her advisers are so experienced, one of them needs to run. We elect a President, not advisers, and not a cabinet.

Answer 9

Experience is over-rated. Bush's advisors had 30-40 years experience. Most had been in Washington since Nixon. Look how horrible their ideas have been.

Answer 10

You must be joking. Experienced team of mudslinging jackholes, you mean. My gods, man, she wants to be the PRESIDENT. If you're already dubious about her personal agenda, why oh why would you vote for her?!
