What has she accomplished in the 35 years to qualify her to be president of the U.S. and Commander in Chief of the U.S. Military?

Interesting isn't it? The media won't detail it either, imagine that.

I don't think "experience" really matters as much as people want it to (some of our best presidents, T. Roosevelt and Kennedy, didn't have much). Hillary's real political experience has been about the same as Obama's and neither have experience in an executive office (unless you count Hillary's disastrous handling of health care during Bill's presidency). If we're going to vote to have a first in history, I think having a woman president in America would be great but given the much more serious role racial politics have played in our history, a black president who can attain widespread support would be much better for the country. The best Hillary can hope for is winning over a slight majority of Democrats, being about as polarizing a figure for the democrats as Bush has for the Republicans. I also don't buy that "I can withstand attacks better because I've been criticized a lot" line-it just means you're less popular.

I have always been of the belief that there is no real experience to be President. This is because there really is no other job like it. Americans tend to favors governors first, House members second and Senators a dismal third. This of course doesn't bode well for Clinton, since being First Lady does not qualify as experience and her record as a Senator is dismal at best. In my opinion if you are looking for experienced candidates, Governors probably have the edge based on the fact that they have been chief executives in the past, albeit on a smaller scale.

Dick Morris said, and I quote," If you happen to see the Bill Clintons 5 minute TV ad for Hillary in which he introduces the commercial by saying that he wants to share some things we may not know about Hillary's background".............
"Beware."
He also goes on to say, and I will summarize:
Bill says in law school Hillary worked on legal services for the poor.
Fact: Hillary's main extracurricular work was helping the Black Panthers, on trial in Connecticut for torturing and killing a federal agent. She went to court every day trying to spot civil rights violations to develop an appeal.
Bill says: Hillary spent a year after graduation working on a children's rights project for poor kids.
Fact: Hillary interned with Bob Truehaft, the head of the California Communist Party. She met Bob when he represented the Black Panthers and traveled all the way to San Francisco to take an internship with him.
Bill says: Hillary could have written her own job ticket, but she turned down lucrative job offers.
Fact: Hillary flunked the DC bar exam, yes, flunked, it is a matter of record, and only passed the Arkansas bar. She had NO job offers in Ark., none. And only got hired at the University of Arkansas Law school at Fayetteville because Bill was already teaching there. She did not join the prestigious Rose Law Firm until Bill became Arkansas attorney General, and was made partner after Bill was elected Governor of Arkansas.
And the there is much more to be researched for the truth about Hillary's experience!

I cannot accept any claim she may make regarding her involvement in anything while she was First Lady unless we are permitted to see, read and question her about the 2600 or so documents that we are not being allow to see.
Mere experience is of little value. You can attend football games as a spectator for many years, that does not make you a good head coach. There is useful experience and not so useful experience. Unless America is permitted to review and properly evaluate her performance while in the White House, we must disregard it.
To those of you who are capable of independent thought, consider this. If those documents were to present her in a positive way do you suppose we would be forbidden from seeing them or they would have been printed, bound in leather jacket with gold leaf and freely distributed?
I rest my case.
Merry Christmas!

Dr. Mallikarjun: anything times 0 is 0. So that would mean she had just as much experience. Thanks for playing!
Honestly, we don't have an experienced and qualified candidate running this year it seems. I personally am going to have to decide between Obama or Paul. Both are pretty short on international experience, but they are a change of pace from the normal corporate candidates.

35? It seems to get longer every day. Let's see. She was Bill Clinton's wife when he was the President (and to hear her talk, you would think she had actually been the President). Then she thought it would be cool to be New York's junior senator. So she has about 7 years of junior senatorial experience, but she's not doing to much by way of that due to her campaign.
By my count, she has no executive experience.

She helped Bill get rid of many people who got in his way to the White House like Vince Foster. Does that count?

Well, she slept with a president for 8 years. (uh oh, does this mean Lewinski is gonna run too?)
She also got elected as a Senator. SHe's never done the job of senator though, because she spent the entire time campaigning for president.
Would you let your dentist's wife work on your teeth?
