The Experienced Hillary

I just love it when Hillary talks about her experience. Hillary's touting her foreign policy experience.
Clinton began the back-and-forth in a speech at a high school auditorium Thursday, warning the crowd of mostly women and students against thinking ``we don't need a president who is up to speed on foreign affairs and military matters.''

``That's the kind of logic that got us George Bush in the first place,'' she said to laughter. ``Experience in foreign affairs is critical for ending the war in Iraq, averting war in Iran, negotiating a Middle East peace and dealing with North Korea.''
Hillary is more experienced than Obama. But, does she several years experience or one year's experience several times? Obama always held the position on Iraq that Hillary now claims. Is she a slow learner or just keeping her finger in the wind?

Hillary is also bragging about her experience in fighting poverty.
"People talk about poverty in this campaign," Clinton said in Independence, Iowa, this afternoon. "Well, we lifted more people out of poverty during the 1990s than anytime in our history." - emphasis added
WE!? I don't remember Hillary holding any official office in the 1990s. Was Bill simply her puppet? John Edwards did more to fight poverty by raising the average income of barbers.

Indeed, Hillary has admitted that she is not experienced enough to deal with terrorist - "Responding to a questioner who asked whether she was capable of handling evil-doers like Osama bin Laden, Hillary Clinton grinned as she answered, 'What in my background equips me to deal with evil and bad men?'"

Hillary's strongest experience is in two areas - 1) Riding her husband's coattails while pretending to be an independent woman. 2) Being "some little woman 'standing by my man' like Tammy Wynette." The first necessitates the second.

Comments:
GW has a dad who spent 12 years in the White House. He also spent time as Governor of Texas. And we all know how long he's been President. I'd say he has more experience than Hillary.

Not too much of what she says holds water. Hmmm.... another no brainer slips in.

I am hopeful she won't make it. Bad side is, I don't see anyone at this time I can get behind from either party. Still thinking it through. It will be sad to have to vote for the least of the worst as my choice for President.
 
Comming in third should give 'er some religion eh?
