I'm still trying to figure out what in Clinton's "lifetime of experience" makes her more qualified! [View All]

Clinton can't even explain what in her "life time of experience" makes her more qualified than Obama to handle a foreign policy crisis.

Q: Senator, can you talk about one specific time when you've had to make that kind of 3 A.M., split-second decision based on foreign policy?

Clinton: Well, I was involved in a lot of the decisions that were made. But again, you're looking at it from the wrong perspective. I'm presenting – you know, no one who hasn't been president has ever done that. So, that's not the right question. The question is, what have you done over the course of a lifetime to equip you for that moment. Now, I think you'll be able to imagine many things Senator McCain will be able to say. He's never been the president, but he will put forth his lifetime of experience. I will put forth my lifetime of experience. Senator Obama will put forth the speech he made in 2002. And that's why national security is a critical issue for Democrats as we go into this primary; because everyone knows that John McCain will make this election about national security, that is a given. And it will be imperative that we have a nominee who is able to stand on that stage with Senator McCain, and I believe I am the person best able to do that. (CNN, 3/1/08)

Notice the rhetoric? She can't even answer the question. She responds: "But again, you're looking at it from the wrong perspective..." And then circles back with the same comment that prompted the question to begin with: "Now, I think you'll be able to imagine many things Senator McCain will be able to say. He's never been the president, but he will put forth his lifetime of experience. I will put forth my lifetime of experience. Senator Obama will put forth the speech he made in 2002."

Just like when Mark Penn, Howard Wolfson and Lee Feinstein couldn't answer the question.

I've seen at least three videos of her today repeating this same thing: "I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002..."

I think this clip might have even 5 different clips of recent interviews where she just keeps repeating this:

So, makes me wonder, what in her "life time of experience" makes her more qualified than Obama or McCain to handle a foreign policy crisis?
