OK Hillary fans. Let's talk "experience" to be a good President. |
|
Here's a story for you Hillary fans who assert "experience" but then say not a word about what it is. (????)
There was a guy a while back from Illinois like Sen. Obama. He served four terms in the state legislature like Sen. Obama. He served just one term in the US House, whereas Sen. Obama has served three years now in the US Senate. He was a lawyer like Sen. Obama. Much like Sen. Obama he was highly intelligent, and he earned a reputation as a great speaker like Sen. Obama. The man's name was Abraham Lincoln, and he went on to save the union and free the slaves as President, and has gone down in history as one of our greatest Presidents.
Now tell me, did Lincoln have enough "experience"?? Because by your standards I suppose not. And as to Hillary, just what makes her so much more "experienced" anyhow? Obama has served in government LONGER than Hillary. Is it her years as First Lady? Hm. Since when does the First Lady make a single executive decision?? Since when does she answer the red phone at 3am? So she went to some foreign countries as first lady and made some speeches. Well, Mr. Obama has LIVED in a foreign country and visited others. So tell me Hillary folks, just WHAT is her overarching experience advantage here??? That she has been in Washington longer? Hm, not a great resume as to that, considering how screwed up Washington is.
Please, Hillary folks, do respond. And kindly cite SPECIFICS.

1. I never bought the Hillary-has-more-experience claptrap. Kucinich, Biden, |
|
Richardson, and Dodd all have more experience than Hillary.

2. Her "experience" is comprised chiefly of being mired in scandal after scandal |

4. Hillary is falling back on the concept of experience to save her arse |
|
If she keeps saying she has more experience than obama and exp. is the most important attribute a candidate can have, then people just blindly will believe her. Whenever you hear any news segment about hillary, the word experience is mentioned at least 10 times. Even if she did have more TRUE exp. than obama, which she doesn't, then what would that really mean? Isn't being a president all about making choices? You don't need too much exp. to do that but what you do need is integrity which Hillary CLEARLY does not have.

6. If "experience" is everything, why does the Constitution prohibit more than 2 terms now? |
