Hillary Clinton's "experience"
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 01:46 PM by Upton
When the World Trade Center was attacked for the first time on Feb. 26, 1993, President Bill Clinton flew to New York to be briefed on the attack and the response by city, state and federal authorities. According to newly released White House calendars of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s time as first lady, Mrs. Clinton stayed behind in Washington to attend a photo shoot with Parade magazine and a performance of “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

Gregory B. Craig, who was a senior State Department official in the Clinton administration and is now a policy adviser to Mr. Obama, said Friday that the White House records showed that Mrs. Clinton was absent when critical foreign policy decisions were made and that her trips abroad were largely ceremonial.

“The fact is, and this was established by the White House schedules, that she did not attend N.S.C. meetings or routinely meet with the secretary of state or the national security adviser,” said Mr. Craig, a lawyer who represented Mr. Clinton in his 1998-99 impeachment and trial. “She did not routinely get briefed by the intelligence community, and there is no evidence that she participated or asserted herself in any of the crises that took place during the eight years of the Clinton presidency.”

...to do photo ops and go to a musical performance!

That counts, right?

3. K&R There is ALOT of vetting that needs to happen here for this candidate...
The M$M wasted weeks on a retired preacher and gave Clinton a free pass and free press. I suppose they will manufacture something quick so they don't have to report on all the inconsistencies related to her fabricated "experience". :eyes:

5. "and gave Clinton a free pass and free press" - exactly
While the MSM was trying to destroy Obama's campaign they were promoting Hillary.
