Clinton on Experience

Clinton is as slick a politician as they come ..and if that's what you want, yet again, a slick politician that hits all the talking points they think you want to hear...by all means vote for Hillary. But when she speaks of experience, try not to forget that she not only voted for it but supported the Iraq war long into its occupation, changing her tune when the polls were so overwhelmingly against it. The fact that she is Bill's wife is why she is polling so highly .. as Hillary Brown/Smith/whatever, she'd be nowhere. But since she is playing the 'Bill' card so often, remember that Bill gave us NAFTA and the disgraceful do-nothing in Rwanda that allowed the kind of genocide she claims she cares about now in Darfur. (Perhaps Madelaine Albright should be reminded of HER experience there too!) Experience? hmm...3 counts where it didn't exactly support her claim to good leadership. And all that so-called leadership lead to nothing but a laughing-stock catastrophe when she tried her version of Health Care during the Clinton years. Failure is a leadership quality now, huh? hmmm....ok.

You can follow the spin..listen to the pundits and be fooled again..and again. If people haven't learned anything at all from the lying spin of the Bush administration and the media that was all too happy to help it along, fall for it again. Just don't complain about different party, same old manure.

Obama has an ability to bring people together to solve the extreme challenges we face in this country and the world. He has the integrity, judgement, and commitment to improving the lives of all people everywhere that places him in the same league as the greatest leaders we've ever known. Anyone who tries to claim differently simply has not taken the time to inform themselves. If you care at all about your future and your children's future, you'd take the time.

So can I ask a question?
How much experience does one get from being first lady? People and HRC’s campaign keep saying she has 35 years of experience. As first lady of Arkansas and the U.S, all I know they do is greet visitors and decorate the white house for christmas, make speeches and make public appearances and travel overseas to seem diplomatic.
She hasn’t spent that much time in the senate. Wow… such hardcore experience. I’ll throw my support behnid the candidate who worked helping disadvantaged Americans on the ground directly, who did civil rights law, who taught constitutional law and who strongly believe in turning the page. This is what america needs, not superficial and artificially inflated experience which basically draws on the substanceless status quo if the establishment that invaded Iraq, did not catch Osama Bin Laden when Clinton had the chance to, did nothing about Rwanda, created a Nafta that secured Canadian and Mexican jobs more than it did American jobs and opportunities.
Being a ceremonial figure in the white house doesn’t give you the experience you need. Avoiding specifics and hiding behind semantics doesn’t give you the credibility you need. Thats what Mrs. Clinton has done.
I think people need to re-evaluate the so call experience of Sen. Clinton when compared to Obama’s.
The Audacity of CNN’s clinton’s supposed inevitability is no matah against the Audacity of Hope.

Obama 08...

Obama is a master politician, I swear, I love this dude... He shows he can relax and have fun, and he picked the perfect song to give it an undercurrent of meaning about the charged times we live in.

If you know the lyrics to the entire song, it's quite beautiful, about sacrifice and longing for a more beautiful life. Good choice.

As a risk taker, Obama is the man, and time after time his personality, smarts and passion come through where others look stale.

Obama 08!

I would never vote for Obama,Hillary,Romney,Guiliani, or the rest of the corporate mainstream media candidates. This is not a democracy, this is a shell game. Ron Paul all the way in 08'.

Read my post again and see if you can get the sarcasm THIS time.
You MUST be a republican.

What? They LOVE him. In any other nation, he'd never have made it this far with NO experience and such naivete.

If he were a Republican, the dolts at CNN would have nailed him like they do GOPers.

I want to vomit.

How can someone who has written TWO books about themselves, and who began running for President right after being sworn in as a Senator be characterized as, "humble"?

Humble folk don't tend run think they can be, or try to run for President.

The MSM is way too hard on Barack.
