Where and what is the 35 years experience Hillary claims to have on her political ads?

William, Having experience counts for nothing if their policies go against the very core of our Constitution. Clinton voted for the Patriot Act, for the war in Iraq, for more action against Iran etc. She wants bigger government, more taxes, more welfare programs.. How any American who values the foundation of our nation can vote for her or most of the other candidates is beyond me.

I find it so sad that so many Americans care so little for our Constitution accept when they can use it as a weapon and grab 15 minutes of fame.

Those who feel Obama is ready to lead your Nation need to look closer and truly assess his lack of experience. His lack of experience outshines every meager capability he possesses.

t seems that many Americans are finding that there are few Candidates capable of doing the job. In fact there are only three out of all contenders. And many won't vote for the Candidate that is the most experienced and qualified and who will best lead their Nation and it's people because they don't like HER last name, are consumed with unjustified hatred, and don't like her husband! Now that puts American Pride, Liberty, Loyalty, and Freedom on it's lowest level!

Clinton, Biden and Richardson are the only three who are qualified for the position. Like it or not. To vote otherwise you are not only putting Americans in Jeopardy but you are putting the World in Jeopardy as well!

So please take the high road for the good of all people and Nations and put your petty quibbles, quams, and grievances on the back burner. They do not deserve a place in a decision as important as electing a Leader. Your not voting for a Dancing With The Stars Celeb! Do the right thing for once. For all Nations and vote for Experience, Qualifications and Leadership Ability.

TO KAY FROM NOWHERE: Why don't you search the Web for the last Apology George Dubyah Bush gave anyone. I doubt we'll be hearing from you on that one!
Although he owes many people and nations too many to count or record!

I found Pres. Clinton's apology concerning Rwanda. Actually, I read the entire magazine article. Pres. Clinton and Hillary even told the State department employees who left Rwanda that they did a good job. How could the United States of America allow 800,000 plus people to be murdered and not intervene? Being that there is no statue of limitations on murder. Why not charge the Clinton administrators who were in positions to stop the genocide with crimes against humanity?

International experience is irrelevant since we should not be involved in most of the problems around the world. Why should the US be the one to go into Darfer or Rwanda ? Why should US tax payers foot the bill to intervene in these problems?

I can't believe that so many people in this country support foreign intervention and pre-empted military action. I guess those people have read a different Constitution than I did.

Haven't we seen what Nepotism has gotten us for the past 7 years ?
Nepotism does not = experience.
In a nation 300 million strong are we really suppose to believe that the person most capable of leading us just happens to be related to the last President ?
Are we really going to make this mistake, again ?

Please take out a history book and read about the causes that led to the American Revolution. We are a Democracy – Not a Monarchy ... lest we forget.

Supporting a candidate based on her sex is just as sexist as discounting her for that very reason. Being married to the President does not make one qualified to be the President. That was made clear in the 2002 Iraq War vote.

If nepotism gets Clinton the nomination I, for one will become an advocate for an Independent party run. I do not think I'm alone. For the first time in twenty years I'll vote against the Democratic party – if nepotism becomes the measure of the party.

Barack Obama for a better America. The time is Now.

It's time for America to Rise and Shine again.

Sorry! 8 years as first lady (elected to nothing) and many years as first lady in Arkansas (elected to nothing) does not count as experience. You were not elected to do anything, your husband was! His experience is his experience and not yours! Now I do concede 7 years experience as a US Senator! Now how does 7 years become 35 years experience? Sounds like fuzzy math! If you can't be honest with this question, can you be honesty with anything? As far as having control over policy, she wasn't elected to control anything. In fact the last time I looked her control over health care was failure! Prove yourself by releasing those records!

There were times I am sure that Hillary had some control over policy. We just don't know which policies they were or when they happened. Did she have access to classified material that related to foreign policy? I can't say because I don't know for sure. There is so much information going back and forth that hasn't been made clear.

Domestic policy, there I am sure that she had more imput on making. It was clear that she had some major role on the health care debate. I guess that many Democrats in Congress were willing to listen to everything when that was being done. They all had different views on what should be done. Hillary was trying to push one thing with out talking to the members of Congress to see what could get through.

You know what, I don't have a problem when a spouse occasionally consults his/her partner on daily issues, even work issues, as long as vows of silence on secret issues are not violated. I do have a real problem with someone who acts as if she were the one elected. No other job or employer would put up with this nonsense. No one elected her, no one cared about her thoughts on issues, and most importantly she was not accountable to the American people. When she claims she had access to sensitive information, that bothers me a great deal. The American people did not entrust this woman to do anything but to attend State functions, foreign and domestic. Please, no more of these self serving, egotistical, poll reading, immoral, lying, hypocrits. We need a new face in the WH to bring us together. This woman is not it!!!

as a state senator , most of the time Obama vote for "present".

as a senator, he missed almost the vote in senate.

do you believe he really want a change?

he just want to change his own positions.

from reading the comments here I see things haven't changed as much as I thought. still a lot of misogyny inbred in too many people.

DON'T BACK DOWN HILLARY WE GOT YOUR BACK

please save us from the misogynist fundamentalist apes that are currently running this once great country

we can be great again

takes a Clinton to repair the damage done by a george bush

More garbage – HRC is not experienced in being president.

HRC is experienced in spinning the truth for her own means

a vote for hillary is a vote for no future – Bill is gone folks get over it

does any one remeebr the shame they brough to the white house

how soon we forget

go away Hillary my boys chair is waiting for him

the middle class needs Barack Obama not HRC

Obama 08

Wow!! The hate radio koolaid drinkers flock to anything Clinton don't they It is going to be a rough 8 years for you folks but the hate radio jocks will be in nirvana spreading more distortions and rumors which you pavlov's dogs take as hard facts. Ignorance can be cured folks. Stupid on the other hand is incurable. Your move. Go Biden!!!!

Imagine another 4 years of Bush presidency, maybe only a litter smarter. That's what you will get if HRC gets elected. It is the character we have to watch out for.

Hillary ran the White House when hubby was in office. A least that is what everyone was saying then. But guess what, not now. These same people would have you believe she did nothing but plant flowers in the Rose Garden and have tea with the ladies. Hillary Clinton knew a great deal of what was going on in the government. Come on folks haven't you ever told your husbands or wives things you were not susposed too? Sure you have. She has meet more World Leaders then Obama could ever to hope to meet and also spent much time with their spouses. She know how the White House works for crying out loud. Come on get your head out of the sand or where ever you have it. Obama has only been in the senate for a couple of years. For crying out loud he wasn't even a Mayor of a little town. Nor has he even been a govenor. No experience what so ever. Come on folks look at the facts....

The stronger and longer its language, the less intelligent a comment usually is.

"Aware" is right, although I would promote Richardson– Hillary #1, Biden #2, Dodd #3, Richardson #4, Edwards #5, and Obama #6– and stress that even Obama has potential. Hillary will win, and the country will be better for it, but the whole Democratic field is good.

"Aware" is also correct about this– "The Republicans really only have McCain."

We should think more about the coming shape of Congress.

All the lady presidents who ever ruled other parts of the world did succeed. Just tell me one of them who failed. lets give ladies a chance, the world will be better off.

Stop all the hate and let us unite once and for all.
Elect the best qualified person and vote for HILLARY in 2008.

I voted for Hillary for U. S. Senate (twice!), but I've grown increasingly disappointed in her during the past few months of the Presidential campaign. I value "judgment " over "experience" when it comes to choosing a candidate, and I've come to the conclusion that Barack Obama wins that contest hands down. He's earned my vote!

Gobama, aren't you pitiful! With a 'go down' mentality like yours, lets hope you can't make it to the voting booth!

Reggie's right. It is illegal to receive classified info with no Security Clearance. Typical Clinton.

If Hillary wins the democratic ticket, I am seriously voting Republican for President. I am sick and tired of Bush-Clinton. People need to wake up and vote someone different. Don't let Bill or anyone else scare you into believing Hillary is the most experienced and most ready to be President. The only experience she has is wearing her last name. She's a joke. I beg people to trust something different, and let this country move forward with a new name.

Hillary have done a lot of work asa senator.

what about obama?

Obama sure does have a big ego. Every time he gets on a stage he swaggers up there. He swaggers and swaggers and swaggers. He acts as if the audience should be thankful that they are in his presence. I wonder who writes those eloquent speeches that he so eloquently delivers.

Please read the recent NYT article about Hillary's claimed experience. Her most famous experience is the failed health care reform. She can not exeute it! She did nothing in the 7-year senate except for voting for the Iraq war and again for the Iran resoluation only to find a couple of months later that Iran's nuke threat was overstated. She has been fooled by Bill for many years. She was fooled by Bush twice. Where are her judgment and experience? Experience of what?

VOTE HILLARY AND YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID ?

Please forgive my mistake. Please substitute the word "with" for the word "will". If you are a Clinton supporter, disregard this correction. I would not want you to become confused.

I say this will malice intended. Anyone who believes in Clinton is a completely mindless individual. Any argument to the contrary must be considered mindless as well.

"Go back to Arkansas and go cook in the kitchen where you belong!!! ..Shame on you Elise from Florida
Go Hillary! make us, american girls, proud!!!

Face it – Hillary is going to get the nomination and she'll go down in history as the BEST president of our time.
spdubois!

great!

If she was so intimitaely involved. Which I am not questioning that a spouse would be. Why isn't anyone questioning whether it is appropriate or not to have the spouse of a 2 term president be president. Especially when she has affirmed that her husband will be intimately involved in her presidence. If she is elected, would that just be a loop hole to get around presidential term limits?

spdubois... how many thmes can you decall this country being attacked since Sept. 9, 2001? You say look what Bush has done. What exactly have you done? Hillary, the best president of our time.....You must be off your meds.

Obama/Bush: Arrogant, charismatic, talk a good game, not out of the box but out of this world, untrustworthy egomaniacs. No change here!

I would rate the Dems – Hillary #1, Biden #2, Dodd #3, Edwards #4, Richarson #5 and Obama #6. The Republicans really only have McCain.

Are you sure about that? I thought not!

BARACK HUSSIEN OBAMA... THIS NAME INVOKING ONE OF OUR SO CALLED ENEMIES WILL NEVER BE SAID IN CONNECTION WITH THE OATH OF OFFICE. AMERICAN WILL NEVER ALLOW IT.... GET REAL PEOPLE...

Lord, folks, calm down !!! You'll have a heart attack and you're insurance won't pay. You're probably the same folks who voted for Bush !! Look what he's done !! He's a complete loser.

Face it – Hillary is going to get the nomination and she'll go down in history as the BEST president of our time.

One of the principles of the Art of the Big Lie is to repeat the same disinformation over and over again–anything you hear often enough must be true!

You were given classified documents although you had no security clearence?

Ummmmm isn't that illegal?

Vote for anyone but Barack Obama.

He is an empty suit for America! Did you read the ticker yesterday where he and his wife threaten not to run again!? That's the crock. IF OBAMA CARED ABOUT YOU, HE'D FIGHT TO THE END! LEARN FROM GREATS…they don't give up when the going gets tough.

Look at BHUTTO. She returned time and time again to fight for a purpose. Look at some of our tried and true Presidents. Even John Edwards, McCain, Biden and yes, the Clintons fight to the end…not for themselves (They all have it all) but for this country and its people.

Read the ticker article from yesterday and see what the Obamas are made of in the depth of themselves. They are not here for the long-haul. They want their fifteen minutes of fame. Then, they'll take their prize and go home "TO ANOTHER ORBIT FROM THE ORDINARY AMERICANS" as they themselves put it! READ IT.

And with your conscience in your hand, place a vote for a fake-Barack Obama. Live with your choice that you will thrust upon the rest of us–for, what? What has he done? What has he said he will do?

Obama has no plan. He is a FAKE. This is real. I will vote against Barack Obama at all costs. He is a dangerous risk for this country and you blinded people who are chasing his stardom, probably also watch Paris Hilton news–THOSE WHO ARE FAMOUS FOR NOTHING.

Let the man pay his dues before he runs our country. Hillary or John Edwards, Biden or Richardson. You have good choices. YOU OBAMA PEOPLE will have regrets the first time we are faced with a real issue in our country and the rest of us will pay for it.
GOD HELP US!

This article first states Hillary Clinton "did not have a security clearance during her husband’s administration". It then quotes Hillary as saying “I was briefed on a range of issues, often provided classified information". I think someone should open an investiagtion into who provided a person without a clearance classified information. She did not have a clearance or the need-to-know, two key requirements for providing classified information to anyone.

Hill has her notions of "experience". Unfortunately her notions are irrelevant as criteria for the job of president.

Her notion, fundamentally, is that she had direct access to the decision makers.

She's pretty impressed by that, but I hope other voters are as blase about it as I am.

Her recollection of her experience also seems to be a bit exaggerated. In this article, for example, she says “I was briefed on a range of issues, often provided classified information." How did that happen in her capacity as "honorary cabinet member" without even a security clearance??

As pointed out in the previous comment by julianbook, Hill's record speaks far more poignantly than her self-described experience. Observant voters should see that, and ignore the hype.

how much money Obama has given you to say such kind of words?

Obama is just eloquent , he didn' t do anything . how do american trust him?

Mrs. Clinton, with or without said experience, can run circles around the other viable candidates (except Biden but he's not viable at this point). She can, and has, run circles around Bill Clinton. I think her brain power is what makes many people not like her and call her a "man" and other things. I think all three top tier candidates would be good for the WH, but by far Mrs. Clinton is most up to the job, seems to me.

She added that “I believe that our government failed” in Rwanda when husband, then-President Bill Clinton, did not take her advice that the United States should intervene to try to stop genocide in that country in 1994.
Do not say i believe our government failed.Say we failed as the then USA leaders on RWANDA.

GO HOME HILARY!!!!! You and your husband are the worst people ever!!!! Because of your husband we had 9/11. Because of your husband, the USS Cole was BOMBED!!!! Because of your husband the Twin Towers were bombed the first time in 1993!!!! Go back to Arkansas and go cook in the kitchen where you belong!!! You do not deserve to be president of this country. Your husband ruined it when he was running and now this country will go down the tubes even more if you become president. You are both cheaters and liers. I am originally from New York and I have to tell you that the only way you became Senator for New York was because Rudy Guilliani got sick with prostate cancer, otherwise you would of never became senator for New York.

GO HOME HILARY!!! YOU DO NOT BELONG IN NEW YORK OR YOU CERTAINLY CAN NOT RUN THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!

Hillary is the ONLY First Lady with office in the WESTWING, that says a LOT the kind of participation she had during the presidency of her husband. In fact Hillary travelled overseas regularly as US Envoy when Madeline Albright was very busy handling problems with North Korea. Her exposure to leaders overseas representing the US will help her a lot once she's in the Whitehouse. Although a lot of people are downplaying Hillary's importance in her husband's administration, the fact cannot be ignored she was no ordinary first lady. Hillary has a CAREER of her own, she was totally independent from her husband,she's also a lawyer.

State Secretary Madeline Albright knew Hillary's participation in foreign policy. Do you think the President of Finland will talk to Hillary when she travelled overseas if all she can talk about is shopping or reading "My Pet Goat." ? Hillary also was praised by the PM in Ireland, her trip there change the country for the better. Of course a lot of you Clinton haters can't see that.

Hillary will be the next president of USA, support towards her continue to grow and and stronger. People are looking at issues, who can best deliver them, Hillary is ahead of any democratic candidates for nomination. people don't base their vote who are eloquent, who has a nice haircut, they FOCUS on ISSUES that affects their life directly or indirectly.

Please, tell me where to look for Pres. Clinton's apology concerning Rwanda? They (Mr. and Mrs. Clinton) did absolutely nothing.

Yes, Queen Hillary, we know. All your Washington experience taught you to follow the leader on the Patriot Act, Iraq war and subsequent funding, the Iran votes, warrantless wiretapping and domestic spying. You, your spineless Democrat colleagues – the Madam Speaker Pelosi and her hokey sidekick Senator Reid – along with the Republicans have failed to stand up to the Bush administration.

Sometimes you have to take a stand on what is right even when you don't have the votes. This is called principle. See Senator Russ Feingold from Wisconsin if you have any questions. He voted against the Patriot Act ( because he actullay read it), against the war, etc.

In case you haven't noticed, your overall approval rating as part of Congress is lower than Bush and Cheney's. That makes you complicit.

And, now we're supposed to trust you to change things in Washington? You are way too embedded in the Washington political machine, and like most career politicians, have compromised your core principles and sold your soul to the corporations to get where you are today.

You may have been a fine First Lady, but I shutter to think of you as the next President!

YOU PEOPLE OUGHT TO GET REAL URE LIVING IN A FANTASY WORLD IF U THINK OBAMA CAN STAND UP TO THE WASHINGTON SYSTEM,, UYES HE FRESH AN HONEST AS WE KNOW HIM AN YES HED LIKE CHANGE BUT THIS IS WASHINGTON U HAVE TO BE ONE OF THEM TO COMPETE HE HASNT A CHANCE..NOR WOULD I WANYT MY COUNTRY HINGING ON HIS NON EXPIERIENCE TO HANDLE THINGS THAT COME UP,, SADLY HES TOO WEAK JUST YET HELL BE A FORCE TO DEAL WITH IN THE FUTURE BUT HES A LONG WAY AWAY.. YEAH HE VOTED AGAINST THE WAR AN WITH THE INFO WE HAD WHICH WE NOW KNOW WAS WRONG HE SHOULD HAVE VOTED FOR IT.. SUPPOSE SADAM HAD WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTIONS WOULD HE HAVE LET IT GO AN WANT TO TRY A NEW APPROACH SORRY YES ALL WERE WRONG BUT AT THE TIME IT WAS THE RIGHT DESCION WITH THE INFO WE HAD ..HES JUST NOT CAPABLE OF MSAKING A TOUGH DECISION.. EDWARDS IS ANOTHER JOKE LIKE OBAMA HES A ONE TIME WONDER HE DID NOTHING AS A SENATOR AN I MEAN NOTHING HES A RICH LAWYER WHOSE BORED WITH HIS PROFESSION THATS WHY HE LOST LAST TIME HE HAS LIKE OBAMA NOTHING TO SHOW FOR HIS WORK BUT A PRETTY FACE.... SORRY I WANT SOMONE WHOSE GONNA MAKE A GOOD FAST DESION WITH MY LIFE NOT CALL OPRAH WINFREY FOR HER THOUGHTS ON THE SUBJECT........

She got confidential information? Did we elect her to do that? No one voted for Hillary so I am not sure why she should have been out there "making history".

I am sorry, those that voted for Bush voted for George, not Laura. Those that voted for Bush Sr did it for him, not Barbara. It was Bill Clinton elected, not Hillary. I do not think they come as 2 for 1 and that a spouse should have any authority to influence politics.

Do we have husbands and wives of CEO's, doctors or lawyers tell them how they should do their jobs? If so and the people listen, is that not a HUGE mistake that they take advice from unqualified people that were not chosen to do that job?

She just said she FAILED to influence him in Rwanda. She FAILED with universal health care. So what makes her think she can do any differently now that 50% of the country opposes her, when Bill Clinto had much higher approval ratings at the time?

If Hillary is elected, its going to be 4 years of bickering and dividing the country. She already admited that she views it that way when she looks at the Republicans as an "attack machine". We need a leader that can bring the country together after >15 years of seperation.

Can Edwards, Obama, McCain, Romney or Huckabee do it? I am not sure.... but I know that Hillary Clinton can not.

In a world which places so much emphasis on the dangers of radicals, evil doers and haters of freedom, we are in danger of overlooking as to what is needed in our country. The younger generation today seeks individuals that inspire them and brings them hope. But, these are the very words that one man spoke back in the year 2000, and we elected him. How irony it is that we rather listen to these false promises and use this to elect a leader. It is not hope and change that is required by us, but, power, respect and strength that is missing in our motherland. There is nothing that the human heart craves more deeply that the comfort of their land being safe from evildoers, but, yet we manage to let a new fresh fancy talk seduce us to vote wrong on this important election. These are the briars and the stubble, which threaten to infest our country, the "promising tongue" and not the "wisdom" that our Creator has given us. Hillary Clinton has that wisdom and with that wisdom she will be able to bring us forth out of these blunderous briars, and put us back to the respect and love that we terribly need to continue. We can then continue to invite all countries to have these freedoms that we take for granted at times. May our Lord give the people the wisdom to know what is right and what is wrong on this important decision that will decide our fate.

What experience! Just because u were married who lied to get to the whitehouse doesn't give u experience Hillary! Now they say Obama is too young , when Bill ran he was a year younger thatn Obama. Obama has gotten where he is now all on his own. Who Bill and Hillary to tell Obama or anyone else that they are not ready to lead this country.

well its said how all the news talks up Bhutto, one needs not to forgot she was kicked out of her country for coruption? I just found out Alaska is /was full of coruption? IOWA TOO IS I BET FULL OF IT? THE CLINTONS WHITE HOUSE WAS,Hillary's land swap was,is.....savings and loan was,......heck even Obama has his share of it.......former Alaska lawmaker was convicted on federal bribery charges.....two more former lawmakers have been found guilty of bribery related to VECO Corp.....Another former lawmaker awaits trial, and Sen. Ted Stevens and Rep. Don Young, are under investigation."We've got to make sure the rest of the United States doesn't believe the only thing going on in Alaska is FBI probes and corruption trials," ........WE /IOWA can help change the Government's reputation for graft and gluttony at the public trough.

so hillary was supposedly intimately involved, but she won't let her husband be... who was already president?

Hello Fellow Americans ................the following blog is brought to you by a legal American blogger and I approve this blogLets send a message this Jan. 08 that we will no longer stand for any senator being paid 1 million dollars for a six year termAnd then when they leave office they do not collect Social Security but there own type of plan that costs us Hundreds of Millions ,I read somewhere that Senator Byrd may collect to the tune of 7 million PLUS and his wife gets 2 Million?Iowa can make this work,Yes folks listen up,IOWA CAN MAKE THIS WORKall we need to do is get one person from every county to vote on this type of question for our platform sent on to the state convention.other state's will hear of this and also raise it in there own state,and before you know it ,it will be enacted upon1 Million Dollars times 100 senators? you do the Math?now lets add up the travel costs?not only cost of staffers in D C but also in 8 or 10 offices in there home states?and then this elite retirement plan they have?so for six years we spend nearly 1 BILLION DOLLARS for maybe 2 years of work (730 work days) and JUST how much of that will our grandkids pay?now lets add the house of reps pay in there also! And while were at it lets lower our states cost of government ?Now lets all pass the word about this "new form of government "to all the people we know ,like the tv tells us "you tell two friends and they each tell two friends and so on and so on"we are already asking our kids kids to foot the bill of some of our spending today after all "big government" should not mean big fat juicy paychecks !!!!America may become better and stronger for this anyway,with more people serving in government and not these 4 and 5 term folks ,we need fresh face's and new idea's .One other thing ,Please have a safe and Happy Holiday this year and try and buy American? I know its hard and all but have you ever thought about buying Used this year? sure it sounds cheap but think about it?American money spent IN American stores that stays in Americaand NOT money spent on new goods that will leave America

I don't care what this blow hard says, she does not deserve to be President, and Beltway Americans who gave Bush a second term, will see to it that she is denied. The woman is a phony! She thinks it is her inalienable right to be the next President simp,y because she may have helped her husband get elected in 1992 by lying when she said he was not a wife cheater. She looked at her marriage as a political convenience to get Bill elected so that after he was finished he would her her get her chance to serve as President. This is not about America; this is about Hillary Clinton's personal political ambition. She used New Yorkers to get into the Senate with promises that she chose New York over returning to Arkansas because she wanted to serve New York. Hell no! She wanted to USE New York! And that's exactly what she'll do if naive Americans let her do to them what she did to New Yorkers!

Does this mean that my 14 year old niece who has been the pasenger in a car a thousand times should be qualified to drive? Or that a scrub nurse who hands a surgeon instruments in the OR and sees the surgery being done is ready to do one herself/himself? Nice try, Hillary. But no thanks. We don't want to see the same mistakes over and over. Some fodder for thought for Hillary supporters – when you go on the blogs, do you see any other candidate mentioned as much as Hillary in the statement "Anyone but candidate X in '08"? Doesn't that tell you how intensely she is disliked? It is foodhardy to think she has any chance if she makes it to the general election. Be smart – if the Dems want to vote for their party's success in the general election , then nominate Barack Obama .

If the voters want experience in their future President on domestic issues and with a vast knowledge of foreign issues, then Joe Biden is that candidate. Biden also has a extra bonus for voters, he works well with others shown by his track record of leading and passing bi-partisan legislation. If voters want a candidate of change, then Biden again is that candidate, change is having a president who knows what he is doing and who doesn't have to rely on bad judgement calls by so called advisors who have their own hidden agendas, now that's change.

Hillary is a farce. Bill was elected promising universal health care. The Congress was democratic. Eighty percent of the public was behind it. The economy could easily support it. Yet her program was 1000% failure. She had another 6 years to try to revive it. Nothing happened. Can anybody actually be that incompetent? Let's hear the excuse for 8 years of failure on her supposed pet program – when her husband was the president no less. Now there's an election, she's promising you healthcare again just like Bill did – with an unworkable mandatory plan to force down people's throats – a windfall to the insurance lobbies that fund her. The theory is that if you can fool them once, you can always fool them. As Geffen says, "the Clintons lie with such ease, it's troubling". and the NY Times' William Safire called her a "congenital liar". Hillary flunked healthcare. She flunked Iraq. She flunked Iran. She even flunked the Washington bar exam twice, and is a serial failure as a housewife. That's her record – her so-called experience. What a hoax. She cannot even take care of her household, but wants to be your president, and leader of the free world. Would you bet on a horse that collapses every time it comes out of the gate? Would you get on a ship if the captain was the guy from the Titanic? The American people are not that stupid. I'd be willing to bet that both Hillary and Bill are on drugs right now. Bill is a security risk to the USA as he is susceptible to anything that comes along in a skirt. We need intelligent and honest leadership. Obama is a brilliant and visionary leader with a powerful brain. He graduated first in his class at Harvard. That's not easy. He's a uniter that gets all the difficult things right.

Mrs. Clinton may have been her husband's confidant and conscience, but that is a far cry from having actual hands-on experience, at anything except giving advice.

And as far as being a senator goes, senators only make laws and hold hearings. Senators do not draft or balance budgets, appoint judges or cabinet members, or oversee a state in times of emergency. Governors do. Senators Clinton, Obama, Edwards, Biden for the democrats, and McCain and Thompson for the republicans are not qualified to hold the highest office in the executive branch; they may, however, be experienced enough to be vice president.

The other current legislative branch candidates are from the House, and are even less qualified to run for the presidency than senators.

Guiliani has executive branch experience, but only as a mayor, and his record is incompetent at best, criminal at worst, except for the second week of September, 2001.

The last senator elected to the presidency was JFK, in 1960 – all presidents since have had direct executive branch experience; they have all been either governors or vice presidents.

History shows us that for the last 40+ years, senators who run for president are, in fact, losers. (Think Goldwater, Dole, Dukakis, Kerry.)

The only Governor running from the democratic party is Richardson, who has also been an ambassador to the UN and a Cabinet member. The other two governors, both running from the republican party, Huckabee and Romney, can't make those claims. It would seem that in terms of experience, Richardson by far has the most.

Richardson gets my vote.

obviously Hillary Clinton is most qualified candidate.

Obama is just eloquent ,he didn't have any credit to do anything.

Hillary's "experience" is the difference between actually doing it and mere voyeurism. Not even close.

Excuse me Hillary – it was MY Prime Minister – Tony Blair who brought about peace in Northern Ireland.

It wasn't you! Stop LYING to the American people.

My American sister will vote Obama.

Some first wives have considerably greater roles politically than others. Compare Eleanor Roosevelt to Jaqueline Kennedy. Now compare Hillary Clinton to Laura Bush. Some are activists, working to better the country. Others like to decorate.

JUDGEMENT is more important than the EXPERIENCE of being wiened and dined on taxpayers' money as a spoilt First Lady.

Vote OBAMA for goodness skae let's not blow it now!!!

PLEASE !!!

Isn't it funny how the others involved in the Northern Ireland Peace Accord have said that they didn't see very much of here and that she only there for meet and greets. Her diplomacy credentials are zero. The deceptions continue to spill from this inexperienced and morally defunct candidate. If she's ever our country's president we're all in a lot of trouble. There's no way she will be able to handle the reign of the executive branch much less handle them with grace, honor, and honesty.

I just don't get it. She didn't have a security clearance but she had access to classified information?
Honestly, if she was this involved, aren't there records somewhere? Can we please see them?

I am not a predisdent, but I did play one on TV.

One of the duties of the First Lady is as a General Goodwill Ambassador for the US. From Eleanor to Jackie to Hillary to Laura, who is to question that the experience of traveling abroad and meeting foreign dignitaries is not in itself as MUCH experience as Barack Obama had as a child? As to Obama's sexist remark about "hosting" tea parties – guess Mr. Obama isn't aware what goes on at "an all ladies event!!" Often the wives are the ones who are open to discussion about the real issues facing their countries AND HAVE THE EARS OF THEIR HUSBANDS!! BEHIND EVERY GREAT MAN IS A GREATER WOMAN....

The peace talks in Northern Ireland was between Catholic and Protestant WOMEN who were weary of the bloodshed and the anger. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/342931.stm

BBC News Thursday, May 13, 1999

"The First Lady also stressed America's continued support for Northern Ireland.

She said, "We will stand with you. We will stand with all who take risks for peace. We will stand with all who are interested in building opportunities and accepting responsibility for the future."

Mrs Clinton praised the First Minister of the Assembly in Northern Ireland David Trimble and Deputy First Minister Seamus Mallon, who both spoke at the event, and Northern Ireland Secretary Mo Mowlam, who sent her apologies for not attending, for their commitment to the peace process.

This was Mrs Clinton's fourth visit to Northern Ireland since her husband was elected US President.

Her speech at the women's conference underlined her continuing interest in the role that women are playing in the Northern Ireland peace process. She received two standing ovations, as she took the stage and when she finished speaking.

First Minister David Trimble praised Mrs Clinton and the Vital Voices project for helping provide resources and partnerships to further the role of women.

He said the "courage and commitment" of Northern Ireland women had done much to "maintain the fabric of civic society through the many dark days of the last 30 years."

Mrs Clinton flew to London to meet UK Prime Minister, Tony Blair's wife Cherie, and to attend a children's rights conference later on Thursday. "

***IF everyone would take a few minutes to actually GOOGLE for info, instead of sitting there whining that she hasn't done anything, you could actually learn something. Oh wait, you don't really want to know what she has accomplished because YOU already think you know everything about her supposedly NONexperience. (Geez NOW I know why we got stuck with another 4 yrs of the Shrub and you ninnies believed the SwiftBoat Ads and the smear campaign against McCain too )

Dear Mrs. Clinton (or a supporter),

If you are confindent about your claim, why don't you show us the documents that proves your "experience" in the White House? Why do you hide them if there is nothing to hide? I think it is to your advantage to prove it to the world that you indeed have the right expriece. I keep on wondering what you are hiding.....

Correct me if I am wrong.

Now we've got it straight. Sen. Hillary Clinton is a flip-flopping, record-sealing, war-in-Iran-voting, Social-Security-ducking, politically calculating, lobbyist-loving, polarizing and unelectable Democrat who acts like a Republican - and a Clinton.

If you had such experience in the white house then release those documents from your time there Hillary. Show us what you did. Other than be briefed like a first lady is when she travels.
You had DOD and CIA with you when you traveled because it is Mandatory that you do because you are the first lady. You didnt ask to be a part of it.

Seriously you have been nothing but a pander for votes since you realized you could do anything Bill could do. There is an obvious power hungry struggle that you cant let go of. Bill partied had a good time in the white house. He's happy he can let it go it seems. But he owes you BIG time doesn't he?!

Do you really think the republicans are just gonna unite behind you should god forbid you win the presidency. NO!!, they will waste 4 years of our governments time and money to ruin you. Will you really let yourself and the country be forced to go through that just so you can win??! you would woudnt you because that how hell bent you are to win.

I want a leader with character and integrity. Someone with real family values. someone that has the ability to unite this country more so than any other candidate out there.

I wont even say who because everyone knows who. And you obviously dont have to guess who so that means we all know the answer to the above question.

People just need to face the facts..Hillary is right, she has far more experience than ANYONE ELSE.

HILLARY '08

Hillary:

We don't believe you.

It is obvious as Hillary speaks to the nation that she is experienced, knowledgable and ready to be our President!

Hillary again can't state specific challenges she's met that show success, she can't name specific accomplishments that show leadership. And she can't point to examples of what qualifies her for President. Can anyone give a specific example of the "experience" to which she's referring here?
