Is living in the White House between the ages of 45 and 53 count for foreign policy experience? Hillary: Kabuki Congressional junkets count for something.
Why does Hillary keep beating that same "experience" drum? It's a false note. She likes to claim that she is the candidate of experience, but in actuality Obama has MORE years of elected experience than she does. Being First Lady does not mean that you're experienced? Should Laura Bush run for office as well?
Is this what they taught her in Wessely College? I think not because
how insulting for feminists to have a woman running for President of the United States who's riding her husband's coattails. I'd love to have a woman president, but I want one who's running on her OWN platform, her OWN experience. Not the experience of her husband.
Most of the time, Barack Obama seems like he’s boxing in the wrong weight class. But Monday in Fort Dodge, Iowa, he delivered an unscripted jab that was a beaut.
However that is about to change both in Foreign and Domestic Policies. For example, on the Domestic side,
at a news conference, the Illinois senator was asked about Hillary Clinton’s attack on his qualifications.
Making an economic speech in Knoxville, Iowa, earlier that day, the New York senator had touted her own know-how, saying that "there is one job we can’t afford on-the-job training for — that’s the job of our next president." Her aides confirmed that she was referring to Obama.
Barack reminded the Empress that she has no cloth. It took him nine months, but he finally found the perfect pitch to make a trenchant point because when
Pressed to respond, Obama offered a zinger feathered with amused disdain: "My understanding was that she wasn’t Treasury secretary in the Clinton administration, so I don’t know exactly what experiences she’s claiming."
Everybody laughed, including Obama.
Obama’s one-liner and zinger were so effective because
evoked something that rubs some people the wrong way about Hillary. Getting ahead through connections is common in life. But Hillary cloaks her nepotism in feminism.
Others Agree that the Empress truly has no Cloth........
"She hasn’t accomplished anything on her own since getting admitted to Yale Law," wrote Joan Di Cola, a Boston lawyer, in a letter to The Wall Street Journal this week, adding: "She isn’t Dianne Feinstein, who spent years as mayor of San Francisco before becoming a senator, or Nancy Pelosi, who became Madam Speaker on the strength of her political abilities.
All Hillary is, is Mrs. Clinton. She became a partner at the Rose Law Firm because of that, senator of New York because of that, and (heaven help us) she could become president because of that."
Hillary is now up in arms because her
campaign in Iowa is in a panic. Obama has been closing the gap with women and her ginning up of gender has lost her male votes.
Speaking around Iowa this week, Obama made the point that his exotic upbringing, family in Kenya and years as an outsider allow him to see the world with more understanding, and helped form his judgment about resisting the Iraq war.
However
she brazenly borrowed Republican talking points, even though she accused John Edwards of "throwing mud" that was "right out of the Republican playbook."
Hillary Pounced:
"With all due respect," she told a crowd in Iowa. "I don’t think living in a foreign country between the ages of 6 and 10 is foreign policy experience."
Empress Hillary, Kabuki Congressional junkets is just that and it is no foreign policy experience because
"You get picked up at the airport by a state convoy and a security detail. They drive you over to the ambassador’s house and you get lunch. Then you go take a tour of some factory or some school. Children do a native dance."
Is living in the White House between the ages of 45 and 53 foreign policy experience? The Answer is resoundingly no.
