Reply #90: What experience? Being First Lady for eight years?

[expatriate]

Giving tea parties at the White House, being sent on high profile photo ops hither and yon, utterly failing at coming up with a health care plan that would be acceptable? Oh yes, and being Senator of New York for a while - a state she'd never lived in or had any real connection to, but one she could be fairly sure of winning. Claiming that she had no interest in running for President, that she wanted to "help" New York. Never wanted to run for President, oh no.

Let's get real about Hillary. Her "experience" is pretty nebulous. I am well acquainted with many people in state government in Arkansas who knew these people well, and she has been in competition with Bill ever since they met. She has an enormous desire to best him at everything. It is not a marriage made in heaven, never has been. As a matter of fact, they despise each other. She vetted his girlfriends, for God's sake and then played the little injured wifey with trembling lip and great dignity, standing by her man for all to see. Let's stop acting like these people are some kind of plaster cast saints.

She's a dinosaur. She doesn't have the sense to realise that in these times, when you lie about "dodging sniper fire" or "brokering peace in Northern Ireland", people are able to get to a computer and find out that you're a lying charlatan within seconds. They no longer have to drag off to the library, go through mountains of microfiche to find out that you're an outrageous liar who will say anything to make yourself sound great. What is worse, after the first such incident during her campaign, damn but if she didn't do it again. America does not need any more Presidents who don't learn, and who think that they can just lie and lie and lie without any repercussions. Those days are over, because the truth is out there, available to anyone who knows how to effectively search "da internets".

Hillary exhibits a sense of entitlement a mile high - and what do you want to bet in a few years Chelsea will be angling for public office too. After all, she had all that great experience of being ...the President's kid. Oh, and dodging sniper fire. Yeah, there was sniper fire somewhere, wasn't there? Oh, yes, - I misspoke.

Gimme a break. Hillary needs to be Senator and help New York some more and then goddamn retire. God knows she's retirement age and it ain't like she needs the money.
