141. Throughout his tenure as AR Gov and POTUS
Edited on Sun Dec-07-08 04:42 PM by clear eye
Bill Clinton reiterated that the voters were getting "2 for 1" when they elected him because his wife was also extremely qualified and he would be regularly consulting with her. "During her post-graduate study, Rodham served as staff attorney for Edelman's newly founded Children's Defense Fund in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and as a consultant to the Carnegie Council on Children. During 1974 she was a member of the impeachment inquiry staff in Washington, D.C., advising the House Committee on the Judiciary during the Watergate scandal."--from her Wikipedia article.

She also spoke informally with the people who came to see Bill, went on fact-finding trips with him, and attended numerous dinners of state during which she'd converse, at least occasionally about current affairs, with the most powerful people in the world. "In 1997 and 1999, Clinton played a role in advocating for the establishment of the State Children's Health Insurance Program, the Adoption and Safe Families Act, and the Foster Care Independence Act."--also Wikipedia
The Wikipedia citations are all footnoted there, if you have any doubts.

The research Clinton did for the above-mentioned legislation is a completely different type of involvement than sitting on a few boards and occasionally fundraising for a couple of causes or a political campaign by phoning your wealthy friends. Doesn't take difficult research to find how she was in a whole different class when it comes to qualifications than Caroline Kennedy is.
