Hillary Clinton puts her experience first
International Herald Tribune ^ | Dec 25, 2007 | Patrick Healy

Posted on 12/25/2007 3:02:59 PM PST by Jet Jaguar

As first lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton jawboned the president of Uzbekistan to leave his car and shake hands with people. She argued with the Czech prime minister about democracy. She cajoled Catholic and Protestant women to talk to one another in Northern Ireland. She traveled to 79 countries in total, little of it leisure; one meeting with mutilated Rwandan refugees so unsettled her that she threw up afterward.

But during those two terms in the White House, Clinton did not hold a security clearance. She did not attend National Security Council meetings. She was not given a copy of the president's daily intelligence briefing. She did not assert herself on the crises in Somalia, Haiti or Rwanda. And during one of President Bill Clinton's major tests on terrorism, whether to bomb Afghanistan and Sudan in 1998, Clinton was barely speaking to her husband, let alone advising him, as the Lewinsky scandal dragged on.

The feeling was mutual I'm sure.

Oh, wow. She jawboned, she argued, she traveled.

Color me impressed.

Not.

little of it leisure

an euphemism for chaperoning Bill

His trip to India where he was greeted by dancing virgins couldn't have been leisure for her.

Did this conversation take place while they were baking cookies?

Out of a vague sense of GUILT.

I wonder of La Belle Clinton has elected office confused with primogeniturial monarchy ascension?

She seems to think she has unmitigated global rights representing the people of the United States of America.

Which she never had and hopefully will never have in the future.

"I'm not sitting here as some little woman 'standing by my man' like Tammy Wynette"....

I think Tammy would have gotten a clue after the first 6 dozen bimbo eruptions.

Yes, and I might add that it was done at the expense of the American taxpayers!!

I remember seeing pictures of the 'First traitors' whooping it up in several countries. The only 'business' they were on was to allow the world to see hizzonor in the flesh as he campaigned for a future office in the new world government (NWO).

It is near-suicidal for a woman with NO experience to keep touting her "experience".

What can she, and her advisers, be thinking?

I only meant to suggest that all guilt is rather vague to her.

She didn’t even have two terms in the White House. That was Bill. She was just a first lady talking about national healthcare and how she wasn’t responsible for every under-capitalized business that couldn’t afford to pay for their employees health insurance.

Hillary has NO EXPERIENCE!

LOL! That's what I thought too.

IF they were so concerned, why didn't the skank's husband do something to stop the slaughter! They just looked the other way. Where those two are going shortly will be a place where the the "global warming" will be hot as Hell. :o)
