Your role is distinct and important but it’s not the same thing. Certainly the support you give your spouse helps him to have peace of mind while he does his. But being the spouse of a military person doesn’t qualify you to jump out of planes, drive a tank or answer a fire drill onboard ship.
Using this logic every wife that had a husband in special forces should be able to be in special forces too right?
she doesn’t deserve to be commander in chief of the most powerful country just because she likes to give tax dollars to people.
But that's the fact of the matter.
Have you ever heard of Congressmen who die and their wives take over...What is that?
Electoral nepotism.
I just think it is a weak argument to think she has not gained anything by being the First Lady
She gained something, I'm sure. But not enough.
I am sure she knows more than most regarding what was going on in the country.
She doesn't even know more than most about what's going on in the state she represents.
As for any accomplishments I think the “Children's Defense Fund” was a darn good thing!!!
As an American, I know that the vigorously anti-Second Amendment CDF is not a good thing at all.
Ask Hispanics regarding Tuition for low income families, so they could go to a college affordably.
I'm not sure what that has to do with Hillary Clinton. Low-cost college tuition was around well before she was attending her high-cost college.
Lets not loose our sensibility when we don't want to elect someone.
Fact: Hillary Clinton failed to pass the Washington DC bar, despite having an education most Americans only dream about.
Fact: Hillary Clinton was unemployed until her husband was elected Attorney General of Arkansas. Magically, two months later the Rose Law Firm hired the Attorney General's wife, despite her complete lack of experience in corporate law.
Fact: As soon as her husband was elected President, she quit her job. She attempted to alter America's entire health care system as head of an extremely secretive "task force." She failed miserably.
Fact: She was elected to the Senate because of her husband's enduring popularity in NY State.
It's a slap in the face to working American women to call that a resume.
So my doctor’s wife is just as ‘qualified’ to see me as the doctor? In that case, I should be filling prescriptions instead of filing tax returns. /s
Again not a supporter of Hillary...
The subject was her service or non-service due to being the First Lady in the White House.
As to her qualifications...sorry but according to the Constitution she does qualify, so do a lot of other Morons,
thats the problem...
Whether she or any of the rest of them will make a good one
well some people think Oprah would make a good one.
We are soooooo far from what America used to present as the Candidate for the highest office. I say we are playing American Idol with it now.
Ok, so now lets get silly....this is no way to have a discussion. I hate when it gets sarcastic, a good way to end a lovely conversation about things that matter.
Keep it real.
Who appointed you the posting police?
I wasn’t even posting to you.
apathy and socialists.
I wonder what the percentage of folks somehow on the dole?
How many sit around getting some govt. handout always wanting more instead of getting prepared for life on their own.
