Carly Fiorina On Iran Deal, President Obama and Hillary Clinton
Hugh Hewitt Show ^ | 4/7/15 | Hugh Hewitt

Posted on 04/07/2015 7:20:49 PM PDT by BigEdLB

HH: Carly Fiorina, what do you make of that dismissiveness of Governor Walker’s critique of the Iran deal?

CF: Well, you see, this is what President Obama always does. If you disagree with him, you must be either stupid or venal or you have bad motivation, because clearly if you were an intelligent person who is motivated by good character and care for the nation, you would agree with President Obama. He does this all the time. Scott Walker just happened to be in his crosshairs this time. But he dismisses anyone who disagrees with him. That is his tactic.

If she couldn’t win a Senate seat against arguably the most leftist and dumbest Democrat, how the Hell can she win the Presidency?

Why is this woman getting so much attention?

And she is a “Pro-Choice” RINO. She should go run in the Democrat primaries.

Why is GOPe/Salem pushing her so hard?

She’s on Hewitt or Medved all the time.

The woman who single-handedly reduced Hewlett Packard from a once well respected Computer Hardware, Software & Consulting company to a pile of rubble costing thousands of people their livelihood's should NEVER even be allowed in Washington DC.

I was a large HP Customer between 1993 and 2003 and won their Technical Excellence award in 2002. We were their first customer to deploy their HP XP/512 Storage Array connecting multiple mainframes and open systems to the same array. I even worked with their offshore folks to fix a number of bugs in their microcode specific to mainframe disk addressing.

So HP had a very large customer conference in Chicago in 2002 where I was supposed to receive the Bravo Award. I refused to have my picture taken with Carly Fiorina. The team that I directed had their picture taken with her, but me, nope. Refused.

Still stand by that decision and that woman should NEVER be allowed to run anything ever again.

The one thing Fiorina is really good at, is failing up.

She built a career on it. She fails, gets a big golden parachute, moves up the ladder in her next role and repeats the process.

You didn’t think of doing the captured symbol thing with your fingers that one soldier did when he took a pic with Hillary?

A very long story, short. She should save her money.

Carly Fiorina has much bad history (I was an original member of the "Dump Carly!" movement), and I don't know her past history, but she is pro-life, in the majority of her views, now.

Source: This quickly looked-up website.

For this I commend her. I wish she would stick to helping the pro-life cause, perhaps behind the scenes, and not in a "run the organization" kind of way.

She has got a lot of failure in her resume...

1972-76: BA in philosophy and Medieval History...like most tech folks, ahem...
Worked at a hair salon during the summers... like most tech folks...
1976: UCLA Law School... dropped out after one semester... and worked as a receptionist... like most tech folks...
1977: Went to Italy to teach English... like most tech folks...
1978-1980: MBA, U Maryland...

1980: joined AT&T in 1980 as a management trainee...
1985: marries an AT&T exec...
1995, Fiorina led corporate operations for the spinoff from AT&T of Lucent... imagine that.

Strong proponent of expanding the H1B visa program... like most US tech folks?!?!?!?

In 2008, InfoWorld declared her tenure as CEO of HP to be to be the the 6th worst tech flop of all-time
She has been named the worst tech CEO of all-time several times...
She worked on John McCain's failed presidential campaign...
She lost an election to Barbara Boxer...
She ran a campaign ad about Republican rival Tom Campbell featuring a "demon sheep", which generated international scorn...
She has failed to vote in most elections, and openly admits it, with no excuses...

(However, it should be noted: she is pro-life... she opposed gay marriage in CA and stood firm with the voters even after the courts overturned the will of the people... opposed Boxer on cap-n-trade... called the science surrounding global warming inconclusive, saying "I think we should have the courage to examine the science on an ongoing basis." Also, survived breast cancer, and had a good quote: "I have to say that after chemotherapy, Barbara Boxer just isn't that scary anymore.")

I understand Carly F has her critics but she also has given a great speech and CPAC and her interview on the HH show today was great. She deserves credit for that. I recall her education was at Stanford and MIT and I recall her giving a graduation speech at MIT. Having lots of candidates in the 2016 presidential contest is good at this point—it helps weaken the GOPe’s efforts to ram J Bush through the process and suck all the Republican donor money out of the system early.

My view exactly. I do not get all the negativity about her. Smart lady, and could be an asset in a Walker, Cruz, or Rubio administration

the best possible outcome for Carly Fiorina is that she runs, spends her ill-gotten HP golden parachute fortune, loses, goes into bankruptcy, and ends up with living under a freeway overpass.

I wish she won in California! She would make a great VP.

Nixon lost the CA governor’s race to Pat Brown in 1962. Didn’t hurt his chances to become POTUS in 1968!
