Hillary has never served in the situation room or on the National Security Council

[Rosa Luxemburg]

"While Clinton's advertisements have boasted that she is best prepared for a 3 a.m. crisis phone call, the schedules contain no evidence that Clinton was at the table during major national security decisions. They do not list her as attending National Security Council meetings or joining briefings in the Situation Room. She did not have a national security clearance. And the documents make clear that at moments of major crisis, Clinton was often busy with her own agenda."

why is she still allowed to make these false claims that she has experience if there is a crisis?

1. Has Obama or McCain?

It's politics. That's what politicians do. Nothing new here.

2. She's the one who's stressing 'experience'

[Rosa Luxemburg]

3. I don't think they have claimed this like Wonderwoman

[cynatnite]

5. I guess I don't understand why folks get their thongs in a bunch over this...

Politicians have stressed their experience when running for office...even if they never held that office before. It's been done since...well, since politicians came into existence.

It's laughable, to me, that some think this is some big deal as if no one's ever done it before. Sorry, but that's how I see it.

10. this is major if she is basing her campaign on this so called experience

sure politicians distort but this is big

4. She is

'allowed to make these false claims that she has experience if there is a crisis' because its a 'free country.'

Voters determine whether the experience of any candidates should result in their selection.

'Clinton was given the mission of speaking out for women's rights at a conference in Beijing. She was sent to meet with refugees in forbidding places. She was dispatched to extend friendship to parts of the world where the president did not have time to go. But the former senior official expressed irritation at both sides for mischaracterizing her role. "They made a mistake to exaggerate it," he said of Clinton's aides, "and I think it's a mistake to underappreciate it."'

6. See one, do one, teach one... it's classic training

Even a fly on the wall gets part one.

7. Hillary hasn't done any where near as much as she claims...

there's so much bullshit on her part I don't believe anything she says anymore.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

8. but people are believing it

dishonest

[Medusa]

11. And the media are simply choosing not to bring it out in the open

they're waiting for the GE if she's the nominee. "Vetted" my ass.

[Life Long Dem]

9. Hillary is a fake.
