Where's the experience?
Advertisements [?]
Now that Clinton has come out and semi-endorsed McCain I am left wondering where all this experience she's touting comes from. I will agree that at the age of 60 she does have 14 more years of living than Obama but she has absolutely no more years in elected office then he. You can claim that she was first lady of Arkansas then the U.S. but that is usually a nominal role in which the wife of the president chooses a pet project and gets a small budget to carry it out for public relation reasons. I know Hillary Clinton did manage the travel office (which came under very close scrutiny for unscrupulous practices) and the health care proposal (which failed miserably) but other than those I can't think of too very much she did while first lady. Obama, on the other hand was a teacher and a civil rights attorney for years, which sounds like pretty good experience to me.

So please, Clinton supporters, tell me what experience she has over Obama that makes her so qualified to be president.
