Who Is More Qualified to Be Commander-In-Chief? Nancy, Laura or Hillary?

[David Zephyr]

Poll question: Who Is More Qualified to Be Commander-In-Chief? Nancy, Laura or Hillary?

Never before in American history has the wife of a former President claimed that her time in the White House qualified her to be the Commander-in-Chief until now.

Now that's a very big claim and it does deserve some consideration since it is being made over and over all the time.

Hillary Clinton certainly has made her being First Lady a real "qualifier" to being the next Commander-in-Chief. Take that Barack Obama!

And, yet I know that while Nancy Reagan and Laura Bush have never braved real live sniper fire in a war zone as Hillary has, still all three certainly have nearly eight years in the White House to their credit, and all three have slept with that famous red phone right next to their beds.

So in my humble eyes, it is about a toss up as to experience between the three of them.

But what say you?

Which of the three is more qualified to be Commander-in-Chief?

[anonymous171]

1. This would be the GOPs line of attack if Hillary somehow got the nom.

2. I'll go with Laura...can she do any worse a job than her husband?

[RC]

12. Laura has experience killing someone also, so I pick Laura.

[David Zephyr]

15. But then again, Hillary voted for the war in Iraq. Nancy and Laura can't claim that.

I think that Hillary's vote for Bush's amazing and brilliant war in Iraq might give her the edge over Nancy and Laura.

3. None of the above based on that experience alone ...

[kid a]

4. I don't know - Did Laura or Nancy ever go to Bosnia?

[totodeinhere]

34. Yes, they did.

They both got off the plane at the airport dodging a ballistic missile that landed about two feet from them. Then Laura took personal command of an artillery battery and single handedly defended the entire airport and all inhabitants from incoming bazooka fire. Then Nancy got on the radio and called in a squadron of F-17's which was finally able to calm the situation. So you can see from this experience how qualified either Laura or Nancy would be to be commander in chief.

Oh, I only aim to please! IF someone begs to be whipped by a dominatrix, I will be very happy to comply... I can be quite the sadist. :evilgrin: :spank:

[Kurovski]

54. She's looking for a raise, I tell you.

However, I have to say that that description fits me to a T over these past two days.

I must think of a way to extract myself from this closet of bedlam for an hour of time at very least.

7. Jacqueline Kennedy

was brilliant,classy and knew how to represent our country with style and with grace.

Talking about a patriot,she made the supreme sacrifice for our country and was loved and adored all over the world.

She could have been President.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

8. 6 individuals that responded to the poll (thus far) are crazy

How on EARTH can anyone say that Laura Bush or Nancy Reagan is comparable to Hillary Clinton? Are you all crazy? Somebody forgot to pay the brain bill for those two women! Hillary is a brilliant woman. Maybe not whom I'd prefer for president, but brilliant she is.

[Carolina]

40. brilliant? puhleeze

[Mooney]

9. I said Nancy Reagan.

She sat on Mr. T's lap once and she appeared in an episode of "Diff'rent Strokes."

[blogslut]

10. You left out one hell of a First Lady

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_Roosevelt

[ORDem]

11. In 1960 the GOP should've run Mamie Eisenhower instead of Nixon. n/t

:eyes:

[Muttocracy]

13. well, depends on if Laura runs for NY senate seat in 2012 nt

[Kurovski]

[woolldog]

20. Laura Bush has the most recent and relevant "experience"

so I picked her.

[Kurovski]

27. This thread is knockin' the shit outta me...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

No one's got any mercy for me!!! :rofl: :rofl:

STOP! :rofl: :rofl:

[XemaSab]

21. Where's Babs?

:shrug:

[lutefisk]

42. The Pearl Queen is double qualified- bearer of Chimpy and spouse of Poppy

She should absolutely have been on the list.

edit: I just realized that Babs is also qualified to be VP.

[againes654]

26. Eleanor Roosevelt

She was her husbands "legs" when he was unable to get out. She was the first "First Lady" to really be involved in politics, and she did wonders for women and minorities!!!

[Kurovski]

30. Lady E would win hands down.

For serious.

[grantcart]

52. she and Mrs. Wilson

[AGirl]

28. Your Mom.

[AGirl]

32. Who is more qualified to be Commander in Chief? O.J Simpson or Barack Obama?

[Kurovski]

44. "If the joke don't fit, then just dump some shit."

[AGirl]

46. Interesting.

[Catherina]

33. Sorry. I have to go with Laura. She's not shell-shocked from sniper fire

The little librarian is a total wreck and I wouldn't trust her with shit but at least she wasn't ducking imaginary sniper fire

[totodeinhere]

38. Oh yea, see post #34.

[adoraz]

35. none of the above

[emilyg]

49. Stupid poll.

[PatGund]

50. Oh really??

If sleeping with the president equalled experience to be president, then maybe the GOP should run Condi Rice as their nominee.

[dailykoff]

51. Laura has more kills

not counting Iraq.

[grantcart]

53. tomorrow can you redo the poll and include Mrs Roosevelt and Mrs Wilson?

[fortyfeetunder]

55. C'mon this poll was all too obvious

I support Obama but think Hillary is definitely more qualified than Nancy or Laura to be a commander in chief.
