A question for Hillary fans
Posted: Thu Mar 20, 2008 8:16 pm
A question for the people who have been ripping Obama a new one - in extremely nasty and vipertuitive language.
Why do you believe anything Hillary Clinton says?
What experience? What 3 a.m. phone calls has she answered? There is no concrete reason to believe she had national security clearance to sit in on any high-level meetings -- if she had she certainly would have mentioned it.
Northern Ireland: Instrumental in the Northern Ireland peace process? Funny, she doesn't look like George Mitchell or Madeline Albright. A Nobel Peace Prize winner who WAS involved called her claims silly.
Kosovo: The borders were open before she got there. Exactly what diplomatic wrangling did she do to get them that way?
Urging intervention in Rwanda? Why didn't she mention it ibefore? Or her husband mention it as a regret -- and he mentioned others -- in his memoirs?
Bosnia: It was a USO show. Unless Sinbad and Sheryl Crow have some national security clearance we weren't told about.
AND, if it was a dangerous trip with bullets flying, why did she bring her teenaged daughter? What kind of judgment does THAT show?
OR domestic issues.
FMLA: Helped pass the Family & Medical Leave Act?
Uh, no. I was a congressional aide when that was passed. It had huge bi-partisan support; George HW Bush vetoed it twice.
That it would be passed immediately after Bill Clinton was inaugurated was a given. Took about two weeks.
A Democrat who ran for President DID have a huge role in crafting FMLA.
Unfortunately for Hillary Clinton, it was Chris Dodd.
NAFTA: She spoke in favor of NAFTA when she ran for the Senator in New York and hosted pro-NAFTA breakfasts in the White House.
Unless, of course, that was some other NAFTA and not the one she ran against in Ohio.
And, I loved the way she managed the health care bill when she was First Lady. Why should I believe she'll do better this time?
If Barack Obama doesn't have foreign policy experience, she doesn't either. At least not any more than, say, Mrs. Tony Blair.
And that puts both of them on par with, oh, Ronald Reagan or Bill Clinton when THEY ran for president.
So, tell me, the undecided Pennsylvania voter, why Hillary Clinton isn't a snake oil salesperson?
