Does Hillary really have experience answering 3AM phone calls?

Question

March 01, 2008

Clinton still has no answer to the ringing "3 a.m." ad -- and she continues to exaggerate her role on foreign policy issues that she has already been criticized for

RHETORIC: Clinton claims she is better qualified to answer the phone at the White House

FACT: Clinton failed her key foreign policy test with her support for Iraq. Also, Clinton and her campaign can still not answer the question of what in her experience makes her more qualified than Obama...

On CNN today:

Q: Senator, can you talk about one specific time when you've had to make that kind of 3 A.M., split-second decision based on foreign policy?

Clinton: Well, I was involved in a lot of the decisions that were made. But again, you're looking at it from the wrong perspective. I'm presenting – you know, no one who hasn't been president has ever done that. So, that's not the right question. The question is, what have you done over the course of a lifetime to equip you for that moment....

Answer 1

I bet she would take a call from her daughter at any time as that is what a mother does.  Family is a great experience for early am problems.  If the call came to her husband, I am sure it got her awake.  She worked more than likely all night often when planning her health care plans or when traveling abroad with her husband or as a country representative.  I get calls at 3 AM. I do fine with them.  I have worked early am to have enough peace and quiet to do college work and she did law school also, Get over it.  The idea is she understands the diplomacy as she had to in order not to cause an international incident with the wrong words or behaivor in many countries as well as in the white house.

Answer 2

I do not see what all the hoopla is about the 3 am call, none of us will sound very smart at 3 am, mostly groggy and confussed so why do we expect a person who is simply human to have some super-charged am hours brain and be able to solve complex math equations at that hour?!?!? I bet she can't carve marble and do we care about that?!?!? Jeezzz!

Answer 3

she dosent even know how to set an alarm to ring at 3,o,clock

Answer 4

Hillary has no foreign policy experience, and for that matter,no domestic policy experience.  Yes, she traveled with Bill and had dinners with a few heads of state.  So if she gets a 3:00AM phone call, she has enough lifetime experience to say, "Hello."  Come to think of it, so do I.  Maybe I have the experience to run for president.

Answer 5

bills' alibi used to call about that time

Answer 6

Yes, it's from the clubs around DC telling her to come get her good-for-nothing husband.  He's scaring away the female patrons again.

Answer 7

Only when Monica called asking for Bill.

'Course, with separate bedrooms, I can't understand how in the heck Monica thought Hillary would have ANY idea at all where Bill might be at that hour.

Then again, no one ever said that any of Bill's bimbos were especially brainy, did they?

Answer 8

If I was president and got a call at 3am,

"WTF don't you guys have call centers in India to handle this sort of c**p?"

"Oh... wait... nevermind... that all happened under the conservatives... I'm a liberal.  Okay.  Just give me a second here to finish up.  I've got a bed full of Asian American girls who are sophomores in college here.  Aw man, where'd my pants go... dude, I tell you, Abbas is gonna pay for this, man.  I'm not ******* around here."

"Oh, and make sure my S2000 is waiting under the cupola at 3pm tomorrow.  Happy hour at Harpo's."

Answer 9

yes.

She will do anything to gain vote.

Answer 10

Only when MONICA called over and over and over and over....

Answer 11

Not for any booty calls, that's for sure.

Answer 12

No she does not.  She's desperate, and all of America can see it now.
