What experience does Hillary Have at being President of the United States?

Question

Hillary Clinton has never been President. I am a Obama supporter. People are always saying she has the experience, but Bill was President not her. I like her as a person but really if you look at the qualifications Barack has just as much or more experience than she has. To me it is more historic for Hillary to win than Obama because not only will she be the first woman President but she is also the wife of a former President. How many times will we read about that in the history books. I feel that Barack is the best person for the job.

Answer 1

I guess people (especially Hillary herself) are considering age as part of her experience?? Honestly, NONE of the candidates have ever been president, so what exactly constitutes "experience"?  I've wondered this myself. Is it the amount of time in elected office?  The amount of time spent working since reaching adulthood?  Maybe Hillary supporters are counting her years as First Lady as experience, in which case, that isn't actual experience, second hand knowledge.  She didn't run the country herself then......OR DID SHE?????

Answer 2

neither one have been president so why are you holding that against hillary. Its a supid argument.

Answer 3

N/A

Answer 4

The only people who have any experience being President are the people who have ALREADY BEEN President.  No one else has any experience.  Technically, Hillary was closest since she lived in the White House and was married to the President.  Whether that makes her more experienced, I don't know.  The current President Bush could have said he was more experienced because his father was President, but that hasn't really worked out too well, has it?

Answer 5

Eight years of being First lady in the WH is what Hillary is viewing as experience.  Entertaining guest is not the same as running the country, otherwise every House-wife would run for President.  

OBAMA 4 President and if you don't believe me go to (http://www.barackobama.com) and see for yourself.

Answer 6

Hillary was the most active first lady in our nations history, and she travelled to over 80 countries as first lady.  She did not vacation, but organized groups and lobbied governments as first lady.  She takes more credit for her work as first lady than she deserves, but she was not "just a first lady".  Further, she has 2 more years experience as a senator, and serves on the Senate Armed Forces Committee, a significant position that gives her foreign policy experience which he lacks.

I am an Obama supporter, but I voted Hillary in Ohio last week.  Her resume is better than his, but I don't like either for their resume or rhetoric, it is their policies and approaches to problem solving.

Answer 7

Niether Obama or Hillary has the sense to stay out of the rain

Answer 8

No one has experience until they get there.

She needs to quit those stupid comments.  Citizens are smarter than she thinks.

Half the time, after Presidents have been there for a while, they make ridiculous mistakes.  Why would she want to be associated with that?

Answer 9

umm well to start of she's a woman so she thinks she knows it all but when it comes down to it she has none

Answer 10

I am still wondering what she is talking about

THe famous double talk of the Clintons have given her credit for the good things and distance from the bad things that occured in Bill's presidency
