Clinton Questions Obama's Ability
by RCH1


to greet world leaders <Link>

CHARLESTON, WV—Hillary Clinton once again attacked Barack Obama on the issue of experience Tuesday, this time questioning the Illinois senator's ability to effectively smile, make appropriate eye contact, and offer sufficiently delicious finger foods when welcoming visiting world leaders.

"My opponent has never greeted foreign dignitaries such as the Japanese Minister of Forestry and Fisheries, as I had the opportunity to do when I was first lady," Clinton said, adding that she has an extensive background in both double-clasped hand shakes and idle small talk with political luminaries from several nations.

"Do the American people really want a president who doesn't know when it's appropriate to gesture toward a chair, indicating where a head of state should be seated?"

At a previous speech in Indianapolis, Clinton had challenged Obama's ability to create a health-care reform initiative that would ultimately fail and hand Congress over to the Republicans in an electoral landslide, as she did in 1993

Hmm, i have spent alot of time researching alot of automobile and computer advances over the years, one thing i have realized over the years is that everything that is a good idea takes time and experiance to work all of the bugs out of, hillary has already been around that block. She probably already knows what is going to work and what wont. Obama has not spent a whole lot of time in this field as far as i am aware, but hillary has spent a hell of a lot of time on this. so critisizing people for working hard to work out those bugs is not a good way of critisizing people. Thomas edison went through thousands of try to perfect the light bulb, but only that experiance is what gives billions of people light at night these days. That is experiance and obama has very little.

"Thomas edison went through thousands of try to perfect the light bulb, ..."

The President of the United States doesn't have the luxury of thousands of tries before s/he gets it right. Getting it right the first time counts for a lot.

Hillary Clinton failed at health care reform. She failed to get it right on the Iraq War. And her nomination campaign has failed. I don't know about you, but I see a disturbing pattern in all of this.

Obama 08!

But you fail to realize that politics is the exact same thing, that is why there are always amendments to everything being passed.
The reason for all the amendments

is to give everyone a chance to add their favorite "projects" - ie PORK.
