Clinton: McCain Has More Experience Than Obama

Hillary Clinton continued her heated attacks against frontrunner Obama, claiming that the likely Repubican nominee John McCain has more experience than the Illinois senator. Hillary told reporters yesterday:

"I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience to the White House. And Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002."

Keith Olbermann was less than pleased with the attack that would surely return in a McCain-Obama general election, calling the statement, "unbelievable."

There's something about her, her faux feminism, the feminist principles-for-sale of her supporters, that just FATIGUES me. I'm ready for this to be over (no matter who wins) just to be RID of her. Should she steal the election, I can keep the TV turned off for four years, and toss away the Politics section of my paper. I just can't take any more of her.

She's more Republican than McCain. She's vicious and power hungry and she will destroy anything she can't own.

ENOUGH already.

You call that statement an "attack". Geeez, what passes for attacks these days. And if Hillary does get the nomination you don't think all the trash Olbermann and the other MSM have thrown at her won't be used?

People have EYES and they can see for themselves that McCain has experience, so does Hillary.
It's called life experience. Get over it. Both she and McCain are battle tested in more ways than one -- you think you could withstand the barrage of hate she's endured since Arkansas and not be a stronger person. Obama has led a charmed life.

It is possible to be for someone without dishing out the hate that is on these blogs. But that would indicate a person was intelligent enough to hold two thoughts at the same time. I did not agree with most of what William F. Buckley believed in but I respected him for his brilliant mind, his way with words, his wicked sense of humor and his graciousness -- something that is totally lacking in Obama and Michelle and double for supporters like these on the blogs. Shame on you.

Scorched earth is now in affect. If Hillary can't be POTUS no Democrat will be.

Hillary has made it clear she doesn't care how she wins. She's also made it clear that she doesn't want Obama to win in November should he be the nominee. I guess the press is still biased against her though since none of them pointed out that Obama also has a lifetime of experience.

[Denni]

Isn't it astonishing how the press won't play up HIS lifetime of experience, too? She spent less than a year with Edelman and has spun myth around her 'great experiences' working for the organization.

[nightslider]

where does he have a lifetime of experince you lame turkey. clarify or just put a pleasurable object in your face, your discarded binky will work.

[AZModerate]

Well of course she would stick up for her good friend John McCain. After all as Bill said, they are "incredibly close".

Well gee hillary,

doesn't McCain have more experience than you do ?

[SaintZak]

Is she secretly working for the Republicans? After she made that statement the leadership of the Democrat party (Dean, Pelosi, all of them) should have issued a unified party statement condemning her. When we wake up on that November morning to President Elect John McCain that woman will be solely responsible. It will be on her shoulders.

And she and her supporters wonder why some Obama supporters have stated their unwillingness to vote for her in the general election. What a piece of work she is.

[Grunty1]

She needs to stop handing the McCain campaign weapons to use against herself if she manages to win. I can already see the commercial: "Clinton thinks experience is the most important factor, yet John McCain has many more years of experience"

Far too many of her expectatio­n-of-Presi­dency arguments are going to come back and bite in her in the ass in the general.

[SeekerOne]

And while her own garbage comes back to bite her in the ass, the Repubs are sitting on a truckload of "mud" to sling into her face. Mud we'll all have to eat.

how low can you go hillary . . . Obama has more legislative experience than you have . . .have you suddenly started campaigning for mccain . . . or was this the plan you discussed with your neo-con buddies and lieberman???

I hope you get sent packing big time today . .. .

[uscitizen]

Is this the kind of experience we can rely on from Day One? Smarts but no wisdom.

[Countess]

Olberman has awakened to the reactionary nature of the Clinton campaign and is disgusted by it as any intelligent person should be.

[iPolitics]

Obama has more experience than Hillary. Four more years in elected government.

[mrdontplay]

It shows what the CLINTON's are all about...PO­WER.

it sad how low they are willing to go.

You don't hear much from the CLINTONESTAS on this one though.

They pick and choose what they want to hear.

HRC is a good example of a BAD team mate.

She is like the Wide Receiver that whines for the ball, nevermind the fact that the last 11 balls thrown to her were DROPPED.

Hillary you are sad, please go away...or run with Huckabee or Romney or something
