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."

McCain has a lot more national security experience than Hillary. If experience is the crucial factor, McCain should be President.

If sound judgement is the relevant criterion, Obama has both Hillary and McCain beat.

Judgement trumphs experience when it really counts.

Hillary Phone Ad Parody

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=occNShr3gFw

[CaptainVideo]

When Hillary answers the phone at 3:00 A.M. what does the caller say?

"Bill has been caught with another intern by the press. How should be handle it?"

Someone should really do a U-Tube of this parody.

[uglybetty]

At least Bill picked the ( opposite sex ) !!
Ask Obama about the affair with Larry Sinclair !!

Post that on U-TUBE !!!

[Emmaboverry]

If you think the press is going soft on Hill, form your own questions and send to MSM news hosts and newspapers or copy these:

Dear Mr. Russert,

Questions I hope you and other respected journalists will ask of Senator Clinton as well as research yourself:

1) Please give specific examples of your participation in a) Peace talks in Northern Ireland b) the Kosovo refugee crisis--how did you influence the outcomes of these events? In what official capacity did you act at these events and what specific actions did you take, decisions did you participate in that can help Americans assess your foreign policy /national security experience and expertise over and beyond that of Senator Obama's?

2) How does your speech on women's rights in China substantiate your claim to foreign policy experience or your readiness to respond with sound judgment to an international
crisis as you suggest in your red phone ad?

3) Please give us examples of your work on the Senate Armed Services Committee and instances of how your superior judgment was tested and employed in that work.

4) What do you say to those who argue that in the most crucial test of judgment bearing on your potential to exercise sound judgment on foreign policy and in behalf of national security interests, you failed to demonstrate
a thorough enough consideration of all the evidence at hand so as to come to a decision you, and many other Americans, would not later regret-i.e. your vote to authorize the president to go to war with Iraq?

[SensibleAmerican]

"Press is going soft on Hill"?! Just shows the cluelessness again of the Hussein-Helium-Inhaling herd ... MSNBC is married to Barack Hussein! The can't stop sucking him!!!

[musselmanm]

I would have to say that Hillary should not bring up the experience of Senator Bush/MCain. He far outweighs Hillary and Bill on Forign policy experience. he has been involved in US forign policy since he was admitting to war crimes for the Viet Cong.
Just experience may not be the answer. John McCain is not the experience I am looking for and Neither is Hillarys' experience.
Sound, dignified, well thought out is more along the lines I am looking for.
She will have my full support in our general election if she steals the nomination. Senator Bush/McCain will not. That is a vote for war, torture and free trade and more outsourcing. John McCain has advocated all of these concepts.

[SensibleAmerican]

[Seattlelite]

People keep living in the "Clinton" of yester years, wake up people we are not in the 90's anymore it's 2008 and thanks to Bush and Co we don't even recognize this country or it's ecomony anymore. The Clinton's are not the only people capable of fixing our problems and frankly their entrenched in what's wrong with our system. It is not good to have 2 families running this country, it's why we're in this mess.

[HLMerkin]

Home ownership reached new highs under Bush 43.

Did you forget about war in the Balkans?

Did you miss the escalation of our prison population under Clinton, something that affected minorities?

Did you miss how Clinton treated Jocelyn Elders or Clifton Wharton Jr. or Lani Gunier?

I guess that is what makes Clinton supporters not too much different than the 19%ers, a blind indifference to facts.

And worse than the supporters of any candidate is the asshole who doesn't care enough about the argument to discern the truth.

Pathetic.

[Emmaboverry]

And on Bill Clinton's watch what he himself called the worst genocide of
the 20th century: Rwanda.

[CaptainVideo]

Bill Clinton was a pretty good President in spite of the fact that at the personal behavior level he was a total scoundrel.

But Hillary is no Bill Clinton.

[wilhelmR]

All these during the Internet Boom. Once the Boom collapse so did the Economy and the Clinton years. He had a $3Trillion surplus and did nothing for 37 million people living under $12,000/year. Shame on you and shame on the Clintons! They were great for people like Lou Dobbs and his audience not for Progresives. They should move to the Republican Party.
As for Hillary: "She can sure as hell "bloody up" Obama for the general and assure herself another chance in 2012."

[Rocky4356]

Hell has no fury -like a woman scorned -u better duck barack -something is coming after the sink. wonder what she would throw at iran if the little guy scorned her-you think maybe a missile or two.

[dsm]

Who cares about experience. Bush has experience as a president yet it's still not improving.
Fidel Castro was another very experienced politician

[ndolomar]

is "kitchen sink" the new "swiftboat"?

[DeanLowe]

It's called stating the obvious. You don't think McCain has more experience then Obama? That's ridiculous, just look at him, he's older than Obama and Clinton combined.

[srtjsrtj]

Experience does not equal solutions. Both Senator Clinton and McCain have been in Washington for many years, who was in charge when this crisis hit? Healthcare, gas prices, soldiers not getting healthcare and disability needed or quickly, pensions funds deleted by corporate america, food prices up, good from China not environmentally safe or no procedures in place to ensure it meets FDA standards, Americans loosing their homes in the thousands and their families are on the street or looking to live in shelters or with family members, the banking industry did not implement subprime lending this year, higher education. Where were these experienced Congress people while laws were being passed, ignored and no solutions given until some decide to run for President or other higher offices. Who was watching the Hen House? Who was looking out for the American People. Why would you trust the very people who caused this problem to fix it. Why did Sen. Clinton sit on her healthcare plan until it was time to run for President. Surely she could have presented it to congress even if it failed and sounded the horn with the media to get our support. These people go to congress with a little money and come out Millionaires, is that what we expect from the people we send to look out for us? We paid these people to get us in this mess now we want to reward them for getting us out. You have to ask why didn't they try to Prevent this fiasco? Just asking.

[CaptainVideo]

If Hillary is the candidate, the debate will be about who has the most experience, a debate McCain will obviously win.

If Obama is the candidate, the debate is about who has the better judgement. This is a debate that Obama can and will win.

[Seattlelite]

Yep I think it's safe to say "kitchen sink" is the new "swiftboat".

[snowcat]

from Judicial Watch:
“In addition to her long and sordid ethics record, Senator Hillary Clinton took a lot of heat in 2007 – and rightly so – for blocking the release her official White House records. Many suspect these records contain a treasure trove of information related to her role in a number of serious Clinton-era scandals. Moreover, in March 2007, Judicial Watch filed an ethics complaint against Senator Clinton for filing false financial disclosure forms with the U.S. Senate (again)”

What are SOME of those Clinton scandals?
Whitewater land deal-gate, Norman Hsu - Hillary’s top campaign contributor, Norman Hsu, was exposed as a felon and a fugitive from justice in 2007. Hsu pleaded guilt to one count of grand theft for defrauding investors as part of a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme. Rose Law Firm, Files-gate, travel-gate, schedule –gate, tax return – how did you become kabillionaires so recently and quickly? cattle futures-gate, donations from firm rife with sexual harassment-gate, $44,000 profit on a $2,000 investment in a cellular phone franchise deal-gate, contributions from drug smugglers, Mark Penn's ties to Blackwater-gate, Johnny Chung, pardons for cash-gate, Castle Grande , Bill"s financial ties to the emir of Dubai. Bill was paid $10 million for his connections.
Her verbatim defense on most of these scandals??? “Whatever mistakes she might have made, she says, were the result of naivete.”

Hail To The Chief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[keir]

Now Hillary has asked a judge to keep her phone records sealed for 1 to 2 years.
Now who had she called as first lady?

People better start remembering what we had with the Clintons...and I supported them.
People better also remember the stalemate with the Repugs. Do you think any republican will work with her?

[Grannysue]

Hillary Clinton, will put herself above all else, the country, the party, the election, that's how bad she wants to be President. She will approve her minions to tell lies about Obama, that he's a muslim, call him HUSSAIN, try and say he doesn't have enough experience? So she's been around longer, the wife of a former President, and yes a Senator. He's a Senator, yet she believes that because by marriage she was in the Wh that qualifies her. The truly sad part is, even without enough votes, delegates, etc., she won't quit until she either splits the Democratic party, and allows the GOPERS to form the election around their agenda, like destroying Iran and any one else Bush/McCain don't like.
So, Hillary why not just join the Republican party, you voted with George on most things, and leave it at that.
The American public want CHANGE, Hillary Clinton and John McCain are not CHANGE, they are Washington fixtures, that's what American's want to get rid of.
I do not want to see Obama go negative, unlike Clinton he still has his dignity and honor left, but I'm afraid the people in the party who want him to win will tell him it's the only way to go. I say, ignore her, he's got the majority of the delagates, and votes so far, so run like your the canadiate for office, against McCain and let Hillary keep on spewing lies.

[nazgul]

McHillary.

[nazgul]

McClinton.

[JavaCityGal]

Hillary "Rove" McClinton

[nazgul]

Experience. Clinton: when more is less.

[Dantana]

Geez, Hil if we wanted experience in Washington, we'd be nominating the likes of Dick Cheney!!!

[Freddy334]

I like Hillary and she is becoming more physically and sexually attractive lately. I think many white middle class male voters are finding her more palatable and more sexually desireable which is translating into more votes.

I will never vote for Barrack Hussein Obama.

[winoohno]

you're either blind or desperate or both

I don't know any males who find her remotely attractive

see first line above

[shano]

Talk about a really stupid reason to vote someone into office! sheesh. Americans are really stupid if this is true. We did after all, vote Bushco into office twice.

[ibsteve2u]

lollll...see? Even Hillary says she and McCain are the same...

[Effymens]

Keith Olbermann is the person that is unbelivable.He is really full of himself. I still cant believe that l wasted my time watching his show . He has shown that he is nothing but a hypocrite of the highest order. He is nothing but a water carrier for Barrack Obama. How much are they paying him?He sits there running his mouth all day . I am so sick of you so called reporters harassing Hillary all day long. Let me tell you something Mr big shot reporter, Mr McCain does have more experience than golden boy Obama so deal with it.We are tired of your ranting and raving.Futhermore you and your gang should stop telling Hillary to drop out of the race. Barrack Obama does not have enough delegates necessary to secure the nomination. It is not your job to pick the nominee for the Democratic Party.

[GrammyinPA]

This is the best and most accurate post that I have read.
Olbermann is as bad as ALL the rest of MSNBC "pundits". I stopped watching this horrible network several months ago. They are all water carriers for Obama. They are each obnoxious enough to think that they should choose our presidential candidate. I Don't Think So.

[nazgul]

HA! Without Olberman there would be no signifcant opposition movement in the media to BS Fox "fair and balanced."

You willingness to toss this last bastion of sense on the airwaves for the sake of a false progressive is revealing of the shallowness of your principles.

Hillary's act here was unconscionable and further demonstrates that she and her supporters are Swiftboat Republicans.

[nazgul]

Without Olbermann, there would be no "fair and balanced" news.

Those of you who are willing to abandon him because he clocked Clinton on stabbing the Democratic Party in the bag for her own, desperate needs are as pathetic as she is.

Hillary lives in the biggest glass house on the planet. Prepare to watch a stoning of biblical proportions.

[kissmygrits]

Keith Olbermann is the only things that makes watching Cable News bearable... it's certainly not Hill's complete lack of sincerity in ever single interview. I'm glad SOMEONE is calling her on her selfishness...

[pajewood]

wah wah! not keith's job to pick the nominee? you are right, it's the voters. and the voters are picking obama. check the elected delegates and the popular vote. it is sad when hillary puts herself and mccain in a league above obama. she has no more experience than obama. if you're counting first lady time, tell me: when did she cast a vote while she was first lady? she'll do anything to win, including helping the republicans and it's sad that anyone would let her get away with it. i'd take kucinich, biden, dodd, edwards or richardson over her. if she's the nominee i may not vote in the general since the only way she can win is back room dealing and not on the merits of the primaries.

[butchie65]

Wouldn't that be great to see her fat face in tears when she lost the election ? I bet she could put on a good show. Then we could get her out of the Senate too.

[soulstressed]

I'm gonna post this as much as possible family. So please bear with me. I believe in what we're building here, as do we all, and I think we can make a shift change that is not destructive, but furthers the cause of truth in politics.

Backed by Truth, Fronted By Obama

Though I respect the decision to 'not do nasty' on the part of Obama's campaign, it's not going to work. Clinton's map to the WH is routed via FLA, MI or intimidating SDs. This is not about getting nasty or attacking. It's about shining the light on Senator Clinton's own realties. This can be done with candor and eloquence because we are backed by truth, and fronted by Obama.

A new strategy has to be demanded by us, the supporters, so that Senator Obama will be pushed by his base, into action.
I'd like to begin an online petition of Obama supporters that addresses our wishes for 'our campaign'.
1st key points of this work in progress:
1. That we not get nasty, but that we answer negative attacks quickly and firmly.
2. That we call upon our surrogates, as Clinton does, to bring up things that are more than murky in Senator Clinton's camp. I.E., Bill's very interesting Dubai dealings, the Senator's own questionable campaign fund raising history scandals.
3. Debunking the media bias lie toward Obama. Clinton was the inevitable, the media darling for over a year. All it took was her complaining about a couple of positive weeks for Senator Obama, and the media now falls all over itself to repeat all her talking points.
4. Shed light on the obvious fact that Senator Clinton could not care less about the party and the country she decries to love. If she did, she would not imply that the Republican nominee would be better suited for the WH, she would not say that "as far as she knows he is not a Muslim", and certainly would not consistently suggest that all people and/or states that did not vote for her were insipid and inconsequential.
5. The voters must demand that she release the tax returns. This needs to be truly brought to bear. She is obviously hiding something, and we deserve to know BEFORE it's too late to diffuse a ticking bomb awaiting us in the general.
6. Release the WH papers. What DID she actually do during her tenure as First Lady?
7. Please confront her with the 35 years nonsense. Senator Obama has a longer legislative history than Senator Clinton. That is a fact not receiving enough attn.
8. What actual crisis has Senator Clinton diverted? How was this accomplished without proper security clearance?

Yikes, get over it the ,Obamagasm prematured......he has to come up with some substance ... you guys are in for a nice three months of exposure to Illinois/ Chicago politics with Rezkow... Maybe barry should get involved in Illinois politics for a CHANGE and he might HOPE for a chance in November

[mensa999]

This is great. I was thinking the same thing. However thinking and doing are two different things. I applaud you!

[JavaCityGal]

Thanks so much for taking the lead on this. Let me know when it's available and I will sign. I think we should also start a petition to the DNC and media asking for Hillary tax returns asap.
