Hillary's Experience v. Obama's Ineptitude

The Obama camp is attempting to derail Hillary's bid for the White House by questioning her experience.

The truth is she does have White House experience. Whether we like it or not, she in some sense was a co-President with her husband. She was the policy wonk behind many of his proposals and initiatives. Hillary selected most of his cabinet members, and she chose most of his executive staff.

Most of Bill Clinton's ideas were run past Hillary before anyone else. She did not hesitate to voice her disagreement with his staff members.

Obama, on the other hand, given the opportunity to chair a subcommitte with tremendous influence over the war in Afghanistan has demonstrated remarkable ineptitude: THE SUBCOMMITTEE HAS NEVER MET. According to Lou Dobbs of CNN, Barack Obama has had 13 months to make a public issue over the war in Afghanistan as chairman of this Senate subcommittee, and he has failed miserably.
