Hillary's Presidential Qualifications
Sen. Hillary Clinton has been lumbering around the political landscape talking about herself as commander in chief. She joined the Senate Armed Services Committee as a freshman seven short years ago and has managed to pick up enough military jargon to sound like an Army on his third tour of duty in the Pentagon’s administrative office. She has taken on the world-weary sound of a veteran European diplomat although [1] she has not carried out even one day’s duty as a diplomat.
In fact, prior to being elected to the Senate in 2000, her only recent professional employment had been as a in Little Rock, Arkansas while her husband, coincidentally, was governor of that state. [2] She represented clients sometimes had an interest in getting to know her husband better. The back door to her Arkansas Governor’s office.
She has never managed anything larger than a Senate office, although she did exercise the traditional first prerogative of [3] trying to get various members of her husband’s staff fired.
Her international activities while first lady were more in line with the [4] ceremonial responsibilities of a Pat Laura Bush, than with the actual interventions of Eleanor Roosevelt who she does claim to have spoken to in a seance.
In other words, [5] she doesn’t have the government management experience of a Reagan, Carter or Bill Clinton. Neither does she have the international, military or naval experience of an Eisenhower, Hooveror, a Franklin.
