libertangoI saw the video clip of Ms. Clinton saying this the other day, but here's the transcript:
"So you decide which makes more sense: Entrust our country to someone who is ready on day one... or to put America in the hands of someone with little national or international experience, who started running for president the day he arrived in the U.S. Senate."
Talk about projection -- except for the pronoun, she's almost perfectly described herself. Formal national experience: 1 term and a bit in the Senate. Formal international experience: Zip. Running for president since the day she arrived in the Senate: Check.
Most importantly, judgment. On Iraq, Clinton wrong; Obama right.

Date: 2007-12-06 12:28 pm (UTC)Experience in national office: Clinton, 7 years in the Senate; Obama, 3 years in the Senate.
Amount of it spent running for President: 2+ years. Both were spoken of as potential candidates from before they entered the Senate, but that's not the same thing as actually running. Clinton spent at least four years keeping her head down and being senatorial; this has often been remakred.
Experience advising the President: Clinton, 8 years; Obama, zip.
Chutzpah: Clinton, enormous; Obama, enormous.
