Loading ...Well… that’s not what she REALLY said, but what she REALLY said was something equally idiotic and juvenile. Her point was, she once watched a surgeon perform triple bypass surgery on The Learning Channel, so she is now more qualified to perform open heart surgery than Barack Obama is because he’d prefer to watch a Chicago Bears game. Using the same logic, Barack Obama’s more prepared to take Brian Urlacher’s place than Hillary Clinton is, if for no other reason than she doesn’t know what number the Bears linbacker wears on his jersey, NOR has she ever watched him play the game. But, hey — she’s observed a “Commander-In-Chief” for years, so she’s “QUALIFIED” to take a REAL one’s place.
“Experience”
I don’t think I’ve missed ANY episodes of Seinfeld or Mash. On the other hand, I am not so egotistical to believe I could ever make people laugh on live television NEARLY as much as the Seinfeld, Cheers, or Mash crews were able to do. Why? Because I’m not a comedic actor, I just love watching them perform. I’m about as funny as a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest; they are genuinely funny. They’re pros, I’m an amateur. Hubby, “Bill” ws a pro; his wife was, and still IS… an amateur.

Clinton: I’ve crossed commander-in-chief threshold
By Rick Pearson
In a Cabinet-style setting, surrounded by retired military leaders, Sen. Hillary Clinton said the public should ask whether Democratic presidential rival Barack Obama has met the criteria needed to become the nation’s commander in chief.
“I think that since we now know Sen. (John) McCain will be the nominee for the Republican Party, national security will be front and center in this election. We all know that. And I think it’s imperative that each of us be able to demonstrate we can cross the commander-in-chief threshold,” the New York senator told reporters crowded into an infant’s bedroom-sized hotel conference room in Washington.
“I believe that I’ve done that. Certainly, Sen. McCain has done that and you’ll have to ask Sen. Obama with respect to his candidacy,” she said. …”
“Experience”? “Co-Presidency”? What a SHAM.
My lovely wife runs a bookstore. I watch her in action a couple of minutes a day a couple of times a week. She’s good. I’ve learned a LOT. On the other hand, I PROMISE you, you do NOT want ME running YOUR bookstore. My first order of “bidness” would be to move all those “girly” mags out from behind the cashwraps and place them on display near the front door so the guys will see them when they first walk in and — BOOM! — record sales in that SKU. Good for “bidness”, bad for reputation — in walk the Feds. Cuffs. Media. Oops.
And, that’s where I see Sir Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton’s so-called “experience” getting us if we are “Sheeple” enough to give her a whirl…

Didn’t I see Obama and Rezko on American Idol doing the Obama Side Step???
Obama’s 17-Year Relationship With Alleged Fixer
Obama’s Relationship With Alleged Fixer Goes Back 17 Years

CHICAGO
Real estate developer and fast-food magnate Antoin “Tony” Rezko spent years pouring thousands of dollars in campaign contributions into Barack Obama’s climb from the Illinois legislature to Capitol Hill and helped him raise tens of thousands more.
But these days Rezko is snared in a nasty political scandal and facing a federal corruption trial that begins next month. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton invoked his name and his “slum landlord business” in a debate with Obama on Monday. A plainly embarrassed Obama has been sending the campaign money to charity in an effort to distance himself from the Chicago businessman, including $41,000 over the weekend.
The Democratic presidential hopeful has also been forced to explain how Rezko got tangled in the purchase of the Obama family home and other ties to Rezko some of them going back more than 15 years. If federal prosecutors are right, his ties to Rezko may even mean Obama’s campaign unwittingly accepted money generated by illegal activities.
Obama, who has a spotless reputation after 11 years in public offices, has been accused of no wrongdoing involving Rezko or anyone else.
Nevertheless, the former state legislator and first-term U.S. senator seemingly missed plentiful warning signs that Rezko was headed for trouble with the law.
“The senator exhibited some bad judgment in continuing the relationship once it became clear that Tony Rezko had such serious clouds overhead,” says Cindi Canary, director of the nonpartisan Illinois Campaign for Political Reform.
The facts of the relationship between the two men have been public record for more than a year and so far haven’t hurt Obama with voters. He is considered a favorite, along with Clinton, in the fight for their party’s nomination.
Whether the matter will fade in the heat of a national campaign or turn into a headache for Obama in the months ahead is anybody’s guess.
State Sen. Christine Radogno, a Republican, said voters are guaranteed to hear more about Rezko if Obama continues to make headway on the campaign trail.
“Obviously, the better he does, the more scrutiny he receives,” Radogno said. “So I think there is going to be some discussion of that.”
State Sen. John Cullerton, a Democrat, said voters will realize that Obama is blameless and that the only one charged with corruption is “this Rezko, who thank God I’ve never met.”
“He was a guy with money who glommed onto up-and-coming young politicians like Barack,” Cullerton said.
Most people probably agree that Hillary’s “experience” does not really qualify her to be President. But who would be more qualified? To try another analogy; Who would be more qualified to repair a car…
(1) I saw my husband fix a car once (Hillary)
(2) I heard people fix cars (Obama)
(3) I haven’t fixed any cars yet but I’ve done repair work on motorcycles (McCain)
don’t forget:
(4) judges you while you change his tire for him (F&B)
I’m troubled by some of Hillary’s “justifications” for her having more qualifications. It was her husband that violated the War Powers resolution, and, according to interviews in 1999, she had some input on that. I don’t want a President who violates Domestic and International law to involve us in an invasion that we have no justification for getting in.
