Looks like that fact checker feature must have turned itself off again, here, James...

You're not including those 8 years as First Lady of our nation. Obviously you need a refresher course in Clinton Math.

Meh- busted, I DID count into political experience her time as first lady........ I KNOW that is factually WRONG. So shoot me.

Nah- no more studying for me today. Am a medic-nerd badly enough as it is.

eight years of hiding subpoenaed and stolen documents counts for experience in my book

[Joana]

Still- if I let out the experience factor in the equation..... I STILL have the same prob, can't get "warm" with her, find him to "enthusiastic".

If I had to vote there you'd probably see me flipping a coin........

Elections coming here are a lot easier- find all parties involved here in the state unbearable atm and thus will make a BIG cross so my vote can not be given away via percentage.

Well, I respect that for sure....But what did she actually accomplish in those 8 years....or NOT accomplish?

And VERY important experience if you are in politics.

Who knows which political descisions of wee Bill she was involved on....... after all female tactics can go a long way.
All joking aside- I guess we can agree that she IS smart and that she HAS gone quite a way all on her own.

Ha! Nobody around here better talk about shooting Joana -- including you, Joana!

My, but that comment did bring 'em out of the woodwork on you rather quickly, didn't it?

But on the positive side for the Clinton campaign, they are evidently getting that part of their message all the way to Germany!

Of the First Lady part, I do think it's fair to count as experience her work with the Clinton health care matter, where she was clearly in charge of something, though she may prefer not to.

Obama strikes me as a decidedly non-German-compatible type of candidate. I imagine Clinton's approach would fall much more in line with a sort of stereotypical German perspective. Though I don't know, I'm obviously not German and such a claim could not avoid being a big generalization about the people there these days.

True, but she is not running on Bill's record...right?

I would also take the stand that even if she hadn't been in charge of anything (negative or positive.....) she WAS subject to the political world stage at that time, and I am sure she was not a first lady that was just there to show of her new dresses but followed the ongoings actively. That is experience of some sort to me as well.......not the active and in charge sort, true- but knowledge about how to play the game by watching and probably advising more than we know.
