What I'd like Clinton to explain...
is why experience is so vital to a successful presidency.

I recall that Bill (when elected at the age of 46) had even LESS foreign policy experience than Obama does at the same age, and had LESS time in Washington than Obama does, yet he seemed to do all right...hmmmm.... :dilemma:

1. It's vital because it's the only thing she has (appears to have.)

2. She has less elected experience than Obama. Her resume is full of holes.

14. You are right
And Obama needs to point out all those "holes" in her claim to be the most experienced.

3. I'd like for her to explain her experience in more detail......
Clinton's '35 years of change' omits most of her career: http://www.mcclatchydc.com/homepage/story/26377.html

4. He ran on the economy
Remember? He made no maginations about foreign policy..problem is, Obama has no experience in anything but getting better wages for poo rpeople and great houase shopping skills.

it's the experience stupid...and he does not have it.

11. But the argument is
...that you must be ready ON DAY ONE to deal with foreign crises in order to be President.

Bill was not. Unless she's ready to denigrate her husband's Presidency...

And as to Obama's experience, try some actual research to cure your ignorance. Here's a start:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama
and another:

5. The difference is that Bill was GROOMED for that position by Jackson Stephens
who bankrolled the Clintons careers in Arkansas as well as his campaigns, including the underwriting of Bill's primary campaign.

Stephens staked WalMart, and brought the terrorist bank BCCI into this country as part of his BCCI dealings with GHWBush.

GHWBush expected to be impeached after the release of the Dec 1992 BCCI report.

9. Being in charge of organizing state dinners and decorating
the White House Christmas tree isn't executive experience.
