I think the Law Firms or likes of the Auditing (none / 0)

Firms work little differently than other companies where there is a single CEO or President. In a Law Firm it is the partners responsibility to bring in the business clientale. I'm not a lawyer or an expert in private practices that's my limited knowledge.

But definitely yes to what to you said about pre-office experiences for Obama and HRC.

DramAmicron, there is no comparison of experience on the national scene between Hillary and Barack.  To state otherwise is disingenuous.  Do I really need to remind you of Hillary's involvement in Nixon's impeachment?  Her bonafides since?
The nomination is settled.  The primary is over.  The conversation is now Obama and McCain (and, for purposes of this diary, some fool who posted a diary that is incoherent, at best, but who claims to be a yellow dem).

Er, what? (2.00 / 1)

Nobody's arguing with you.  I'm not denegrating what Clinton's done in her life, I was making a distinction over types of experience, and later admitted that it wasn't all that important in the long run.  

Why are you making fun of my name like a grade schooler?

Once you realize she's had more decision-making (1.00 / 1)

experience, you can safely conclude "it wasn't all that important in the long run."

I'm not talking to you.  I'm talking to Denny.

NANCY REAGAN FOR PREZ!!!! (1.00 / 1)

Clearly let us be consistent, I mean, she has governors wife experience and presidents wife experience, clearly the most qualified candidate.

Re: NANCY REAGAN FOR PREZ!!!! (2.00 / 5)

Being the Presidents wife is not experience to be president.  If I recall correctly, early in Bill's presidency she tried to be active and failed miserably.  Then she went back to the background and made some speeches and hosted dinners.

The argument on its face is silly, Hillary and Obama are both qualified, both gave different talents and abilities.  Both are natural born citizens over 35. But the claim that Being a Presidents wife qualifies one is silly.

Sexist sexist (none / 0)

Just evaluate her experience. Do not nullify years on her resume because she was somebody's wife. You set all women back when you do that.

I am not (2.00 / 2)

I am stating that being s presidents wife is not experience, it just isnt.  The work with Rose is, her time in the senate is, things she did on her own are. The being first lady argument is flawed at best.

Re: I am not (2.00 / 2)

I haven't seen anyone claim in this thread that being the president's wife counts as executive experience (although it certainly is some type of experience).
You can stop beating that dead horse now.
