Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Qualifications
July 29th, 2007
Presidential qualifications. That’s what Decision 2008 should be all about, right? Well, what happens when all the leading candidates lack convincing qualifications? They go negative, with one candidate hoping voters will be convinced by the demolition ads attacking another, while ignoring his or her own deficits. That is one reason why the Clinton political machine is as happy as fish in the sea at the opportunity to get into a fierce skirmish with Barack Obama and his supposed politics of hope.
The street warfare now raging between the Obama and Clinton camps has not only tarnished Barack’s “above the fray” image; it has made Hillary Clinton appear to be the one who looks presidential. Even Obama’s legitimate (and correct) attack on Hillary’s pro-war vote has been delivered with such a lack of subtlety and finesse, it has proven to be an impotent blow.
Getting beyong her PR image, however, is Hillary Clinton ready to be commander-in-chief on Day One, as her campaign and website banners claim? Well, she is as ready as Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were on their first day in office. In reality, as detailed in my book, “Hillary Clinton Nude,” Senator Clinton lacks all the core competencies that are critical for America’s revival and sustainability as a great power. Let’s just consider one competency, and it has nothing to do with the Iraq war or foreign policy.
Many learned experts, includng senior congressional staff responsible for budget projections, have warned that the United States will risk devastating bankruptcy unless there are radical changes in American fiscal policy. Hillary Rodham Clinton has thus far remained silent on this critical and dire matter that will affect the future lives of all Americans. Now, why would the most qualified person in the nation be silent on such a matter, while devoting countless hours to planing a campaign song contest or taping a Sopranos-style video? The reason should be clear to anyone looking into the factual record of Hillary Clinton. She lacks any basic experience that would equip her intellectually to provide national economic leadership. Except for her brief but highly profitable (and suspect) involvement in commodities trading while her husband served as Arkansas governor, Hillary has had no significant business experience. In her capacity as a senator, she manages her office budget, but has never had responsibility for meeting a large government payroll. Her record reflects no profound understanding of economics at either the micro or macro level. Beyond cliches, she has never uttered any serious, unscripted words of wisdom that would convey an impression that she fully understands the nature of America’s looming economic challenges.
If Hillary lacks the basic understanding of the economic forces that threaten America, does she at least comprehend foreign and defense policy? Her vote in favor of the Iraq war, which she made without reading the National Intelligence Estimate that questioned Bush’s rationale for the war, answers that question.
Other than the deficits detailed above, Hillary Clinton is thoroughly qualified for the presidency, and I want ever American to know that.

If the Clintons get back in the White House, they will bankrupt America for good.

Hillary Clinton is as qualified to be president as I am to be Pope (and I’m not Catholic!).
