Isn't Hillary *Borrowing* All of Bill's Successes As President?

[Barack_America]

She's taking his accomplishments and calling them her own, is she not?

How can you possibly argue that a few speech snippets shared between friends is greater evidence of "theft" than that?

Please strive for a little perspective and keep your phony *outrage* to yourselves.


FYI, Here's Patrick's statement on the "incident":

"Senator Obama and I are long-time friends and allies. We often share ideas about politics, policy and language," Patrick said in the statement. "The argument in question, on the value of words in the public square, is one about which he and I have spoken frequently before. Given the recent attacks from Senator Clinton, I applaud him responding in just the way he did."

1. Well, with her in the House, it's either Bill's third term,

or Hillary's third term...

During the 1990s, everyone was saying how Hillary was the power in the White House.

Funny how those same people aren't making the claims today...

2. Bill who? n/t

[Barack_America]

3. That guy chained up to her porch.

;)

4. And for the same reasons she should share his failures as her own

-NAFTA
-DOMA/Don't Ask, Don't Tell
-Welfare Reform
-Media Consolidation

Just some of the reasons why another Clinton Presidency would just be more capitulation to the right.

5. Hilliary does not fail.

People (like Bill, Bush, Patti Solis-Doyle, etc.) fail her.

6. Bill's record is Hillary's record...

her 'battles' with the GOP were fought as a first lady, but I don't recall her winning too many of them. There may be some that have fallen for that often repeated 'experience' line, but I think that many are waking up to the fact that there is no there there.

When told Hillary Clinton has experience because she has 8 years in the white house, Dick Morris stated “so has the pastry chef”.

[Barack_America]

8. Lol. And maybe the pasty chef actually had security clearance.

Hillary didn't.

11. It would be interesting...

to do a side by side comparison on who 'governed' better...or who had more success.

7. Patrick is a miserable failure. The fact that BO "borrows"

from him is telling. Talk about setting the bar low

[joeybee12]

9. Nice try, but no, reminding people of her husband's accomplishments...

...is not the same as using someone else's stump speech and pretending it's original.

[Barack_America]

10. She isn't just "reminding" them of Bill's accomplishments. She's taking them as her own.

Is she or is she not claiming Bill's Presidency as a portion of her "35 years of experience"?
