What Barack should do: Challenge Hillary to a Foreign Policy/National Security Debate
Hillary proclaims have more foreign policy/national security experience than Obama. Obama should challenge her on it.

I would love to know what tough foreign policy decisions Hillary has had to make regarding national security other than her Iraq War (which she still cannot apologize for).

Strategically, this makes sense for Obama also. It will allow him to distinguish himself from Hillary and let the voters decide who has better policy ideas.

I want to see an hour or hour and half debate on this matter to find out what Hillary's foreign policy experience really is other than voting for the Bush-McCain-Cheney War.

1. I agree.
They'd have to have really good, respected, competent interlocutors, tho.

7. She's only good at repeating what her advisors have told her......
they both sit in committees, so I'm not sure why you think she'd be that much better than Obama. It's like, was she a General in a war or something? You think Obama isn't smart enough of something?

5. The only point would be to drag her down to his level of experience.
I say he should attack her on her "experience" as a whole.
