What we will do and say to gain power is amazing. Hopefully I never get the disopportunity.

4. I thought the same thing. Obama's lifetime being shorter doesn't invalidate his experience.

17. My thoughts are
Why is it that Senator Clinton can claim her entire life time as experience but Senator Obama is only allowed to claim one speech? Doesn't seem fair to me.

Raebrek!!!

8. You don't get to call it a lifetime unless you're over 60.
As far as I know.

10. But I thought Obama never did anything in his life except give a little speech in 2002?
That's the message Hillary seems to be sending.

11. And more to the point
Edited on Sun Mar-09-08 10:59 PM by rocknation
Since McCain has the longest lifetime of experience, isn't she admitting that McCain is better qualified than she is?

15. Not with Sinbad, though!
Yo, there is experience and experience in an individual's lifetime. Few of us, even those of us who are major politicians, can claim among our experiences a night in Kosovo with Sinbad!

Get real, folks: experience like this cannot be matched!

16. Yeah, I know - she's clearly misusing the word and it makes her sound stupid.
Unless she was drafting legislation in her crib?
