In response to the public calls for change the Clinton camaign came up with a new slogan, claiming that their candidate, Senator Hillary Clinton, has an asset which is more valuable than change, namely experience. Like every seasoned demagog she repeated this claim so many times that some people began to believe it. It is therefore natural to examine this claim and find out what experience she really has.
Personally Senator Clinton has a lot of experience being cheated and betrayed by her husband. In spite of this bad experience she decided to forgive him. It is thus natural to ask whether this experience is the what we need in a president Do we need a president who will forgive those who cheat and betray her? More importantly, how will such a president react to those who cheat and betray her (and our) country? Will she react "rationally" and let the culprits get away like her husband did with Osama Bin Ladin?
The other area in which Hillary Clinton has experience is failing. The only time that she was given some kind of responsibility was when her husband put her in charge of forming a national healthcare policy. This resulted in a miserable failure the price for which all of us are paying the price even today. Again, one has to ask whether we need a president who failed in the most important task which she took upon herself?
Finally, Senator Clinton gained a lot of experience in using her husband's prestige to serve her own political ambitions. This is exactly what she is trying to do right now, and the question which the American public needs to ask is whether we are willing to pay the price for her ambitions. It is going to be high.
