Hillary questions her own candidacy, promotes McCain
Hillary Clinton’s desperation is evident in her increasingly biting, and often silly, attacks on Barack Obama. Clinton suggested this week that Obama has been running for President since he got elected to the Senate. “How did running for President become a qualification for being President?” she asked.
Well, you tell us, Hillary. The ONLY reason Clinton ran for Senate from New York, a state she’d never lived in, was because New York gave her a great launching pad for a presidential campaign. She was running for President not just from the day she was elected to the Senate, but from the day her husband was sworn in as President. And by the way, how did being married to the President become a qualification for being President?
On Monday in Iowa Clinton made my favorite criticism of Obama yet: “”You decide which makes more sense: to entrust our country to someone who is ready on day one to make the decisions and the changes we need, or to put America in the hands of someone with little national or international experience who started running for president as soon as he arrived in the United States Senate?”
In other words, vote for John McCain.
Really, if Clinton is going to suggest that Americans want the person most ready to be President on Day 1, which includes immediately taking charge of the war effort and dealing with our most pressing national security threats, she’s just making the case for McCain. No other candidate even comes close to passing that test. And to say that we should vote for that candidate over someone who started running for President from his first day in the Senate is to again make the case for McCain over herself in a general election.
