I understand the "basis" of the joke. Below is the contrast between Hillary and Obama, take a look for yourself. She is claiming executive experience, because she has that, in spades. She was on the BOD of walmart, she was the first female senator from an important state, she was listed as one of the top lawyers in the nation before her husband was elected in 1979 and again in 88-91. This makes her an executive. The fact that you never bothered to look at her background, along with all those dopes in New Hampshire, is why she won.
As an democrat my hope is that one candidate emerges- either Obama or Hillary. Hillary has much, much, much more professional experience but I like both candidates. What I don't want is a dog fight and thats what it looks like we have- because men cannot comprehend that being on the BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF WALMART and one of the top lawyers in the nation qualifies her as an executive, and overshadows some stupid role as first lady.
Hillary:
-first student EVER to speak at commencement exercises for Wellesley College.
-first female partner at Rose Law Firm in 1979 (BEFORE Bill was governor- he was elected on HER star power)
-listed as one of the one hundred most influential lawyers in America in 1988 and 1991
-BOD of Walmart and other corpoate boards
-elected to the United States Senate in 2000, the first time an American first lady ran for public office and the first female senator from that state
-re-elected by a wide margin in 06
Obama:
-graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, Obama worked as a community organizer, university lecturer, and civil rights lawyer before running for public office
-Obama delivered the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention while still an Illinois state legislator
-elected to the U.S. Senate in November 2004 with a landslide 70% of the vote |
