But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express...

Everyone knows that Hillary loves to brag about here 35 years of experience helping people and how Obama is all talk and has no detailed plans. And everyone knows that Barack has generally let this slide unchecked--far too long in my opinion. Well, after Texas and Ohio he finally made some comments that I hope get some traction.

He simply raised the question of her experience. He asked that she be vetted on this experience that she claims to have. That she offer some proof of her critical decision-making while she was in the White House. Hillary is so quick to dismiss Obama's time in the Illinois legislature and pounce on his 'present' votes, yet during all of her years of 'experience', she was never accountable to anyone. She was not elected. She did not have to vote on policy. She did not once have to stick her neck out for anyone.

Meredith Vieira brought this up way back on January 2nd, but I cannot understand why Hillary is getting such a pass on it.

I am not saying Hillary is a liar, at least not on this post, but I just think that she needs to be held accountable to the claims she is making. Al Gore claimed to invent the Internet and no one has forgotten it. Alexander Haig claimed he was second in the line of succession to the Presidency and people still talk about it. How is it that Hillary can claim her role as First Lady gives her more experience than being a state legislator, but no one wants to bring it up?
