Clinton Mocks Obama on Experience
Did not Hillary vote for the Iraq war when Obama opposed this fiasco? Did not Hillary vote to support giving Bush a green light to go after Iran when Obama opposed this? Are Democrats who support Hillary blind about her position on issues?
AP-Hillary Rodham Clinton ridiculed Democratic rival Barack Obama on Tuesday for his contention that living in a foreign country as a child helped give him a better understanding of the foreign policy challenges facing the U.S.
“Voters will have to judge if living in a foreign country at the age of 10 prepares one to face the big, complex international challenges the next president will face,” Clinton said. “I think we need a president with more experience than that, someone the rest of the world knows, looks up to and has confidence in.”
Clinton’s statement was prompted by a comment Obama made a day earlier when asked about his foreign policy credentials. He said his life experience gave him a better feel for international issues than most candidates gain from official trips to other nations.
He noted his father was from Kenya and that he himself spent part of his childhood in Indonesia. “Probably the strongest experience I have in foreign relations is the fact I spent four years overseas when I was a child in Southeast Asia,” he said Monday
