I've heard Clinton supporters say that "experience" is the biggest issue to them, which is why they like Hillary instead of Obama. Ironically, she has no real experience, she just perpetuates this lie of "35 years of experience" until people start believing her. Thirty-five years takes you back to 1973, while Hillary was still in law school. During her husband's two terms in office, Hillary did not hold a security clearance, did not attend meetings of the National Security Council, and was not given a copy of the president's daily intelligence briefing. During trips to Bosnia and Kosovo, she acted as a spokeswoman for American interests rather than as a negotiator. On military affairs, most of her experience derives not from her White House years but from serving on the Senate armed services committee.
