Who cares so much about this? There is no candidate still running for the 2008 presidency who has "a lot" of foreign policy experience.

 
Empanda 2008-03-08 08:14:39 PM  
I would like to see the 24 hour networks start really looking into these claims of experience. Too many people get all of their news from TV.

The thing is that TWO of the candidates are running on the fact that they have experience. Silly-schizo-snarling-monster pictured is one of them.

 
savedbymonkeys [TotalFark] 2008-03-08 08:52:43 PM  
Looks like Hillary is going to have to eat crow of the whole "experience" issue. I wonder if she did the same on this pictured event?

Didn't somebody call her out on the Northern Ireland peace deal?

Honestly, Hillary's only foreign policy experience right now is being an enemy of the state by pursuing a scorched earth campaign not in anyone's interest.

I spend more time than is strictly sane with one of the 24 hour news channels on my TV. Thus far I haven't heard a peep about the Northern Ireland stuff. Not on CNN or MSNBC. However, it is the weekend. I'm sure Olbermann will skewer her on it Monday.

Yeah, but only one of them makes a big deal out of it. If everyone *knew* and admitted neither had experience, Hillary would be dead and buried long ago. She's riding an utter fiction.

To be fair, McCain has a lot of experience with the North Vietnamese.

Clinton has quite a bit of foreign policy experience. In the years she was on the board of directors at Wal-Mart, they quadrupled their imports from China.

Obama has spent three years on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. He has passed significant foreign policy bills (Lugar-Obama for one), and many amendments). He has traveled as a diplomatic representative to, among other nations, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kenya, and South Africa. He was a member of our nuclear site inspection team in Russia and the Ukraine.

His foreign policy experience trumps the heck out of Bush in 2000, Clinton in 1992, or Reagan in 1980. And, in my humble opinion, at least matches that of Hillary Clinton today.

 
Seabon 2008-03-09 12:00:32 AM  
I don't understand why people are still treating her so seriously? The math just isn't there. The only big state she can win is Pennsylvania, and she'll get at most 10-15 delegates there.

Even if you seat Florida and Michigan as they stand, the remaining uncommitted superdelegates would have to almost unanimously support her, and that's not going to happen, they're going to split at most 60/40 one way or the other.

The bottom line is, short of something HUGE happening, she simply can't win.

 
Seabon 2008-03-09 12:03:27 AM  
There was an article in Newsweek this week, the guy plugged in numbers that would be almost unreal, like Hillary winning Mississippi and North Carolina, and the math still didn't come up in her favor.

I can't say I'm surprised. This is big rating for them.

 
Churchill2004 [TotalFark] 2008-03-09 12:37:24 AM  
Her claim to "experience" over Obama is nonsense- but this picture isn't really proof of it. Somebody dig up that pic of Colin Powell making a fool of himself at that East Asia summit or wherever it was.

 
SomeoneDumb 2008-03-09 12:38:19 AM  
I was hoping for a pic of her holding a tray of coffee cups or serving tea to some old guys wearing funny hats. This yodeling picture is much better.

She was the governor there. I've been under the assumption that SNL panders to anyone with ties to NYC.

If I recall correctly, SNL was pretty hard on Kerry in 2004. Like, excessively hard on him - playing up his intelligence as being pretentious, for example. What a stupid trait to satirize, under the circumstances. They'd better not mess it up, this time. Maybe they underestimate the impact they have on the undecided and impressionable voting demographic.

McCain's got quite a bit. Not as an executive, no, but that's still a lot more than Clinton's got-- she mostly pushed domestic issues (which were horribly unsuccessful because she can't do politics properly to save her life) while her husband was in office. So, yeah, there's at least one candidate whose relative experience and overall competence aren't really an open question. Unfortunately, while he's a very independent Republican, he's still a Republican, so Bush is gonna make it an uphill push for him unless the Dems do something silly like nominate someone even more similar to George than he is.

 
robsul82 [TotalFark] 2008-03-09 03:29:00 AM  
The details on this week's SNL bashing of Obama was having Obama as president and having to call Hillary at 3 AM because he's so stupid he doesn't know how to do anything, from foreign matters to turning the White House heating system on.

 
Befuddled 2008-03-09 03:34:52 AM  
I am willing to give Hillary the benefit of doubt on the experience thing but does that mean if Obama wins the nomination, Bill and Hillary and all of the people that were in the Clinton administration won't help out if needed?

Remove all Republicans:
Frankly, the idea that they couldn't find an African-American comedian to play a significant national figure like Obama (who might potentially be the President) and instead are using a guy in blackface is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Is their plan really to use blackface to represent the President of the United States? That's such an insult to African-Americans (and should be to all Americans) everywhere.


But why? Obama's mixed race. I think Fred Armisen does a reasonable Obama. It's more about the way he speaks and carries himself than the makeup and costume. I don't remember women getting insulted when The Kids In The Hall used to portray women, or Monty Python did.

There's a big difference between a man wearing drag and a white man performing in black face.

Aarontology: There's a big difference between a man wearing drag and a white man performing in black face.

There's a big difference between having a white man perform in black face the part of a black man (and do a stereotypical portrayal), and having a white man perform in dark tan face the part of a half-white/half-black Presidential candidate.

Seriously, what do you want SNL to do? Hire someone who is half-black and half-white to simply do the Obama skit?

Some people complain about everything.

 
puffy999 [TotalFark] 2008-03-09 06:26:53 AM  
Remove all Republicans: They've been blasted in the past for not having minorities in their cast and instead of looking for good minority comedians, they are using blackface to further make them unnecessary.

That's funny. You act as if SNL looks for good WHITE comedians, which is obviously not the case.

I'm sad to see Obama's campaign stooping to her level, or close to it, with this leaking of a funny picture from abroad. Come on man stay out of the dirt. Hillary is a level 10 mudslinger, don't make it easier by jumping into the pit with her.

 
robsul82 [TotalFark] 2008-03-09 12:44:53 PM  
My problem isn't Armisen's blackface, it's that HE CAN'T DO AN IMPRESSION OF OBAMA. Seriously, it sucks and isn't even close to how he sounds.

I disagree, if he continues his 'above the fray' style, he's going to look weak and lose. The sad truth is that the American people fall for negative campaigning every single time.
