Does Laura Bush deserve to be President as much as Hillary?

This has to be judged on a case by case basis. Hillary's experience as first lady was to sponsor/push a failed health care initiative and failed education initiative. During Bill's second run for President Hillary said she was a simple house wife, which she repeated during White Water investigations when she said she couldn't understand complicated legal documents that had been put in front of her to sign.

While, I'm sure, the President often speaks to his wife about his issues, they are not able to discuss significant security issues, or have the first lady at daily briefings and normal cabinet meetings. While Clinton gave his wife the opportunity to work and design a health care proposal, she was not using the government agencies as much as working with private pay insurance agencies and pharmaceutical agencies, the end result was her plan was a dismal failure, and was not supported by either party.

She herself claimed she was just a housewife, when confronted with issues by prosecuters, but then turns around and says she was right with her husband making decisions.

It is also funny how when having Bill Clinton beside her helps her campaign she pulls him onto the stage, but when he is bringing her down in the polls, she pushes him off the stage to the back.

At one point, she stated he would be a "key adviser", and when he caused her polls to drop, she stated she would "make the decisions."

Basically, she does have 7 years as a senator, but most of the candidates have more experience than that.

Next thing we will see her on stage in Monica's Blue Dress.

At least Laura Bush knows how to be a gracious and respected First Lady! Say what you want about her husband's choices, she has been great in her role, just as Barbara Bush was great in the role before her.

If Laura would run for the Senate win and serve for almost eight years with a good record, I would consider voting for her. Being First Lady teaches you a lot about how Washington works, and brings you in contact with international leaders, even if you are not as involved as Hilliary was. She would certainly be as qualified as most of the front runners today. Why do people think woman have to be the best qualified person but will support men who are not?

The arguement that absolutely makes my blood boil is when people say Hillary will make a good President because her husband was a good President.

Sure, as first lady, she gets to see a perspective that few other people will see. She is the only candidate that has any real first hand knowledge of the life of a President.

However....

My wife is good at mudding, taping, and sanding drywall. I've worked at remodeling houses and have a good concept of most anything that could need to be done in a house. However, for the life of me, I can not mud, tape, and sand drywall. I just can't make it look good. My wife has shown be how and tried to teach me, but I am still no good at it. No matter how good my wife is at it, I still suck.

So because my wife is good at working with drywall, does that mean I am to? Obviously not. Just because Bill Clinton was a good President, does that mean his wife will be as well?

Sure First lady counts for something, but not much. It shouldn't count for anything near what real job experience does. In that aspect, Hillary is really lacking. I don't think I can bring myself to vote for her personally....I'm not sure Obama is much better.

even as you're thanking bill,& Al the international warming professional? i'd like to thank x-Pres. Carter for giving freely the panima canal, exposing our secret listening submit in Japan that ought to hear each and every of the Soviet pilots as they talked to Moscow or anybody else so as that they could comprehend to and the thanks to shop us from understanding what the Soviet Union became as a lot as in any respect situations. I mean, is it major that all of us comprehend what a usa dedicated to our distruction with 10,000 Nukes pointed at united statesA. does't comprehend that we knew what they were asserting or doing? what's ten thousand Nukes to be apprehensive about? A bridge falls, 5 human beings get killed and each and every of the media can communicate about is a bridge falling. yet after we've ten thousand Nukes pointed at us the Media see's fit to alow a President be ask no questions nore demands our safe practices. what form of fiduciary questioning is that. My wager is individuals favor to die as our presidents favor to play some form of Russian rulet with our lives and nationwide securities. yet boy oh boy, we particular love those sport playing play boy bunnies. Boy bunnies. he's 0.5 of u . s . a . of america's hero. A farmer that ought to favor to have stayed that way. Is it the activity that makes Presidents wacko? by technique of ways, 10,000 Nukes ought to kill each and every man or woman in u . s . a . of america 6 situations. examine my lips=stupid faith in authority is the worst enemy of actuality. An previous guy suggested this, his call became Einstien. Our worst enemy is us. An previous guy suggested this-=me. ought to we please have a mind as President =none wacko.

Surely. Any first lady has known what her husband had been doing as the leader of the most powerful nation. That alone is a big experience. Add to this the different functions she had done as wife of the President and other designations. It's only a question if Laura will join politics or not.

I don't think Hillary ever had a job except for the one in New York. She's basically a homemaker.
