Surprised?
No. Hillary Rodham Clinton does have experience, just not the type to which she would like to lay claim. Frankly, none of the three candidates has anything like the type of executive experience needed to "be ready on day one." Let's face facts here. We have a protracted occupation, a truly lousy economy and serious challenges in the areas of healthcare, immigration and education. I don't think anyone will be able to waltz in and wave a magic wand over the nation and make everything alright.
However, the problem for HRC is that she clearly feels that she needs to make these kinds of false statements just to stay in the game. I don't believe that she does or has ever needed to but she does and so do her advisors. The steady drip-drip-drip of "I misspoke" will not help drive voters to her cause precisely because it reminds them of one of the key problems of the Clinton years: dishonesty.
