The emperor has no clothes and Hillary doesn’t have all that experience she claims.
The New York Times reports:
For all her years on the public stage, Mrs. Clinton has never come close to assembling and running an enterprise like the 700-person, $170 million-and-counting campaign organization that she has created. At times, her aides made assumptions about tactics and voters that turned out to be wrong. They nearly ran out of money at all the wrong times, like just after Mrs. Clinton’s victory in the New Hampshire primary and right before the 22 state nominating contests on Feb. 5.

LLook, I’m afraid of both the democratic candidates but I am really surprised at how poorly Hillary’s campaign has been run, while Barack just seems to keep clicking along. I thought with all the experience in campaigning that she has, both with her own campaign and with Bill’s campaigns, that she would be kick the strategic pants of Barack by now. This is the exact reason I didn’t vote for John Kerry. If you can’t lead a campaign staff then what makes me think you are capable of putting together an administration that will defend the country. McCain had a few stumbles along the campaign trail but in the end he won by correcting his errors. I don’t believe a word any one of these candidates are saying, I’m watching what they do. Campaigning is a tuff test but a good test of character, leadership, and organization acumen. May the best person win.

I’m not as surprised because Barack Obama has been in political office longer than Hillary Clinton. I’d expect that he has more experience from the campaigns he has won in the past and by learning from the campaigns he has lost. He also has organizing and voter mobilization experience that shifted the political dynamics in the city of Chicago.
I wouldn’t expect Nancy Reagan or Laura Bush to be better than him.

Hillary lacks leadership which is a core criteria for managing massive complex issues/organizations or projects.
This is precisely why she made such a collosal failure of health care where she organized 500 folks into 35 committees and proceed to create havoc and chaos.
War is also a massive complex problem that would not be well managed with Hillary as Commander in Chief.
For all of her intellect Hillary lacks leadership, judgment and a track record of getting things right. Experience does not improve her performance as she repeats the same mistakes over and over.
She also hampers and overrules those she puts in key decision making roles despite their track record of performance surpassing her own…thus her campaign is a total wreck.
Hillary is very much like Bush..she rewards loyalty over competence. Doyle-Solis should have been fired after she wasted 36M in HRC’s Senate campaign.
