Hillary Clinton has made a point to highlight what she believes is her superior experience to deal with world crisis. Her recent ad clearly intimated that you won’t even have to worry about your own children if she’s in the White House dealing with a ‘big problem’ (which of course, means Terrorism).
Funny thing though – when a reporter asked her five star political team to name one foreign policy moment in Hillary’s career where she has been tested by crisis, they were caught completely off guard. There was nothing there.
Just as the surrogate for Barack Obama was similarly caught flat footed, both candidates have a vacant record on real foreign policy experience. John McCain could eat them alive on this subject, and you can bet the GOP will be sure to keep foreign policy on the forefront of the general election debate.
