Frazier vs. Ali in Cleveland
Then she went on to lose the NAFTA round. Fact is, it was her husband who did the deal, and if she was against it, she didn't say so at the time, or until very recently. Desperate, she cited the testimony of David Gergen, of Harvard, for the proposition that she was a NAFTA foe. Gergen is a brilliant guy, but not a real vote-mover in Ohio.
Then the questioners got involved. Referee Russert, perhaps peeved at Clinton's attack earlier, called her to center ring to, in effect, inspect her gloves. She had made all kinds of promises about job creation in his hometown of Buffalo, but they had not materialized. Why should anyone believe her economic promises about the country?
Given the chance to say that Obama was NOT prepared to be commander-in-chief, Clinton once again flinched, as she did in Austin last week. She kept talking about her own qualifications, but didn't say the one thing that would have made headlines: that Obama was not up to the job.
Given the opening, Obama, who had been largely in a shell to that point, attacked her with a flurry of punches. Hillary was "ready on day one," he mocked—"ready to give in to George Bush on Day One. She facilitated and enabled this individual."
Standing eight count.
Clinton scored again by pointing out that Obama, a chair of a Senate subcommittee, held no oversight hearings on Afghanistan. He blithely acknowledged that fact, but pointed out that he was busy running for president. Clinton didn't accuse him of dereliction. Perhaps she sensed that it wouldn't work: what's more important than running for president?

Comment: NO ONE has the experience of a president unless they have been president.. The only experience Hillary has to bank on is being 1st Lady and she did nt "ANSWER THE PHONE AT NITE WHEN A CRITICAL CALL CAME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NITE.. Being a retired disabled Viet Nam ERA FEMALE vet I can tell u first hand how poorly Hillary treated her security staff with demeaning disrespectful treatment , trained poor friendly young daughter to "NOT ACKNOWLEGE" them as well as gave tongue lashings to her protectors on AIR FORCE ONE...in front of whom ever was present . The poor military staff got that nasty disrespectful, demeanor and yelling that she is MOST EXPERIENCED in dishing out. When the assignment of protecting the !st Lady of the Clinton presidency came up, the assignment was and IS considered the "PUNISHMENT ASSIGNMENT FROM HELL". The pilets were not even exempt. GOD HELP OUR UNDERAPPRECIATED MILITARY OF ALL BRANCHES" if she wins the presidency. BY the way, the EXPERIENCED WOMAN has no idea that the AMERICAN WOMEN MILITARY in AFGHANISTAN at BAGRAN AFB have to walk more than 1 mile to shower and use the "RESTROOM" not latrine, while "LOCKED AND LOADED, day and nite. No closer facility for women troops. Male troops do not do that, nor are the ogled or subject to "CAT CALLS from allied troops on AN AMERICAN AIR FORCE BASE IN 2008. I would be more than happy to back a woman running for president to contribute to America"s history for the right reason of course, BUT NOT THIS NASTY SCREAMING MIMI.....EVER!!!!!
