Just the latest in what I'd been reading into this thread, both sides of the issue, and I just felt the need to say something about it.
Though she wasn't elected, she's been very active for three decades (prior to becoming first lady) in national and state politics, most notably in the arena of public health, though she was also practicing law at the time - so it wasn't a full-time position.
Go look it up.
I don't agree with the lady and would vote for Obama in a heartbeat over Clinton. In fact, I already liked him. But, I do consider the time she spent making decisions and pushing for things I didn't like, whether as an appointee to various committees or the experience she gained as First Lady, to constitute as experience.
This election is so not even awesome. For all the mudslinging I have seen in campaigns past, I never felt like the petty BS that comes along with campaigning has sucked the life out of me like this campaign. Seriously, the news switches to politics and I contemplate suicide. OK, I'm being overly dramatic, but I die a little inside. I'll probably vote for Obama but this campaign is just too much bleh for me.
