Sweet Irony

If you've been following the democratic nomination, then you know about the war being waged between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Now let me lay down some knowledge that needs to be understood before I make my final point.
  • Hillary Clinton has been primarily using her "experience" to say that she deserves to be president. She thinks that her time in the white house as first lady, combined with her experience as a senator is a world of experience. Which is actually probably true to a point.
  • She has also said that the president of the United States needs to be "...Ready on day one" and her experience will allow her to do this.
  • Hillary has also expressed the notion that if she was given the nomination she'd have Barack Obama on her ticket for vice president.
  • She also considers Barack Obama not experienced enough to be president

Now props to my poly sci professor for revealing this contradiction: She doesn't want Barack Obama to be president because he isn't experience enough to lead the country on day one. Yet she wants him as her vice president, who very well may have to lead on Day 2 if anything were to happen. Hopefully he'd learn all he needs to know on Day 1.

I was even willing to give Ms. Clinton a chance. Recent weeks have really made her distasteful, even to my own forgiving nature.
