35 Years?

Great article from CQPolitics.

"Clinton is 60, so if we assume that her 35 years were consecutive, they would have begun in 1973 when she graduated from Yale Law School at age 25. That year she joined the Children’s Defense Fund, an advocacy group for children.

But her math was way off when she claimed the difference with Obama is "35 years of experience." By our count, Obama, who is 14 years younger than Clinton, has three years of experience as a community organizer, four years as a full-time attorney handling voting rights, employment and housing cases, and 11 years in the Illinois Senate and U.S. Senate. That’s a total of 18 years. So the difference between Clinton and Obama is really 17 years. We rate her claim False."

I've mentioned some less than savorable aspects of her experience in my previous post. And this one does not really go into this. However, it does go into the comparison between her experience, and Barack's.

Clinton has been an activist for many liberal causes, but she has also been an activist for many corporate causes. By all accounts she, like Al Gore, are corporate liberals. Her voting record speaks for itself. Women, gays (kind of), minorities? I'm with you. Corporations? I'm with you. You want to build a car park where this forest is? I'm with you. 100%
