Hillary Clinton by Ted Sorenson's Definition is Ready to be POTUS

I was listening to a talk radio show briefly today where an African American personality (not Larry Elder) was angry at Rev. Wright for giving Obama grief because a black man "was dragging down another black man." And I thought, where is your outrage that BO was sitting listening to Rev. Wright for 20 years, allowing his children to listen to him? Where is your outrage that BO didn't distance himself from Wright 10 years ago, or after 911, or even 5 years ago? BO KNEW he was going to run for POTUS some day. His judgment is so poor that he couldn't even plan for his own run for POTUS and distance himself from Wright, Ayers, Rezko, Odinga, etc. so he could run without distraction. And why? Because he obviously feels he can tell a lie to get rid of any discrepancy in his background and has done so numerous times. Because he is arrogant in thinking none of this would matter. Because he obviously isn't making good judgments and thinking about the ramifications of anything he does. So instead of being mad at Wright for calling Obama out on his lies and disowning his association with Wright, maybe they should finally realize that BO is not ready (if ever!) to handle the high-pressure cooker job of POTUS where judgments are a critical part of the job every single day!

Ted Sorenson, JFK's speechwriter and closest advisor, has a book coming out soon and in today's PARADE magazine he was asked:

"What kind of experience do you think an effective President needs to have?"


His answer:

"Experience that is required to make judgments and decisions and answer tough questions under pressure. Kennedy had some of that from being in the war and from spending almost four years on the road testing Presidential waters. People say he had no executive experience, but I'll tell you that running a national campaign takes executive experience. It has a lot of similiarities in terms of the kinds of people you have to negotiate with, the kinds of people you have to stare down or run over."


And THAT, is exactly what Hillary Rodham Clinton has. Too bad Ted Kennedy didn't see the resemblance, because BO couldn't be farther from that description if he tried!
