Living in the White House is foreign policy experience?

Speaking at George Washington University, Hillary Clinton chided Barack Obama for what she said was a lack of experience that could rival a Bush administration that had a strategy based on “false choices and then is indifferent about the consequences — force versus diplomacy, unilateralism versus multilateralism, hard power versus soft.”

“We’ve seen the tragic result of having a president who had neither the experience nor wisdom to manage our foreign policy and safeguard our national security,” she said. “We can’t let that happen again.”

Clinton cited her experience in the White House with her husband during times of crises as well as her service as a two-term New York senator on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

We wonder if this means that any staffer or maintenance person in the White House during Bill Clinton’s presidency is qualified on foreign policy as well?

Her remarks were the latest example of trying to leverage the unpopularity of President Bushamong Democrats and independents onto Obama.

She has accused Obama’s campaign of using Republican-like tactics to attack her on health care and trade.
