Again. How many terms did Obama have? I think have seen you say you thought he has been a good president. Are you comparing apples to apples or is Hillary already a rotten tomato in your mind.

I think you are working your dislike for her too much. I bet if you go through the history books you might find she has a lot more political background than many of our fine Presidents.

And don’t discount her in the Whitehouse, She was not just a first lady. She was active. Don’t you remember Hillary care? And what about her law background?

Obama was widely recognized for his lack of experience in DC. Never been a Mayor, Congressman, or Governor. I never said experience was the predictor of success. I named it pretty carefully as one facet among others, named in above comments. Temperament, IQ. I do remember Hilary care, also commented above. Still prefer a utility model to single payer should we get to move past the ACA as is. A law background is a plus, but also very common among legislators with many terms behind them.
Is middling such a negative term when one considers less like Obama or more like career long Legislators or Governors then Senate? Think Ted Kennedy. Harry Reid. Jerry Brown. Four term Gov, plus mayor of a tough town.

Elephant in the room-Trump. That shadow seems to darken even a sincere shot at an objective look at Hilary in a context other than comparative. I’m trying to address HRC apart from all the rest, or perhaps as compared to what I might have preferred, also not available at all this time around.
