You Know... (5.00 / 1) (#150)

HRC also said she was sleep-deprived, and just said the wrong thing.  She wrote abt it in her book, and got the names mixed up.  That happens.  She wasn't reading a script, she was talking.  Like no one has EVER misspoke before?

The difference with Obama, though, is that he has INFLATED his resume on numerous occasions, and put it in PRINT.  That is a big difference to me.  If he got names confused or something when he was talking extemporaneously, that's one thing, and you just gotta let it go.  But that is not the case here.  His has been systematic.

The worst part of this is how this ONE misstatement of hers has been made the narrative for her lying abt ALL Of her experiences, and is being used to diminish ALL of her international experience.  There's even a poll abt this on AOL asking if this now puts to rest her saying she has MORE experience than Obama.  Most people are saying yes!  It is a logical fallacy, but it being used pretty well by the MSM and Obama camp.  Really frustrating.

part of her explanation given the 3 a.m. ad.  Sort of hilarious really.

the comments were actually written about her dodging bullets... she also said the same thing months earlier in Iowa... it was a lil more than a "misspeak"
