Hillary not qualified

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. If fooled three times, you have been “Grubered.”

Jonathan Gruber was one of the architects of Obamacare. He said the American people were too stupid to understand Obamacare. The same thing can be said about the Gruber public who voted for President Obama, who had no experience in business, accomplished nothing as a politician and won only because he was black.

Now comes Hillary Clinton. Her people believe that she is qualified to be president. However, just like Obama, she has never run a city, county or state in her career. She does have eight years in the White House, but so does the pastry chef and dog walker. That doesn’t qualify them to be president unless they know how to lie and deceive the public, which will help.

So what did she accomplish as secretary of state? History will show nothing other than four Americans who died protecting the embassy in Benghazi under her watch. All she could say is, “What difference does it make?”

We don’t need another four years of Barack Obama wearing a pantsuit.
