Daily Kos: Job titles do not necessarily equate to accomplishments or qualifications [View all]

I have posted about my three reasons why Hillary is not my candidate: her Iraq War advocacy; her "racially-tinged" 2008 primary campaign against Obama; and her role in propagating the DLC gospel.

While searching for something else, I got linked to a Daily Kos article citing a different three reasons why, according to that poster, Hillary should never be President.

One of the points made by the Daily Kos article (rather harshly) was that having a job does not necessarily mean that one accomplished anything while holding the job. So, I did some quick research myself and then I asked in this group for Hillary's accomplishments as a senator and as secretary of state. I did not get much by way of specific things for which she was clearly responsible.

In fact, one DUer said it didn't even matter if she had accomplished anything as Secretary of State!

I had forgotten about the daily kos article until I watched on DU this morning a video of Mark Halperin interviewing Democrats in iowa While some claimed that Hillary's stint as Secretary of State meant she had foreign policy expertise, none of them could answer Halperin's question about her accomplishments while Secretary of State.

I think that, if Hillary makes it to the general, more and more will be made of all three points cited in the Daily Kos article. Will anyone be so indelicate as to point them out during the primary? Dunno.
