Hillary was in such a rush to point out Barack Obama’s obvious inexperience in matters of Presidential leadership that she forgot her own position just a year ago on the topic in question. I guess what he lacks in potential political leadership, she more than makes up for in experience being the consummate politician.

Here’s what she said on August 3, 2007, in criticizing Obama’s declaration that he would takes nukes off the table…

But Senator Clinton says the nuclear option can never be taken off the table. “Presidents since the cold war have used nuclear deterrents to keep the peace and I don’t believe that any president should make any blanket statements with respect to the use or non-use of nuclear weapons.”

But here’s what she said on the subject on April 11, 2006:

Asked about reports that the Bush administration was considering the use of tactical nuclear weapons against Iran, she said, “I would certainly take nuclear weapons off the table” as an option.

So she thinks “the nuclear option” can never be taken off the table, but she would “certainly take nuclear weapons off the table”…

Clear now?
