UNIONTOWN, Pennsylvania - U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton wants voters to see the Democratic nomination race as an interview, and she says her resume of experience means she’s the right person for the job.
But the New York senator made light of the length of that interview process in her race against rival Barack Obama and said sometimes people make their decisions based on silly things — like hair.
“Consider this a job interview,” Clinton told a rally in Pennsylvania on Monday evening.
“If it’s a job interview, which I think it is — it’s one of the longest job interviews on record … you have to ask yourself, who would I hire?”
The New York senator’s preferred answer, of course: Hillary Clinton. But one thing she doesn’t want you to take into account is her haircut.
“If they don’t particularly like your hair style, they can vote for you or against you,” she remarked about job interviews in general, saying sometimes selections were based on fickle criteria.
Clinton was famous for changing her haircut during her years as first lady but has kept a fairly consistent style since joining the Senate and, more recently, running for president.
The race between Clinton and Obama, a senator from Illinois who wears his hair short, is likely to go on through at least June when the final state-by-state nominating contests are held.

Not only does she need to cover her gray, she need to get back in her rocker, apparently she fell off of it, in the midst of her lying job and bumped her head. If she can’t stay on her job setting on the rocker without lying and crying then Bill need to let Monica attend her , and let Chelsea continue to hide from the truth, cause all she knows is lies.
- Posted by sEANPart of Hillary’ resume:
- Posted by Nancy Sabet“She is the first New Yorker ever to serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee, working to see that America’s military has the necessary resources to protect our national security. She has visited troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and at Fort Drum in New York, home of the 10th Mountain Division and other New York bases, as well as at Walter Reed Military Hospital. She has learned first-hand the challenges facing American combat forces. Hillary passed legislation to track the health status of our troops so that conditions like Gulf War Syndrome would no longer be misdiagnosed. She is an original sponsor of legislation that expanded health benefits to members of the National Guard and Reserves and has been a strong critic of the Administration’s handling of Iraq.”
You can not blame Hillary for having a perfect 35 years of experience resume; just because you really can’t say any thing about Obama’s resume, his is empty.
- Posted by Nancy SabetMany people have misconstrued that Rev. Wright’s comments are unfounded that the “chicken has come home to roost”… in regards to pay backs for our horrendous foreign policy. I am an ex-pat living in Australia. when asked if I am an American, and I respond “Yes” - people give me a dirty look and walk away. And this was before the Bush error! Have any of you never heard of the “ugly American”? It may just surprise you that many people in the world do not want to live like Americans.
And that comes to Billary - in the 30 years that they have been in the public eyes, they have never taken the bold steps that Barack Obama has taken in the last few months. Nor have they ever promised to seek global reconciliation for America’s offences. How refreshing ti is to see someone as courageous as Kennedy seeking the White House again!
- Posted by MizuInOzSenator Clinton reminds me of those weary housewives who prefer to blame everything that goes wrong as somebody else’s fault. No, this election is about who would be a better candidate to lead America, not whether one candidate has better hair that attracts or not attracts the beholders. Perhaps, that’s why she’s painting her experiences with such misleading fantasies to attract voters, instead of telling the trutrh about her real worth. Truth works with educated voters; fantasies thrill for a short period, and serious voters don’t go for fantasies. Electing a President is serious task, not a Realty TV show in which participants get their few minutes of desired fame.
- Posted by Bilbo983i think America should wake up to reality. why do we condemn Rev Wright for the 911 remarks. when at the same time we admit that George Bush’s failed foreign policy has made us less safe.
- Posted by joe ombimait doesnt take a genious to know that our failed foreign policy is the reason why the anti american sentiment has grown across the globe. china, russia and even venezuala are getting allies against america
to fight global terror we need to adress the root cause.terrorism is an ideology you cannot fight ideology with abram tanks and f22s. its been seven years and weve lost thousands of lives and billions of dollars. we can only win if we change our image across the globe. Thats the definition of victory and Barack Obama has what it takes to do that. he is the only one who has openly admitted to negotiate with our enemies, change our image and make friends
hillary Clinton may have it..but she’s too intertwined in the old establishment shes made blatant lies about voting for the war..i know she is a fighter…but we need a negotiator some one who can TALK not FIGHT..sorry Hillary
we dont need sniper evasion experience either.
