In listening to the speechs made by each canidate over the last weeked I think HIllary has the most experience so far this year in thinking about solutions, after listening to what people have to say.
She was speaking about a number of ways to solve progrems, where as Obama was giving a long speech about what is wrong and that we need to change, with no ideas of his own about to to make that change.
She has what is called the best "roller desk file" of important names of people and who to call to get things done in Washington and around the world.
Needless to say none of the canidates have experience directing military activities or acting as a President, but a least Hillary has some insight into what that is all about, being she was a first lady and could sit in on a number of coversations her husband had with local and world leaders, and so she is comfortable in doing that and knows what to expect.
The average voter often votes for a President who can best voice what they wish to gripe about and what they might hope for. Obama is good at doing that. But Hillary, has solutions that she has been working on for ages, she started working on ideas for better health care even before Bill Clinton became President, and she is interested in working hard and getting things done, more so then working on how to write flowering speeches. Plus, she does have the back-up experience of Bill Clinton who was in fact a two term President, we cannot totally count out that factor.
Although Obama is sometimes supported because he would be the first black person ever elected for that position, which would be a change, he is still a man and thinks like any other male, not much different then how white men think. Women have a certain kind of quite wisdom that is unique to their gender, which we have never experienced in American politics until recently. I sort of like how the intelligent women frame things in the way the think, and what they advocate on the whole, along with their determination. That kind of experience no man can have. But I do not like the way all women think because they can get pretty cold and judgemental with their gossip and no one wants to get on the nagging side of a woman's wrath. But I think Hillary has that under control. She seems to be happy and upbeat most of the time.
So when Hillary talks about being ready on day one I think she is talking about her experience that was gathered together by planning ahead, and by being familar with the workings of the White House, and poltics in Washington.
Obama has been it the Senate for one term and beyond that has little to offer in the way of experience, other then as a social worker for a church. Which outreach program did not really change Chicago that much.
