Papers show Clinton's days as first lady
By CALVIN WOODWARD, Associated Press Writer
Her Democratic presidential campaign released a statement Wednesday saying the schedules spanning her two terms as first lady "illustrate the array of substantive issues she worked on" and her travel to more than 80 countries "in pursuit of the administration's domestic and foreign policy goals."
Clinton says her years as first lady would help equip her to handle foreign policy and national security as president.
But the schedules show trips packed with plainly traditional activities for a first lady as well as some substance.
For example, in her January 1994 visit to Russia with her husband, her schedule is focused on events with political wives. She sat in on a birthing class at a hospital, toured a cathedral and joined prominent women in a lunch of blinis with caviar and salmon.
The Clinton campaign said the schedules are merely a guide and don't reflect all of her activities.
Yeah.... that looks like Serious Diplomatic Training to me!
Seriously, though. Can we really really drop this "experience" discussion yet?
