Hillary Clinton admitted her Bosnian story was somewhat of an exaggeration when she said, "I misspoke." We've all done it, said something that wasn't quite true or remembered an incident that didn't quite happen the way we stated that it did. But is this a larger issue for Hillary? Is she continually exaggerating her "experience"? Take the Bosnian incident for example, There is not a chance, not one, that the Secret Service would expose Hillary or Chelsea Clinton to even the possibility of sniper fire. She actually deplaned and had an 8 year old girl hand her flowers on the tarmac. Now maybe she had forgotten the incident and didn't remember the little girl, that's possible.
What isn't possible is her forgetting that men and women in the Secret Service pledge their lives to the office of the President and to the First Family. For her to claim otherwise or misspeak is not only disingenuous but reveals a truly ugly character flaw in Hillary Clinton. Is she willing to say or do anything to get elected? Is her "experience" actually that she is a more experienced story teller than Obama? She certainly isn't a more experienced truth teller.
The Clinton campaign likes to whine and complain that the media treats her unfairly and isn't hard enough on Obama. In this case she's the one that got a free pass from the media. Maybe its because most of members of the media has the same "experience" as Hillary, an upper-class background with an Ivy League education and the most dangerous thing they've ever faced is harsh language.
