"She Doesn't Need To Listen To Experts" (Updated w/ Video)

This from the Clinton campaign in response to criticism of her ridiculous pandering Gas Tax Holiday proposal.  

Huffington Post

"We believe the presidency requires leadership," said Wolfson. "There are times that a president will take a position that a broad support of quote-unquote experts agree with. And there are times they will take a position that quote-unquote experts do not agree with."

In a vacuum, this logic doesn't sound that bad but when you plug in the variables of Hillary Clinton and a post-Bush presidency and solve for competent honest leadership you end up with a negative integer.

Now, since math has never been central to the HRC campaign, we can look to the past for evidence of HRC's leadership.

...Health Care reform, Iraq...?? mehh...whatever this is an argument for elitists that have time to think about such things over Starbucks lattes.
     
I'm just happy to see that the George Bush School of Leadership has already produced such an estimable graduating class.  May America continue to reap the rewards from such visionary leaders, especially those who embrace such experts as Mark Penn, Bill "Olbiterate Iran" Kristol, Bill "Caucuses don't count" Clinton etc..

I mean even that hack Charles Gibson seems to confer.
