Reply #38: I would never vote for Clinton, BUT she is correct in this...

Her experience as first lady DOES give her more experience than others. She lived the life, travelled the world as essentially a diplomat and got to see the White House run from the inside.

In the case of a "bank president", the bank president probably doesn't live at the bank and thus, the wife, who has some other job or is at home doesn't gain any experience from it by proxy... however, being first lady is something completely different.

With that said, this experience argument is crazy. The reason experience is valuable in most jobs is because the tasks are essentially repetitive, even being the CEO. Being President doesn't involve repetitive tasks, as the whole changes each day.
