Hillary is Far From Vetted
The argument that HRC is vetted and Obama isn't is a farce and the Republicans know it. The issue is Bill and what he’s been up to since 2001.

Well, last night she did say (about Wright) "this is a legitimate area, as everything is when we run for office, for people to be exploring and trying to find answers."
If EVERYTHING is a legitimate area for exploring, that gives her opponents permission to check out everything from old Whitewater claims to her communist bosses to Bill in Columbia, right? Obama's been being a gentleman (see the absence of commentary from him about the Tuzla adventure). That doesn't mean everyone else need be.

Well, everything except when the last time a gun was after you tell a story about your daddy teaching you to shoot behind the old family cabin. Because that's just not relevant. Neither is the last time you were in church. Look, you're a good God-fearing American and you take your spirituality like Robert Frost does, by strolling through the woods. Stop hassling and stick to the relevant issues, which is everything else.

Vetting Bill is a logical requirement of her First Lady experience argument. She essentially claims to have been something close to co-President with her husband. We should expect that Bill would serve a similar position with her. Just by being a former President he cannot play the role of a traditional Presidential spouse. To my mind, the Republicans have been laying very low on Bill's various business deals, contacts, donor lists etc... Does she really that these guys won't dive into everything he's done since he left office if she is the nominee?
