It is strongly recommended that you include your outline in the body of your essay by using the outline as section titles. The headings below are there to remind you how section and subsection titles are formatted. | | | Her public service career is equally suspect. Twenty years as first lady have given her insight into the daily life of an executive. However, claiming such experience makes her a skilled executive is tantamount to claiming that a sports reporter improves his swing after covering the Red Sox or a historian studying the Kennedy White House would be skilled at negotiating an end to a nuclear missile crisis. Observing and doing are two very different things and, during her years as first lady, Hillary did not do much. In fact, her most important attempt at acting like an executive failed, resulting in our current health care crisis. | |

< | After leaving her husband’s shadow, Hillary’s time in the Senate has been similarly unremarkable. She has no major legislative accomplishments to speak of and her vote on the key issue of the past 8 years, authorizing the use of force against Iraq, has proven unpopular. Absent leadership on any major bill, it is hard to see how Hillary’s time the Senate has prepared her for the presidency since being present cannot count as experience. This indicates that, when Hillary speaks of “experience,” she is not inviting an analysis of her record. Instead, she is directing us to the prejudices that buttress her “experience” argument. | >
