Fiorina to Clinton: ‘Flying is an activity, not an accomplishment’
Fox News ^ | February 25, 2015

Posted on 02/25/2015 4:01:31 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO who is flirting with a Republican presidential bid in 2016, took some tough shots Tuesday at the likely Democratic front-runner – effectively accusing Hillary Clinton of running for office on a record of air travel.

"Like Hillary Clinton, I too have traveled hundreds of thousands of miles around the globe,” Fiorina said. “But unlike Hillary Clinton, I know that flying is an activity, not an accomplishment.”

Fiorina spoke in Atlanta at a luncheon hosted by Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp. It marked at least the second time in as many months she has gone hard after Clinton; Fiorina previously criticized Clinton during an address last month at the Iowa Freedom Summit in Des Moines.

On Tuesday, Fiorina said that despite Clinton’s extensive travel as secretary of state, “every place in the world is more dangerous today than it was six years ago."

She also went after Clinton over recent reports on how the Clinton Foundation had lifted its own ban on foreign donations, and potential conflicts of interest that could arise from that should Clinton run for the White House......."

I'm going to toss this out here for discussion:

2016: Scott Walker/Carly Fiorina

Listen to this interview and see if you think she'd compliment Walker - and with the chops to go after Hillary.

Bret Baier's Interview: The Presidential Contenders: Carly Fiorina

Her history

Her father - Joseph Tyree Sneed, III: "Sneed was part of a controversial three-judge panel that replaced Whitewater special prosecutor Robert B. Fiske with Kenneth Starr in 1994."

No selling influence there

Walker/Cruz or Cruz/Walker, either way you have a winning team who will take this country back.

My gut feeling is that she leans rino, but in any case I think the rat VP candidate will be latino Obama, Julian Castro.

Based on how badly she ran HP, I don't want to see her anywhere near a national executive position.

Listen to the video interview - she doesn't sound rino to me. It's about 9:00 minutes and she covers a lot of territory.

Fiorina is a much better choice than the Marxist America-hating old hag.

She talks about that impression. Watch the interview to see if it makes sense.

She certainly could point that out w/o being called sexist and accused of "waging a war on women."

Associating “Hillary” with “accomplishment” is like associating “accomplishment” with “Benedict Arnold.”

relying on Fiorina for anything, much less a dressing-down of Hillary, is downright scary.

Fiorina destroyed HP.

If so, that gives him double diversity points, and H*****y would find him particularly attractive.

“...The situation isn’t entirely HP’s fault. Giant decade-long outsourcing contracts have gone out of vogue these days. Companies today are using more cloud computing, buying apps as a service, and updating their data centers to be less expensive and more efficient, a trend called hybrid computing.

But HP is also facing a ton of competition for this highly lucrative hybrid computing work from old competitors like IBM and new ones like Red Hat.....”

Given a choice between Carly Fiorina and Killary, I'd choose Fiorina. But I hope to heaven we never have to make that choice. Fiorina is an anti-Midas. Everything she touches turns into a POS; Lucent, HP, etc.

Thanks for the link. I see a lot of mention about CEO Rich McGinn associated with Lucent and it’s performance problems.

Hillary was Bill's bag lady when he was governor and president. It would be interesting to know the contents of the 'diplomatic pouch' as Hillary spent so much time in international travel with little if any positive accomplishments to show for it.

As she was flying high and being high while flying she might hold the record for having spent more time being in the clouds than on the ground during her stint as SoS.

WASHINGTON, March 29, 1994 — “The White House said today that in 1978 Hillary Rodham Clinton invested $1,000 in commodities futures and that the investment grew in 10 months of trading in the notoriously volatile market into a gain of nearly $100,000.

Seeking to dispel suggestions that the trades were risk-free and improperly arranged by an Arkansas lawyer who represents one of the state’s most powerful companies, the White House issued a statement this afternoon that said the First Lady had put up her own money and that she bore all of the financial risks in a marketplace where three out of four investors lose money.

The officials also released a year’s worth of brokerage statements from one of Mrs. Clinton’s two accounts. They show winnings outrunning losses about three-to-one. ‘Too Nerve-Racking’

Senior advisers to President Clinton and his wife said in a briefing this afternoon at the White House that Mrs. Clinton based her trades on information in The Wall Street Journal, and that she stopped trading by 1980, despite her success, because, as one senior aide put it, “she did not have the stomach for it any more and found it to be too nerve-racking.” ...........

I watched the video you posted. Thanks. Fiorina is very, very impressive. She’d be a great candidate. I’d have no problem supporting her for any office.
