Bush has done a lot of things wrong. No doubt there.
How does Hillary having slept in the White House qualify her any better?

Hillary's healthcare plan was killed by majorites in both houses from her own party, while her own husband was in the White House pushing it along.
It died because it sucked.

Which, in the end, is precisely what Hillary has done for them.
Bush's talk didn't cost millions.

Because she did. You don't think those "blue-ribbon" committees in DC come for free, do you?

I want competent leaders, with actual experience, to try.
Hillary was given that project for no apparent reason (unless Bill just wanted her busy and out of the way of his extra-curricular activities). She's
never lead even a city government. She's
never been involved in a significant public policy initiative that wasn't a miserable failure.

Clinton was better that Bush Sr. on that front, but pretending he didn't get involved in military entanglements is both inaccurate and naive.
