Ready on Day One?

Vignette
Hillary Clinton has just been inaugurated as President of the United States. On the night of her first day as President, the following takes place.
At approximately 2:00 a.m., Hillary receives a call on the red telephone from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Wesley Walker who informs Hillary that we have just been attacked in Jump Back, Mississippi. Hillary looks around for Bill and emphatically asks: “Where’s Bill”? Hillary informs General Walker to hold the line while she attempts to locate Bill’s whereabouts in order to confer with him on this matter.
Hillary hurriedly rushes down the hall furiously in search of Bill. A secret service agent meets Mrs. Clinton and asks: “What’s wrong, Madam President”? Hillary replies: “Have you seen Mr. Clinton because we have just been attacked in Mississippi”? The secret service agent responds by saying: “Mr. Clinton left the White House at midnight with two secret agents. I assumed you knew”. Hillary looked very disturbed and confused and ran back to her bedroom to talk with General Walker.
Mrs. Clinton informs General Walker that Bill is not present and asks General Walker: “What should I do”? Hillary further states: “I have never had to deal or respond to tough questions and demanding situations like this except in a debate back in February in Cleveland, Ohio”. Hillary also states: “By the tone of your voice General Walker, you seem to be upset and angry with me”. General Walker states: “Madam President, I have been patiently waiting on your response for the last seven minutes regarding what course of action we should take or do”. General Walker further states: “Madam President, you told the American people that you would be ready on day one to be commander-in-chief”. Hillary responds: “I’ll call Bill on his cell phone”. General Walker replies: “Madam President, I am going to have take over your command and declare martial law because of your failure to execute your responsibilities as president and commander-in-chief. Hillary answers by saying: “Did you try to reach Vice-President Obama”? General Walker replies: “Madam President, YOU are the commander-in-chief and since you are incapable of executing your responsibilities, I will take over this command”.
Do you want a person as president who cannot handle or deal with the tough questions on national security and defense as commander-in-chief? Hillary Clinton abrogated a major responsibility as a U.S. Senator when she failed to critically review, examine and inquire about the validity of the National Intelligence Reports before she cast her vote on the Iraq war. Therefore, she like John McCain should be removed from office for dereliction of duty and lack of accountability to the American people.
