After a week of Obama bashing, he went on vacation to the Caribbean.  Good for him, if only we could all be in St. Thomas right now. 

While he is away, Clinton had three days to her own, able to shape it however she wants.  What did she do?  Bring up Bosnia?  Oopps.

Clinton quoted last week that, upon landing in Bosnia in 1996, she remembers coming out of the plane under sniper fire as she ran toward the motorcade, ducking under fire.

How did it actually turn out?  There was a welcome brigade as she AND Chelsea were there, joined by a small Bosnian girl reading a poem.  Hardly a battle zone.

Why is this a problem for Hillary?  Because she's running on her national experience, and this just goes to show that, while she was traveling the world, it often was little more than a smile for the camera.  As some have said, sure, she's been around the world, but so has my travel agent. 

The oddest thing is that she just mentioned this last week.  Surely she knew that there were reporters around at the time and that it would all be on tape.  So, how could she make such a gaffe?
