Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina Announces Bid For White House
seven of five writes: According to Reuters, "Former Hewlett-Packard Co Chief Executive Carly Fiorina announced on Monday she is running for president, becoming the only woman in the pack of Republican candidates for the White House in 2016. ... Fiorina registers near the bottom of polls of the dozen or so Republican hopefuls and has never held public office. But she has already attracted warm receptions at events in the early voting state of Iowa where she is positioning herself as a conservative, pro-business Republican highly critical of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Fiorina was forced by HP to resign in 2005 as the tech company struggled to digest Compaq after a $19 billion merger."
As part of her announcement, she said, "I think I'm the best person for the job because I understand how the economy actually works. I understand the world, who's in it, how the world works." I'm sure we'll soon begin hearing from all the HP employees, current and former, who have nothing but love for Carly F.

Carly "The Ego" Fiorina.
Her ego covers a land mass the size of Maine.
"I think I'm the best person for the job because I understand how the economy actually works. I understand the world, who's in it, how the world works."
Oh Carly.. setting yourself up for a stand up career?
She kept shouting "UNACCEPTABLE" during it, and then finished on her own with some sort of power drill. It was the worst night of my life.
Let her do the same for the Country!
Carly would probably lay off Congress and ship all their jobs to India, spend 13 trazillion dollars to buy Somalia, end all federal highway and other infrastructure funds; and drive the dollar down to 1$ == 12 slices of bread.
In general the GOP wants to reduce the size of government. She was very successful at reducing the size of HP. Clearly she is the perfect choice.

carlyfiorina.org makes for insightful reading. I understood a lot about her conservative economic position after visiting.

I hope you brought something to read, because you'll be waiting a loooooong time.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is kinky.
I think you should run.
Seriously, can't do any worse, right?

Certainly you have heard of a place called Bengahzi? The Republican attack machine already considers it the worst attack on America since the War of Independence and according to them she personally orchestrated the attacks with help from Khaleid Sheik Mohammad and George Soros. They'll eventually get that report out of Congress saying exactly this if they try enough times.
I read the internet for the articles.
She did fuck all WHILE she was a corporate executive, too.
Why does the media take people like this seriously? I think the corporate media automatically fawns over a CEO. It doesn't matter that the CEO is a failure.
She is also the postergirl for "failing upwards" and the fact that we don't have any meritocracy in this country. She doesn't deserve to be a manger at Arby's at this point, and she doesn't deserve respect. But still the Corporate media fawns.
It's not like she's running to captain a space station, it's the Republican Primary, they dream of finding someone qualified to manage an Arby's.
I stole this Sig
Maybe she can get a web page going of former HP and Lucent employees who endorse her!
And the fact that her married a Mexican woman and had children with her must really cause them to seethe. She wasn't even a citizen when they married! Imagine the insult to the GOP base of marrying someone who isn't white and an immigrant! Jeb is doomed in certain parts of the base for this perceived travesty which is ironic because Jeb probably has the best chance of any of the candidates so far.
Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
Too late. 16 years of Bush/Obama has been enough.
