Should we trust former Cisco board director Carly Fiorina as President of the United States?

"In 2005 Fiorina was fired by the board of Hewlett Packard. Her tenure had seen a controversial merger with PC maker Compaq and a company restructuring that resulted in 30,000 people losing their jobs - while she tripled her own salary and bought a $1 million yacht and five corporate jets."

CiscoCarly Fiorina in 19722016 Presidential candidate Carly Fiorina was appointed to Cisco's board on January 9, 2001 and served until November 11, 2003.

John Chambers gushed at the time of her appointment:

"Carly is one of America's dynamic new business leaders.

"During the last year and a half she has spearheaded a major transformation at HP and is establishing a new leadership model for big companies.

Perhaps exposing some of her own hypocrisy, the Daily Mail recently reported:

"In 2005 Fiorina was fired by the board of Hewlett Packard. Her tenure had seen a controversial merger with PC maker Compaq and a company restructuring that resulted in 30,000 people losing their jobs - while she tripled her own salary and bought a $1 million yacht and five corporate jets."

So I ask the question:

Should we trust former Cisco board director Carly Fiorina as President of the United States?

I'm asking that question because there's two very, very different stories being told about Fiorini, for instance:

  1. Here's the tale as told by her former husband, Todd Bartlem:

    Carly Fiorina's claims of motherhood and rise to the top under fire

  2. And here's the tale as told by her current husband, Frank Fiorina:

I mean, which tale do you believe and would you trust Fiorina to be President of the United States?
