James Buchanan was well educated, had some military experience, and did have extensive political and diplomatic experience

Attended the village academy (Old Stone Academy) and later Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, graduating with honors, 1809. Later that year, he moved to Lancaster, where he studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1812.

A dedicated Federalist, he initially opposed the War of 1812 because he believed it was an unnecessary conflict. When the British invaded neighboring Maryland, he joined a volunteer light dragoon unit as a private and served in the defense of Baltimore. Buchanan is the only President with military experience who did not, at some point, serve as an officer.

1814-1816 PA State House of Representatives, Federalist
1821-1831 U.S. House of Representatives PA
1832-1833 Minister to Russia
1834-1845 U.S. Senate PA
1845 Declined nomination by James K Polk for U.S. Supreme Court
1845-1849 U.S. Secretary of State, under James K Polk
1852-1866 President Board of Trustees Franklin & Marshall College Lancaster, PA
1853-1855 Minister to Great Britain
1857-1861 President U.S.



I am well aware of his biography, thank you very much.  What I don't appreciate is anyone comparing the two as if implicitly saying that Hillary will be every bit as much of a disaster for the country as he was.
