It was a campaign commercial for Hillary Clinton, and it was running through quotes that are descriptive of her ability to be president. This was the last one that came up:

"Mrs. Clinton is qualified ... to be president"

I missed where that quote came from, because I was laughing so hard. It's not that I don't think she's qualified to be president. She's probably qualified. I wouldn't vote for her, but then again, I don't love her politics and I'm not a big fan of her method.

More than anything though, that's just a pretty strategically placed ellipsis. What words appeared between "qualified" and "to" that had to be removed? A couple of guesses:

"is qualified to bring in a talking bear to be president"

"is qualified, albeit totally unsexy, to be preseident"

"is qualified to eat her weight in Crisco, but not to be president
