Hilaryous

"It's not easy, it's not easy, ummmm, and I couldn't do it if I did not passionately believe it was the right thing to do. [...} It's very personal for me."

Someone needs some acting lessons...

Wonder how that's gonna work out... one trying not to use his black side, the other trying not to use her feminine side .... unless it's an emergency...

LOL! I saw that! I wanted to puke!

I'm just wondering... which is his black side? Come to think about it... Why is it that he is considered "black" by most people, yet he is 50% white? I guess being the first "gray" president of the US of A just doesn't have the same vote getting sound to it.

As far as Hilary goes... she will be doing plenty of crying come election night, when she loses big time!

I cannot believe that women actually fell for that act. Jeez, she probably set back the chance of a woman president (and women in politics in general) a good 50 years.

Bush f*cked up on 9/11 (the actual day), but can you imagine if he'd CRIED? Dear God.

On what Candace said, I agree. For instance, can you imagine a guy saying to another guy (with his lip quivering a bit) "you hurt my feelings".

Candace, LP...
Hopefully not as many "women fell for it" and voters in general, as the media and the polling in NH might suggest.

As far as setting back women 50 years, that could be just a tad of an exaggeration. I personally don't have a problem with people showing their "true" emotions, man or woman no matter what position they hold in life. We are all human, having emotions is part in parcel of that. I can imagine if Bush had cried. People might have seen that he too is human. I know that I went from shock to tears to anger on that day. I suspect many people did. They were all very appropriate at the time for anyone, regardless of gender or position. How one responds despite their emotions is what separates leaders from the rest. This may all contradict what I originally posted here regarding Hillary's little tear jerking moment, maybe not. She was asked a very simple question which needed only a simple response. She turned it into a emotional thing. She handled it poorly. If such a simple thing has her holding back her tears, how would she deal with a real crisis?

"It's not easy, it's not easy," Hillary Clinton...
"do you think its easy to make priorities?" Stephane Dion...

See any comparison here? Seems nothing is easy for wanna be leaders...
