    Why does she have to be "warm and friendly"? She isn't a dog, she is a person, and just because she is not a man, doesn't mean she has to be "motherly" or "friendly"! She is a politician for goodness sake! They by nature are only warm and friendly before elections!

    I don't dispute the tone of this article but I do dispute the ascertion that's there's something wrong with Hillary Clinton because she isn't outwardly emotional. The emotional state of a presidential candidate wouldn't even be an issue if she were not a woman. Because she is, we expect her to cry, wine, and sob. It's sexist. No one discusses a male candidate's emotions. They're allowed to be cold and detached. But when a woman stands up and tries to play a man's game we find fault with her.

      bill and hillary deserve each other-just not living in the whitehouse-hillary is a cold calculating out to prove that she"is the woman"just because you were 1st lady doesn't qualify you to run a country-what happens to people when things go wrong in the whitehouse if she is president-vince foster comes to mind-hmmmmm?????

    Ms Clinton is a 'cold' calculating person. You either are with her or you are the ENEMY

    • Posted By: aNaturalWoman @ 10/16/2007 5:35:47 PM

      You may have a point there. A good example is when she makes the statement that certain impoverished groups or minorities are "forgotton" by the current administration. She gives 0 credit where credit is very much due.

      You are right on the mark . Hillary Clinton is the scarriest person in my lifetime to covet the Oval Office. Read Gary Aldrich's book to see how warm and friendly she is NOT!
      Another thing, look at the mess they left in Arkansas. Relatives who live in Arkansas were glad to be rid of the Slick Willie and Slick Hillie duo!!!

    Some people talk out the side of their mouths by putting a woman down for not showing emotions in crowds. Hillary is a strong lady and stands for every woman in America in being the kind of woman we all should be! I have heard many tales told and lies from the first but think about it and ask yourself what would you do? It takes a good person and in this case it's a woman to go on and be strong and live her life with her head up high instead of between her legs as many would like to see.

    Let the Florida thing go already, Bush won and that's just sour grapes. As for NOLA, why don't you ask DEMOCRATIC governor Blanco why she cowed down and rolled over to try and make Bush look bad. This article is about Hilary and Bill and what a sham their marriage is. It is a political ploy that is staged to win votes. Do you really want to return to the dark days of 9/11 when the President took the mighty stand that his predecessor could not have fathomed? And now you want this coward's emotionless, charlaten of a mother to take over? Vote for the issues, not your petty, small-minded opinions.

    America : come on you did what you had to, to Bill and his wife what- ever you wanted you did not get its's time to move on the woman love's her man and she would stand by him till death do us part , marage is not about money cause no matter how much you have when you die which you are going to you are broke,I have never heard of a rich dead

    I don't care if their marriage is good, bad or indifferent. I just want a president who cares about what happens to our country and to our future. I want someone who is honest and straight forward, and don't try to blow smoke screens to cover up their mistakes. I want someone who can take care of the business and problems at home, before going and borrowing others.

    I am so tired of these guys getting up in front of national television and talking crap. I am so tired of american people being so dumb that they believe the crap they are told. Doesn't anybody every ask the right questions anymore? Have people become so complaciant, they don't know how to ask the right questions anymore.

    I don't care about national security, when our country deficit is over a gazillion dollars. I don't care about national security, when our health care costs are skyrocketing. I don't care about national security when most all american jobs are being outsourced to india and other countries. I don't care about national security when our children can't even get a decent education (unless you are rich). I don't care about national security, when we still have so much hate and anger within our on country, and are not doing anything about it.

    I would like to get a president who can see all these problems and find a way of fixing them, and not just pandering to special interest groups (i would like them to say screw the special interest groups) I want someone who can give us our rights back. So I really don't care how their marriage is doing (it doesn't make them a better president or a worse president) I just want someone who doesn't lie, cover the truth, or pander to anyone.

    I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton if she was the ONLY ONE running!!

    • Posted By: Anakin @ 10/16/2007 5:31:23 PM

      And you voted for Bush.......your country thanks you for everything you've helped it accomplish. Whatever! You must not be over in Iraq.

  • Posted By: HeavyZ @ 10/16/2007 5:16:27 PM

    Hillary is for Hillary. Period.

    • Posted By: middleton @ 10/16/2007 5:29:00 PM

      she is a politician they all have an agenda, their own that they want to see happen!!! get it!

  • Posted By: aNaturalWoman @ 10/16/2007 5:28:01 PM

    Shrillery Clinton is way too emotional to lead this country effectively. Let us not forget her mannerisms during the many scandals that occurred while she was the first lady----she certainly wasn't a lady by my definition.

  • Posted By: kw2007 @ 10/16/2007 5:25:06 PM

    What really happened to Vice Foster? Why did Hillary's staff rush to Foster' office to remove documents? Was Vince Foster's wife afraid to demand that a proper investigation be conducted to discover the truth about her husbands death?

  • Posted By: middleton @ 10/16/2007 5:24:21 PM

    Hillary Clinton seems to strike an emotional cord with many in a negative way. Every human being in this world has a deep place inside of them that others will never know and the bottom line is that she is still that, a human being. Being in the publics eye has it's burdens you sacrafice your personal privacy. Only she truely knows and experienced the emotions that came with the issues of their marriage, and that is exactly what it is, THEIR marriage. Anyone who has ever been in a marriage or divorced or even a committed relationship knows that you many not always handle everything the right way. Besides what is the right way to handle emotions..., I don't think anyone can say they have that down to exact science, Yes emotions count but either way if it were opposite and she fell apart she would still get judged negatively. "she coldly ignored who husband's most basic human need." To whoever said that, what do you think drove that action..... Emotions!!!

    Hillary Clinton is probably the most cheated on wife of a politician in U.S. history. The way she parades her husband Bill out like a prized stud is simply absurd. They both make me want to puke! There are no ethics what-so-ever in this deal.

  • Posted By: angeleyes35 @ 10/16/2007 5:00:53 PM

    that is about all we need, the clintons back in the white house. bill clinton for 8 years made this country and the office of the presidency look like the donkey's behind, i don't think we need that again. the woman is the queen of denial. and quite frankly i just don't think she is the answer to our problems. if her hubby billy boy had been doing his job, 9/11 might not have happened and we would not be over in Iraq now. no thanks no more clintons in the white house, that this country can do without!!!

    • Posted By: Anakin @ 10/16/2007 5:22:53 PM

      You obviously have no clue what you're talking about. The current presidency has made us the largest laughing stock on earth. We preach democracy and how every vote counts but we fail to count votes in Fl. We talk about fighting for our freedom and dying for our country but nobody can tell us why our women and men are dying. We can go fight a war overseas but can't save our own people in New Orleans. The current presidency is a sham, you just need to admit you voted the wrong way.

    • Posted By: Anakin @ 10/16/2007 5:15:26 PM

      And G W. Bush has done what for this country? We've been made a mockery of for not being able to count votes, for not being able to find wmd's and for having the current Presidency outry lie to the American people about why our women and men are dying overseas.
