Hillary Tears Up

Those of you who seem to think "she's just a woman" or that she lacks experience, don't seem to be well read on her experiences. Besides her tenue as a senator, she helped write a comprehensive health plan during her husband's presidency, traveled abroad and was a representative for her husband--truly helping to shape the positive foreign affairs this country used to possess...she was the first First Lady to have her own staff so that she could do more than plan parties in the White House and do charity work.

Instead of focusing on the tears, THINK ABOUT HER MESSAGE: she loves this country and wants to move forward. As one who's lived in the White House, she has a plan and knows what she can and will do on day one--that's powerful to me.

I'm a woman, an educator, and a wife...and I didn't know who I was going to vote for. I think her display may have made up my mind to vote for Clinton, if I have that option in November.

"I did not have sexual relations with"............. Come on people, knock it off, get some balls and don't get sucked into this BS. They are ( her and the slick one) money driven power hungry back stabbing lying sacks of crap. Go ahead vote her in. You'll then have to find, as usual ,someone else or something else to blame other then yourselves. Sheesh, grow up and think for once.

I can honestly say that before watching Mrs Clinton on this video..I had not given her any serious consideration...She had always come across as too hard nosed..There has to be a middle ground..even for male presidental hopefuls to show humanity and compassion..and getting a smidge choked up while making a very passionate personal speech.. only shows the depth to which her commitment stands..Maybe for the first time in a long time we might have someone in the race for the right reasons.. Making our Country the Great Country it used to be...

Good wife to bad husband, smart, good mother, emotionally un/stable whatever. Sen. Clinton is not entitiled to the Presidency. She has to take her knocks and earn her votes just like the others do. Bill Clinton's record doesn't give her credit toward leading this nation. Saying she's 'so ready to lead' does not quaify her for leadership of this country. She's been kneecapping the other candidates since the beginning and is upset because she couldn't win at the 'goold ol boy' tactics she's been doleing out. And I'm tired of hearing about her compassion. How compassionate is it to steal everything that wasn't nailed down in the White House while you were there? How compassionate was WhitewaterGate? Please, She has no problem telling young people to go to war and die but not to question her judgements/policies. She had no problem with her husband's "lack of experience" and then tries to stomp the light out of the next generation. She can't have it both ways. She can't draw blood with her fangs and then cry because the someone criticizes her. Yes, she cries so she's human. Great. We need a higher form of human in the White House.

Hillary is cold and conniving. She is playing the tear card as a weapon and that is totally wrong.

Go Hilary! You are exceptionally smart and have a clear vision for the direction this country needs to head in. Eleanor (Roosevelt) lived in a time when it was unthinkable that a woman might be President - tho' she would have made a stellar one. Now - rise to this challenge and beat them all Madam President!

Jan 7 - IRAN threatens an American Naval Ship - Recession may be on the horizon, Genocide and suicide attacks every day. There is NO Crying in Baseball- Mrs. Clinton.

Go Hillary. It's about time we have a woman president. Our country is so far behind the other countries. How sad. Everyone says how advanced we our, but it is not true, Behind in medicine, politics, and many other things. Oprah should be standing behind Hillary not Obama. Oprah talks about standing up for women where was she for Hillary. Obama had to resort to Oprah to get the votes in Iowa. Obama was behind in the polls until that moment. It is time for a woman president, and that woman is Hillary Clinton. Hillary you had my vote in IOWA. Keep up the good work.

I not really sure why she was crying or why her crying is considered news worthy. The question ended with "who does your hair?" and thus would seem more like a question on appearence. Without that add on the begining of the question was more substancial, though pointless in my opinion. Why should it be so different on a woman running for president than a man? Its not like women have not campaigned for the US presidency before; the first being Victoria Claflin Woodhull in 1872. Even if this would have been the first time the campaigning process is the same as with male canidents: you have to get enough voters to win the election. It would not surprise me if Mrs. Clinton was trying to appeal to emotion in this case as that is in fact a common tool used by politicians, and people in general, despite it being a logical fallacy. She has made statements appealing to sentiment not reson or fact before. It also wouldn't surprise me if she broke a bit because of pressure as I'm sure running for presidential election is stressful, and people do crack under pressure. Is this that big of a deal? Depends on how you look at it; people cry for different reasons and have different views of public desplays of emotion. In my opinion I think that there are occations where public emotional displays are acceptable and times when they should be frowned upon. I don't know all of the circumstances around Hillary Clinton getting all choked up and teary eyed so I'll reserve judgement on this matter. The variety of opinions here interest me and I see some validity in many of them. I'll end by stateing that I do not understand how this is such a big issue even though it is not new. Wasn't there an incident a decade or so ago where a female canident had to drop out and cried during her announcement which angered a bunch of people who said she "took women back twenty years" or something like that. Why can't the canidents views make headlines instead of their apperance, gender, emotion, religion, ethnicity, background or other such trivial matters?

I agree 100% with Minnesota's Finest re regative and innane comments being posted about Hillary Clinton. These comments sure sound like they come from people who clearly can't say anything intelligent. Hillary Clinton has done more in her lifetime to support the United States and everything we stand for than just about any other active politician. It's also pretty clear that Hillary is one of the hardest working politicians on the scene today and has a 'history" to show for her work. And because she's a woman, we know that she has to work doubly hard to get her work done, which adds another dimension to her level of commitment. Hillary's written "history" speaks for itself and clearly shows us what we can expect from her when she's elected President. So I was hoping that someone could give me a list of Obama's acccomplishments or his "history" since going to Washington? And inspriing words aren't accomplishments. Maybe I'm not as informed as I think I am, so I was hoping someone could tell me why Obama is qualified to be our next President? Also, can any of you qualify your negative comments about Hillary? In other words, what is the basis for your comments? What is it that Hillary has done or hasn't done that compels you to write these things? I'm pretty certain that you won't be able to address this because your "Hillary opinions" are based on "emotions" and "feelings"; they aren't based on anything other than this. If so, then this is a huge contradiction, isn't it? I'd also like to know what, if anything, any of you have ever done in your lifetime to support our country or your candidate of choice or, for that matter, anything you've done to support anything you believe in? Simply, what qualifies anyone to say these things and what is it that you're using to compare Clinton to Obama? I'd really like to know. (If you're in the Armed Services or you're a Veteran, then you're totally qualified, and is certainly something I'm not.) But I'm pretty much guessing that Hillary has done more for our country than all of us combined, times 100. I'd like to hear any comments from anyone outside the United States who is reading this. I'm really curious to find out if you're as impressed as I am with the postings??? And finally, I'd like to know if anyone has asked themselves whether or not Obama could beat the Republican candidate? Speaking as a Democrat, we need a candidate that will win the election because we can't afford 4+ more years with a Republican president. If you look at all the national polls, Obama can't beat any of the Republican candidates in a national election, and Hillary beats them all. Like Hillary. I get very emotional and I cry thinking about four more years with a Republican President. I don't consider this bad at all.

If a man reacted the same way, we would say he was an emotional wimp. Not strong enough to be the Commander in Chief.
