Clinton's Attempt to Be Human

Clinton was on CNN last night explaining that she does in fact feel things. This was in response to a question concerning her emotional "breakdown" on Monday night in Portsmouth, which she says proves she has emotions. Whew! Check that one off the list. The woman spent some time in the White House, knows how to handle the "Republican attack machine" (despite crying over campaign pressures), and has emotions. Moving on people.

I can't help but feel the whole thing was calculated, as if she and her staff sat down and said "Obama pulls on people's heartstrings and emotions, but most think you're an emotional blackhole, so if you ever get the chance to shed a tear go for it". It feels like a shameless attempt to get back in the race. The woman has criticized her opponents for trying to marginalize her as a woman and then she goes and cries? Yeah that should make everyone think you belong. Man or woman, it doesn't matter. Just like in baseball, there's no crying on the campaign trail. It's weakness. Period.

i feel the same way about hillary's "breakdown"...if she gets elected is she going to cry everytime?! im a girl..but seriously..crying is lame and doesnt solve or get anything done (unless you are an Ice Queen like HIllary and want to find a cheap way to get votes)
