ABC News: Hillary cries during campaign stop (?? bizarre if true....)

[Little-Acorn]

ABC news is reporting that Hillary got tears in her eyes during a campaign stop in New Hapshire. If true, that's very bizarre. I can't imagine her handlers letting her do this. She wants to be President of the United States. If she loses control when a few Americans in her own party say things about her that she can't answer, how is she going to react when dealing with Vladimir Putin, Hugo Chavez, Mahmoud Ahmadinejihad, etc., as well as domestic opponents ranging from Steny Hoyer to George Will to Ann Coulter?

Crying is the KISS OF DEATH to a politician. An unmistakable sign that he/she can't handle the pressure. And the pressure has barely started. Hillary ain't seen pressure yet - she still has never been held to answer the hardball questions most politicians get. Yet.

And in Hillary's case, it's rather a surprise. As far as I know, she didn't cry the numerous times Bill fooled around on her and got caught. She didn't cry when he lost the governorship of Arkansas. She didn't cry when she was subpoenaed to testify to Congress about the Rose Law Firm etc. She didn't cry when her 1993 Health Care Nationalization Plan crashed and burned.

Now she cries because simply campaigning for President is "hard"???

Why do I not find this completely believable?

Is Hillary carefully trying to show how soft and vulnerable she is, and not the shrill, demagogic maven we have seen for the last sixteen years? Well, if she took a razor and slashed her own throat on National TV, we would see that she bleeds just like anybody else, too... and she may have done exactly that with this stunt. The side effects may turn out to be much worse than she planned.

Clinton Gets Emotional on Campaign Trail

January 07, 2008 12:34 PM

ABC News' Kate Snow Reports: Campaigning in New Hampshire one day before the first-in-the-nation primary, Senator Hillary Clinton got emotional and had tears in her eyes as she spoke with voters about how hard it is to balance a busy campaign life and her passion for the country's future.

The Senator from New York was sitting at a big table in Cafe Espresso in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with 16 undecided voters, mostly women, warmly and calmly taking questions.

Then she took an unexpected question from a woman standing in the back.

"My question is very personal, how do you do it?" asked Marianne Pernold Young, a freelance photographer from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. She mentioned Clinton's hair and appearance always looking perfectly coifed. "How do you, how do you keep upbeat and so wonderful?"

Clinton began responding, jokingly. First talking about her hair: "You know, I think, well luckily, on special days I do have help. If you see me every day and if you look on some of the websites and listen to some of the commentators they always find me on the day I didn't have help. It's not easy."

But then, Clinton began getting emotional: "It's not easy, and I couldn't do it if I didn't passionately believe it was the right thing to do. You know, I have so many opportunities from this country just don't want to see us fall backwards," she said.

Her voice breaking and tears in her eyes, she said, "You know, this is very personal for me. It's not just political it's not just public. I see what's happening, and we have to reverse it."

Watch the video HERE ( http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4097366 ).

"Some people think elections are a game, lot's of who's up or who's down, [but] it's about our country , it's about our kids' futures, and it's really about all of us together," she said.

"You know, some of us put ourselves out there and do this against some pretty difficult odds, and we do it, each one of us because we care about our country but some of us are right and some of us are wrong, some of us are ready and some of us are not, some of us know what we will do on day one and some of us haven't thought that through enough," she said in a veiled reference to her Democratic rival Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill.

[Trigg]

As much as I can't stand the woman this is the first time I have ever seen her look human. She wasn't saying the political double-speak, I think it was an honest reaction. Actually nice to see from someone who comes across as so hard-nosed and unfeeling.





Still won't vote her her though, she's against everything I agree with.

What a GREAT performance....GAG ME..

I'm with you Stephanie. And I didn't see any tears, either.

I'm with you Stephanie. And I didn't see any tears, either.

Just what I want..my CIC crying when the going gets tough..

This was as staged and oh so predictable..

What a fricken phony and shallow person this woman is...it's like she just figured she was OWED the Presidency and when people didn't just fall all over her........bring out the tears...

I have to admit..I am rather enjoying seeing her fall on her plastic face..:cheers2:

[Pale Rider]

Yeah... right... where were the tears?

What a crock of shit.

[Little-Acorn]

"There's no crying in baseball!" - from the esteemed authority on the subject Tom Hanks. Or from his scriptwriter, to be exact.

Is there crying in political campaigning? Haven't seen any in quite a while, from anyone running for high office. Last time I recall seeing this, was when Edmund Muskie did it after someone made a verbal attack on his wife as he was running for President in the 1970s.

And Muskie was basically condemned for not being able to take the heat, unfair or not, and soon dropped out of the race.

Will Hillary?

Have to respectfully disagree with you, Trigg. You know what this bitch is. This performance was scripted, right down to the last stammer - the relentlessly rehearsed, exquisitely timed quaver of the voice. The only hard, immutable truth in this woman's world is political expediency; she is a perfect monster. Notice how - in the midst of her burst of "honest human emotion" - she managed to deliver surgical strikes against Obama's lack of experience, and the "hostile" media? Believe her not. You can tell when Hillary Clinton is lying - her lips are moving.

Running for President is obviously too hard for this poor woman..

Huh?

How is the media being any harder on her, than on the rest of the candidates? She's been trying to pretend she's "for change", and Obama has said he'll do more changing than she will. I still haven't seen anyone ask her why she thinks nationalizing the entire health care system would be good for the country, or why she thinks various corporations deserve the punishment she intends to hand out, etc. They haven't even asked her whose philandering is worse, Rudy Giuliani's or her husband's.

She says "It's hard" campaigning for President. As I said earlier, she hasn't seen hard yet. But it's coming. And she's crying already?

On a serious note, there's ONE excuse for tearing up during a speech, which works even if you're a man:

If you're remembering someone you personally knew who is now dead. The more recently they died, and the closer they were to you, the better.

[Yurt]

I think billy boy is enjoying himself immensly.... ya know hillary, i told you it was hard... no not that, its only you in the room, anyway, ... not as easy as you thought....here's sandpaper tissue...

[Immanuel]

What tears?

Was that another staged question? Staged for the sympathy votes it would bring.

I don't have a problem with a candidate getting choked up during the campaign whether male or female, but she wasn't crying and I don't believe she was really all that "choked up". Personally, I feel that if a candidate does honestly get choked up, it shows they are only human... which leaves her out. :D J/K. But really, I didn't buy her act. But, it seems the media wants to.



Then she took an unexpected question from a woman standing in the back.

"My question is very personal, how do you do it?" asked Marianne Pernold Young, a freelance photographer from Portsmouth, New Hampshire. She mentioned Clinton's hair and appearance always looking perfectly coifed. "How do you, how do you keep upbeat and so wonderful?"

Unexpected? Yeah, about as unexpected as Al Gore's insistence that if we don't stop polluting, the earth will burn up in our lifetime.

I disagree. George Bush has burned the Republican party for the next election at least. What is going to be fascinating is 2012. By then there would have been a four year Democrat president and possibly a Democrat house (depending on 2010 midterms). What the Democrats have done to the economy and solutions with regard to Iraq, will certainly make 2012 interesting.

What do Dems want to do? They want to raise taxes, surrender in Iraq, have government run health care, liberal Judges who make up laws from the bench, more government regulation over private business, and open borders and amnesty for illegals

Not a winning platform in November

Dems are doing exactly what Republicnas did - and they lost in 06.

Should Obama get the nod, you know damn well the liberal media will play the race card.

If you do not vote for Obama you are a - gasp - a racist. I remember well watching Chris Matthews bellow how the racists in TN did not vote for Harold Ford and that is why he lost

Chris did not say the same thing about Michael Steele in MD

And lets not forget this gem from the LA Times

Obama the 'Magic Negro'
template_bas
template_bas
The Illinois senator lends himself to white America's idealized, less-than-real black man.
By David Ehrenstein, L.A.-based DAVID EHRENSTEIN writes about Hollywood and politics.
March 19, 2007
AS EVERY CARBON-BASED life form on this planet surely knows, Barack Obama, the junior Democratic senator from Illinois, is running for president. Since making his announcement, there has been no end of commentary about him in all quarters — musing over his charisma and the prospect he offers of being the first African American to be elected to the White House.

But it's clear that Obama also is running for an equally important unelected office, in the province of the popular imagination — the "Magic Negro."

The Magic Negro is a figure of postmodern folk culture, coined by snarky 20th century sociologists, to explain a cultural figure who emerged in the wake of Brown vs. Board of Education. "He has no past, he simply appears one day to help the white protagonist," reads the description on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magical_Negro .

He's there to assuage white "guilt" (i.e., the minimal discomfort they feel) over the role of slavery and racial segregation in American history, while replacing stereotypes of a dangerous, highly sexualized black man with a benign figure for whom interracial sexual congress holds no interest.

As might be expected, this figure is chiefly cinematic — embodied by such noted performers as Sidney Poitier, Morgan Freeman, Scatman Crothers, Michael Clarke Duncan, Will Smith and, most recently, Don Cheadle. And that's not to mention a certain basketball player whose very nickname is "Magic."

Poitier really poured on the "magic" in "Lilies of the Field" (for which he won a best actor Oscar) and "To Sir, With Love" (which, along with "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," made him a No. 1 box-office attraction). In these films, Poitier triumphs through yeoman service to his white benefactors. "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" is particularly striking in this regard, as it posits miscegenation without evoking sex. (Talk about magic!)

The same can't quite be said of Freeman in "Driving Miss Daisy," "Seven" and the seemingly endless series of films in which he plays ersatz paterfamilias to a white woman bedeviled by a serial killer. But at least he survives, unlike Crothers in "The Shining," in which psychic premonitions inspire him to rescue a white family he barely knows and get killed for his trouble. This heart-tug trope is parodied in Gus Van Sant's "Elephant." The film's sole black student at a Columbine-like high school arrives in the midst of a slaughter, helps a girl escape and is immediately gunned down. See what helping the white man gets you?

JUST HOW CONVIENENT...that they always leave out...the Obambam was born with a WHITE mother and a BLACK father...???

Oh...and in case if you haven't noticed....the Shrill is a woman and RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.....

Margret Thatcher has the Shrill beat in that category........by a long shot...You would never see the iron lady cry, if she was behind a few points in a stupid poll:...the Shrill will never be a Margaret Thatcher...and Bambam will never be a JFK or a MLK........sorry

Candidate has another teary moment

Says he's not ashamed of having emotions

Mitt Romney's first noteworthy misty-eyed moment of the campaign came at the end of his nationally televised speech on faith and politics earlier this month in Texas. "God bless this great land, God bless the United States of America," he declared.

After his eyes filled with tears for the third time in as many weeks on the presidential campaign trail, Mitt Romney explained that, no, he is not immune to sadness and grief.

"I'm a normal person. I have emotions," Romney told reporters in New Hampshire. "I'm not ashamed of that at all."

Thought you'd like my post! hahahaha!

My only point is the ones that think it was a "girl thing" or sign of weakness for her to tear or the ones that believe it was manufactured, need to express that same sentiment about Mitt Romney who has cried or welled up several times or President Bush for that matter, who has welled up and teared many times in public speaking to us.

I don't know if the Hill was faking it or not.... it did not seem that she was to me but anything is possible and I am not beyond being able to be fooled...

I just wondered why there is not such commotion with Mitt Romney or President Bush when they cry in public, or questioning on whether they are toooooo weak and emotional to be president or whether they were FAKING IT for political gain when they did it....the weaping in public?

Oh really?

Republicans want to fund a war to the tune of trillions of dollars and pay for it in the future. Guess what... sooner or later we are going to pay for it.

Surrender in Iraq? Well, there we have a difference of opinion. You see, I don't think that evaluating our strategy in Iraq and deploying our forces in different manners is surrender despite the rhetoric (and that is all it is) of the Bush Admin. What are the Republican candidate's positions on Iraq? Maintain the status quo? That won't win the war. A lot of Republicans don't like the way things are going there right now. If a Republican wins the White House this year, I imagine we'll see something along the lines of the Democrat solutions by '09.

Republicans don't have any solutions for the borders either. They are not talking about closing them either and I am not sure that is the best course of action on that matter either. I think our best bet would be to re-evaluate our immigration numbers and laws to increase the number of legal aliens and snuff out the illegal problem... and that does not include amnesty for illegals.

Increased governmental regulations on the private sector? Well, that sounds like decreased civil rights to me and I can't think of any one who has done more damage to civil rights in the last century then George Bush and I believe all the Republican candidates backed him up on it.

No, I don't think there is much difference between either party these days, except of course the rhetoric and which direction they point their fingers.

You know damn well Hillary was faking it. The Clintons have made tugging on the heartstrings of libs an art form. On the one hand, she has her people tell us how tough and strong she is - then she cries and whines how the men are attacking her

The bottom line is, the myth of the Clintons could vanish beofre our eyes tonight, and then the Clinton machione will make the usual excuses for her loss

I wonder if Bill will be upset - or he will be laughing his ass off inside?

Immie

1) The amount of money flowing into the federal government is at record highs, while the annual deficit has dropped by more then 50%

2) It is surrender when Dems want to pull out the troops despite the huge success the troops are having. AQ is on the run, and the people of Iraq are stepping up and taking more of the load

3) Some Republicnas are wanting to seal the border and enfore the laws we have on the looks. The Dems and the liberal media then call them racists and how thge "hate brown people". Dems see them as a new voting block, and want to give them amnesty so they can vote for them

4) How is more government control ont he private sector a decreasein civl rights? Hillary has said how she wants to take the profits of oil comapnies away from them, and SHE invests them as she wants

What civil rights have you lost?

Good morning JD

You know damn well Hillary was faking it. The Clintons have made tugging on the heartstrings of libs an art form. On the one hand, she has her people tell us how tough and strong she is - then she cries and whines how the men are attacking her

The bottom line is, the myth of the Clintons could vanish beofre our eyes tonight, and then the Clinton machione will make the usual excuses for her loss

I wonder if Bill will be upset - or he will be laughing his ass off inside?
rsr,

She's not a quitter, nor is Bill...I can't see her giving up so easily, I think she and he are in it for the long haul.

It will at least take more than 2-5 losses before she bows out imo and even then, I can't see her doing it.

[glockmail]

....

You know damn well Hillary was faking it. .... I disagree. I don't think she has the ability to "act" and hide her emotions. In fact, her obvious show of emotions: hate, greed, jealousy, spite, are what has gotten her so far down in the polls.

No, I think that Hillary is genuinely sad, and frightened, that she blew it and her career is over.

Even some of her own people are telling her to drop out if she loses by a wide margin tonight. Of course the Clintons are not worried about what is best for their party or the country - they are only worried what is best for the Clintons

What civil rights have you lost?

The right to feel free in my own country for one. Thanks to the USA (un)Patriot Act. The right to feel that I can freely discuss my beliefs without worrying about upsetting the government and ending up in some prison camp for those beliefs. The right to speak to any friends I might have in the Middle East although, I for one do not know anyone there, but that doesn't matter.

Those are just starters and things will get worse.

Do you remember after 9/11 when Americans were turning in Americans because of their heritage?

Thanks Sweet and Petite!

Romney teared up due to:
* a show of dedication from his supporters
* his church acknowledging his core beliefs
* the site of a soldier's casket and the knowledge that it could have been one of his own.

By contrast Hillary teared up because she realizes that she is losing support and her lust for power will not be fulfilled.

[SURCULUS]

she's crying cause someone asked her "How do you keep up with your appearance"? Hilary responds basically saying: It's not easy putting on this face everyday and rehearsing what will be my last big show" Gone with the wind" somewhere in the back of her mind she had to be thinking no wonder I'm losing.....they just don't hear me when I talk about the important issues facing this country,their asking about my hair!! lol I smell defeat or is that nail polish?

Hold on there Immie. Since when do your feeling have protection under the Constitution? You are free in this country and to state otherwise is complete nonsense. Last time I checked, the 1st Amendment keeps the government from making any laws that stifle your free speech and if you worry about upsetting the government, then you just need to man up and get over it. As much as those on the left would like you to believe, there are no secret prison camps where you are sent for mental reconstruction. Not to say that that wouldn't be a bad thing for some of the loons on the left, but being that this is a free Nation, they are allowed to ramble on just as I am now.

Check your feeling at the sign on page and please state one freedom that you have actually lost.

Well actually, yes. By complaining that different reactions/rules were applied to Hillary's crying than for Romney's, you imply that their crying situations were virtually indistinguishable. Glock pointed out (quite well) how they were far from the same, and therefore should not be regarded in the same way.

Right now, the liberal media is giving him a free ride. If Obama wins the nomination, i can't see him in a debate with Mitt (or any Republican)defending higher taxes, government run health care, and appeasement to the terrorists.

At least Obama openly admits he wants to jack up our taxes. The last Dems who did that was Mondale in 1984.

And we all know how well he did in November

What difference does it make if the potential is there? The point is that the potential is there. Constitutional rights are setup to protect us from future abuses of our own government not things from the past. The threat is there and whether this Presidential Administration uses it or the Chelsea Clinton administration of 2029 uses it, we need to be protected.

Couric Encourages 'Humanized' Clinton to 'Reveal More of Yourself'
By Brent Baker | January 10, 2008 - 06:39 ET
Telling Hillary Clinton “some observers believe” that when she got “emotional” -- as “your voice cracked and your eyes welled up” -- that “humanized you and made you much more attractive to women voters,” CBS's Katie Couric on Wednesday night cooed: “Will you be willing now to reveal more of yourself and be less reserved?” As if the “emotional” moment Monday in New Hampshire exposed the real, sensitive Hillary Clinton while the “reserved” Hillary persona of the last 15-plus years doesn't match reality. For the interview aired on the CBS Evening News, Clinton invited Couric to her home in New Castle, New York. Clinton described the incident as “Hillary unplugged” and insisted it showed “I don't see politics as a game,” but as a way of “getting in a position to actually help people.”
