Is Hillary Clinton a delicate flower or can she handle crisis like Obama handled his.
Edited on Sat May-24-08 02:51 PM by kwenu
I am amazed at the apologetics for Hillary's shooting HERSELF in the foot. She is taking well deserved heat for her ridiculous talking point about RFK. Obama has had to handle the heat for a few statements he has made that were taken out of context and salivated on by Hillary supporters and Hillary herself. Now that the shoe is on the other foot it appears everyone is an apologist for Hillary including Obama supporters. Many of the leaders in the middle east and other countries may not treat a President Hillary Clinton with respect. This is part of her test of her fitness just as much as it was for Obama. It is up to her to handle the crisis she created and prove her mettle. Enough of the Hillary is a delicate flower excuse. Hillary wants to be president let her prove she can handle it.

2. Obama will need the Hillary Supporters in the GE
Do you really think it's wise to take her words out of context and misconstrue them to mean that she wishes Obama to be assassinated. The media is playing divide and concur. People on DU should know better.

4. I don't think that has ANYTHING to do with proving she can handle a crisis.
Edited on Sat May-24-08 02:57 PM by kwenu
That is a matter of Democrats supporting their nominee, a COMPLETELY different issue.

5. Um, you realize that hostage-taking requires that YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE HOSTAGE, right?
Fail.

7. We don't think that!!!
Most of us feel she is using the possibility of Obama getting assassinated as an excuse to stay in the race, not that she wishes it. But it was more than a gaffe. A gaffe happens once only.

10. I seem to remember a certain candidate...
...weakly channeling Harry Truman not so long ago. In news clip after news clip we heard "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen." Oddly enough, I'm not hearing a whole lot of that over the last couple of days.
