She has worn glasses and no eye make-up since her illness. She has also been wearing very flat shoes instead of her usual kitten heels. Her clot may not be dissolved yet and she's still on blood thinners.Her health is more important than fripperies.

If she's on coumadin, then she may be experiencing dizziness and light headedness.

My sister had two rounds of blood clots in her legs and was put on coumadin and other medication. She said that the medication made her feel spacy and dizzy... her husband had to drive her to work and back because she couldn't trust herself behind the wheel of the car.

Think she looks great in her glasses. Also agree with the thought that there might medical reasons why she's wearing them and not contacts right now.

I think they look better on her than contacts. It also looks like she's gotten some sleep and had time to get her hair cut. She looks younger and prettier without the eye makeup.

I admire her work ethic, but not her politics, so I'm still Uncle Joe Biden, our era's Harry Truman, in 2016.

kind of like Joe Scar. (He looks better without glasses too.) No makeup on top of that makes eyes appear even smaller.
You sure managed to get in several digs with that one post. Are you trolling?

The criticism I have of her is her pro-war, anything for Israel politics. Otherwise, she'd be a fine President, assuming she could work with a hostile House. Biden can demonstrably do that. Neither she nor Obama seem to be able to.

If you're objecting to my saying she looks better now, you haven't seen her pics from a few weeks ago, when she looked run over.

2. Smartest thing Obama ever did was win them over
Mon Jan 21, 2013, 08:50 PM
Jan 2013

The 2008 campaign left some hard feelings. Staffers on both sides reportedly had really difficulty in letting bygones be. Today they're valuable allies who've more than carried their weight in making Obama's administration successful. But then again, the Clintons always put country first.

Not everyone who gets their ass kicked by Obama seems capable of not being a sore loser.

And their best chance of furthering that agenda is by working together.

Mon Jan 21, 2013, 11:11 PM
Jan 2013

Where he said it is long past time for equality for women, in the context of the sentences before and after,and of the day it was, with breaking down barriers, it sounded to me like it was explicitly meant to infer that America is now due to break another barrier in 2016 and elect Hillary as 45.

I replayed that five times, and can't think of anything more worthy of that statement.

IMHO.
I fully expect Hillary to easily win, having the one and only thing she did not have last
time, President Obama's voters. (and if you add his and hers, that is going to be a landslide in 2016.

Sorry. Too much a war lover. Look what a disaster Libya turned into - chaos, weapon stocks everywhere in Africa, ensures third world countries will never give up nuclear weapons - all to make Israel happy.

I want Hillary to take some time off. Her and Bill need to do some traveling and go on a vacation. RELAX! Read some books, watch some movies, and just enjoy some quiet Hillary time. Then she needs to write her memoirs as Secretary of State. After that she really needs to think and decide if she wants to run again. Hopefully she gives it a fair amount of thought and hopefully she will decide to run. I'm hoping she makes an announcement sometime in early 2015. The sooner her name is out there the better.
