Why Hillary Is the Boss

[DemocratSinceBirth]

It does not surprise me that it takes a woman to sit before a partisan panel and keep her cool. What does it take to do that for over eight hours, taking a grilling from people who most likely are not as smart nor as experienced as you? Age and experience. Childbirth. Marriage. Menopause. And a life in politics.

Many of the faces on the Benghazi panel looked weirdly modified to me. Hillary doesn't do Botox, hasn't had a chemical peel, a nose job, or a face stretched like small sized pantyhose over an extra large sized leg. She's not trim. She looks her age. Hillary Clinton has been around a long time and it shows.

I always felt Hillary wore her heart in the right place, and that place was never on her sleeve. Yet I voted for Barack Obama for president twice. I admit that I wanted an African American as president in 2008. African Americans were forced to build America with their bare hands as an enslaved race. They never got retribution for it, either. They were oppressed in the most profound way, and suffer now from decades of discrimination on every level.

To make it to where Obama did you've got to be better than everybody. Much, much better. I felt African Americans were overdue and Obama the was perfect candidate to break that barrier. He was eloquent, level-headed, intellectual, and he lived in Chicago, where I grew up. So my heart went even softer for him on that count.

1. Oh, yeah - she's a Boss alright.

But I stand with Labor.

2. Be happy

I don't regret supporting Obama over Clinton. I believe Obama has done things Clinton could not have accomplished, action on health care being the primary example. I also think Clinton would have us more deeply involved in Syria by now, a could not have brokered a nuke agreement with Iran. I think you cast your vote correctly.

13. I agree. The MIC controls this "boss":

There is no one in politics more likely to co-opt (e.g. adopt) the lies and the policies of her Republican attackers than Clinton.

Her perennial stance at the State Dept. was to attack and destabilize Middle Eastern countries as soon as some rioters are killed.

At least Obama had the sense to repudiate her 'attack in the name of liberalism' mindset and try to correct her bias at State.

3. "his pubic humiliation"

not sure of that's a typo or pun untended

EDIT to add: thinking its a typo. Several in the piece

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. I caught nit picking.

But I don't want to be pedantic...I wouldn't put anything in print without running it by an editor.

[GusBob]

10. I counted 10 errors of grammar or punctuation

at least. No one is perfect but jeez...letters that should be capitalized that aren't (Oval Office), letters that shouldn't be that are (Family, Hearings, The) , missing hyphens all over the place, a missing period, knit picking, American's(sic) finest moment

Yes I am pedantic. She needs an editor

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. It's the "internets"

In the print era it would have been cleaned up first.

[GusBob]

12. Shit, I found another one

Nora has a problem with the Caps thing....no wonder she aint a Bernie supporter

4. Who in hell wants a boss?

Of any gender or ethnicity?

6. No thank you. We don't need a boss, we need a public servant. n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. For what's it worth boss=awesome for anybody under thirty...

For what's it worth boss=awesome for anybody under thirty in "like a boss."


Hilary handled the Benghazi Committee "like a boss."

[Hiraeth]

9. Sure. She is boss enough but, will she be boss of the USA? that is the question.

[Armstead]

14. Yeah she's really enlightend

"I don't want to see another white male in The White House for as long as I live, unless he's gay. Openly."

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. A gay pres would be cool...I hope to live to see it...

eom

[Armstead]

16. I agree -- But that's a fairly shallow criterion if taken alone

[senz]

17. In America the people are supposed to be the boss. Nobody else.
