HRC:"We used to say in the White House that if a place is too dangerous, too small or too poor,..
send the First Lady".

Sooooo now that we have her definition of "dangerous"...what can we expect from "small" and "poor"??

10. Yep she said that. Mixing lying, awkward humor, and the gender card. Pure Hillary.

2. This really, really makes me cringe, because I'll bet no one ever said that--
until this campaign. It's to add to her "legendary" CiC/combat experience. She's so horribly self-aggrandizing, it's painful to behold.

4. Oh for Christ's sake...
sometimes things we say at work about our customers/competitors/colleagues is never meant to be said in public...someone needs to install a new edit button on the Hillbot '08

7. She proved her point. Photo-ops are dangerous.
Especially when the candidate gets caught lying about them.

15. I guess that's why she only likes the big states now
The others are probably too "poor" for an embryo president.

14. Actually, Bill Clinton visited Bosnia before Hillary did
So her whole "they send in the First Lady" is even more ridiculous because when it was more dangerous the president went. :shrug:

18. I think she meant it as a joke
At least that's how I took it. I don't hold this statement against her.

20. it was said in a light hearted manner
I'm not particularly disturbed by that specific line either. But in general, she reminds me of a salesman willing to say anything to make a sale.
That attitude is one of the reasons that I found 1992-2000 so painful as I tried to defend the Clintons to others.

I'll admit that I gave them a pass on a number of things.

19. I remember when she was sent to Haiti, Cuba and North Korea
It was standard practice that the American President could not go, so the first lady was sent instead. Everyone knows that.
