So if Obama gets a little emotional is everyone doing to say he's doing it for votes?


Sorry, Sing, I have to disagree. Presidents need to have their emotions under tight control at all times. They have the ability to send our kids into harm's way, and they have the codes for the nuclear football. Presidents who don't control their emotions well get us into ill-advised wars (see Bush, George W.).

If she was having an unguarded moment, then it makes her less competent to be President. If she was using her emotions for political purposes, all well and good, but she better be ready for someone to call her on it.

Way, way south.
Sing, Mr. Peepers and I were mocking a Seinfeld episode when Jerry's girlfriend cried at more inappropriate times (she didn't cry when she found out her Gram died, but did cry when her frankfurter fell on the ground.)

Really was just a joke about that moreso than Hil.

Not speaking for MB Guy here, but Hill is also a joke, imo.

I think there is a difference between controlling your emotions and shutting them off. Our leader should be compassionate, and understand the consequences of their decisions.

I don't think that Hillary or any other canidate is going to starting crying in the oval office. This is a very trying time for all of the canidates and they are all bound to crack a little.

Nope, he's another guy. Doesn't count any more than the Bushes.


Lets see if you take that same stance when its Barak vs the Republican. I bet you'll be making excuses for him too. Especially since he does not carefully consider anything.

Yoss,

Do you really think she is doing it for a reason other then to get votes? If so, I overestatimated you.
