Check it out...someone asks an innocuous question about her hair and Hillary chokes up. Looks like Obama's victory in Iowa is getting to her. Is someone as emotionally fragile as she appears to be suited for a job as difficult as the presidency?

Story Highlights
Clinton begins talking about how others have criticized her, gets emotional
She was with mostly female voters in New Hampshire on a campaign stop
"It's not easy," she told them
The New York senator is trailing Sen. Barack Obama in polls
TOUGHEN UP IF YOU WANNA BE PRESIDENT
God, she's acting more girly than Gay Boy for chrissakes.

I'M GETTING PWNED BY A NOOB
-

I think she figured "I can put up with Bill getting his knobbed slobbed by this Vampira-looking bitch, gotta keep my eye on the prize...EIGHT YEARS FROM NOW I WILL BE PRESIDENT HUAAAA"
And now she's getting owned by a skinny former crackhead.
-
Hillary feels your pain!
-

I heard she thought about divorcing his ass but was convinced it would hurt his presidency - and then of course there was her own political future to think about. I don't think this was an act, it seemed more like my little cousin crying after I take her Gameboy away during her bouts of insolence
-
It'd be different if she got choked up from hearing from the relative of a soldier who'd been injured or killed in Iraq, or from a grandma who couldn't pay her prescription drug bills or something...but nooo, she's all like "Running for president sure is tough... *sob*"

Imagine getting beat continually by a 5 year old at Virtua Fighter 5, in public. That's pretty comparable to this

Good one, PD. :lol

dont encourage him :/
-
Come on, that was pretty awesome.
-
I guess it's too close to home for SOME PEOPLE
-
well, Bill sometimes cried when he saw people living in poverty but that was probably for the camera.
I highly doubt Hillary is that emotional over this. She's just trying to get sympathy. She needs something to compete with Obama because electing a woman is too different and then it'd be like 20 years of Clinton and Bush.
-
Anyone catch the O'Reilly show? He had a professional "body language interpreter" on that was dissecting practically every little muscle twitch she made in that clip. :lol
The verdict was that it was genuine...but then again a politician on her level would have been extensively coached on body language, you can't tell if it's rehearsed or not with a person like her. This was funny regardless, it's such a fucking woman moment. ::)
-
I think Hillary is just an emotionless robot who has been programmed to survive by mimicing the attributes of those surrounding her. Didn't she revert to a southern accent when giving a speech in a southern church a while back?
In this case, her audience was probably mostly dumb, middle-aged women who get their news solely from Oprah and The View.
-
They are real tears. Tears not of "OMG I WANNA HELP THE COUNTRY" but rather tears of "HOW THE FUCK AM I LOSING?"

When a woman cries you hand her dirty laundry so at least her tears will have some good use. ;)

Amen brother. After she's done w/ that, it's back to the kitchen. Women are supposed to be seen, not heard.

Yeah. The tears are coming from the fact that her carefully constructed run is crashing down on her.
-
I honestly think tears from anyone should be made in the backroom, not in front of worldwide coverage
RUSSIA 2009! SOMEWHERE IN MOSCOW!
"Our plan is to make American President CRY! THEN WE GET ALL WE WANT! MUHAHAHAHAHAH!"
-
i thought it made her look like a human. Whats wrong with crying?
-
its not a position of strength, while social norms are by and large stupid, its the perceived reality for just about every leader in the modern world. I mean say Osama sent us some video but in the middle he started crying about how he just wanted the best for his followers and its so hard to live in a cave so often...who would take him seriously anymore?

We would if he still flew planes into buildings.

actions do speak loudly, but after a run like Bush, I am not certain EVERYONE is willing to take chances on presidential nominees
-

Nothing is wrong w/ it. :) fucking baby. :P
-
Its just...none of the other candidates have chosen to cry on camera..which begs the question as to why Hillary did. It either makes her cold and calculating, or it makes the other candidates appear stronger.
-
I think it's the most likeable she has been all campaign, quite a change from her shrill Ice Queen voice she usually puts on.
-
you only like a woman when she cries!
-
There's no way it was staged. Her campaign aids may be losing this election, but they aren't dumb enough to advise a PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE, worse yet a female presidential candidate, to cry on camera. That's suicide.
-

Actually, I am a sucker for their wiley tricks. Good point.
-
haha

Agreed. If she wanted to look more human, there were much better ways of doing so.
The tears are simply a result of her campaign unraveling. She did well in the polls for a while but the first caucus, she got 3rd place, the lowest spot on the first tier. Now Obama looks to snatch NH from her as well. She is in a tight spot and I think it is taking a large toll on her, hence the crying. Now Fox News, Limbaugh, and the rest of the tard pack now have some ammunition to launch against her.
-
I hate it when my wife cries.
It's like. "Wtf bitch, why the fuck are you crying? It's just a baseball bat for fuck sakes" :P
-
Lets be real guys, she didnt actually cry.
-
Someone do this :santocry to Hillary and make it an emoticon.
-
Imagine if she wins the nomination. This crying situation isn't going to go away, and like Experiment said the right is gonna keep hammering it while throwing in terrorism jabs.
"is she going to cry when osama releases another tape lol, i think so!"
::)
-

Doesn't matter. This can be turned into the Howard Dean Scream of 2008. In the age where soundbites are everything, unfortunate as it is, Hillary unloaded a gold mine to the Glenn Becks and Sean Hannitys of the media.

omg! you are so right! We don't need someone crying when Osama says something about her mama. Not to mention do we really want vag blood fucking up our WHITE House?
Damn liberal hippies.
-
My cable has been out for weeks so I haven't been able to check the shows - but has anyone noticed the right wing talkers mentioning this? I heard O'Reilly had the "I know what you're thinking if you scratch your chin" lady on his show, but other than that?
-
Oreaily pushed an an Obama staff member. It's all the rage on the liberal blogs.
-
campaign journalism :lol :lol :lol ::) :-\

The media tried to turn this into a Dean Scream, spontaneous combustion moment for her campaign, and I think that the women of New Hampshire said "fuck this misogynist shit" and rallied in the end around Clinton just enough to give her the close win. I can't blame them either, given that the double standard seems to be:
male politician crying = impassioned, emotional
female politician crying = hysterical
which is some grade-A bullshit
-
i'm not saying that
Yeah, not saying you or anyone here in this thread was. However, all of the major news networks and many regional papers were going crazy over the whole thing.
Staged or not-and I certainly believe it wasn't staged, given her comments right after the moment in question-it was the media reaction and dogpiling that probably pissed off some women and got them to vote for Hillary.
There's another lesson Democratic voters should take away regarding this whole thing-if they want a candidate who will get a the most fair treatment in the media, Obama is CLEARLY the superior choice. The good old boy punditocracy won't dare make generalizations about African-Americans, they will get darn nasty against a woman candidate.
-
i'm not saying that... i'm saying
Male politicians crying = staged act to boost campaign
Female politicians crying = staged act to boost campaign.
male politicians crying = who the fuck cares
female politicians crying = who the fuck cares
campaign punditry = lol

tennin tells it like it is
