Hillary Clinton has been lambasted for the crime of showing "emotion" in recent days, like it's a bad thing. Has anyone thought that perhaps if we had a president capable of emotion (beyond greed) we wouldn't be in the mess that we're in now. Someone capable of true emotion might weigh up the loss of life against protecting our oil interests in Iraq and come up with a different strategy. They may look at those who have inadequate health care or live in poverty, and be upset enough to actually do something about it.
It seems the media have become hysterical about Hillary's "emotional breakdown" but if you watch the video (click HERE to view) the woman barely teared up. Britney had an "emotional breakdown," Hillary by contrast, for better or worse, just cared enough about the state of our country to show a little emotion (something anyone in their right mind should be rather "emotional" about right now). The only commentator who seems to have it in perspective is The Daily Show's John Stewart, who on last night's show quipped, "That's it? That's the emotional breakdown that blows the election for her? I'm glad no one here ever sees me get a flu shot."
Personally, I'd like to see a few more leaders that are upset about what's going on right now, and care enough about it to cry. As for me, I'm sobbing for my country inside.
