But it's a sad state of affairs the way Hillary has been treated by the media. She doesn't laugh - she "cackles". She doesn't project her voice seriously - she is "shrill". She isn't compassionate - she cries. None of those things have ever been said about a male candidate running for President.
It's ok for President Bush to "tear up". Hell, look at Rep. John Boehner - he cries on the floor of the House almost everyday.
It is becoming apparent that a women running for President in the USA probably faces as many unfair criticisms as a black candidate may face. Maybe more, because it's ok to criticize a woman in ways that would backfire on the opposition if it were a black candidate.
There is zero doubt in my mind that Hillary Clinton would be a great President. Unfortunately, she is no Bill Clinton on the campaign trail. She seems to unite Republicans more than she can unite Democrats. Republicans are salivating to run against Hillary Clinton. They are afraid of running against Barack Obama because they don't know how to run against him.
If Hillary Clinton is not the Democratic nominee for President, I welcome her back to NY as one of the most powerful members of the Senate.

I don't think Hillary would be a good president at all... in ways that have nothing to do with her gender. She is a corporate tool. Certainly the biggest corporate tool among Democrats... and more than most Republicans, I dare say. Corporations running our political system is exactly what we need to get away from. And President Hillary doesn't accomplish than anymore than President Romney.
