Call me an insensitive pig. I don’t care.
Imagine seeing the above headline in the NY Times or the WP (the insensitive pig musing isn’t that to which I refer).
Picture George Bush making his case for war to the UN, (take camera two) and a tight shot of the President of the United States of America with tears running down his cheek.
I have nothing personal against George or Hillary. I’m neither endorsing nor berating any party. And I believe that the decision-making emotional side of women keeps love alive and many of the world populous from killing one another.
I also believe that the majority of people view perception as reality.
When it comes right down to it, I don’t want any world nation to view the United States as a country that cries, EVER.
Don’t get me wrong, crying is a good thing. There is a lot of stress in the ever-day lives of every-day people. I would expect to see a president or a presidential candidate cry at, say, the funeral of a loved one. But that’s about it.
I haven’t made my decision yet, and I probably won’t until the chad puncher (or stylus in SC) is in my hand. I will vote while preserving the responsibility of being informed voter. I will vote for whomever I believe will best serve our nation. I will not vote for someone who cannot keep emotionally in check when the cameras are rolling.
There is no crying in baseball.

Oh, pshaw! I might have agreed before viewing the video. What I saw was merely an exhausted woman, a person, being passionate about something she believes in. I’m not in the Hillary camp, but that’s the most real I’ve seen her to date. I’m not say she needs to cry more – far from it – but a little more of that kind of honesty might get my attention.
