Hillary Clinton Tries Anger

Hillary Clinton went before cameras on Saturday and got angry. Looking stern, talking tough, and waving Obama campaign mailers in the air, she accused the senator from Illinois of Karl Rove-style attacks against her, and that he should be ashamed of himself. You can view the clip here.

I can understand her frustration -- with the mailings, as well as the campaign -- but this is nothing more than a political tactic. Crying doesn't seem to be helping her enough anymore, so now she is trying anger. How do I know this? Because the mailers that she is so upset about are weeks old. Fellow PoughkeepsieJournal.com blogger Jeremy Blaber wrote a post about the mailers (complete with pictures of them) three weeks ago! And in this age of constant media attention, the Internet, and instant 24-hour news, it is, to me, preposterous to think that Sen. Clinton's campaign was not aware of these mailers until now.

LOVE the title of your blog!

You write: "...it is, to me, preposterous to think that Sen. Clinton's campaign was not aware of these mailers until now."

To me too. I think Senator Clinton has given years of service and should be applauded, but now it's time to turn the page. She is being ill-advised. In a belated attempt to appear human, she is coming across as hormonal. It's sad because despite the fact that I don't support her bid, I think she HAS given of herself, and she shouldn't be remembered simply as a sore loser and a harridan. That's the danger now, though. It must be very difficult to see straight in the midst of the campiagn hurricane, but I hope she finds a moment to do so soon.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
