Any person whether male or female who run for office knows what the US needs or they wouldn't run. Viewing that video again only shows me that Hillary is the only one that knows what is good for our country - not. I feel she is the only one that doesn't know what our country needs and it is a strong person not a weak one shown in that video. Everyone has passion for the US not just Hillary. You and I have a passion That is why we have elections. That is why we vote. That is why people run for office because of their passion.
I just hope that when push comes to shove that all the candidates that are running are scrutinized and voted on for their knowledge and not because she is a women. It is not time for a women to be President, it is time that a strong person be elected President

Hillary is a strong person alright Libra. I don't for one minute believe the "tears" were genuine. I doubt that she does anything without calculation. Politicians from the beginning of time have put on public shows to evoke desired results from the public (think Tricky Dick's Checkers speech when you read this). Her pollsters probably told her she was being too much of a hard a$$, hence the welling up of tears as she spoke - to show the soft side of Hillary. And by God - it worked!
We aren't electing a "best friend" here. She is qualified and strong enough to be President. We don't have to "like" her.

So you think the tears were a fake? I didn't. I think it showed a weakness that the US at this time doesn't need. I see better things in Nancy Pelosi than I do in Hillary. In fact I see it in Rice also. Condelesa Rice faces obsticles every day but I haven't see her pout like that. Madeline Albright was a strong women. I don't believe Hillary is. The Governor of Kansas is a strong women. Kathleen Sebelius, a democrat elected in a Republican State.
Her speech was after the State of the Union Message and if you didn't hear it is agreat message.
Everyone has a passon for their country, at least they should and the BEST person should be elected president. Not one because she is a woman.
It was talk in here about Romney and his religion. Does anyone actually think that his religion has anything to do with running the government? Do you think we should elect Hillary because it is time for a women? Do you think we should elect obama because he is part black? Elect the President that is MOST qualified. JMHO.
