Hillary missed a great opportunity today
She is a very smart, articulate, intelligent person. She has her fingers on the pulse of what is being
said among the Democratic communities in the real world, and in cyber-space. The way both her 60 Min reply
and her comments about McCain have been 'received'- and some people would say 'spun' is something she is
VERY well aware of.

That being said-

She could have taken the opportunity to publicly clear the air, before the polls opened- Putting herself
in the limelight- in order to clarify her TRUE thoughts/statements about both these issues. She could have
shown that she does have the LEADERSHIP qualities of personal integrity, and the desire that truth, NOT media
fueled hysterics- steer the American publics conversation. But she said nothing.

Even if she had no genuine intention of smearing Obama with her words, her lack of clarification- IN THE DEFENSE of TRUTH-
says more about her desperation to achieve her goal- at any expense, than the words she DID speak- and DID allow to
be received the way they have been. Not just by Democrats- but by Republicans as well. Win at any cost?


Remember, it is everyone of us paying the price.


peace~

2. I really would like to give her the benefit of the doubt- always-
despite how the words may sound- how the media spins, how even my own ears hear,
-try to look beyond some of the words, at the deeds.

Her deeds are not encouraging to me.

I do, in all seriousness, wish here peace.

This election means far more to her than it should. (IMO)


:hi:

peace~
