Even I believed that she would shake the backdoor stereotype that a woman would be too “emotional” to be president but low and behold… the truth shall set us free. The White House is no place for pussies and crying in public for anything outside of death is a PUSSY if you ask me… man or woman. We can call Bush whatever we want but one thing he ain’t is a PUSSY…
HILL GETS WEARY & TEARY
CHOKES UP AMID CAM-PAIN STRAIN
By GEOFF EARLE Post Correspondent
HILLARY CLINTON
January 8, 2008 — PORTSMOUTH, NH - With her dream of the White House in danger of becoming a nightmare, Hillary Rodham Clinton choked up with emotion yesterday and tears welled up in her eyes as she answered a voter’s question about the grueling experience of campaigning for the nation’s highest office.
“It’s not easy - it’s not easy,” Clinton said, her eyes growing glossy as her voice quavered repeatedly in a rare display of emotion from the former first lady 24 hours before voters head to the polls today.
Clinton had her “moment” in a quaint coffee shop on New Hampshire’s sea coast, where she sat at a copper-covered table to take questions from 16 undecided voters, almost all of them women.
Most of her answers were dry policy planks cribbed from her stump speech - until Marianne Pernold-Young, a local freelance photographer, inquired, “How do you do it? How do you keep upbeat and so wonderful?” She also wondered, “Who does your hair?”
Clinton, starting with a joke, cracked, “Luckily, on special days I do have help.”
Then Clinton’s comments turned raw and poignant, as she paused to gather her composure.
“It’s not easy. It’s not easy,” she said. “I couldn’t do it if I didn’t passionately believe it was the right thing to do.
“You know, I had so many opportunities in this country. I just don’t want to see us fall backwards,” she said, her voice breaking.
The crowd gave her a round of applause.
“You know, this is very personal for me,” Clinton said. “It’s not just political. It’s not just public.”
Summoning her poise, Clinton slammed Barack Obama, who has pulled ahead of her in New Hampshire polls.
“You know, some of us put ourselves out there and do this against some pretty difficult odds, and we do it, each one of us, because we care about our country,” she said.
“But some of us are right, and some of us are wrong. Some of us are ready, and some of us are not.”
Clinton’s rare display of emotion won over the crowd at Cafe Espresso.
“She’s a human being,” said Pernold-Young. “I know they say women shouldn’t cry and neither should men, but so what?”
Another woman, Alison Hamilton of Portsmouth, told ABC News she was switching from supporting Obama to Clinton.
“That was the clincher,” she said.
“I teared myself,” said Gloria Cabe, who was Bill Clinton’s chief of staff in Arkansas and attended the event.
“I’ve been with them when he lost elections, when things have happened. And I have one time seen this woman tear up.”
Clinton later dismissed the hullabaloo about her emotional display, telling Fox News Channel, “I am a real person. I have feelings. I care about what I do.”
Rival John Edwards, asked for comment, said, “I think what we need in a commander in chief is strength and resolve, and presidential campaigns are a tough business. But being president of the United States is also a very tough business.”
Obama steered clear, saying, “I know that this process is a grind, so that’s not something that I’m going to comment on.”
Clinton, who would be the first woman president, also vowed to stay in the fight until it was over, possibly on Super Tuesday on Feb. 5, when 22 states hold nominating contests. “Whatever happens tomorrow, we’re going on,” she told the CBS “Early Show.”
Later in the day, Clinton took a shot at Obama’s lack of national- security creden tials, warning that al Qaeda terror ists are keeping an eye on the race.
“They watch our elections as closely as we do,” Clinton said.
At another event, she belittled Obama for referencing two American icons while stumping.
“Today, Senator Obama used President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to criticize me and basically compared himself to two of our greatest heroes,” she said.
“President Kennedy was in the Congress for 14 years. He was a war hero . . . Martin Luther King lead a great movement. He was gassed, he was beaten, he was jailed.”
Relishing his new front-runner status, Obama spent the day on the campaign trail rallying his supporters to turn out today.
“You’re the wave, and I’m riding it,” Obama told several hundred voters.
As a man I have to admit when I am wrong, especially since I usually think I know everything. But Obama taking Iowa had me in a trance last night. With all the Jena 6 issues… white cops killing young black men…. Imus … Sharpton marching for anything outside of BLACK ON BLACK crime…. to see a sea of white people cheering on a black man in his bid to make ,fuck US HISTORY, WORLD HISTORY. How would the worldwide view of America change when the leader of the free world is a BLACK MAN. Maybe my mind has been clouded by the influx of media as it relates to polarizing racial issues to really understand that not all white people see things the way President Bush and his cronies do. Maybe I fell under the spell of those who preach that white people will never give black people a chance… I’ve pasted this blogsite with plenty of those thoughts. Maybe all the talk of brainwashing has left me open to get brainwashed into believing they wouldn’t give us a chance. Because no matter what yall think, a black man can’t make it out here without the support of a whites…. they are the majority. No matter how popular a rapper is in your “hood”, he ain’t gonna go platinum unless he gets those MTV spins in abundance. I thought Obama wouldn’t get those spins in Iowa… even with Oprah lead blocking for him.
Now I realize this ain’t no JESSE JACKSON campaign just to make a statement and fuck with some votes. I never thought Barack wasn’t black enough… the niggas name is BARACK OBAMA… how black do you want a dude to be? I just fell into the whole “no experience-the country ain’t ready” thing and this victory obviously slams that thought. Now he ain’t in the clear but this shuts up all the naysayers,including me. This sucks in all the people that were scared to vote for him because they didn’t want to “waste a vote”. This makes Bonquisha from apt 4D in the Farragut projects look like a genius while many of the “political professionals” that said he didn’t have a chance look like they might want to take a couple more classes. I’m gonna apologize to Obama for not believing. They can’t blame this shit on hip hop…..
So how bout I was sitting at home tonight, bored as hell, and knowing I have to go back to work tomorrow, Im like, yo, its still early, I can get fucked up and still be okay by morning. Mannnnnnnnnn, LOL.
My birthday was yesterday, so the night before, I had a party. My cousin gave me a nick at the end of the night as a gift. Now he know damn good and well that I aint no weed smoker, but I think he felt guilty he aint think to bring me nothing else.
So anyway, I must have put the baggie on the floor next to me when I was on the porch smoking, and forgot it. Because the next morning, I go out there to clean it up and the baggie was still sitting where I left it. On top of that, ANOTHER baggie was sitting on the table. Some other fool was so drunk that he left it laying right there. So happy birthday to me - I got two free bags of trees! LOL!
Now this is the crazy part… ya girl be on them apples so I don’t know nothing bout no weed maintenance LOL. But Im trying to stop smoking them cigars, so I only had one left, which I smoked about two hours ago. My glass is still full, so I need to be smokin something, and my eyes drift over to the mantle where I laid the stuff. My cousin came to blaze me up earlier this year, when I got laid off, and left a dutch here. And yes, I said earlier this year - desperate times call for desperate measures LOL.
I got the dutch off the dresser and came back down to my couch, paper folded, ashtray ready. I was doing alright, after cracking and dumping the blunt, and I even broke the weed up all chunky like, the way I see my cousin do, LOL. Break it in the paper, pull out a stem and a seed, and dump it in the wrap……….. that muthafucka went electric boogaloo on me, and split, all to be damn all down one side. *smh* my man Chevy would be so disappointed in me right now LOL. But I fixed it. Well, actually, I started over, LOL…. what I ended up doing is rip off the ruined end, and the rest was straight. I cut the weed I was using in half and it fit just perfect, but in trying to wrap so tight, I poked a couple holes in the paper LOL. Im resourceful, Ima work it out. I took the piece I had ripped off and wrapped it around, to seal up the holes LOL.
That had to be the UGLIEST damn blunt I have ever. Seen. In my life, LOL…. but that shit pulled SMOOOOOOOOVE, dawg! LMAOOOOO!
And you know what….. you know how I think weed tastes like sausage? I aint taste sausage tonight, so it must just be when somebody else rolls it. Maybe its PEOPLE who smell like sausage…. Where my pen at, that’s a high question, LOL. Del, we need a technical time out. Judge, may I please have a moment to confer with my client? LOL… damn, my gums are tingling…. Ooooh my shoulders too….. its official folks - the high bubble has popped, Im high as shit, and I rolled the blunt myself. Already, 2008 is chock fulla surprises…
I met a nice lady…but alas, no sex. But don’t cry for me Argentina. No No.
Still had an excellent time at the Around the Way Bar.
The Kris Lager Band played us into 2008. Didn’t get to smoke any KBs? Now you can cry for that!
Was too drunk for the afterparty. Lemme tell ya’ll that the party was WAY up in another part of town so…LOL. Sorry. Can’t drive that far as faded as I was. I’m almost 30! That’s my new excuse.
