Senator Hillary Clinton, An American Hero
Posted on my blog from a Canadian Dr who met HRC the day after 9/11 at Ground Zero:

Senator Hillary Clinton, An American Hero
by Dr. Carolyn
February 8th, 2008 @ 9:38 pm

The following is an open letter to Senator Hillary Clinton, a woman who I consider an American Hero. I composed this letter with the hope that it might help undecided voters reach a decision. As outlined in the letter, I am Canadian and, therefore, have no personal gain from supporting Senator Clinton in the primaries in America. But, readers will note that meeting Senator Clinton at Ground Zero provided me with much comfort during a terrifying time.

I hope that all who read this letter will give it thought as you decide who you will support in this election:

3. And in those days after the 9/11 attack,

when she went about helping the people of NY with no fanfare, she was still booed by the &^%$ing
firefighters and police when she went to speak to them months later. She did more for them than
bush ever did, yet they were so caught up in their pavlovian like, media generated hatred of the Clintons.

A few years later, she was their best friend and they were very supportive of her second Senatorial
campaign.

I have never seen anyone able to take such appalling hits on herself and survive. And she survives
with grace and dignity and forgiveness.

I think the country is about to make a terible mistake falling for the Obama hysteria sweeping the
country. They have shoved aside a truly great leader in exchange for a shiny, new savior.
