Even if Hillary did have a tear or two, who cares?
I'm not the biggest Hillary fan, although I'd vote for her in the GE if it comes down to it. However, this shit about her "crying" is just too fucking petty. It's not as if she were sobbing on camera. It was an emotional moment, and if she had to wipe away a tear, who really fucking cares? Is it really that important? If Obama, McCain, Romney, or any other male candidate did that, people would be remarking about their genuine emotion - but when Hillary does it, she's accused of faking it for political points.

Oppose Hillary because of her stands on various issues. But to slam her because of this is just stupid and petty.

3. If Obama had cried a little during a speech
it would be the most awesome thing to some people around here. But, Hillary can't even get a little misty-eyed without people criticizing her. I cry a little during commercials that are sad and I use a whole box of kleenex during a sad movie. So what?
