Clinton wipes tear as she listens to disabled veteran tell his story
Edited on Sat Feb-09-08 10:46 PM by Proud2BAmurkin
Safe to say it's hard to imagine Obama tearing up listening to a veteran.

Democratic presidential hopeful, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., wipes her eye as she listens to a disabled U.S. veteran in the audience tell his story during a campaign stop at The City of Lewiston Memorial Armory in Lewiston, Maine., Saturday, Feb. 9, 2008.

1. And why is it "safe to say" that?
You've pulled so much stuff out of your ass tonight that I'm surprised you haven't collapsed in a deflated heap. Is there still anything left in there?

14. I'm sure Clinton's response is legitimate.
What's not is the claim that Obama would never have the same reaction. That's the bullshit part.

19. wrong muck
today in ME, a woman with a terribly disfigured face reached out her hand to shake his and he swept her up in a hug, eyes closed. It was clearly an emotional and heartfelt moment for him.

As always, you are full of it.

24. It's "safe to say" that you have made Obama into some kind of "monster" in your eyes.
You need a break.

You're tired.

26. I don't fault Hillary at all for this.
But to claim Obama wouldn't do the same is beyond ridiculous.
