Was Clinton sincere at the debate when she said it was an honor to be there with Obama?
I just had a dark thought that maybe it was all BS because she knew what she had in store for him in the next few days following the debate. Either way, it does kind of seem disingenuous now to me. That's too bad.

1. I think that's a pretty obvious "no."

3. Apparently not. It looks now like it was a setup.
Kind of hard to think that was sincere with the unbelievable onslaught she has launched against him since the next day. She is throwing the kitchen sink at him now, and hoping some of the slime will stick. Amazing to see. She is burning her bridges behind her and making it virtually impossible to win even if she were to somehow wrest the nomination from him.

6. No, she's sincere when she cries for her own ambitions. She's sincere when she loses her temper.
Otherwise, completely insincere.

Her body is merely a life support system for an EGO.

7. No. What about Hillary Clinton is sincere? She changes her tune so often -
it's difficult to determine if anything she says is sincerely or merely a poltical calculation.

9. news keeps playing "im proud of obama" and "shame on you obama" right next to each other
Edited on Mon Feb-25-08 01:50 PM by meow mix

12. Hillary is as sincere as Dick Cheney
She deserves an interview with James Lipton at the Actors Studio.

13. She may have been sincere, and now need to give proof to her supporters she is not giving up. Or she
was not sincere then. That's politics.

If she was sincere both times, though, it should raise questions on her stability.

14. Answer to you question
She was being sarcastic that Obama is a cult figure. When she put out her hand to point him out he shook it. Her joke was deflated and interpreted to be her concession speech.
