RE: Another display of emotion

Comment comment by Brandon on 12 January 2008

One display of emotion was in response to a question about how hard it is to get up and campaign everyday. The other was in response to millions of people slaughtered because of their race.

RE: Another display of emotion by Anonymous :: NR0

Here we are, arguing appearances instead of substance and issues.

Relax everyone, it's OK. This country survived worse Presidents (this administration not included).

But, since no one will let this go:

Arguably Hillay was tired blah blah blah and she supposedly got emotional to show how deeply she cares about people, issues.

On the other hand, in Israel, Condoleeza did not cry, and she was exposed to the same exhibit. It clearly shows that the President has a more gentle soul and is not cut from the same stone as Ms. Rice.

I am looking forward to a code of conduct for presidents and presidents wanna-be on when it is OK to display some public emotion. (did the President cry around 9/11? if not, why not? does this mean he cares more about WWII victims than current ones? does the President cry when watching Saving Private Ryan?)

What this whole pointless debate about emotionless commanders-in-chief shows is how deeply the gender divide still runs... and the stereotypes that go with territory, of course.

Speaking of which, if Hillary wins, we may see gay folks serving openly in the military. Oh no..
