Call me sexist if you want to. Call me a jerk. Call me whatever you want to. I am Republican by nature. Not because I truly believe that I am republican but mostly because I had such a meager childhood that I am the type of guy that will jump at any chance to rub elbows with people that enjoy money. (Not that money is the main differentiator between Democrat and Republican.) I am sick of the way things are going in our country. I was all for Bush. I liked him, liked that religion was involved in his decisions since I like to think I am a pretty religious man. But, I like Barack Obama for the upcoming election. I don’t know why. I think that Senator Hillary Clinton has too much baggage to be our president. I personally don’t know what was stronger of her during the Monica Lewinsky scandal. I am still torn to this day. Was she strong for not leaving Bill Clinton after everything came out? Or was it a sign of weakness that she didn’t say F-you! to him and kick him to the curb? Being Catholic, I have to believe that she did the right thing by not leaving him, but deep down in a dark corner of my mind I wish she would have divorced him. You know why? Because I fear that if another country that we are in cahoots with gets caught with their penis in another countries mouth, Hillary will forget that it happened much like she did with her husband.
Harsh? I guess so. I don’t mean to be, but I am. And her breakdown today secured my concerns. This is a snipit from the Chicago Tribune today:

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – One does not see Hillary Clinton’s eyes get misty in public very often, so there was an instant buzz in the room when she got choked up today in a café here.
The moment, which certainly appeared unscripted, happened near the end of her visit with undecided voters, as she was asked how she gets ready in the morning, how she keeps looking good on the road and who does her hair.
“It’s not easy,” she said, in her usual coolness. “And I couldn’t do it if I just didn’t, you know, passionately believe it was the right thing to do.”
But as she continued, the New York senator’s eyes started welling up.
“I have so many ideas for this country,” she said, choking up. “I just don’t want to see us to fall backwards.”
“This is very personal for me,” she said, regaining her composure and getting back on message. “I’ve seen what’s happening, and we have to reverse it.”
Then, she got choked up again.
“Some people think elections are a game,” she said. “It’s about our country. It’s about our kids’ futures…Some of us put ourselves out there…But we do it, each one of us, because we care about our country. And some of us are right, and some of us our wrong. Some of us are ready and some of us are not. Some of us know what to do on day one, and some of us really haven’t thought that through enough.”
Regaining her composure, Clinton confessed to being tired from the rigors of the campaign trail.
“This is one of the most important elections America has ever faced,” she said. “So, as tired as I am, and I am…I’m going to make my case, and the voters get to decide.”
I don’t really know what to say. Once again, is it o.k. for a woman to become a little emotional? Yes, it most certainly is. Do I feel comfortable knowing that when things get tough our leader is going to break down and shed some tears in front of America? Not at all. Not one bit. What country is going to fear us with a leader that is going to cry when things get tough? None that I know of. She is not the least bit intimidating. I can’t say that Barack Obama is a very intimidating fellow either, but there is a silent badass quality to him.
