Alisyn in the Greenroom

For Crying Out Loud

I’ll let you in on the buzz is in the Greenroom this morning — Hillary crying.   Off-camera and during commercial breaks, our guests are still talking about the moment on the campaign trail yesterday when Hillary welled up and her voice cracked.   Even Republicans like Ann Romney, Ari Fleischer and Margaret Hoover think her tears were genuine, though everyone has their own opinion about what triggered them:  some say exhaustion, Ari says it’s that she feels her lead slipping away.  What do you think?   And I promise to respect your opinion — unlike Lanny Davis (did you see that kerfluffle between Brian and Lanny???)

I am surprised Brian is still in the studio, all the way down here in Florida I could feel his desire to leave New York and drive to NH to defend F&F.

 
Comment by Tom

Clinton is acting. Remember the Ron Brown funeral. Bill comes out the back laughing until he sees the camera and then sheds the tears. Everything the Clintons do is calculating and deceiving. The question was a plant and the response was prepared.

 

Oh those tears were fake Alisyn.

The timing of the tears was perfect though. If anyone votes for her simply because of that then that person ought to loose their right to vote. This is not a popularity contest, nor is it a feel good contest either, it’s suppose to be the time to pick the best, most qualified person to be president.

The TV cameras have made people loose focus on the task at hand.

 
Comment by Mike Klarke

What I think we are seeing when Hillary’s tears well up is total frustration of not getting her way, like any spoiled child that’s used to getting her way. The cameras are rolling so she unfortunately can’t stamp her feet, jump up and down, scream, and throw herself on the floor until she gets her way. Ah, to have been a fly on the wall after Iowa.

 
Comment by Donna Beford

I actually think that they were geniune tears. I also think she is geniunelly upset that her lead is gone, her message is not connecting and that the wheels seem to have fallen off her campaign bus….

But Alisyn what I really want to comment on is Bill O’Reilly not mentioning you in his Patriots Pin heads segment…..does he really watch the show?????? The fact that Fox and Friends is doing soooo well is that you are part of the line up you are hilarious and your timing is just perfect!!!!!!We love you here in South Carolina! The news is awful most of the time but having you as part of the news team where I get a lot of my info helps!!! You are just a breath of fresh air! You are a great team player with Steve Brian and Gretchen and I just wish that they mentioned you this morning as part of the reason that the ratings are up!!!!!!!
Thanks!!!!

 
Comment by Doug

I am afraid she is just like her husband who could turn on the tears at any time. He was caught
several times in the act.
I am sure that she is upset about falling behind in the polls and getting a little sympathy can’t
hurt.

 
Comment by keith Romer

First of all, thanks to Brian for defending the viewers right to believe that they might have been manufactured tears. I watch fox news not because I am a biased conservative news junkie out to get Hillary, but because you guys are the best. I almost woke every one in the house with shouts as Brian layed in to the gentleman in NH slamming Foxs viewers. Now as for the tears. I am at a loss, I believe Hillary would stage something like that because they understand the media and knew it would get airplay. She has to balance out her image and play to the opposite of what she has been doing in tearing Obama to peices. I do not see Hillary as a patriot, she is not a selfless person, party and politics mean everything to her, not honor and Country. She was playing us. Alisyn, you have a great show with Brian and Steve. I wake up an hour early each morning to catch you all. Thanks for a great start to the day. Tell Brian I said thanks.

Comment by Ed Reining

Kudo’s to Brian on that exchange!

I think Hillary’s tears were real, but not for her reasons of getting America back on track. I think she is realizing that her plans, long before she met Bill Clinton, of being president were slipping away.

I remember this joke about Hillary & Bill being on the campaign trail and they stop at a station. Hillary recognised the guy who came out and filled their tank was someone she had dated before she married Bill.

Bill turned to her and said, “Well can you imagine what your life would have been like if you married him?” She said, “Yes, you would be the one pumping gas.”

Comment by Brian

The tears are real. But they are tears of failure. It was not a moving moment like a funeral but a reaction to what she knows is happening to her campaign.

 
Comment by keith Romer

Thanks to Brian for defending the viewers right to be skeptical. You all have a wonderful show. Her tears where manufactured to bring an equal contrast to the monster she has seemed like these last few days as she tore into Barock. Hillary is devoted to Party and politics, not honor and Country. She is no patriot, she is attracted to power not patriatism, she is good at what she does though I will give here that.

 
Comment by Megan

I was so happy to see how Brian stood up for Fox and Friends viewers during the interview with Lanny. Regardless of what anyone thinks about Hillary and the issue of the tears, they are still allowed to have that opinion! It made me proud to be a part of the loyal group of viewers who watch every morning. This is one of the reasons we watch this show!

Thanks for always starting off our mornings so well!

 
Comment by Rich D

I’ll assume her tears were genuine because I don’t see how her reaction would help her campain. It definitely makes me question whether she would be the best choice to lead our country. It certainly seams like her campain is falling apart. She needs a win before the snowball turns into an avalanche.

 
Comment by Michael

Didn’t Romney well up just a few days ago and everyone said, ahhhh, he is human?

Exhaustion and frustration got to her and she showed a little emotion. Big deal! Still don’t want to see her back in the White House.

 
Comment by Julie in GA

I feel like Hillary’s tears were real, but I think they were in response to her realization that her campaign for the presidency is just about to end. I think she “just knew” that she’d get the nomination without a problem. Then came Obama!

 
Comment by bill

it shows hillary cant handle pressure. she said it was personal for her. well i dont want someone thats in it for themselves, to put another nother notch in her gun, i want someone thats in it for the american people

 
Comment by Paul

Nothing the Clinton machine does is spontaneous. This little display was as fake as her smile.

 
Comment by Kathy in Texas

Acting, Bill coached her how to do it. She is sad she might lose, a real life pill she just might have to swallow. I think she feels betrayed by the Democratic voters, but thanks to Lanny French I can now remember why I can’t stand her. Lanny treated the viewers like idiots and Hold on THANKS BRIAN!!! Never thought those words would leave my mouth, my daily observance is to chide BMK. We pay Lanny’s salary, what an idiot!

 
Comment by Ed Reining

When Molly tried to get Hillary’s attention I noticed she looked straight at the Fox mike and turned away. Not only her but all the democratic candidates seem reluctant to talk to Fox News viewers. With the debates the Republican candidates have faced Chris Mathews, Tim Russert, Brian Williams all left wingers (Did not get Alisyn’s note on anchors not showing bias).

I can only think that the Democratics candidates do not have anything to offer the people who view Fox News. Have they checked the ratings out lately?

Comment by Tiamat

Crocodile tears … Completely bogus … You’d think that with all of her celeb friends, that they would’ve taught her how to create real tears & mean it …

Her acting is worse than George Clooney’s … They both deserve “Raspberry” Awards for bad acting …

Everything the Clintons do is pre-planned … with a whole risk-reward analysis done prior to it … She foolishly thought the reward for breaking down into tears would be bigger than the risk of people seeing through her sideshow act …

We got snow again this morning … I think it’s snowed here more often than in NYC … LOL

There’s some great pix of the snow at Mt Baker on their site … videos too …

Real or fake? It’s 50/50 at best. One thing’s for sure, crocodiles don’t cry.

 
Comment by Rebecca

I am 14 years old and have been watching your show as well as other Fox News shows since school is on break. I hear your station say your are “Fair and Balanced” but I have to disagree. I think some of your hosts are mean-spirited and condescending. I was taught to treat others with respect, even if we disagree but all I hear is negative comments. Why is that? I thought News stations owed it to their viewers to be fair and not one-sided. I thought Brian Kilmeade was very out of line this morning and it showed me he is a mean person, like Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and O’Reilly. They say their views and expect the public to buy that…isn’t that just like Osama bin Laden and el Qaida? They want everyone to think, act, believe like they do…as terrorists are that way. Is not Fox News somewhat like a terrorist? America is full of people with all kinds of views and it is just plain mean that most of your hosts want to take the joy out of life by being excessively critical, judgmental, egotistical and very condescending to those who have different opinions. I do think Bill Hemmer is nice and I respect Major Garrett. They do not fit the mold of the other Fox folks. My wish for 2008 is for Fox people to be nice and treat ALL people with respect and dignity. I don’t think you all would like hearing such bad things said about you.

 
Comment by Jean

Oh man, when we saw that newsclip of Hil”lie”ary’s tears last night we all looked at one another and laughed. Did you notice, even her makeup was softer yesterday. She is trying to make herself look less cold and unfeeling. IF the tears were real, and I do mean IF…they were less likely a result of her “personal feelings” and more a reflection of her stalled campaign. We are in a suburb of Rochester NY and we are NOT fans of the Clintons. As much as we’d like her out of NY we’d really hate to see her in the White house!

 
Comment by T & Me

I think it show WEAKNESS and the last thing we need is to show any weaknesses! and with a few acting lessons and I can cry on que too!!! If we cant trust her now how are we to trust her to protect us! I would hate to see Her or Obama get the election, because I know someone will assassinate them! Than who would we be left with?? So maybe we should be asking who would be on the ticket with them because that is who will be our next President!! Sad but true we are not ready for either one to be our next Pres. I know many will not agree with me but Thank you for the platform to share MY opinion.
On a side note I cant believe I have been up all morning(4:00am ct) to watch but come time for the ASS I MISSED IT!!!! please post it soon!!

 
Comment by Rebecca

This will be an excellent topic for my Civic class….Fox will not post my comment. Is that being fair and balanced?

 
Comment by Marissa

I do believe the emotion Hillary demonstrated was genuine, and resulted from physical exhaustion. Under these circumstances, I feel great compassion for her. I also hope that “we the people” do not see this as a weakness in a woman, and something powerful in a man (case in point - Mitt Romney).

Whatever we believe to be her true passion, herself or her country, her position on our country’s issues, and our confidence in her ability to get things done, should be the basis of whether we vote for her or not.

Most of the bloggers here (me included) will vote Republican anyway, so why are so many of you so harsh? We chide the “contenders” for negative ads, yet we can be as nasty as we want?

 
Comment by Marissa

I agree with Donna Beford!

Bill O’Reilly is a pinhead for not mentioning you, Alisyn! Your personality positively influences the energy level every day!

 
Comment by Kirk Gonzales

I am not a fan of Mrs. Clinton but I don’t think she was faking it. Bye the way when is the press going to start asking the candidates WHAT they are going to change and HOW. The change may not be what people may think is for the best. Keep up the great work. F&F are Patriots

 
Comment by John McPherson

After seeing this woman on the national stage for more than sixteen years now and witnessing all of the staged tender moments with Bill and the manipulated press conferences, anybody that believes a word she says would believe anything.

 
Comment by Joe in NY

Could be real, most likely given the history of the pair, its a very detailed calculated act…

funny, we NEVER heard anything more from the “mentally unstable bomber” in the Hillary HQ….

totally calculated to draw attention to her when she feels ignored or on the losing side….

 

Hilary shed a tear? Hardly genuine. Exhaustion, yes. As Dandy Don Merideth used to sing–”the party is over”.

 

I do believe that her emotion was genuine. However, I believe it comes from the flustration she is experiencing at not being the winner in Iowa and now possibly losing in New Hampshire. She has believed she was guaranteed the nomination and she can’t believe someone else can connect with actual voters better than her.

Politicans like to say people just don’t understand the issue they presented or it’s too complicatied for voters to understand. People do understand the issues and are much smarter than politicans like to think. The people do seriously want change and I don’t believe she represents real change but just more of the same.

A side note - normally I’m not an LSU fan but pulled for them last night against Ohio State, after all they play Florida and my old school Arkansas and beat us both. However, I must say to the Tigers - Congratulations on a convincing win!

I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the idea of Alisyn and Doocy as terrorist! lol

Ahhh, could it be the great poo poo conspiracy? :lol:

 
Comment by Marissa

Hello Rebecca -

I hope you can see that the blog has posted your first message - as long as you keep it clean, it will be posted. I share your sentiments when watching (or reading) anyone be too harsh, too critical, too judgemental.

You stated at the end of your blog entry that you don’t think the hosts will appreciate hearing your negative opinion of them. Well, I bet they do because you seem to be motivated to influence positive change, and not just put them down. My advice to you is to pay some attention to the negative criticism directed to you, because possibly it is just meant to be constructive, and will help you move forward and be successful. Examine the intent, and dismiss only that which is mean spirited.

Now to engage in your discussion….I’ve been watching various FoxNews programs for years, and can tell you that each program has it’s bad moments that make you cringe. I have taken “breaks” from watching certain programs because I just don’t like the energy and message. But through the years, I can also tell you that my impression is that FoxNews TRIES to be fair and balanced, and not just CLAIM it is fair and balanced.

Good luck with your civics class! I wish they had that class when I was a teenager!

 
Comment by Adam

The reason I think anyone has even questioned Hillary is because the Clintons have proven themselves to be deceptive and dishonest on many occasion throughout their public and professional lives. The real crying shame… is that a person of low moral substance such as Hillary has made a serious bid for the White House. That my friends is what we in the south call scraping the bottom of the barrel.

 
Comment by John from NJ

I feel the tears were real from the pressures of her campaigning and loss in Iowa. If she were to become President and a serious crisis would occur, what would she do then? We do not need any whiners in the White House.

Several elections ago, another Presidential hopeful also cryed (cannot remember his name) and the media made a big deal out of it. He lost his bid to the Presidency.

 
Comment by Patricia in Ohio

Come on - she is so fake. Give her an award for acting. All Hillary cares about is the polls and winning. I don’t trust her at all. She may be smart, but she is unethical. Anything goes as long as she wins. I really hope her little crying scene works against her.

 
Comment by Mary Lou

I want to thank Brian for defending the Fox News viewers this morning when Lanny Davis was being so rude and mean-spirited. Lanny Davis was being excessively critical, judgmental and very condescending to those who have different opinions. He wants everyone to think, act, believe like he does…just like the terrorists. Is not Lanny Davis somewhat like a terrorist? My wish for 2008 is for Lanny Davis to be nice and treat ALL people with respect and dignity. Thank you Fox News for bringing us the truth each day so we can make informed decisions on our own. You are true Patriots!

 
Comment by william b jones

i have never seen anything genuine from mr . or mrs clinton in all that they have done.they are out for themselves and that is the bottom line for me .

 
Comment by Johnson

I do not trust the Clintons. Period. Tears or no tears. Somewhere inside these folk there is bound to be a heart that may someday swell up the size of a chicken gizzard and make some genuine expression. But for now, I doubt it. Go Obama.

The democrats will likely choose him. He reminds them of so much of Camelot. Idealism dies a slow, hard death. Hillary can’t top that. That will be good for the republicans in November. Obama can be beaten by a republican this time. But give him 8 more years in the Senate and 8 years demonstrating wisdom, and he will likely be unbeatable.

Can you imagine Hillary in the Executive office for 8 years? That would mean that the highest office in our nation would have been controlled by two families (Bush and Clinton) from 1988 through 2016: 28 years. Surely not!!

 
Comment by Candace Brewer

I really don’t think that this is news worthy. We need to be talking about the issues and the differences in each candidate and the changes they plan to institute and the steps they need to take to accomplish these changes. The quality of my life and the future of this country does not rest on the validity of Hillary Clinton’s tears.

 
Comment by Linda in Ohio

I think her tears were genuine. She is trailing in the campaign race and I think she realizes she may not win. She thought she would win and maybe reality is setting in.

 
Comment by Byrd

I believe the tears were sincere. I think they showed the “personal” side of Hillary that she has been needing since Iowa. I think she could have done it when in Iowa and would have been more effective than now. My problem with it is it shows weakness. I don’t want a president that is going to cry after something like a “cuban missle crisis” where she has been working solid for 13 days on end without sleep and not looking fresh and rested. The tears don’t need to be flowing when she has to make hard decisions. I want a president who acts presidential, not like a weak, worn out wife. Sorry, but that is how she looked to me.

 
Comment by Michael

No A.S.S. today? Did someone have a headache? 8)

 
Comment by Diane/Orangeburg, SC

I’m posting late but I have an opinion on the Hillary crying spell. If she’s going to cry over something discussed at a table full of women, what’s she going to do for our country when asked “how do you do it President Clinton?” Is she going to whale up and cry? I would love to see a woman president, but a strong one. Bush took us to war and being dragged to the curb for making a sound decision, what will the people do to Hillary if she starts to cry in the Oval Office?

 
Comment by Ken

Way to go Brian. I saw the show this morning and i was screaming at the TV for someone to take Lanny Davis on with his comments. That is one of the reason I only watch FOX. Mr Davis is a GREAT example of how the Clinton gang operates. Nobody cares if the Democrats ever appear on FOX. It’s their lost..

 
Comment by john O'hara

Maybe Hillary can go to St Thomas with Bill and Dance on the beach again. They make me want to “toss my cookies” Her tears,if genuine, is the “power slipping away”! Nothing more nothing less!

I enjoy you guys early morning. Don’t watch anything else. It is always refreshing!

Comment by Joe Musto

Whether Senator Clinton’s tears were real is not an issue to me.

Nothing had transpired which could have justified tears from a Presidential candidate. If the tears were fake, then it was an attempt at manipulation which evidences lack of integrity necessary to serve as President. If the tears were real, then the incident evidences lack of the maturity, judgment, strength and courage necessary to serve as President.

My opinion is that there has been a pattern of attemps by the Clinton campaign to create false impressions to mislead voters. Senator Clinton’s campaign admitted that it arranged to have one or more specific questions directed to the Senator at least once at a campaign stop. I watched the Senator one morning on Fox & Friends when her appearance at an Iowa diner was televised. Given the early hour of the interview in Iowa time, and the presence of television lights and cameras, I am suspicious of the fact that all of the booths at the diner were filled with attractive and neatly dressed persons, that none of those persons appeared to eat anything, and that none of those persons looked even once at the Senator or at the camera. It appeared to have been staged.

I wish that there could be an investigation of the “disturbances” at the recent Clinton rally at which two different individuals held up signs and demanded that the Senator iron their shirts. The incident appears to be too convenient for coincidence. The Senator lost in Iowa, and she sees Senator Obama being endorsed by the youth vote and as the change candidate. The incident could very well have been staged in an attempt to generate attention and votes by reason of being the only female candidate.

It is not my nature to be a conspiracy theorist. It is simply a matter that staged or planted incidents regularly occur when Senator Clinton is involved.

One a better note, I really enjoy Fox & Friends. I have watched the show for years. Keep up the good work.

 
Comment by Dennis

I think they were polically expedient. I am drawing that conclusion for two reasons. First and foremost during the debate on Saturday night she was critical of Both John Edwards and Barack Obama for connecting the campaign of “change” to being personal with her “let’s get real” for real change we need experience motif. Then the tears came with the “of course it’s personal” tag. The second reason I have is because of the jadedness of the polical machines where any “emotives” are seen as done for political gain…my proof…most of the comments above. After 8 years of “Clintonia” how can we accept anything either one of them does or says?

 
Comment by Heather

I’m not a Hillary Fan, never have been. I think she’s a little too close to communist. I have no problem with a woman president…as I am a woman myself….just not her. I think she is fake. If the tears were fake…I don’t know why she would want to show that. The rest of the world will look at that and see weakness, if they see the president as weak, they see America as weak. If it really was just from exhaustion or frustration….WHY ON EARTH SHOULD SHE BE ELECTED!!???!!! If she can’t handle just the campaign…how on earth would she be able to handle the country???? And what it really boils down to, whether they were genuine or not, is that it shows the world that she is weak. The world is watching us, our enemies are watching us, and they’re gonna see that. We don’t need that kind of weakness being our country’s leader.

 
Comment by Becky

Could you post the Brian and Lanny scuffle. I missed it this morning.

Love Fox & Friends.

Thanks

 
Comment by Brock Spaulding

These are the Clintons we are talking about! They are power hungry and will do anything to get it. These tears, much like the “iron your shirt” heckler are easy to see through for the frauds they are manufactured by the Clintons.

 
Comment by Kathy J. in Orlando

PLEASE! She was faking it all the way. I was starting to like Obama until I saw this video clip. The “change” he promises to bring may include dismantling all of our country’s traditions and beliefs…which is very dangerous. This should give you a little insight about the Ba ROCK!

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/anthem.asp

I don’t believe this was an oversight! Perhaps he needs to answer why he did this, first no flag pin, now this?

 
Comment by Gene B.

Those tears are a caculated Joke…Hillary Cry?? you ‘ve got to be kidding-That is Funny….
Hillary is self destructing…because she is very cold and just plain mean And he Husband’s addition to her campaign is killing her..I couldn’t be happier..we need someone in the white house who will continue to protect America -not run the other way…walk away from Iraq? Are you insane?

 
Comment by Luis

Ding, dong, the witch is dead…………………crocodile tears……quite pathetic. Stop wasting time on this dinasaur

 
Comment by Nicky Reynolds

Fake or real, I don’t want the possible future leader of the free world crying when it’s only the primaries. What’s going to happen when she has Al Queda knocking at her front door or she has to make a really tough choice during a crisis? I’m sorry, but she I’m a woman, and I think she needs to man up or get out of the game.

 
Comment by Dante Laurenzo

I think that if she can’t handle the heat stay out of the kitchen. I mean what if she happend to get elected and then Al Quieda commits another attack on the US???? What is she going to do then? just ball up in a corner and cry.

 
Comment by Carl

Brian aced this one… the tears were real enough, but she was crying for herself. It was clearly disingenuous for her to feign a real concern for her country, and more than a little condescending as well.

 
Comment by Jane

We will know if they are real tears after Hillary and Bill lose the only thing they really value: power. Then we can compare and contrast video. My guess is they are a coldly calculating team that will let nothing, including marital vows, get in the way of their need for power and the tears are genuinely fake.

 
Comment by jim

Lanny Davis is a goober…..Brian was right and thank him for taking up for Fox viewers. Hilary would’ve been more believable if she wouldn’t have gone after Obama at the end of her cry.

 
Comment by Mary Chalker

Re: Hillary’s tears, who needs an emotional president when we are in a war on terrorism?

 
Comment by Karen in Pennsylvania

Don’t be overwhelmed by a few tears for the camera. Yes, she has a vision for the USA, and it’s not a vision the people of the great country want. She “loathes” the military…never forget that. Don’t forget the School To Work plan to choose those who will attend college and those who will be trained to fill the “other” jobs to suit corporate need. Tears? HRC tears are crocodile tears. She only cries for herself. She doesn’t care a speck for this country except that it is the vehicle to her throne. Thank you for this opportunity to express my opinion, such as it is.

 
Comment by jfkdem

Her ‘tears’ coupled with her complaints of being tired and not getting to exercise everyday and having to eat pizza didn’t really engender any sympathy from me.

My thoughts went to all the working single moms holding down 2-3 minimum wage jobs keeping their families afloat (they are probably more tired than self-absorbed Hillary) and the people whose sons and daughter have died In iraq in a war Hillary authorized without even (by her own admission as somehow that absolved her of blame) reading the material provided to her as a senator.

There are lots of reasons for real tears in this world - but not faux tears or tears of self pity.

I’m sure leaders around the world took notice of the seeming meltdown.

Why would anyone want this woman to be commander-in-chief.

I hope to see a woman in the White House in my lifetime - but not this one!

She should withdraw instead of further hurting Bill’s legacy.

 
Comment by Dave

I’m suspicious of everything the Clinton’s say and do, and Hillary’s tears and breaking voice are no exception. But I think she miscalculated this time. And, as Brian (I think) mentioned this morning…if she’s genuinely emotional, it’s because she sees the very real possibility of her coronation slipping away…and, after all, it’s all about her….isn’t it?

 
Comment by John

In my opinion the tears were fake, calculated, and meant to get a sympathy vote. However, if the tears were real, how would she handle the pressure of another terrorists attack if she was, God forbid, Commander in Chief?

 
Comment by Donna Smith Acworth, GA

I think she is really crying because she is weak. No wait, she is not really crying because she is a fake. Tuff call.

 
Comment by JudeInOkla

I think the tears were out of exhaustion. Then, I wonder, what would she do if she were president, in a foriegn country after many hours of negotiations?!?!?!

 
Comment by Donna Smith Acworth, GA

She is really crying because she is weak. No wait, she is faking crying because she is acting. Tuff call

 
Comment by Juli

I think the tears were real but I think her main problem was her exhaustion. When you’re as strung out and tired as all of these canidates have to be, anything can make you well up. It was obvious though, that the timing for this “softer side” was spot on. I do believe that she cares about our country and the people in it. However, I also believe that she probably cares more about herself than either of those. Either way, I don’t care. Cry all day darlin’. Not voting for ya!

 
Comment by Rick

Fake tears. Most likely imported from China.

Reptiles can’t cry.

 
Comment by Doug

Kilmeade called it. Hillary’s crying was real…but due to her emotional reaction to voter rejection.

 
Comment by Kati Kirkpatrick

The tears were fake. I agree with the question being planted, not like Hilary hasn’t done that before.

I am amazed on how people seem to conveniently forget the things that Hilary does, like plant questions. She says she can handle the pressure, but the second someone says something she doesn’t like she says it is because she is a woman. I think this shows that she can not handle the pressure.

Hilary’s only reason for running for President is to be the first woman President. I think if Condoleeza Rice were to run, Hilary would back out. I also think that if Condoleeza were to win that we would never hear from Hilary again.

She claims to have experience and proof of this, but refuses to release this proof. Then she shouldn’t run until she does.

 
Comment by Sandra

Probably real; but, only because she is finally realizing that people really don’t like her! Both she and Bill are two faced and have learned how respond in a way that would benefit them. Yep, saw Lanny Davis. He’s such an A! I wanted to reach through the tube and strangle the crap out of him. You can tell he has CNN shoved so far up his butt that he is constipated.

 
Comment by Paul

I think it was a crock or SH(*. To me, Hillary boosted about being the right one because of her experience. What experience, as the wife of the president. I don’t need her to be the 1st lady again. She took from the people, by removing things from the white house. I am ex-military and her behavior toward military is common knowledge. Even on the presidential aircraft. I personally don’t believe the rhetoric she has spat out. She is no more qualified to be pres. than I do. Her breaking down was the culmination of reality striking her. For once she has seen that she isn’t all that and that she can loose. Regardless of what Bill says.

 
Comment by Stephen Perez

This reminds me of Bill’s fake tears udring Ron Brown’s funeral in 1996. To creak up in voice and them in the same breath mention Obama’s lack of readiness is indicative of the fake sincerity.

 
Comment by Tony S in Florida

I thought about the first 15 seconds was real, then the conniving, self serving ‘biotch’ kicked in and there was nothing less than malicious intent in the balance of her response. Spewing venom, similar to Lanny Davis, and soon James Carville.
Three cheers for Brian and Bill O’Rielly for their disdain for unwarranted behavior. When I was being obstinate while growing up, my mother gave me a backhand across the shoulders. I always snapped out of it.
Go Fred!

 
Comment by Donna Smith Acworth, GA

It looked like she went right into the sad mode. Like a switch was turned on. She always gives me the feeling she is acting. Her husband has the same effect on me, they seem like fakes. Funny how they always have the “RIGHT” answer.

The tears and cracking voice — probably real. Reason for them? Frustration and hurt because so far she hasn’t done as well as she expected (and was led to expect).

It is too presumptuous of anyone to state at this point that this emotional let down shows that she is incapable of handling the pressures of being President.

Hillary is crying because she has not shirts to iron!

This is a classic case of the straight A student getting a B (or worse). HC is the type of narcissist who doesn’t have a fully developed coping mechanism to deal with a lukewarm review from others, and it manifested itself yesterday in a moment of desperate self-pity. This episode is like when the dam begins to crack, and that first bit of water starts to spray out. But, before the dam breaks wide open and HC hastens the demise of the Clinton-era, Begala and Carville are going to put a couple of fingers in the dam and a couple in the wind. Meanwhile, papa Bill is going to use his finger to chide everyone that brought poor HC to tears.

She was crying not because she is concerned about the country……..she fears she may not win. When will people see that both Clintons lie …….pretty much all the time. Come on people.
