Sting Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Bill Clinton was a likeable guy. Obabma seems like a likeable guy. George W Bush and George H W Bush seem like likeable guys. They might not really be, but they give off this impression... Hillary doesn't seem that likeable. John Kerry didn't either. Bob Dole came across badly, too. They might not really be, but they give this impression... As qualified as they may be and as much as they spend to tone their image for the public if they don't come across as likeable they are normally going to lose. Hillary has her fans and they can't understand why her negatives are so high and why the Democrats are flocking to Obama, but they are going to have to realize that a great deal of people just don't like her. She might really be warm, caring, and compassionate, but she comes across as very cold and calculating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHSDad Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hillary's own mouth has hurt her. Not what she says but the voice she says it with. Her indignant screech is like fingernails on a chalkboard. She needs to watch other female leaders like Thatcher to see how its done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladiesbballcoach Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 I think a key moment in this election might be yesterday when Hillary teared up talking about her passion for this election and this race. How she wants so much to do great things for this country and it is a passion of hers. I thought it might be a key moment in which she let down her steely resolved and showed a human side. It might be just the thing she needs to jumpstart her campaign. Contrary to some beliefs on here about me and as I have said in the past, I hold great respect for Ms. Clinton and how she stayed committed to her marriage and making it work despite the failings of her husband. She impresses me that she took her marriage vows seriously in the death do us part bit. That is a missing trait in this nation and, to me, especially to my gender. If she was pro-life, I would give serious consideration to supporting her. She ain't, so I cain't. (I know I misspelled it but wanted to rhyme things.)

Or is it that we have different expectations for females? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on your view. GWB is portrayed as some dull-witted fool. I don't think anyone would ever describe Hillary that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard GWB scream. Hillary is making the same mistake that Howard Dean made in 2004. It's not a male/female thing. Its about sounding presidential.

Run To State Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Bills coming unglued. He's blaming the media for going soft on Obama and calling Obama's campaign and stance against the war in Iraq the biggest fairy tale he's ever seen. He's doesn't loose very gracefully, does he? :lol: :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcesFull Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I think for the first time, many Democrats are beginning to see both Clintons the way most Republicans see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladiesbballcoach Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Newscast tonight had Bill calling Obama's support of the war, a fairy tale. Seems Clintons are switching up their staffs according to the NH coverage tonight. They are not pleased with the media handlers and that the media is not more critical of Obama. They are getting new media handlers. In addition, they are hiring people to find critical stories on Obama because they believe the media are not working hard enough to be critical of Obama. In Hillary's defense, I think she has to get a bump from the impressive showing she is having at NH when the polls indicated that Obama was going to thump her. she might win it.

Ms Liberty Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 The Hillary Billary act bother everyone . She is hurting herself , she doesn't need Bill to help her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmom Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I have a question....What is the context in which Bill made that statement? I'd be interested to know what he was asked, or what comment was made that he replied to. I hate these kinds of threads, where we get a statement to make fun of, but nothing is supplied that gives the whole story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
