Poll question: Did Hillary look "presidential" talking about infidelity with Tyra?
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 07:49 PM by Perky
I give her props for an honest response,,,but is this something someone running fro president should be discussing rather the economic decline or the War in Iraq.

Does it play well with voters who do not watch Tyra?

3. I think it is a fair question and I was not critical.
It is what is making the news.

2. My take
She essentially said "it's ok for me to forgive Bill cause I want to be prez."

5. I did not see that at all.....I thought it was completely disconnected from politics
I am just having a hard time seeing the political justification for it

14. Your take is rather strange, considering she neither said nor implied nothing of the kind
She said that these are extremely personal decisions and that she would never tell women what decisions they should make in their personal relationships, but that they should always follow their own heart.

And unless you or anyone else thinks that Hillary Clinton is the only woman on earth who has forgiven her husband, then it's a stretch to assume that her reasons for doing so are as callous as you want to believe.

I find it disgusting how judgmental people who claim to be progressive, pro-choice, and open-minded can be when it comes to Hillary Clinton's personal choices. Who are ANY of us to judge the decisions she made about her marriage.

Not only do I refuse to condemn her for choices she made about a relationship that, despite it's public nature, most of us really know absolutely nothing about, I ADMIRE her for her decision to make her marriage work and move forward with her life.

It was my understanding that the feminist movement was about ensuring that women had the right to make choices in their lives - choices about their livelihoods, choices about their bodies, and, yes, choices about their relationships. Sadly, too many people - and far too many women - seem to believe that the woman's movement replaced one form of judgmental imposition of external standards with another.

19. That is what many AMericans believe....myself included
Come on! Your husband has an affair with an intern half his age....he lied about it so you can never fully trust him....the same lout has had multiple previous skirt chasings, all kept hush-hush unsuccessfully, showing a pattern of disrespect for women.....you have a daughter who you would want to show by example how to handle such a lout who doesn't respect either of them any more than this.....

What many American women would do faced with such a washout of a lover (aside from the money, prestige, power afforded by the relationship) might be to follow money, prestige, and power....but most would be ashamed of such a choice. I think most American women would tell the unfaithful lying cheat to stick his wedding ring where the sun doesn't shine and go to hell. At least most liberated women I know. Why on earth would a woman who is liberated tolerate such bullshit, just to be married to a pecker? Unless, of course, you might become president if you grin and bear it, like a typical un-liberated woman would, just let the man sow his wild oats and pretend everything is hunky-dory.

And the reason is a divorced person would have a difficult time running for president. In. A. Nut. Shell. Especially if it is a woman.

10. "Does it play well with voters who do not watch Tyra?" How the hell will they know?
This whole poll is below the belt, as it were.

13. You submit that any candidate should speak only to political issues?
Should Obama then stop talking about his personal story?

11. Bill Clinton could have saved us all a great deal of grief, if he would have resigned and given GORE

the reigns.

Who knows? We might have been able to avert 9/11 with President Gore at the helm.

HRC comes across as conniving, insincere and shameless.

I don't trust her for a NY minute.

No, cancel that call to Wonder Woman.

HRC is NOT "all things to womanhood." :(

17. Did Barack Obama look presidential dancing on Ellen?
Maybe he shouldn't dance when there's a war going on, and the economy's in the tank, etc. Maybe he shouldn't have gone on Tyra either, etc., etc.

:sarcasm:

23. And....
Did Michelle look like a 'first lady' when she grabbed her head after mispronouncing Nevada...I thought that was a real unprofessional response....and if Hillary would have done it, this board would be full of post about it.

21. She kinda looked like a Hobbit next to amazon lovely Tyra.
Hobbits are cute and all, I'm just not sure I wouldn't have insisted on a smaller chair or something.

24. She looked like a woman who had been hurt by a man. But since that never....
...really happens to women, it won't register with anyone.
