Hillary Loses Her Cool

[Texan Guy]

Oh, I wasn't aware that was Hillary. I recently saw her on the news. I guess I didn't recognize her.

Same here. I almost didn't recogize her and she surely gained some weights since the election.

She is human. We all make mistakes and sometimes on the job too. Anyone who criticizes her for that is expecting perfection from a human being. Good luck!

Agreed, Condi Rice does made mistake too so no big deal.

that was not a mistake. Mistake is when you misspoke about something. How does "losing your cool" constitute a mistake? Maybe it's just me but I don't really define "losing your cool" as a mistake.

She didn't handle that very professionally. She could have just cooly answered, "You'll have to ask him that question."

Suppose she had been elected President; would you want her to "lose her cool" in a crisis?

As Secretary of State, she has to deal diplomatically with people all over the world. She better get a grip.

You and I rarely see eye to eye on political matters, but I have to agree with you. Losing her cool on something as benign as this doesn't bode well for her. As you said, she better get a grip. She has three more years of this at least. That's a long time to have to practice diplomacy if you're more inclined to lose it. And, God help her if she loses it trying to deal with more serious matters.

Not at all, Shel. She is human, yes, but there is a way to answer questions and she blew that one. She could have used a heck of a lot more tact there, and she didn't. She just ended up looking like a bully. When you are dealing with other countries that look down upon women, you need to know how to respond to certain things that don't make you look too aggressive.

She blew this one, I'm afraid.

It's not just you. I see it the same way.

Yes, I second that.

Yes, nobody is perfect!



To my opinon.

Hillary find right word to speak except her behavior. I can understand where she come from but she should answer in friendly and polite manner when she received any questions when she don´t like.

If you were referring to my post, then I have this to say...

There is a time and place for it. Dealing with other leaders sometimes calls for diplomacy rather than aggression. Hilary needs to know when to be aggressive and when not to be. She came off looking rather defensive and that's probably NOT the impression she wanted to leave, I'm sure.

right word but wrong behavior? not at all. you cannot say that exactly same words in a polite, friendly manner. Those same words were hostile and unprofessional (in a crude word - stuck-up & bitchy). Perhaps she should learn a thing or two about answering unwanted question from her good daughter Chelsea. Remember when a rude reporter asked Chelsea a very rude question about Bill Clinton's scandal during Hillary Clinton's campaign trip at Butler University? She handled that gracefully and professionally.

The same as Hillary did? I don't recall that.

It's too bad people aren't as forgiving when it comes to Palin or other conservative women.

She didn't appear aggressive or even assertive. She appeared overly sensitive and snotty.

"Bill is not state of secretary, I am" is right word but she should handle in polite manner way without show her angrily or argessive impression.

Example of all. (true story about Princess Diana and Sarah Fergusion).

Sarah companied her husband to Australia soon after birth of their first child. Media described Sarah as a bad mother to leave newborn home for 2 months and should take Diana´s role as an example. (The media remember that Diana took baby William with her to Australia with Charles).

Sarah answered in polite and friendly way without angrily impression that "I am not Diana............"

Oceanbreeze, my comment was not intended to blame you. I'm making fun of a cultural imperative. In our society, women who are "aggressive" are angry, shrill, hysterical or out of control. Especially in the South, where women are expected to fit the Southern belle stereotype. Need I say that I've never fit that mold very well?

I do not see anything that Palin´s similar behavior as Hillary but slander, etc. Palin created slander, not Hillary and Hillary´s behavior manner, not Palin.

The comparison, you tried to make between Palin and Hillary is a moot.

I believe you missed out couple more sentences, Liebling. Those very sentences made her as arrogant, hostile, and unprofessional.... even without angry expression.

(correct me if I'm wrong with her statement but this is the best I can from lipreading her along with quotes obtained from article)

" You want me to tell you what my husband thinks? I am not going to be channeling my husband. My husband is not secretary of state, I am. "

Yes, you are right that those word (red font) she spoke is not acceptance. Another word (dark red font) is right without angrily impression.

Are they not both "human" and make mistakes that should be forgiven?

I wasn't referring to any "slander."

Even "My husband is not secretary of state, I am" sounds petty and unnecessary in her response.

 

[Jiro]

ah-ha - here are exact words - "Wait. You want me to tell you what my husband thinks? My husband is not the secretary of state. I am. So you ask my opinion, I will tell you my opinion. I'm not going to be channeling my husband."

whoa! so angry! c'mon! it's a Congolese student! don't get so angry at a boy! calm down.

This is what her daughter Chelsea answered to a very rude reporter who asked her about Bill Clinton's scandal - "Wow, you're the first person actually that's ever asked me that question in the, I don't know maybe, 70 college campuses I've now been to. I do not think that is any of your business."

Perhaps Chelsea should serve as an Ambassador or envoy for Africa!
