This deep difference, he argues, is not understood by the mainstream media: To the editors of the New York Times, the quality of leadership seems not to be an "issue." The ability to unite the country is not an "issue." What Obama calls the empathy deficit -- attunement to the experience and needs of real people -- is not an "issue." Honesty is not an "issue." Trust is not an "issue." Moral judgment is not an "issue." Values are not "issues." Adherence to democratic ideals -- rather than political positioning, triangulation, and incrementalism -- are not "issues." Inspiration, a call to a higher purpose, and a transcendence of interest-based politics are not "issues."

I saw this video where she got a bit emotional. The first time I saw it I was concentrating on observing her reaction. The second time I paid more attention about what she said and her claim that some people know what they will do and others don't struck me as such a cheap trick. No need to act as if you are desperate, because you fear that a win of your opponent would mean that your country will end in the gutter. I can not imagine her to be the kind of person who would be desperate, but I can see her being pissed off because she didn't get something. I don't like to see this kind of dishonesty in politicians; people who are not able to stand up for who they are, and that includes being someone who wants power, are also the kind of people who will bow to others and sell their own convictions. She is weak. Ok, she is probably the product of a patriarchic society. If she were a man she would have it easier. ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think I don't like her.
