Hillary Clinton's anger issues

[progunner1957]

Ask yourself this: Do we really want a person with uncontrollable anger/rage issues to have access to nuclear weapons as well as the enormous power of the Presidency???

It would seem to be not a good idea...

RNC Chief: Hillary Clinton Has 'Anger' Problem

When Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman told ABC "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos on Sunday that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has an anger management problem, there's a reason Stephanopoulos didn't look surprised.

"Hillary Clinton seems to have a lot of anger," Mehlman insisted. "When you think of the level of anger, I'm not sure it's what Americans want" in the White House, he added.


Though almost never reported by the establishment press, Mrs. Clinton's angry outbursts are legendary among those who know her best - including Mr. Stephanopoulos, who, according to at least one White House insider, had to absorb Hillary's verbal beatings when he was a top advisor to the Clintons.

Interviewed for a PBS retrospective on the Clinton administration six years ago, former White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers described an incident where the then-first lady exploded at the diminutive aide.

"Mrs. Clinton got really angry," Myers recalled. "She attacked George, which everyone knew was coming, which is why I guess nobody was willing to ride in there to the rescue . . . Everyone just sat there and let George take the beating."

While interviewing Mr. Mehlman on Sunday, Stephanopoulos offered no comment on whether he thought Mrs. Clinton has an anger management problem.

Hmmmm.... When ever I hear of the Honorable Senator Clinton's anger issues, this always comes to mind.



The flavor text reads: He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.

And no, I don't really want another Clinton Presidency.

if you were married to Bill Clinton, you would have anger managemant problems too........

I usually don't think of Mehlman as a reliable source of info since he is so clearly partisan, BUT his observation just seems to confirm the vibes I get from her. She has such a fake cheerfulness...just like my congresscritter Sheila Jackson-Lee. You can just tell that in private they love to boss people around and shout obscenities.

After all of Slicky Britches adventures in office, I was frequently surprised that Al Gore didn't become president by sucession, with a bit of assistance from Shrillary....

 

[cbsbyte]

Sounds like more partisan politics against our next President.

 

[bigbore442001]

If she ever got in, this would probably be a great death blow to the America that we all have known. She is not fit for public office.

Just hope she doesn't convince all of the soccer moms she has changed her spots. Speaking allegorically, when I was younger and still on the prowl she is - personality-wise anyway - what I would have called 'coyote ugly'.

 

[carlrodd]

hillary is one of these people that would go to great lengths to hide a character flaw such as having anger issues. which is ironic, because this is the very least of her character flaws. she reminds me of martha stewart.

I see no reason to insult coyotes.

Thjis kind of infantile remark (and the sophomoric response) makes us all look bad, and is definitely not the High Road. It's her mind that's ugly.

I suspect that's why the statement was qualified to say that personality-wise she's coyote ugly.

 

[Lone_Gunman]

Hillary doesn't look too bad to me, but I am half drunk right now.

 

[Atticus]

Not to defend Hillary (I can't stand her)....but that's really pretty sexist. If a man got mad about something and dressed someone down...he would have 'balls' and a commanding presence. I'm sure that Nixon, Johnson, Teddy Roosevelt, George Patton, IKE, etc. never yelled at anyone.

 

[22-rimfire]

I suspect that Hillary IS an angry person in general. She just looks angry most of the time. It is normal to become angry from time to time. However, people are not the most rational when they are angry. She is concentrating on getting re-elected in NY now and keeping her eye on the presidential race. I don't think it fair to a candidates constituents to run for a higher office while running for re-election. It is not vey genuine. It should be all or nothing. John Kerry did it during the last presidential race. Almost seemed like he thought running for president was a good IDEA, but he suspected he would loose from the outset. He did loose. Al Gore lost too. Thank God!

I don't know that I agree. Howard Dean was pretty much discredited by the media for his outburst during the 2004 Democratic Primary, and he wasn't even mad.

/sexist comment on/

You know, even after spending a million bucks on plastic surgery for her, just as soon as she'd open her mouth, you'd want to head for the border.

//sexist comment off//

You can't fix attitude.

She's moderately intelligent, so she assumes that she's smarter than anyone. She's got a moderate amount of power (or for a long time, she was married to it...), so she assumes she's all-powerful.

And she want to help you. Dammit!

To quote my sig from another board:
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent busybodies. The robber barons' cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ~ C.S. Lewis

It is not sexist. In the case they were talking about, George Stephanopoulos, was her husband's aide, not hers. She was the first lady, not the President.

Not only that, but there is a difference betwen dressing someone down and raging at someone. A dressing down is a controlled outburst used to accomplish a specific goal. Raging at someone is nothing more than using them as a verbal punching bag. There is a huge difference between the two.

 

[markdaniel]

All she has to do is look in a mirror and I bet she is fit to be tied. If my dog was as ugly as her I would shave its butt and make it walk backwards.

 

[BenW]

She was the first lady, not the President.

A big pet peeve of mine during that administration. We're not a monarchy, we voted for A President, not a husband and wife tag team. She should have been spending her time at the White House baking cookies. And if we ever have a married woman as President, the husband should be spending his time unclogging the White House toilets and mowing the White House lawn, not spouting off with, "We are the President."

This topic appears to serve only as bait for low road remarks. To actually address the topic, I think any anger issues on Hillary's part will be offset when she is up against John McCain, who is notoriously prickly himself. At least he is genuine and typically has a point, firing for effect.

True...but the interpretation of the "raging" is dependant upon persepective.
Let a woman fill in for Lee Ermy, and I'll guarantee the perspective would be different. While Lee is 'cool"....she's a crazy screaming "bitch".

Regardless...I still can't stand her and she isn't fit to be President.

 

[Camp David]

I suspect that Hillary IS an angry person in general...

Everyone has bouts of anger but Mrs. Clinton's spats seem different in my opinion... Her recent description of Congress, while speaking in an African-American Church, as a "plantation" seem well charged and directly confrontational... does she have something to prove?

Perhaps it is this => HER CONSTITUENTS:
She knows that New York won't exactly support her strongly....two problems with her NY constituents: #1, she's done exactly nothing politically for her constituents in New York proper and #2, statewide she refuses to travel to northern NY so they almost hate her... so perhaps her political congregation feeds her inner hatred!

Or perhaps it is this => HER POLLING:
New Poll Is Bad News for Senator Clinton; Only 16% Firmly Support Her
Jim Kouri, CPP
January 26, 2006
http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=5168
"New York's junior Senator, Hillary Rodham Clinton, got some rather bad news today. According to a Gallup/CNN poll, 51 percent of Americans say they definitely would not vote for Clinton if she runs for president. A mere 16 percent say they are firmly behind her."

Or perhaps it is this => HER HUSBAND:
Nothing needs be said here... it's all been said before!

Or perhaps it is this => HERSELF:
Hillary is a wife of a politician, a lawyer, a shrewd and selfish politician that will let nothing in the world distance herself from her husband's accomplishments and bring national attention on her own attempts at political success...Indeed.
