Hillary Chokes Up While Discussing Chelsea On CNN

Hillary Clinton choked up Wednesday as she told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that her daughter's presence on the campaign trail had been one of the "most incredibly gratifying experiences of my life."

"Well, it's one of the most incredibly gratifying experiences of my life, as a person and as a mother. I get very emotional," she said. "She is an exceptional person, and she's worked so hard, and she's done such a good job that I'm just filled with pride every time I look at her.

Enough with the tears. You always let them flow when you sense the end is near.

[RoseL]

As a mother, I understand how tears can flow when your children fill you with pride. But as a non-Hillary supporter, I am NOT impressed! We've seen it happen too often, so it means nothing!

too often, I can think of three times she choked up counting this one. Hope and change is so nasty!

[LannyMacD]

Yes, and false emotion is pathetic. She has done this before, and it proved to be nothing more than a ploy. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Try it a third time, and you're likely to be picking up your teeth from the floor; no one likes being played a rube.

Pull your head out of the sand and take an objective view of your candidate for a minute and you won't be overly impressed. As an independent I was most interested in who would show the most character and prove to be the most Presidential during their campaign. Both have had their mis-steps, but one has managed to continually show more character and stay away from the mudslinging and dirty politics. Ms. Clinton's behavior was more than enough to force me to look over the Obama position and make my decision for me. Ms. Clinton, and her supporters, charted my course and made my decision that much easier. If you are looking for someone to blame in her downfall look no further than her behavior and that of her supporters.

WAAAAAAAAAA - my baby who has as much experience as I do to be a Senator now that she's campaigned with the great ones, her daddy and me. WAAAAAAAAA but don't ask her any questions.

[presto]

Are you nuts?

[Zanti]

No, just mean. And a poor writer.

[maxfusion]

Bull, just making it up a again. All the angry lesbians, where will they all go now? Oh that's right they all work for NOW, well at least for now.

[presto]

I seriously hope you are not a Democrat.

[mooph]

The "Situation Room" has flowers, window shears and warm, soft, pastellie colors?

Hey Wolf, thanks for your Baba Wawa impression.

[naschkatze]

LOL. Done to soften Clinton's image?

[jcahill]

post of the day lol

[Terriac]

This is a Hillary Clinton I can still respect. I may not be supporting her, but this is a human being, showing honest emotion about something dear to her. We really haven't seen enough of this side of her during this campaign. Maybe it would have changed her result. Maybe not. But it's a side of her we rarely ever see. That's a shame.

[ObamaFarmer]

The Clinton campaign calculated that now is the time for an "honest emotion".

Too bad she couldn't crank out more "honest emotions" earlier in the campaign.

So manipulative. IMO, it's a last-ditch effort to draw a few more sympathetic (gullible) followers to her sinking ship.

Cry on your own time, Hillary. Running the country is serious business.

I guess we'll have to conclude that you're not an Obama supporter.

[shinybear]

"Showing honest emotion" on camera with Wolf Blitzer?

[cooltxman]

but she is not human

[suzyku]

Another phoney hillarycrite moment. I'm sure she's hoping she'll have another New Hampshire moment and cry her way to the nomination! Enough. Maybe she can cry her way to some "class" and gracefully exit this race so we can get on with the real election in November!

[presto]

Why are you so desperate to have her quit? It's almost over. What is the problem with everyone? The choking up was obviously not phony. Why is it so important for everyone to believe that it is? Surely you don't think that will make a difference in the election. That is nonsense.

[ObamaFarmer]

If there is an impatience among us Obama supporters, it is due to Clinton's irrational insistence that she will continue to battle Obama, even after she loses the battle for delegates.

Call me crazy, but I don't like the idea of Clinton and her supporters threatening to hand the presidency to McCain, just because they're not happy with the results of the primary.

[katzooks]

Chelsea has been a wonderful asset to Hillary on the campaign trail. She is a gem of a daughter.

Hillary's tears, however, are but one of the many masks she wears (testosterone girl, nicey-nice colleague, self-effacing human being, genteel southern lady, articulate politician, just one of the guys, and so on). When Hillary tears up, you can be sure she's working either a demographic or a distraction.

[presto]

Nicely summarized litany of name-calling.

[ObamaFarmer]

It's not so much name-calling as calling it what it is: Clinton's penchant for situational reinvention. I have trouble trusting her, because every day she seems to be a different person.

[Chandidevi]

Wolff, the Zionist, is a big-time Clinton supporter.

[Ihaveadream]

He used to work for AIPAC

[meileen]

What, no insults yet? Are the Clinton haters sleeping?

[robXdion]

We are phasing her out now. This is too easy and goes below the pantsuit line.

[clintfatigue]

I hope the pantsuits are tailored with room for the testicles.

[dawlishgal]

Oh, please....how many times has Hillary claimed to be following the rules, then the very next day, punched another candidate below the belt?

The Hillary racists are still at it, calling everybody who chose to support somebody else "Hillary haters".....it is easy to project ones' own hatreds on others...anybody who has studied bigotry knows that.

[presto]

Keep reading. The vitriol and ad hominem sludge is live and well.

[shinybear]

I was just day dreaming trying to figure out exactly WHEN Chelsea got her chin implant.

[ObamaFarmer]

No insults required. This obvious play for sympathy will be mostly ignored, as Ms. Clinton's continues to disappear under the weight of real news.

[Mattie]

I wish they would look up the words hope and change in the dictionary, I don't think they know what those words mean, Obama supporters write some of the most hate filled posts anywhere. I can't wait for him to be defeated in the General. What a nasty bunch!

[ObamaFarmer]

I've seen "hate-filled posts" from both sides. The vast majority of us, however, are Democrats who see the big picture and will support the winning Democratic nominee.
