[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 666239, member: 18958"] I just read this article on Hillary Clinton. I think it might be easier to think about our own mothers by looking at somebody that we kind of know...but on whom we were not dependent. While each of our mothers characters' are different from each other and from that of Hillary, I think Hillary's personality is not entirely working for her (to but it kindly)....She can only see it in a limited way... Just as our mothers are/were limited. This is not a commentary on her candidacy and if she is the nominee I will probably vote for her. But I doubt if she will become president. She is too out of touch with herself. She just does not get it. Even though she says she does. Entitlement/deserving Suspicion. The sense that other's are responsible. Not her. Dismissive of others. The sense of her special status. Grandiosity She deserves special rules/rules are for others. Not her.

It just won't go away. She also believes that questions about her character are coming solely from the GOP. But that is not true, and unfortunately for her, some are coming from women. This woman — speaking of myself — likens her behavior to that of a gridiron star who feels she won't get into the game until the cheers get loud enough to motivate her. She doesn't seem to think other candidates matter, and she's showing disdain for the media, perhaps because she feels she doesn't need them. She's acting like the first-string spot is hers, and she's waiting for the Super Bowl to be bothered. But she better give Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers a call. Rodgers was the backup behind Brett Favre for the Packers. When Favre got hurt in a game against the Dallas Cowboys in 2007, Rodgers got his shot and took it, completing 18 passes for 201 yards, with no interceptions. This was a guy who'd spent 21/2 seasons on the sidelines. This was a guy picked 24th in the first round of the 2005 draft. This was a guy working hard while waiting to work harder. Now, he has the highest NFL passer rating in the regular season. He's the only player in NFL history to pass for more than 4,000 yards in each of the first two seasons as a starting QB, and he did well on "Jeopardy." He's a bonafide star who earned his current status. Rodgers showed up and works hard every game, all season because he knows the Super Bowl isn't promised.
