...you're so right, who knows what is real. However, I don't think his comment was cold. I guess it's all in how you read it, don't you think. And remember, she stated out her campaign on being the first woman president. All the other stuff was media hype and everyone knows that. And yes, the media has given her hell, which I don't like either, for any of the candidates. The media seems to want them to fight instead of explain their candidacy to the people. That's why politics overall needs to be changed, if you ask me. Thank you for your comments. They are always welcomed.

I don't think it really matters, b2008. Most of it is posturing anyway.
Who knows what is real with these guys? And I don't think this soundbyte hurt Hillary half as bad as it might hurt Obama. He was pretty cold with his comment, "You're likeable enough, Hillary." Who knows? What I find sad is that at least Obama has found a distinction upon which to outpace his race in this process. Hillary can't get outside of her being a woman. She's too soft because she's a woman. No, she's too cold for a woman. She can't handle the pressure because she's a woman. She overcompensates because she's a woman. Hell, she can't win -- because she's a woman. Like her or dislike her, she's been treated unfairly through this entire process -- as has been Obama and Romney (just not as roughly).

b, it's hard to tell in public life who & when or whether someone
is telling the truth / lying / acting / faking..it doesn't have to be but it is..the human race learns that as early as in kindergaten unfortunately..so we have to sharpen our own sense of objectivity, listen to others' opinions, and then make up our own minds..those are some of the expectations of us living in a free, democratic society, and I'm fine with that..hope that helps..your sensitivity about feelings is commendable and your ability to present / discuss them sincerely is highly respectable !, blessings - Ash

And you guys are right...
...I just can't help feeling bad about a lost soul. She is feeling awful now and a little defeated. It's not nice to rub dirt into an open wound. I believe people should be better than that. Don't kick an animal when he's already down. And the media who was all over her when she started and she could never do no wrong, and the ones now who are showing such disrespect. She's still human. Why is it necessary to show hate, meanness or any negative behavior toward losers?

Yes people especially news reporters can be very mean. But, as seedling said, it's a game and politicians should expect it-- Hillary should prove she can lead in US and not break down to a reporter...

Glennb...
...I accidentally deleted my very first sentence. It was offensive to her because she is a very strong, cold, hard personality type of person and to let down her defenses down by showing humility was hard for her to do.

...it's because I cannot help but feel someone's pain when you I can see it in their eyes. If I had heard her statement without seeing her, I might not have felt that way at all. But it's hard to mask your true feelings when they show in your eyes especially when you know her hard defensive facade. For her to break down and act humanly was painful for her. And I saw it.

B2008,
I would like to know: Why did that question "hurt" the feelings of Mrs. Clinton? I did not see nor hear the interview. If as you stated, it seemed a "fair" question in regard to the personal "appeal" of Mr. Obama???

NO!
No winning isn't important enough to put up a facade about who you are and what you stand for. Once you get in there the curtain will fall and everyone will know the real you anyhow. i dont understand why the candidates cant just be themselves and enjoy the race and attention and do whats right for the country! this is getting ridiculous!

It's a game, the candidates are on a chess board, that they themselves set themselves up for. No one is blind sided going into American Politics. It's a dirty, hair pulling, name calling game. Of course it's terrible and if Hillary's feelings got hurt...well, she of all people should know better. This does not make it right, but, again, Hillary knows what chess board she set herself upon.
