Sam,

Could you please explain to me why nobody gets that? I keep trying to explain it, too. They defend it. They shout names. (I have made two of my friends and two of my relatives pretty mad at me -- so far. Maybe that is why I keep ranting on here. Maybe I can get it all out of my system so that I can behave better in person. I really do like to get invited places.)

But something is so very wrong with this picture. The handlers must want her to act that way. And that very thought, in and of itself, is terrifying from so many different angles.

You and I both know that the woman who enters an important meeting is quite a bit different from the woman who is just hanging out in a casual setting. Yet, both are the same woman. And there is nothing deceptive about being able to do that. It is partly about nuance and the ability to project the understanding and command of an important situation. And we all need every advantage we can get when things get tough. No matter how subtle those advantages may be. And as President of the US, well, the stakes can't get a whole lot higher than that. It would be tragic to see the President of the US dismissed as being in over her head just because of the image she puts forth.

So like her or not, she is being done a great disservice by her own people.

Oh, well.

I have heard that if I can stop beating my head against the wall, it will feel so good.
