Does Hillary Have Multiple Personality Disorder?

Feb 23, 2008.

Two nights ago at the CNN debate, Hillary Clinton ended the evening by saying that 'she was honored to be here with Barack Obama with this campaign'. Yet today Hillary was quoted as saying 'Shame on you Barack Obama.' And comparing his campaign to a Karl Rove campaign.

Now I doubt the Obama campaign has changed any from last week to this week. They are doing well so there is no need to change anything, much less go aggressive or make up lies. And their message has been consistent day in and day out. They are the front runners so their position is not to take risks.

On the other hand, Hillary is struggling to figure out what will help her connect with voters. She has tried the crying thing. But it is shocking that she can go from the crying thing (one extreme) to the crazy irate New Yorker in just 48 hours. Not only is that manipulative, it is unbecoming of a president. This is a sad characterization of 'I will do anything, say anything, to get myself elected president'.

In a very small way, I find pity for Hillary Clinton since she sees the world in such selfish perspectives, almost of a whining spoiled brat. Almost kind of like George Bush.

Many Americans feel that the Clintons exude a sense of entitlement, again not too different than the Bushes. And from the way that Hillary is acting with her campaign, it reflects the notion that the end justifies the means.

Just as Bush shouldn't be in the White House, Hillary should also ask why she should be in the White House. This should not be a matter of entitlement but respect that is earned.
