I've seen this film clip twice today, most recently on msnbc about ten minutes ago, and it speaks volumes. The scene is an air base somewhere in America, the occasion is the solemn return of US citizens who were killed in the embassy attacks. President Obama is speaking to the media from a podium, he seems more angry than sad at the moment. Behind him and to his left is Hillary, wearing a black dress, looking down and looking old.
As the President finishes his remarks he steps back from the podium and to his right, from his left comes the outstretched hand of Hillary, it looks like she wants to hold hands in a phony display of solidarity, it goes badly.
Obama reaches over and quickly shakes her hand for about half a second, lets go, and looks straight ahead.
I don't care what anyone thinks, that is a good man, surrounded by bad people.

I just find it dumbfounding that people think Romney, Paul or anyone else would make a damn bit of difference..When will people get it through their thick skulls the president is not the ultimate power..People act like he can flip a switch and make everything rainbows and roses..That's just not how the government works...People should really stop blaming the dude for everything that happens..The president is the poster child when everything is going fine and the whipping boy when things don't go well...People need to start taking a long, hard look at the Senate and Congress if they wanna rage on people in power

I've watched the end of his speech on your clip 6 times and can't detect any hand movement of Hillary or a handshake between them. :pus: I do agree with other things your said in this post.

I don't know, after Romney stated that he secretly likes "Snookie", I'm about to change my mind about him and vote for Ron Paul.
It all boils down to only Romney and Obama.
Just like with McCain and Obama.
Guess what, it's all a fiasco and Obama will win again.
Won't be much of a competition either way. Just a pony show as usual.
Neither are good candidates if you ask me and it will be a rigged election, just like with McCain. So, really what's the point voting in again.
Damned if you do, Damned if you don't.edit on 15-9-2012 by Manhater because: (no reason given)

As much as I'd like Ron Paul to be president, I really hope you dont waste your vote on him. think about it, the race is between Romney and Obama, every vote for Paul is one less vote for Romney, which will lead to obama's reelection. we live in a twisted world where politics will always be a double edged sword.

Maybe he is a good man but he isn't a good president. He is supposed to be running the #ing show! Well Mr. President I say it's time to grow a pair!
I'm sure he's pissed because if he doesn't do something about this then he's going to be in the unemployment line with his fellow Americans.
The man has nobody to blame but himself. He's had 3+ years and all he's managed to do is make our allies angry and our enemies confident!
It's time for a change...............next...........oh hello Mr. Romney.

Yeah, I'm still voting for Romney only because of that. Not that I want too.edit on 16-9-2012 by Manhater because: (no reason given)
