59. Warmth sounds like a code word Rush Limbaugh would use
Mon Nov 26, 2012, 06:22 AM
Nov 2012

and a personal taste you are throwing out there, not based on fact whatsoever

Who wouldn't get mad at Bibi, or the other world leaders? I know I would.

Real people get mad.

The reason President Obama was the one and Jackie Robinson was the one were very simliar reasons. Because both needed to stand there, smile and take the hits (the rope-a-dope) without getting mad.

But never in the past has anyone else needed that, and in fact, for a woman, it would not be a good thing to use that strategy at all.

Because of sexual bias, a woman has to be like Golda Meir(perhaps the most successful world leader who was a woman of all time).

She was suppose to be smiling and happy dealing with the country leaders at hand?

Ahem...NO.

All prior winners also were not as you describe warm.
2 term winners Nixon? Aloof.
Reagan? Yeah, very warm to those who died of Aids
Bush? Yeah, again very warm to any minority out there and the vicitms of Katrina
lincoln? Cold but thinking all the time

I do think John Edwards you might say was warm. Biggest fraud in American history was John.
Warm? He hated people. He used anyone and everything in his sight.

Warm?
It's sounds like something Rush Limbaugh would say.

Maybe Sarah palin would be warm. Real competent.

I personally think a woman to win would need to show not softness, but toughness to get that extra % needed to win.

And anyhow, you obviously don't remember when there were disasters in NYC while Hillary was senator, she one on one was extremely warm to victims.
And she won over the conservative parts of the state too.

Something her detractors said she never would.

Women though are always told one thing after another that they can't.
Yes they can. Hillary 2016 because 2016 is not 2008.

the other points I mentioned on my other answer to you a little while ago(Walmart,etc.)

and anyhow Jeb? Warmth? It will be hillary v. Jeb. Warmth won't be a part of it.

Also, Hillary is beloved by minorities, most who would warmly have backed her in 2008, if there wasn't the one in a billion President Obama. But there was.
That is the sole reason she did not win. Not because of dislike for her, she stood head and shoulders above any of the others and would have creamed McCain in the general.
Except for the once in 50 years one in a billion Barack Obama.
(which is why he is the one). But he is not running again(damn stupid republicans for changing that rule to only have 2 terms...would love to reelect President Obama 3-4-5-6-7-8 more times or more. But we can't.

Wouldn't you love to see President Obama in say 40=50 years be able to be President again to see all the good a single person was able to achieve looking back at what will be the 3rd or 4th greatest president of all time?
What a sight it will be. Hope I am still here to see it.
