Apr 2015

The hatred of our next POTUS, is due to the rampant abuse she receives in the media. Especially Fox News. Example, I was reading a story online where they said that her story on her grandparents immigrating to the US was a complete lie and she was in some hot water over her "fib". I mean really? Is there nothing else they have to report on? They take every word she says and every inaction or action and use it as cannon fodder. I have met both of the Clintons, Hillary is a great woman. She actually cares about the every day, common person. Things that she does and says gets blown way out of proportion. The email "scandal", wouldn't be a "scandal" if it was not Hillary Clinton. Jeb Bush did the same, but nothing gets harped on about it. People need to do their own research and come to their own conclusions. Do not blindly follow or listen to what ANY media outlet is spitting. When the dust clears, people will see that she is a wonderful, caring, and driven individual who will make an excellent president.
