I resent the pro-Hillary media printing fluffy feel-good stories to convince the voting public that Hillary in some way cares about the bullying and intimidation this little girl has endured when she has shown a callous disregard for the many lives lost due to her bad decisions in terms of foreign policy. For me, the whole Libya and Gaddafi incident was the straw that broke the camel's back as far as Hillary's concerned.

Gloating about the death of a foreign leader as if it something to celebrate and laugh about is behavior unbecoming of a publicly elected official, let alone someone whom CNN and others are trying to pass off as especially compassionate. As a Black man, I took personal offense to her gloating over Gaddafi's death (and her State Department's large role in his demise) because Libya was once one the most prosperous and stable on the African continent, with relatively decent living standards, freedom for women, and other trappings you'd see from a place that is one the up and up. Gaddafi's death and the destruction of that country was totally unnecessary and for me, it was another instance of Western meddling setting the continent back when at least this country was making progress.

When the stories were all in the media of people drowning in the Mediterranean Sea trying to escape the chaos that is now Libya, all I could think of was Hillary laughing about the death of the leader who kept a lid on all hell breaking loose there. It incensed me a great deal, so if you sense some acid in my words, there is a reason behind it.

It has everything to do with Hillary and the fact that she is anything but the warm-hearted person this CNN is trying to make her out to be. I hope you understand now.
