Did Hillary Clinton come across as honest and credible in her recent email press conference?

I have never seen such a blatantly guilty-looking politician. Her eyes were looking down the whole press conference, suggesting deception to me and others. The specifics of her remarks have subsequently jibed poorly with the facts.

Her demeanor suggested to me that she doesn't have the stomach for it anymore. I don't blame her and I feel badly for the bulldunky she has had to put up with her entire public life. But she doesn't have a taste for the fight, she never has and she has to love the fight to win!
I agree she does not have the stomach for engaging in the give-and-take necessary for good governance, if we are ever to get that again. Unfortunately Obama has set a new precedent: his presidential style has been "my way or the highway" from day one, like a Latin American caudillo, not like an American president. Obama has treated the Congressional delegation even of his own party with imperial arrogance and disdain. He has treated the opposition party worse than America's foreign enemies. I think Hillary approves and would like to be our first caudilla.

Oh baloney. Obama's "way" travels directly where I want the country to go so....too bad for you. Maybe you guys can field somebody for President next time who actually resonates with the majority of Americans but considering how extreme the right leans....i really really doubt it.
Obama has had low poll numbers for a huge portion of his presidency, and the American people have punished his ways with two of the most devastating Congressional defeats the Democratic Party has ever suffered. The idea that the ends justify the means of trashing our laws, customs, and Constitution is not one I would support if my side were ever to undertake it.

Congressional districts are gerrymandered to achieve exactly the results that the pervailing party wants. Its why you can't pry those people out of congress with a crow bar, once they are in they stick like glue to those seats. In Presidential politics, the pendulum swings back and forth and elections achieve more popular (as in reflecting the general populace) results He trashed your particular ideology...he did not trash any laws, customs or the Constitution. Get a grip. As a gauge .......Nixon operated a thousand times more liberaly then Obama ever did...that's the realisitc perspective on how Obama's term has transpired.
