I have never accepted what many people have kindly said — namely that I inspired the nation. Their will was resolute and remorseless, and as it proved, unconquerable. It fell to me to express it.

If you haven't already been besieged by all the media covering Sen. Hillary Clinton's recent "show of emotions" at a speech in New Hampshire, here's an article for you to read...

Is the Pressure Getting to Hillary?

The thing that has me boggled is that Sen. Clinton shed some tears when discussing the country and many of the political analysts are calling it a sign of weakness but is it because she's a woman? If a male candidate did the same thing, he would be regarded as patriotic but if a woman shows emotions, it's seen as a sign of weakness.

What do you think ?

I think they re just crocodile tears because he knows she's losing the race to Obama and she is trying to show herself as sympathetic. I do agree that taking a woman crying as a sign of weakness is ridiculous in this modern era.

While I am no fan of Hillary Clinton's and am not voting for her (or Obama for that matter. I'm voting for Ron Paul.) I personally believe it's very possible her tears were real. There's an awful lot of pressure going on out there with this campaign.

I rarely view tears as a sign of weakness ... but rather as strength. If someone can feel strong enough about themselves to display vulnerability and real emotions, then I say all the more power to them.

Granted, she comes across 99% of the time as some hard ass ... and again, I'm not a fan of hers ... but call me an optimistic idealist, but I think they were for real ...

I doubt her sincerity in this matter. She has proven to be very calculating and to me, this is just another one of her calculations. I'm not against having a woman as President, per se, but I wouldn't want Hilllary Clinton.

I would agree with Dolphin tears are not a sign of weakness more a sign of being human, depending on each individual circumstance of course. I still to this day raise a tear when i recall a 3 yo girl crawling down a hospital ward towards me , with her entire face burnt, her fingers burnt off, her nose gone yet this kid was the most beautiful kid i have ever seen, not to mention courageous...
