What was Hillary thinking by stressing she came under sniper fire in Bosnia? Do we really want our First Ladies coming into the cross hairs, never mind the First Daughter? If it was true it wouldn’t matter. John Kerry came under fire in Vietnam and look where that got him? He was in fact braver than George Bush and he was made weaker through the “swiftboaters”. The line here is what was Bill Clinton’s motive in sending his wife into what was believed to be harm’s way? The whole story that Hillary concocted is filled with land mines. She is portraying herself as a person sent into a combat zone because it was too dangerous for her husband. To compound matters, today she decided to speak out about Obama’s pastor in order to change the subject. Democrats need to learn how to wage war. If Hillary’s intent is to show how tough she is, it will not measure up to John McCain. The guy broke both his arms and his leg and then was captured and tortured. Even if Hillary’s imaginary war story were true, it would serve as a breeze to McCain’s hurricane in regards to bravery. This election is not how tough one is, it is how smart one is. The Democratic candidate must be able to show that they are smart because Americans want change and most see Bush as not bright. The winner must also be able to show that they empathize with America’s pain in the coming economic woes. Making up “war stories” is not a good place to start.

The real issue is Hillary Clinton must realize she can’t win. You see headline after headline that states the dire situation the Clinton campaign is in. Does she care more about the party or more about her personal glory. Truth be told, the longer this goes on the more she will hurt her image, and the chances for a Democratic victory in November at the same time. If Obama had lost 11 primaries in a row he would be back in Illinois. It is time for her to grasp reality. But as the sniper story shows, that has become hard for Mrs. Clinton.
