The night after Super Tuesday, news reports came out indicating that the Hilary Clinton campaign is hurting financially. She donated $5 million of her own money to the cause and her staff is offering to work a month without pay. Undoubtedly supporters everywhere gave another thought to whether they could or should donate or donate more. The story comes out like a cry for help.

And then Thursday, something closer to the truth comes out. The political experience Hilary Clinton loves to boast about has apparently taught her a lot about how to spin and how to do things in just the right way to get what she wants or needs. I read this article and I was immediately angry. My first thought was of all the people who gave because she was asking for help and it turns out she doesn’t really need it.

Is this what we can continue to expect from her? She’s smart enough and experienced enough to not have let this happen on accident. You have to wonder what else is going on in her campaign and think about how it reflects on her character. Do we really need another president who will lie to achieve his or her own personal goals?

While this one event could really mean nothing, it is a reminder that throughout this election, the most important in at least a half century, we need to carefully examine who we choose to lead the country into era.




On another note… I was almost done writing about a different article when I read about Hilary’s lack of financial woes and got upset. Clarity Sought on Electronics Searches is still definitely an article to read. Our Fourth Amendment rights are disappearing and in this case we’re not even allowed to know why.
