At the 1996 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, most of the delegates (including me) gave her a standing ovation before her Address by the First Lady. She milked it for 24 minutes. No kidding. 24 minutes?!? She could have stepped up to the podium and asked politely that they allow her to speak so that they could enjoy her speech even more so. But, nooo. She wondered the stage waving and gushing. After about five minutes, I thought it was excessive. After 10 minutes, I was convinced it was all faked and manufactured. I and most other delegates sat down and stopped applauding. She and her troops keep it rolling for another 14 minutes.
Ego. Simply, ego.
And, from what we have learned from her temperament in more recent years ("what difference, at this point, does [the questionable murder of embassy workers] make?!?"), I am disgusted by her ongoing behavior. Besides, isn't it bad enough that every U.S. president is a cousin to the rest (and me, )? Do we actually, really need dynasties in America? Whether it is the Adamses, the Roosevelts, the Kennedys, the Bushes or the Clintons, none of them have ever done better than their familial predecessors (who weren't fantastic in hindsight, anyway).
