By now we all have heard the clip from Clinton that she “mis-spoke” about coming under sniper fire on her trip to Bosnia back when she was first lady. Mis-spoke?? What the hell is mis-spoke? It’s called a lie!!!! Have we come to the point in our politically correct society that we cant call a politican a liar?
My God, we’re in trouble if we continue down this path…

I tend to see things as black and white, and given that upon landing in Bosnia Hillary Clinton a) Walked off the plane, b) Did not duck her head, and c) Greeted people cordially, I am forced to conclude that she is either delusional or has very poor judgment concerning the likelihood of getting away with telling outrageous lies.
I do not accept that she was simply “mistaken” in her account.
Do I want to have a president that is delusional or prone to telling outrageous and embarrassing lies?
So, was she lying or was she delusional? The answer is, she was lying. Liars lack the character to do the right thing. If she had merely been delusional, she would be seeking treatment (now that she recognizes she was “mistaken”), and she would recognize she is not mentally ready to be President of the United States since she has trouble differentiating between reality and fiction.
Honestly, she should not be running for office after this incident. Unfortunately, since she was lying, she has shown she lacks character, and therefore she will not “do the right thing” and withdraw her candidacy.
