Don't Cry for Me, Obama!

Don’t Cry for Me, Obama!

Manchester, NH. Special.

Lessons Learned

By Carlos Rover

No question about it: Hilary’s weepiness convinced New Hampshire – or at least enough of New Hampshire – that she was a feeling person. Good for her! She’s no fucking idiot! The time for stoicism was when confronted with Monica out of the closet. Then she was tough and loyal, now she is the “nurturant parent”, to borrow a phrase from cognitive psychology.

But watch out, Obama! Do not hire the composer of Katz to do a pop opera for you! Remember Ed Muskie and the three Muskie-tears! They sent him down East and out of contention for the topspot of the world!

So, important to remember: Americans want women who can weep – maybe even for the presidency – but not teary-eyed men! Slim, yes! Sensitive, well, sort of! Inspiring and charismatic, Absolutely!! But please, Obama, no tears if you want the big job. Yes to change said New Hampshire, but no spare change.
