The Subtle Art Of Lying



My inspiration,Hillary, is at it again...weaving and spinning her way out of creating and destroying things at the same time. Latest incident comes out of her benign reminder about how courageous she has been into foreign lands representing America's interests. So the supposed incident involves Hillary travelling to Tuzla,Bosnia as first lady to take part in some ceremony in 1996. She claims that there was threat of sniper fire and when she landed in C17 helicopter, all took evasive action and ran for cover. That truly is a hallmark of a courageous person and truly deserves accolades. It also shows the first hand experience of diplomacy in tight situations that she brings to the table.

Now this is the interesting part:
1) Her claims cannot be true for one simple reason. Chelsea was accompanying her on that trip and she wasn't even an adult at that time. Do you think any mother would expose her daughter to such danger for a photo-op?

2) And then today, the news broke out that everything Hillary said was a complete lie. There was no threat of sniper fire and she never had to take cover. So what does Hillary do? She comes out and says that she MISSPOKE!!! Imagine narrating a complete story about a war zone...your defining moment in foreign policy..and then saying you misspoke. But thats where the mark of a true leader comes in. If you are going to be leader of the free world, you should be able to lie with a straight face with the world looking at you and condemn the other person for not being able to lie with your own dexterity.

I love you Hillary. I truly love you. You prove that bad leaders do not exist only in India & Pakistan and other politically corrupt nations. They are right here in the oldest democracy,albeit, in a sophisticated garb.
