July 7, 2015 Before Hillary Clinton spoke to a crowd of roughly 250 supporters in the Iowa City Public Library on Tuesday, a campaign staffer had a few requests for the attendees. First, the young female staffer asked those in attendance to pull out their smart phones and "like" Clinton's local Facebook page for Iowa and Johnson County. Then, she rattled off a phone number for the supporters to text in exchange for "updates" (aka donation pleas) from the campaign, which announced that it added 20 field organizers to its already large Iowa staff Tuesday.
But the actual content of Clinton's speech was refreshingly free of campaign artifice. Yes, she began with her routine spiel about income inequality, health care, and her excitement at becoming a grandmother, but her remarks felt more off-the-cuff than usual. Perhaps in an attempt to embrace her inner nerd, Clinton recalled spending hours in her local library during summer vacations growing up.
One anecdote from her career as Secretary of State in particular stood out as something new not only to the attendees, but to the reporters who obsessively cover the Clinton campaign as well. She told a story about the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. Clinton and President Obama were trying to negotiate terms with India and China—two of the fastest developing countries in the world—for a climate change agreement.
The problem: China and India's leaders were nowhere to be found. Clinton said she and Obama "sent out scouts," who found that the Chinese and Indian leaders were meeting in a clandestine conference room. Clinton and Obama marched to the room, she said, and pushed past Chinese security guards to confront the heads of state.

On the truck to the glue factory is more like it.
Was she chewin’ on a piece of hay and talkin’ with a drawl?....................
She forgot to mention the machine gun fire.
Nothing sticks to Teflon...................
Must be really exciting to listen to the effluent from all those focus groups.
There is no inner nerd there, Emma Roller. There's a liar, a cheat and a deviant all fighting amongst themselves.
Can’t have a rodeo without bull$hit.
“Clinton and Obama marched to the room, she said, and pushed past Chinese security guards to confront the heads of state....”
Is she just using her “diving into Baghdad avoiding flak” story with the names changed?
Rode hard and put away wet.
Last rodeo, and she is the clown
Fixed it.
She herds some press people and now she’s an old cowhand.
“Get along there, Katie! Head ‘em out, Georgie!”
250 ppl? she can’t even sell out a rodeo.
Don’t worry, this is just ‘her softer, more human side’. Her anecdotes showed that she’s a real human being.
As Michael Walsh (at PJ Media) called her “Fading Dowager Empress of Chappaqua”, she might still have the last laughs ....... HRC: “I take a backseat to no one when you look at my record of standing up and fighting for progressive values,” and that’s all the Left care about, doesn’t matter whether it comes from which socialist/communist.
That's because she just made it up.
Since the media never fact checks anything that Hillary says, she knows she can make up any story that she wants.
Did you know that Hillary personally shot Osama bin Laden?
No, just an old cow...an old, pear-shaped, lesbian cow.
Hillary seems to have mastered the rodeo sport of press roping. She can lasso and hog tie reporters in record time.
“China and India’s leaders were nowhere to be found. Clinton said she and Obama “sent out scouts,” who found that the leaders were meeting in a clandestine conference room. Clinton and Obama marched to the room, she said, and pushed past Chinese security guards to confront the heads of state.”
Wow.
Weak.
Staggeringly, abjectly weak.
Oh, sure, she thought she was tough by hunting them down and pushing past the men with guns and demanding attention.
What a weak mentality.
If strong, those leaders would have been seeking _her_ out. And _he_ wouldn’t have even been sought until a deal had been hammered out, barely benefiting them.
