I saw a part of Hillary's MLK speech just now on FOX. She pretended to be "choked up" a bit when recalling the day she heard King was shot. She said she was a Jr. in college, came into her dorm room, and threw her books across the room. I just can't believe that today, 40 years since his death, that Hillary wants people to believe that she still gets emotional about it, if she ever really did. (Wouldn't we love to hear from her college roommate?)

Anyway, in comparison, I can vividly recall the day my mother died. We were very, very close and she had a great effect on everything I did or thought. As any daughter would be I was terribly upset, and I cried for days, even months. Almost every day I still think of her, but it has been 15 years, not 40 years, and I don't get choked up when I talk about her anymore. She was my mother, more important to me than anyone...not some iconic hero of the '60's, and yet Hillary wants people to believe she can shed a tear about MLK today. Certainly I was much closer to my Mom, than Hillary was to MLK and yet Hillary can stand in front of people and act like this event was personal and happened TO HER personally just yesterday.

I just cannot stand her attempts to try and make people think she has or had feelings of such depth about this. I doubt she ever shed a tear for him or anyone else, unless she had an audience she was trying to impress. She is so obviously a phony and acting to make others believe that the memory of King's untimely and tragic death can bring her to tears. No wonder she is enamored with the Hollywood crowd - her life, emotions, reactions are all scripted and unrealistic. P.S. Do we all recall how she and Bill snoozed during the funeral of Ronald Regan? No emotions there, were there?

If their heads are bowed in prayer, then the people behind them must not have gotten the word that the prayer was still "on".

Exactly. It’s all a bunch of B.S. for the camera. The only remarkable, even astonishing thing about it is the number of people that apparently can’t see through the charade and take it at face value. It is just so darn obvious.

Hell, how about when BILL Clinton fell asleep just a couple months ago during an MLK sermon??? Anyone remember THAT video?

The media didn't play it, did they? Nope. You can damn well be sure if BUSH had fallen asleep during a civil rights sermon, it would be plastered all over the place.
