The growing consensus seems to be that the former first lady’s ascendancy as first woman president of the U.S. is less assured than previously thought, thanks in large part to ... Barack Obama.
The naked truth is, Hillary has a bigger problem than Obama. Anyone who has heard her speak knows what it is, so we may as well talk about it.
That voice.
Every time Hillary opens her mouth, Americans are reminded of two things: (1) she’s not Bill, and (2) she’s as tone-deaf in the presence of human beings as she was singing "The Star-Spangled Banner" in Iowa.
In Selma, Ala., last weekend Hillary auditioned for a dual role -- not just Southerner, but Southern preacher in the style of a Martin Luther King Jr.
That dry rustling you hear is the sound of millions of people cringing.
It was clear that Hillary was trying to imitate the oratorical style of her black predecessors to the pulpit -- something no white person should ever attempt. But what she must have imagined sounded like passion was to mere mortals the screech of an angry woman.
"I DON’T FEEL NO WAYS TIRED,” she said with the robotic twang of a computer generated Southerner. "I COME TOO FARRRR FRUM WHERE I STARTED FRUM. NOBODY TOLD ME THAT THE ROAD WOULD BE EASY.”
Somewhere deep in the brains of every man listening was a little lizard shouting: Somebody hit the mute button, for God’s sake, hit the mute!
...Sen. Clinton’s voice sends mannequins into a fetal curl.
It may not be Hillary’s fault that her voice sounds like it was fashioned from metal, but it is her fault that she sounds like a car alarm when she’s handed a microphone. It is her fault that she panders -- badly -- to her audiences.

I agree. She really is the Lon Cheyney Jr. of politics. And, like Lon Cheyney Jr., she's better suited for the silent screen.
Her speaking voice is absolutely horrible. She has the voice of every man's Ex-wife.
Loathe Her, can't stand Him.
I'm looking for something that incorporates both the sound of nails on a blackboard and the rubbing of metal. There is a sound that can make you barf, that's the word I'm looking for.
I think Margret Hamilton's voice is actually pleasent compared to Hill's.
