We don't need nor want government empathy. What we need is for government to get back in its Constitutional cage, stay there, and stick to what we've delegated it via the Constitution...and leave us alone to live our lives.
Empathy is a good thing. How liberals deal with it is another.
She’s talking PERSONAL empathy. Folks are sick of “Government” empathy.
I can see where you can read it like that, but one could also argue that we need a leader who has empathy for getting people back to work by empowering the private sector (i.e. tax cuts and repeal regulations). I think of Reagan as a person with empathy, but he believe in the freedom of the people and the free market. As he said, government is not the solution, it is the problem.
For crying out loud, she is obviously referring to Obama’s exhibit of indifference to the catastrophe around him, the golf, the stupid jokes, the expensive parties, the endless vacations...
