I actually can not believe that I had to read this story at the Guardian Unlimited about the woman who asked Hillary Clinton the tearful question. Obviously the Brits had the sense to send a reporter out to find out who this woman was.

Obviously the U.S. media would rather sit on their fat duffs and listen to their own voices. It apparently never dawned on them to actually go do their job and find this woman. No instead the BS U.S. media would rather play the same emotional question Hillary received over and over again as they put Clinton in the ground. You know the freaking question that probable gave Hillary the win in N.H.; the question that the MSM occupied their time with instead of doing their journalistic job.

Here’s a news flash woman who asked Clinton the break down question voted for Obama. Was she a plant? Did she know the Clinton’s? How did she get the limited invitation at the coffee shop? Unfortunately the British journalist didn’t ask these questions. But had one of our overpaid U.S. journalists gotten off their fat rear ends to get the freaking story we might know the answers.

Guardian Unlimited: Suzanne Goldenberg in Manchester, New Hampshire

The woman whose question produced the tearful moment from Hillary Clinton that helped her win the New Hampshire primary ended up voting for Barack Obama.

Marianne Pernold Young, 64, a freelance photographer, was among a small group of women who were to meet Clinton at a coffee shop in the town of Portsmouth on the day before the vote.

Young, although a lifelong Democrat, was undecided at that point in the race, as were the other women. She acknowledges the power of that moment. “It showed us that she is human and manages to still perform in the way she does, and still has a person inside of her. She is a human being. She is not a robot,” Young told the Guardian.

But while she was moved by Clinton’s display of emotion, it did not influence her vote on polling day.

“I was leaning towards Obama and I voted for Obama. It’s strange but he made me cry when I went to see him,” she said. “We need new blood.”

Young said she was not persuaded that Clinton’s display of emotion was entirely sincere. “Her response to me was heartfelt for the first 10 seconds,” she said. “She put her hand on her chin and kind of looked at me like someone she had known for a long time and we were in a coffee shop just her and I,” Young said. But the moment was fleeting. “When she turned away from me, she assumed political posture again. I felt that her body language was rigid and she assumed that political language.”
