Has she ever talked about her reasoning behind wanting to repeal the law that prohibits victims from suing gun manufacturers? I think that's ridiculous and senseless. I don't agree with it at all.

1. We don't want or need the "most transparent person ever" as president of the biggest office in the western world. If we did, wouldn't base our election process on who tells the biggest and best lies on television. We deliberately hire the candidate who obfuscates and hides their actions, and the actions of this country, better than anyone.
2. The power of the person is measured by the strength and determination of his or her enemies. Given the length and depth of the anti Clinton political attack machine that stretches back several decades now, I'd say that makes Hillary Wonder Woman. What better person to have in charge than one who can't be wounded by political hijinx.
3. Unlike her opponents, there is nothing left to expose on Hillary. We've seen her ugliest already. Over and over. If there was more to find we would know it, or will soon. Therefore, by virtue of the exceedingly thorough vetting at the hands of her foes, Hillary IS the most transparent person we can possibly find for the job.
4. I've said this before and it bears repeating. Anyone who is bent because "she lies" is infantile. Of course she lies. She is a politician and diplomat to foreign powers. It's pretty much the job description. Hell, the Pope lies. George Washington lied like crazy. We don't want a person who can not lie for THAT job, we want the one who lies better than anyone else.
5. We also want the person in the office who WANTS it more than anything else in the world and will do well at it. And there is nobody on this planet who wants it more than her.

America broke away from that type of government years ago.Fully in agreement but appreciative of the irony that most of the ridiculous levels of power currently enjoyed by the President were signed into law by fellas named Bush. We have currently a president who wields, all at once, more power and less power than any other comparable world leader. And considering what we allow him legally to do under such fun things as the Patriot act, and considering that we have a congress who explicitly stated their goal was to stop anything from getting done (in what bizarre world job is THAT ok?), we have a sitting president who has shown remarkable reflection and restraint. Extraordinary restraint in fact.

Go Hillary! I want to see you looking & sounding Presidential.
She'll be prepared & articulate. I'm really looking forward to this!
