Let me begin this post with mentioning that I've finally made up my mind between Barack and Hillary.
In a recent New York Times article titled "In Painful Past, Hushed Worry About Obama" the nation is worried about Obama's safety. The article cites the assasinations of MLK Jr. and RFK to justify citizens' fears.
One thing that struck me out of the ordinary was this:
"Before Mr. Obama decided to run for president, he discussed his safety with his family. His campaign employed a team of private security guards before he was placed under Secret Service protection. Since then, he has grown fond of the agents who surround him, inviting them to watch the Super Bowl at his home in Chicago and playing basketball with them on the days he awaits the results of an election."
He plays basketball with his Secret Service?!
Anyway, the article didn't elaborate on who gets more protection. Bummer.
"The Secret Service does not discuss details of its protection, including whether Mr. Obama is receiving more protection than Mrs. Clinton.
But my point with this little detail is that it is so telling. It humanizes him and paints a picture that feels like home.
For some reason, when I think of Hillary's meaningful detail, all I can think of is that stupid scene of her crying after being asked a question along the lines of "How do you do it?"
Puh-leaaaaze.
