The mainstream media has focused on Hillary Clinton's excuse for her campaign's failure to tell the public of her diagnosis of pneumonia late last week. Hillary told Anderson Cooper that she "just didn't think it would be that big a deal". In many ways, Hillary's statement is a variant of what she told a congressional committee about the nature of the Benghazi terrorist attack that killed four Americans, "What difference, at this point, does it make?" Hillary seems to have a pattern for dealing with bad news. First, she tries to cover it up so no one knows. Then when the facts come out, Hillary says she really didn't think it was important. It's a perfect combination of lies and poor judgment. In other words, it's the essence of Hillary Clinton.
Think about this. Is there anyone who thinks that a diagnosis of pneumonia is "not a big deal"? Pneumonia can be life threatening, especially for an old woman like Hillary, if it is not treated properly. It requires bed rest and a period of recovery. It requires the patient to drink large amounts of liquids. It is not something to be ignored. But Hillary tells us that she thought it was not a "big deal". Most likely that is just another lie. But let's take Hillary at her word; she really thought that pneumonia is not a big deal. Could there be anything that better shows Hillary's lack of good judgment?
Just imagine Hillary as president in these situations:
1. Hillary is told that an earthquake in the Atlantic has generated a tsunami that will hit Florida in four hours. She is asked whether to tell the people and order an evacuation. Her response: "Nah, it's not really a big deal."
2. The phone rings at the White House at 3 a.m. The secretary of defense tells Hillary that a massive armed force has crossed the border between North Korea and South Korea and is attacking both South Korean and American forces in the region. It looks like an all out invasion by the North. Hillary tells the secretary, "call me in the morning and we'll look at it. It just doesn't seem like that big a deal."
Even the idea that Hillary thinks that blaming poor judgment for the secrecy is appropriate is another example of her lack of good judgment.
