Hillary Clinton's mental health and aspiring to be commander in chief
First let me say that I think that Hillary means well, but it seems that she doesn't have the ability to discern between fact and fiction.
Her statements about Bosnia and then with the healthcare issue, where essentially just a "rumor" becomes reality to her, is troubling.
To be succinct, look at what a loose cannon that George Bush proved to be, I mean look at the costs of this war in Iraq, and the "feith based inititiative" that was launched to start it, there was no need for pre-war intelligence, reasoned debate, or even facts.
The same can be said of Hillary. Like George Bush Jr. she seems to just believe what she wants. Sure she can laugh that off on Jay Leno, sure she can say that she was sleep derived, but factually she is in her own private Idaho and seems to be getting further and further from the reality that the rest of us share.
If she cannot handle the rigors of the candidacy race, she seems mentally incapable of handling the position of commader in chief.
Her repeated excuses and laughing off these episodes of behavior really have gone to far. I mean honestly, would you choose a physician who just subscribed to their own reality? Would you want an attorney who invented facts?
I think that Hillary means well, but is not ready for the task of POTUS.
I think that she has probably been put in a position as a consequence of her husband, and has managed in the Senate, but makes a poor choice for commander in chief.
This time, this election, the person in charge matters. Hillary cannot just pretend that her mental health is not an issue.
I think she means well, but is not up to the task.

You are under the delusion that electing a President requires deep thought and analysis. You have completely missed the entertainment aspects of the election.
Cable news ratings have spiked with interest in the election. A prolonged Democratic race means a prolonged rating benefit. The public must be kept amused
The result. Obama's 37 bowling score is played in repeated clips on multiple News sows for comedic effect. To be fair and balanced, the comedic routines of Clinton and McCain have to also be show
McCain was extremely funny as the confused old man who couldn't tell Shiites from Sunnis. Hillary was roll on the floor hilarious as the hallucinating First Lady who remembered sniper fire. Jay Leno laughed.
Poor bowling skills, inability to differentiate different Muslim factions, and non-existent gunfire Great comedy Why aren't you laughing?
Yeah, I know, neither am I.

It's called Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I'm wondering why others haven't looked at Hillary's revisionist histories this way. it is a characteristic trait for those who suffer from this disorder; they see reality they way they think it should have been for their own purposes; and they are not "lying" because that is actually the way they see it and remember it.

It's called Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Incredibly interesting. And you are correct. Evidently you have experience in some wide sampling of this field. I had an opportunity as one of my first white collar jobs to be a counselor at an inpatient center for troubled youth, as part of that position it was our job to familiarize ourselves with the PI-charts and records when on 12-8. Only when you have allot of time, to study approximately 50 charts, each 30 to 45 days, for an extended period of time, and then evaluate progress of the patients on other shifts, do you make these correlations of the medical term and the behaviors.
I'm not sure if it is a condition of elite deviatism, or a learned behavior, conditioning if you will, capable personality flaw in all, or a personality order that Hillary hides well, but most leaders or those who seek power exhibit multiple mental health flaws.
I honestly feel that if either Obama or McCain becomes POTUS then America wins. I hope they both take public elction financing and restore a sense of our government not being sold to the highest bidder as we as a nation experience a Kondatrieff winter economic cycle exasperated by plateau oil production.
I'll pull my dog out of the fight when Hillary drops from the race or loses.
But honestly I do have a discomfort with Hillary and your summation is correct.
