The Clinton Faith

Clinton is interviewed

Hillary Clinton was interviewed this Monday along with the other presidential candidates. The Clinton name is well known to the public and the infidelity that her husband is infamous. Thus, when the candidates discussed their relations with The Creator it was only natural for this issue to be raised. Clinton said that what she used to overcome the trials related to her husband's infidelity was faith. She stressed that the many trials she has gone through were all coped with thanks to faith and prayer.

A little cynicism

Faith is a mighty force, there is no doubt. Being a man of faith is perhaps one of the most important qualities of a president. Of course, these interviews and their like are all carefully prepared for an thus everything said should be taken with a grain of salt. Even so, it seems obvious that Hillary is not to blame for her husband's behaviour and her support of him is only to be expected of a faithful wife. There really seems no point in raising this domestic issue in interviews of candidacy to presidency. It is natural to feel pity for the lady who has undergone such trials but the elections really should be based on something more substantial then powers of coping in a domestic crisis. Of course, the people of the United States would like to know something about their new leader's beliefs but it would seem that very little can really be derived from such interviews that are so well prepared for.
