Hillary. I. AM. IN. AWE. [View all]

Words fail, but I'll give it a shot.
(You KNEW I would )

Her appearance and testimony before two congressional committees was a grueling day for her and SHE WAS BRILLIANT!

She absolutely pwned her attackers and detractors.
Never lost her cool and totally controlled both hearings.

If she so chooses, I would wholeheartedly support her for the Democratic nomination for president in 2016.

She'll be 66 this October 26.
That would make her 69 during the '15 campaign.
We've had many older white men as president.
I think she could handle it.

She is my new hero.
GIve 'em HELL, HILL!
