I expect this sort of behavior from any well-adjusted social chameleon. Children who lie well tend to do well later in life. Lying and role-playing is socially advantageous behavior. We should all strive to be social chameleon master manipulators, behaving in ways to influence others' behaviors in a way that benefits us. Wear suits and ties. Think "Scott Peterson"*. I think of Obama as somewhat of a "black Scott Peterson". Hillary Clinton is somewhat of a "woman Scott Peterson". Scott Peterson is us.

Not sure if you were being sarcastic or not, but either way I laughed. Hillary is for sure my chameleon mastermind role model.

She just seems like the type that would have abused her slaves in the 1850s- especially brutal to all the black maids Bill would have been screwing at the time.

Ugh I'd rather not. Wake me up when Hillary or any other politicians stand trial for corruption and cronyism.
