Are we to assume that politicians are open and spontaneous people? The smart ones let the smart people they hire devise ways to make them look spontaneous and relaxed. And from what I hear, all of Hillary's open discussions are filled with planted people or planted questions. So, this is normal.

But, I wonder why we are questioning whether or not she had a planted question rather than asking ourselves, why does she, or any other politician, feel they need to have planted questions?

A true leader would say what they thought or felt; not what their staffers figured would be an easy home run. And if the people did not vote for him/her, he would discontinue his bid for the presidency. Since 1976, we have been stuck voting for people who make decisions based on polls. That just ain't leadership. People made a big fuss about the last two elections. Some wanted to see Kerry and Gore defeat Bush. No one realizes that we aren't getting anything different; rich guys who want to make their buddies pockets fatter with OUR hard earned money.

Do we have a leader occupying the Oval Office now? No. Will we have a leader after a Democrat wins the presidency in 2008? No.

So, why the concern over a planted question? Instead, we need to plant a leader in office who has the juevos to answer any and all questions.
