"It affected me not only because these were my staff members and volunteers, but as a mother it was just a horrible sense of just bewilderment, confusion, outrage, frustration, anger, I mean everything at the same time. But I was very grateful to have the calm and extremely professional support that I found in talking to the people here in New Hampshire," Hillary Clinton

Real presidential handling of a crisis. What would happen if she were in charge of an international situation? Would she react out of "bewilderment, confusion, outrage, frustration, anger"?

You'd probably prefer that she just read a children's book and ignore it? And then fly around the country for a half-day before deciding to play cowboy? This wasn't an episode of 24 or 9/11. It was a local situation and would always be a job for a hostage negotiater and not the President. In this case, the police did their job well. No one hurt, suspect arrested.

On 9/11 I don't recall anyone being bewildered and confused or paniced. I know you may have told the President to go to the White House or Capitol and greet flight 23, but then again thankfully you were not in charge.
