Lately you have received favorable comments from the mass media, Hillary, and it would be advisable to analyze how you achieved it.  No less than Joe Klein, the sage of Time and Newsweek, has you pegged as a very tough lady.

You have used the "naïve" label to describe how one of your 2008 Democratic presidential opponents, Barack Obama, failed to exercise some of that tough leadership that you indicate would be part of your operational pattern if you secure your party's nomination and are elected president.

Actually Hillary, I learned long ago through the regular pattern of life and the knocks one takes in the process of living that the only sensible barometer in ceding authority to someone for any purpose lies in understanding that individual.  

If an individual fails to withstand a basic integrity test predicated on past experience then the only response to that individual's request for support to a basic "trust me" question is a resounding "No"!
