OUTRAGE!
Hillary Clinton has claimed that the situation with Michigan and Florida delegate counting in the Democratic Primary Election is like the election in Zimbabwe where votes are not counted. This is the most outrageous thing she has done yet. There is NO comparison between the two situations. I lived in Zimbabwe for 16 years and it became home for me. I suffer daily over what is happening there. Lives are being lost and a great country destroyed due to the power hunger of one man, Mugabe, and his minions. In Zimbabwe it is those who follow the rules who lose, not those who flaunt the rules.
On second thought, maybe there is a parallel. Hillary Clinton more closely resembles Robert Mugabe than Morgan Tsvangarai in her effort to attain power. Mugabe is the one who changes the rules, ignores the rules, lies, and does whatever is necessary to attain and maintain power. Just what we see Clinton doing.
Early in the election season I had high regard for Clinton and thought she would make a great president with Obama as vice president. However, her true character has been revealed in the manner she has sought the nomination. She has disqualified herself by my standards of decency, integrity and honesty.

The more desperate Clinton gets as she realizes the Democratic nomination is slipping through her fingers, the more her true colors show. The hubris, lack of integrity, duplicity, and "win at all costs" attitude of her campaign suggests that she's not fit for the presidency, regardless of whether or not one agrees with her politics.
Of course, many persons with precisely Clinton's traits have frequented the Oval Office (e.g., Exhibit A: the current occupant), but typically their administrations were not characterized by a concern for the well-being of the American people either. It's long past time for Clinton to cut-her losses and go back to the Senate.
