The Presidential race is important. I totally understand that Hillary Clinton<\/a> wants to be President<\/a> and that she has people working with her on the campaign to make that happen, but I want to step back a minute and look at some recent events.<\/p>\n

The video that went viral on Facebook<\/a> on Sunday showed a woman who collapsed and had to be lifted into her van. She obviously had a serous medial event.

A number of years ago, when Patrick Kennedy<\/a> had a driving episode in Washington, D.C.<\/a>, due to drugs or alcohol, he went into a rehabilitation program for a short period of time.

Bob Beckel<\/a>, who has been very open about his own battles with alcohol abuse<\/a>, commented that he felt Kennedy’s handlers did him a disservice by not having him spend a year in a rehabilitation program. As far as I know, Patrick Kennedy has gotten his life together and is leading a fight against legalized marijuana<\/a>, but the fact remains that his handlers put politics above his health and welfare. I feel strongly that Hillary’s handlers (and possibly Hillary) are making the same mistake. Campaigning (and the job of President) is strenuous. If she is recovering from pneumonia, she needs time to heal–she doesn’t need the wear and tear of a political campaign. I feel that Hillary (and her handlers) have lost their sense of priorities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
