This has prompted questions about whether his temperament is suited to the office of commander-in-chief or whether it might handicap him in a presidential campaign against either Barack Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton, who are not known for such outbursts." HA! Apparently, this AP reporterhas not been introduced to Mrs. Clinton.

Originally Posted By planodisney Anyone who follows politics knows the list is long of former cabinet members, aides and staffers who have publically talked about her temper. However, I dont think it has much to do with why some people dont like her. I think ther is a feeling, by many, that her and Bill are obsessed with themselves, dishonest and completely non-genuine.

Let me translate that last post of yours for oncoming riders, DD: "If I post more of my completely non-substantive partisan invective, another LP'er will just come along and contradict it with facts. So I'm not going to say anything more. But whatever I've already said is true. It is. It really is. No matter what the evidence says. So there." Maybe you'd have something real to add in LP's "WDW Trip Planning" section, DouglasDubh. Or "General Entertainment." You're certainly not adding much here.

Looking on wiki, it seems that there is, in fact, a family kitchen located in the residence section. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Residence" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E xecutive_Residence</a> So, she had access to pots and pans conveniently located for her use.
