Hillary Clinton's Terrible Answer to the 'Greatest Weakness' Question Hasn't Changed Since 2008

Failed candidate Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton "greatest weakness," she said in a recent interview with the online newsletter The Skimm, is that there are too many stupid people who don't understand why Hillary Clinton should be president: Screen Shot 2015-07-30 at 10.52.16 AM

It was basically identical as the answer she gave to the same question during a Democratic primary debate in January 2008:

I get impatient. I get, you know, really frustrated when people don't seem to understand that we can do so much more to help each other, and sometimes I come across that way. I admit that. I get very concerned about, you know, pushing further and faster than perhaps people are ready to go.

She tries too hard, pushes to far, and too fast, for you simpletons to handle. You know, like how she was an early supporter (since April 2015) of a Constitutional right to gay marriage, for example.

Hillary's answer to the "greatest strength" question was also very similar in 2008, just slightly updated with new buzz words and talking points—for example, by replacing "children" with "women." Here's what she said in the recent interview:

Here's what she said in 2008:

Well, I am passionately committed to this country and what it stands for. I'm a product of the changes that have already occurred, and I want to be an instrument for making those changes alive and real in the lives of Americans, particularly children. That's what I've done for 35 years. It is really my life's work. It is something that comes out of my own experience, both in my family and in my church; that, you know, I've been blessed. And I think to whom much is given, much is expected.

Hillary Clinton has a history of recycling old talking points.
