It’s customary on election night for the loser to, at least perfunctorily, congratulate the winner.
Unless your name is Hillary Clinton:
EL PASO, Texas (CNN) – For the second election night in a row, Hillary Clinton failed to acknowledge or congratulate Barack Obama after he won the day in dominating fashion.
On Tuesday in El Paso, hours after Virginia had been called for Obama, she stuck to her “Texas campaign kickoff” message and did not stray from an energetic, Lone Star-themed stump speech. She did mention Obama by name, only to chide his health care plan.
On Saturday night in Richmond, Virginia, Clinton spoke to a crowd of thousands at the state’s annual Jefferson-Jackson dinner, but she ignored Obama’s quartet of blowout primary and caucus wins that day as well (Obama also won the Maine caucuses the next day).
The courtesy of conceding a primary or caucus loss — and then congratulating your opponent — is by no means required. But it has become standard practice during campaign season.
Apparently, neither rules nor manners apply when you’re a Clinton.
Hillary is an embarrasment. I was a staunch Hillary supporter. Her cheap attacks on Obama before the SC primary turned me off completely. Money cannot buy class and finesse Ms. Clinton. Presidency of USA is not your inherent right. You have to earn the respect of the masses.
Hillary did not even thank the volunteers in the states she lost let alone be gracious enough to congratulate Obama on his success. She is one selfish woman who cares only about herself.
I never supported Hillary, because she is NOT Bill. She is arrogant, and she clearly underestimated Obama. She believed on name alone she was the presumptive nominee. However, for the last 28 years there has been BUSH CLINTON BUSH, and I do not want this anymore. Go home Hillary, let the new generation move our country in a better direction. I am ready!
Hillary and here campaign is petty and they look for anything to bring Obama down. She has a lot of nerve, I have family members who lost their lives and use of their limbs for the same war she supported. Screw you Mrs. Clinton, your are a liar, a Washington insider bought and paid for. All she cares about is Making History, she is self absorbed and phony. when the going gets tough she goes and manufactures tears…oh cry me a river.

A visibly angry Hillary Clinton attacks Obama for campaign mailers she says are false information about her health-care plan and NAFTA.
She jabbed the alleged mailers into the air as Ohio governor nodded his head in agreement.
WOULD YOU VOTE FOR A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE THAT SO EASILY LOOSES HER COOL?
Thank a higher power that she doesn’t have the keys to the nuclear stockpile.
Hillary isw showing her mean streak- a loser trait!
shea a poor loser
