Clinton Shows Zero Emotion as Mother Tearfully Recounts Her Son’s Suicide

In N.H., Hillary Clinton is lacking in the art of contact (Boston Globe)

LACONIA, N.H. — The sauna-hot room was silent as a woman told a halting and tearful story about her son’s struggle with a serious mental disorder.

“Because we couldn’t get good mental health care for him,” she said, wiping a tear, “he finally took his life.”

Some in the audience of 300 packed into a Boys & Girls Club in this lakeside town appeared moved by the story. But not, at least that one could tell, the woman who organized the forum, which was intended to focus on the scourge of drug addiction in New Hampshire.

Hillary Clinton physically backed up closer to a wall as she listened and nodded. When the woman finished her story, the leading Democratic presidential contender retrieved a microphone, turned away, and began asking another panelist to respond.
