Satirical letter was unfair to Clinton

I don't know whether Marty Colgan's letter in the Fence Post (Feb. 15) about the little boy questioning Hillary Clinton was meant to be factual or satirical, it's difficult to tell, but that letter has been around on the Internet for awhile, except that the little boy's names are different.

I was suspicious of the letter from the first time I encountered it because anyone knowledgeable about Hillary would have known that she is far too intelligent to have been unable to answer the little boy's questions that he asked in that story.

As to what happened to her health plan, she could have easily pointed out that the insurance industry torpedoed it. As to her husband's shameful behavior, that was his behavior and not hers and so it should not preclude her from doing anything she wants with her life. And finally, the old lie that she took stuff, implied to be not hers, from the White House has been disproved ad infinitum.

Even though I am an Obama supporter I have the highest regard for Hillary.
