Hillary Pt. 2

I thought Hillary hit a grand slam tonite - as I said earlier, she saved the entire convention with her speech. But, watching it a second time, I can't help but note this selection:
I will always remember the single mom who had adopted two kids with autism, didn’t have health insurance and discovered she had cancer. But she greeted me with her bald head painted with my name on it and asked me to fight for health care.

Umm....really? I don't have health insruance; I can't get a band-aid from this government. Yet...some woman without health insurance can spring PAST a band-aid and, if I have this straight, ADOPT 2 kids with autism...even though she has cancer? Really?

If I wanna go see the fucking Jonas Brothers, I gotta show two forms of id, donate blood and prove my NYC residence; meanwhile, I guess if I wanna adopt a coupla autistic kids I only have to show that I have been born on Planet Earth? Really?

Guessing that was another Hilary whopper (like dodging bullets with Sinbad). Also, getting tired of how "single mom" is misused. Now, I don't know if it was in this case, but a single mom is not a divorced mom. A single mom, in my book, is someone who a)was never married and has kids and/or divorced and the father gives NO support. Katie Couric is not a single mom. My mother was not a single mom.
