Clinton Owns Up To Emailgate (Missteps)

S'all good, right?

Not that she did anything wrong mind you.

Hillary Clinton calculus at this point must be accept some responsibility and spin it that you are big enough to learn from some of your minor mistakes. And she want to be sure you understand this was a minor transgression.

Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that she understood why people had questions about her decision to use only private email while she was secretary of state and that she took responsibility for that decision, a shift from her past remarks about an issue that has dogged her since shortly before she began her presidential campaign.

Her remarks, made during a campaign stop in Iowa, came as Mrs. Clinton has faced growing criticism for making light of her email use, which Democrats fear has become an albatross on her hopes of winning the White House. “What, like with a cloth or something?” she said to a Fox News reporter last week who had asked whether she had “wiped,” or erased, her email server before turning it over to the F.B.I. recently.

“I know people have raised questions about my email use as secretary of state, and I understand why,” Mrs. Clinton said Wednesday. “I get it. So here’s what I want the American people to know: My use of personal email was allowed by the State Department. It clearly wasn’t the best choice. I should’ve used two emails: one personal, one for work.”

IMPLIED: Now move on people!

Clinton Math

Here's what I surmise the Hillary Clinton calculus is on the growing emailgate. 

(1) Do what you want, when you want, how you want, regardless of whether there are legal or moral issues with it.

(2) Cover it up.

(3) If Step 2 is successful, move on.  If not, ensure that any investigation or other public image issues happen at least 15 months prior to the election for president.

(4) Depend on the media that you don't really care for, to carry your water and declare it a dead issue long before the election occurs. So that any question of it down the road can be portrayed as sour grapes, or political ploys.

(5) Swat down Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden et. al. 6-12 months before the election.

(6) Republicans don't matter, accept the presidency in due course.

I said calculus. Well, the whole thing seems very derivative of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. So, there.

Saturday Learning Series - Calculus so important

I enjoyed math in my school years and for the most part, excelled at it. Until I got to calculus. Probably the most powerful mathematical discipline, calculus eluded me the one high school course that covered it and my mandatory first year of university calculus. It wasn't until I had to re-take the compulsory course that it suddenly started making sense to me. After it clicked, it became fairly easy. But it doesn't always click since it is a conceptual math.

But the power is undeniable. My high school physics teacher once told the class that if we already knew calculus he could teach us the entire year's worth of physics in three weeks. I have no doubt he was right.

Calculus in 20 minutes, for those with some existing mathematical fundamentals:
