You can't go by what should be until it is. Until then you have to go by what is while trying to change it to what should be.

If I unravelled that correctly, then I agree.
It certainly appears that she was targeted, which was likely the photo op intention to begin with. To handle her like that just looks bad. Overall, I think this sort of stuff has a chilling effect that I dislike, outside of the rights/legal aspects.
It leaves me with the impression of cowardice, to be honest. Invite her in, let her say her piece, answer her questions, demonstrtate that you aren't afraid of challenge, etc. Make it work for you, in answering why she is wrong to equate you with Bush.
Maybe I expect too much from my Presidential candidates........
