We’ve heard before that Ms. Clinton has a anger management problem. When the boss is unhinged it tends to roll downhill and affect everyone, even your most ardent supporter.
“A former “die-hard” backer of Hillary Rodham Clinton says he switched his allegiance to Barack Obama after spending three weeks volunteering for the former first lady’s Iowa office, and witnessing abusive higher-ups and crying campaigners.
James Henson, 26, who works in Oklahoma politics, said he’s now supporting Obama because of the “pretty bad treatment” he received from the Clinton camp’s Des Moines office.
“I’ve always been torn between Hillary and Obama, but Obama was always my second choice,” he said. “My experience changed that. It completely turned me off to Hillary’s campaign.”
Henson said he decided to join Clinton’s camp as a volunteer in mid-July. He admitted that he had applied for a job with the same campaign in April but was turned down.
He felt unwelcome from Day 1. “It was like I was a nuisance or something.”
Henson said volunteers were in tears, “probably from the abuse they were taking” from higher-ups.
One day, his back went out. He was told he could lie on the floor and make calls. But shortly, a worker screamed at him to get up.
“She didn’t ask why I was on the floor or what I was doing,” he said. “I don’t think she cared.”
Oooh….testy!
