My God, she's worse than Obama.
I didn't think that was possible.

Let me point out again, that today in her stage show with Rahm, once again she stood briefly to make a few remarks and then retired to the comfortable chairs that were provided on the stage.

I question whether she is capable of staying on her feet long enough to get through the day.  The only time I have seen her at a podium, she had a death grip on it, and most often she is giving these fireside chat style sofa talks like she's some kind of White Oprah....

Maybe she's getting ready to "buy the farm".

It could be medical, no doubt about that.

It could be deliberate. A re-branding of a fairly unlikable woman into a grandmotherly authority figure. That flies well with her base, they like and prefer authority figures.

My guess is a combination of the two.

I suspect that her demeanor during these appearances has more to do with her lack of speaking skills than her health. There are some people who just freeze when they're trying to give a speech at a podium or just standing with a mike. One way to get over the panic is to find a more comfortable setting, like sitting in a chair or on a sofa. She's never been very good at speaking, and it has to be harder now that she's been away from the challenge for awhile.
