It turns out Hillary Clinton is not running for President. She's actually positioning herself to transition to a career as a Country & Gospel performer.
Senator Clinton addressed an audience in Selma, Alabama, commemorating the 42nd anniversary of the march for voting rights. The junior senator from New York, and professed lifelong Yankess fan, affected a thick southern accent as she recited the words of a spiritual and a more subtle accent as she made other comments.
Here's a report. Hillary isn't mentioned until about the 9th paragraph.
Here's some actual audio.
This image is also inspired by another incident where Hillary was seen (and most regrettably, heard), singing the National Anthem. Click here if you dare.
