Oddity

The Resume

    (circa 1943- )
    Born in Austria
    Resided in Portsmouth, New Hampshire
    Freelance photographer
    Received a personal and emotional response from Hillary Rodham Clinton after asking her a question during the New Hampshire Democratic Party primary election (January 7, 2007)

Why she might be annoying:

    Regarding the pressures of political campaigning, she asked Senator Clinton 'How do you do it? How do you keep so upbeat and wonderful?'
    She also asked Clinton who her hairdresser was.
    She stated that she was stunned by Clinton's honest and emotional response to what were by Young's own admission personal questions.
    She was seen hugging John Edwards after one of his speeches during the primary, and she stated that she cried during one of Barak Obama's speeches she attended as she also did after Clinton's response to her questions.
    Her questions were accused of being 'planted' to give Clinton a chance to behave in a manner that would produce sympathy and votes.
    She stated that she was indecisive about which primary candidate would get her vote.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She immigrated to the U.S.A. from Austria at age ten.
    Before asking her questions, she told Clinton that she identified with her as an ambitious woman.
    She suggested that Clinton's show of emotion after the questions was natural and beneficial.
    She denied accusations of her and her questions to Clinton being 'planted'.
    She had a successful photography career which included working with Ansel Adams and the chronicle of Jimmy Carter's presidential campaign.
    She was a breast cancer survivor and helped to raise breast cancer awareness.
