It is one reason that her 2008 announcement video, featuring her perched casually on a beige upholstered couch, a folksy, feminine would-be leader of the free world, was mocked; "Saturday Night Live" was still lampooning it during the most recent season, with her impersonator, Kate McKinnon, deliberately contrasting her forced, smiling accessibility with the killer instinct she appeared to be laboring to hide (a contractor walks by, there to repair seven newly punched holes in the wall).
