Hillary is absolutely correct about Americans who have been shafted by the policies of the GOP, Bill Clinton, and Hillary's votes on the war and the bankruptcy bill. I don't know who Obama is talking to, but these people are smiling and happy. They're pleased that they've been given the opportunity to be thrown aside to help freedom, democracy, modern economics, corporate CEOs, and the government of Colombia.
Funny, but I've witnessed the same in poor countries around the world. Some people see suffering millions who have no idea how they will manage to put the next meal on the table - but no, that's just not right. I know when I look at the world's working class - and I think Hillary and McCain would agree - I see smiling happy people. I see starving people who are bloody well happy to get a three-day old crust of dried bread out of the waste bin, thank you very much. They're simple people, really, but perky as the dirt-poor clams they are. Oh, to be blue collar (or no-collared) and carefree. Heck, I know many a friend (and spouse) of Hillary and McCain would trade in their million dollar salaries and $200,000 speaking fees to live without the worry of where to spend their awfully inconvenient trust funds. Ahh, being poor, with no job (or just as bad, two jobs), no health insurance, an exploding mortgage, gas prices of $4 a gallon, two wars with no end, a massive budget deficit to hand down to the kids, and an overall bleak future - now THAT is the life. Just ask Hillary. Hillary connects with these happy people because she's had a hard life too, what with the sniper fire and all. And her chauffeur, her gardener and her cook are all simple people and she does talk with them, sometimes. And after all, she can shoot a gun just like John Kerry, or perhaps Mitt Romney. All regular people too, just like Hillary.
