Did you even read Rambler's entire post before responding, including this part?
Is this seriously what you consider a justification of what Clinton said?
Oh, the irony.
"Agreed, though the funny part is even with a worth of $50 million, she actually IS poor compared to the insanely moneyed interests that typically buy presidential elections. The Koch Brothers are worth $40 billion each, George Soros is worth at least $26 billion." -Rambler
He prefaces his soft criticism of Hillary making an insane point, but justifying her comment through comparing her to being poor in the face of the evil Koch boogeyman.
There is no honest or intelligent way to say well "a net worth of 50 million is poor if you look at it this way....."

And Soros. Funny how you left that out. Wonder why.

Yes, there is an intelligent way to say that, and it's through qualification. Did you miss that "poor" was used in comparison to the billionaire rich. He wasn't using "poor" as in the poverty line.
Poor Ann had to eat Tuna Fish. The horrors that these poor political families must endure.
Who cares? When did it become a crime to be wealthy? I would rather them accept it and talk about what they learned rather than apologize for it and be dishonest in an attempt to appeal to fragile egos - that from a non wealthy person without a grudge.
I am by no means a Hillary basher, but that lady can be tone deaf. The Democratic nomination is hers to lose but if she continues with this "poor little old me" routine, she will be beat by some upstart. Sound familiar?
What else does she have?
She is a failed Secretary of State who, were it not for DC insider favors trumping the well being of the nation, would never been appointed to that office.
Of course she has to play the victim.
It's not like she can accept responsibility for her actions.
I would guess not, given the numbers of kids her husband probably has that he doesn't know about due to his inability to keep his legs closed outside his marriage.
Bill? He had a case of measles at age 13 that left him sterile.

It's not a crime but when wealthy politicians and politicians wives try to act like they aren't wealthy and pretend that they relate to the average citizen, it is comical, ridiculous, patronizing and insulting.
The lap dog media is not giving her the passes they gave Obama.
