She is really clueless and still has no real experience in order to run for President.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hillary Clinton, who has a net worth upwards of $50 million, said in an interview that she is "unlike a lot of people who are truly well off."
Clinton was derided for comments made last week that her family was "dead broke" when it left the White House in 2000 although they were far from the poverty line. Bill and Hillary Clinton have reportedly made more than $100 million since leaving the White House.
But Hillary, who charges a six figure speaking fee, says with a burst of laughter that she is not "truly well off" and that her wealth is the result of "hard work," according to The Guardian:
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?
She may not be Bill Gates rich, however, I guarantee she hasn't paid for a meal, out of her own pocket for many years. Nor will she. She won't pay for a car, house, clothes, or anything else like us normal people do. It's like going to Las Vegas as a "high roller." They don't pay for anything either. Neither does she.

I agree. Enough of this. She came from a modest middle class upbringing so she can probably identify with the middle class more than someone who was born into wealth, but she has not been poor or even middle class for a long, long time. She needs to knock it off. It just makes her look foolish.
“I’ve tried really hard to care about things that were very different from my parents. I was curious if I could care about [money] on some fundamental level, and I couldn’t. That wasn’t the metric of success I wanted in my life. I’ve talked about this to my friends who are doctors and whose parents are doctors, or who are lawyers and their parents are lawyers. It’s a funny thing to realise I feel called to this work both as a daughter and also as someone who believes I have contributions to make.”
I like the idea of someone who lives in a $10 million condo and who “earned” $26,000 per minute interviewing the Geico gecko for NBC quizzing her friends about why they’d want to follow their parents into high-paying professions. I assume she means it as a compliment, i.e. that she wanted their thoughtful advice on the pros and cons of doing what your parents did for a living. But the fact that she prefaces it with the money talk and emphasizes that she spoke to children of doctors and lawyers makes it sound like she thinks they’re doing it for the money, out of greed, instead of doing something more noble like charitable work while coasting off their inheritance. I’m already looking forward to hearing her reprise that argument when she inevitably announces she’s running for Congress. She could have gone into banking, you see, but she’d rather work for you. Even if that means never being “truly well off.”
Its official. The Clinton's are all the same. Limousine liberals.
Pelosi makes HRC look like a pauper.
Even Elizabeth Warren is in the club.
