Part of the problem is that I'm not going to have a way to know if this was just a gaffe or if she really doesn't know much about FNM. If she was able to take questions from us, the American public, the people who she could one day lead, then perhaps I'd get a better picture of her knowledge of basic economic policy.

And perhaps I see why.
