No, I don't hold it against her. If we go back to the beginning of this thread of conversation, someone was saying that Obama grew up privileged and that Hillary was not privileged. Now the opposite is the real truth and that makes Obama more in touch with the common man than Hillary. Hillary has always had a silver spoon in her mouth. She has worked hard and has had some excellent accomplishments in her life, no doubt. But she simply can't understand the common man like Obama. Obama lived it. He knows in his bones the sweat and blood we invest in our work, not because of some lofty ideal, but because if we don't then we could find ourselves homeless and destitute. Now, I'm a long way from that, but it took me 25 years of hard work to get here and I never had a safety net. People with money don't understand what it's like to live without a safety net. It can be downright scary and unbelievably stressful. Heart palpitating stressful.
