Had she voted, she would've made it easy for us to see where she really stood. She, of course, was by her husband's bedside as he recuperated from cardiac surgery.

All the above was back before the great Banking collapse of 2008. The deregulation of the Banks started when her husband was president.

The deregulation of the S&Ls started when Ronald Reagan was president. Those lessons also were ignored by Phil Gramm and Bill Clinton, who worked together to repeal the Glass-Steagall New Deal legislation, which enabled banks to follow the deregulatory nirvana bubble long enough to move their money mountain to Switzerland and leave the US taxpayers with the bill.
