11. Hands on? Surely you jest?
If she's so hands on, what happened to her with that juggernaut campaign of hers that just jumped the tracks? Her campaign doesn't speak well of her management skills.

As for Hillary being the voice of the working class, I don't get that. I think she is only aware of the working class when she wants our votes. BTW, the "working class" is much more extensive since NAFTA was implemented. I recall the selling point of NAFTA was that all the menuial work would be done overseas and the American worker would be retrained to do these wonderful tech and white collar jobs left here. The dotcom industry was an example of the new "working class" job, and the education required to get those jobs required post-high school training. In other words, some college. So when I hear the terms "educated" and "elite" bandied around and applied to Obama supporters, I think of the promises of NAFTA. The "working class" created by a bad policy that sold major industries in this nation out. I don't see Hillary as being willing to scrap NAFTA or any of the other AFTAs and start again with a major labor initiative beyond cosmetic fixes to something that is considered part of her husband's legacy.

I want people to have health insurance too...myself included. I want someone who has good sense, can manage accountably, and work well with others and without secrecy to get us there.
