5. She painted the picture that almost never gets painted in any administration.

Most administration stories are told either by enemies detailing all the bad things that the opposition was responsible for or employees of the administration telling all the good things they've done and telling fond stories of things as they saw them. They do this because those are the way books are sold - the opposition telling the bad side and the employees of the administration writing about how great everyone was and the how good everyone felt, how they never made any mistakes.

What we have here is an earnest, honest young woman telling almost in real time the story of a horrendous period of time told by a person on the inside telling who was responsible for it. She's not whispering it to some reporter anonymously. She's telling it on national TV and we are amazed. Living history.
