Hillary double standard

5. Did they ever complain about how they weren't as rich as we think they were/are?

No? then not the same.

Look, I get that Bill and Hillary worked hard to get where they are. They were also blessed with brains and talent - and not everyone is no matter how hard they work. The issue here is that during these economic hard times, Hillary was lamenting about how she wasn't as rich as other rich people because at one point they were underwater (with a really bright future and nearly guaranteed income through speaking engagements I might add...as well as a presidential pension). She said it to try to appeal to people who are struggling, but instead it made her look out of touch. A much better way of doing it would be to own her wealth and admit that some of it is due to luck, and that she wants everyone to have a fair chance like she did. Not hard to come across as genuine if one actually is genuine. I don't remember a time when Ted Kennedy wasn't out there fighting for the 'little guy'...that's something Hillary is going to have to do to overcome the image her wealth has created.
