What evidence do you have the by experience Clinton means her relationship to money rather than the ability to work with officials within Govt.to craft legislation?

Just because Clinton has a longer relationship to the moneyed class is not evidence that it is a fundamentally different relationship. Unless you can demonstrate by providing examples that Obama has a differing relationship to money, that he sees money and the moneyed class in substantially different ways from Clinton or other politicians, it is nothing but an article of faith in the "goodness" of Obama. I have no faith in the "goodness" of anyone who seeks the Oval Office. Short of something other than what has been posted to date Carrol is correct. It is revealed truth and as such is of no real merit.
