I agree with you, BG. In the BW interview, she said simply what she was supposed to say - what a candidate would say, really, and for that, she's smart.
The economy was collapsing as Clinton was leaving office. Anyone with half a mind would know nothing economic is based on the administration. The two have never been related IMHO. Dot.com *******s burned up a lot of cash, and dishonest CEOs and other execs. were coming to bare their true colors.
I think Bush's economy involves oil profits from Iraq, anyway.
Hillary's reformation of health care was a joke. Everyone in DC said, "Who the hell is this chick, coming from nowhere and telling us what "she's gonna' do," and in that, she suicided herself with her own mouth and forcefulness. Healthcare reform paid the price on that one.
Since then, I think she's learned to bite her tongue, the little hellcat.
