article_snippet.sent: Hillary Clinton is a very rich person.
article_snippet.sent: While Hillary Clinton's certainly not the first rich person to run for president, Hillary Clinton wealth -- and the related perception of being out of touch with ordinary Americans -- is an obstacle in Hillary Clinton candidacy.
article_snippet.sent: The difference between the current standard presidential salary of $400,000 a year and the 77 cents-on-the-dollar version of that salary, or $308,000, is probably a drop in the bucket in Hillary Clinton's bank account at this point.
article_snippet.sent: Clinton did an arguably brilliant thing in Clinton campaign launch, framing Clinton video and presidential bid as not about Clinton but the American people.
article_snippet.sent: In fact, Clinton didn't even appear in the video until the very end -- it was all about middle-class Americans, working hard, trying to get by and get ahead.
article_snippet.sent: Clinton can't change who Clinton is, the baggage attached to Clinton by both the right and the left, rightly or wrongly.
article_snippet.sent: But Clinton can change what Clinton does going forward, how Clinton shows up and signifies Clinton as a voice not for the status quo and the establishment -- but for ordinary Americans who need change.
article_snippet.sent: If Clinton wins, Clinton presidency will indeed be symbolic and historic.
article_snippet.sent: And it will be significant if Clinton does something to change the lives of the 158 million women in America.
