The story isn't that Hillary Clinton is rich
h/t InstapunditAfter previously trying to justify her six-figure speaking fees by claiming she and Bill Clinton were dead broke when leaving the White House, she's come under fire for stating that she wasn't that well-off. This has led to a spate of stories about whether the Clintons' enormous wealth would weigh on her presidential ambitions in a nation with growing populist sentiment. But the deeper takeaway from her recent dustups isn't her wealth, but that she's an overrated politician. ...Because the Clintons are often viewed in tandem, a lot of people have mistakenly transposed Bill's political acumen onto Hillary. But in reality, her political career has involved winning a Senate seat in New York over a weak Republican opponent in a year that Al Gore carried the state by 25 points -- and squandering a massive lead against candidate Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic nomination battle.
