    Hillary Clinton's father was the descendant of coal miners who became a small business entrepreneur. Her mother was an office worker who supported herself before she became a homemaker.

    The year Hillary Rodham graduated from college, instead of all expense paid travel abroad, she went to work. She worked her way across Alaska, washing dishes in Mount McKinley National Park and sliming salmon in a fish processing cannery in Valdez (which fired her and shut down overnight when she complained about unhealthy conditions).

    In the summer of 1970, she aoplied for and was awarded a grant to work at Marian Wright Edelman's Washington Research Project, where she was assigned to Senator Walter Mondale's Subcommittee on Migratory Labor, researching migrant workers' problems in housing, sanitation, health and education.

    In law school, instead of lobbying to become editor of the Law Review, Clinton went to work. During her second year, she worked at the Yale Child Study Center, learning about new research on early childhood brain development and working as a research assistant on the seminal work, Beyond the Best Interests of the Child (1973). She also took on cases of child abuse at Yale-New Haven Hospital, and volunteered at New Haven Legal Services to provide free advice for the poor.

    Who would you rather have as president? A super smart guy, so smart he didn't have to study and spent his time fooling around in gyms and strange men's rooms doing cocaine (that's from his book) and then backpacking around the middle east, who now thinks he should be POTUS, or someone who has been working for the working people and children of this country for her whole life?
