   No, you don't need to say more. This is what it is, reality. And what's 
wrong for each interest group to ask for money or whatever they want to ask ?
Are you saying if we Americans ask for a better future, it's wrong ? 
 
   Clinton's job is to handle all these properly.  And media and the public's
job is to watch and make sure he handles everything properly. 
 
   So far, what you observed indicats nothing about Clinton's job performance.
