To a certain extent it is really not possible to disagree with what she says. And the choices she has made in her own life illustrate that she really lives by this maxim herself. Personally I admire her not only as a human being but for what she stands politically in an international sense.
For many in Europe she would have been an ideal candidate for the 2008 presidential elections.
However when she says they're not happy with the choices they've made, she is showing that she is not aware, or chooses to ignore for the moment, that many, if not the majority, are often having to live with the choices others have made. Not only living with but having to adapt to, make allowances for and more often than not clearing up the colleteral damage those decisions/choices have brought about.
Hilary Clinton is right never �whine�, what purpose does it serve? What does it change, improve, influence. However for many reasons she had endless choices the majority do not, never have, and at least for the foreseeable future never will have, so is the statement correct?
Yes, without doubt. But unfortunately sometimes life gets in the way, and for those without her advantages the road is very difficult indeed. Not insurmountable but definitely difficult.
