"On today’s Morning Joe on MSNBC, the panel was discussing Mitt Romney’s perceived problem regarding connecting with middle-class voters, were he to run for president next year.
But Joe Scarborough turned the discussion around to focus on the Democrats’ top contender:
“Her friends are at Davos, her friends are at Goldman Sachs. I mean, Hillary Clinton, when she said we’re not really that rich — do you know why she said that? Because everybody she hangs out with are billionaires.”
But just prior to that statement, Scarborough dropped a literary reference:
“Hillary Clinton has just as many billionaire friends, and has led over the past 25 years the most elite, the most insular, the most Gatsby-like existence of any person in the political world today.”
"Scarborough’s point is pretty clear: that Clinton’s recent lifestyle – punctuated by lucrative speaking fees - will present just as many challenges to her candidacy as it would for Romney when it comes to identifying with “the bottom 99%” of U.S. voters.
When Hillary Clinton was drawing a salary as the U.S. Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013, her taxpayer-funded income would have placed her in the top 10% of Americans. Clinton also hit the speaker circuit after leaving her federal post, and earned a jaw-dropping $12 million in the next 16 months.
If that figure were prorated as an annual income of $9 million, it would put Clinton squarely in the top .1% income-bracket category – and not very far from the top .01% richest people in the nation.
It certainly didn’t help that Clinton uttered her famous “dead broke” line in an interview last year. If she officially tosses her hat in to the presidential ring, you can bet that those comments will get as much attention as Romney’s ill-fated “47%” quips did in 2012.

Ms Clinton is not a shoo in even for the nomination
