Hillary Clinton: I am a real person

In an interview this morning on CBS's "Face the Nation", Democratic presidential candidate said that she is a "real person."

"I mean, look, I am a real person with all the pluses and minuses that go along with being that. And I've been in the public eye for so long that I think, you know, it's like the feature that you see in some magazines sometimes, 'Real people actually go shopping,' you know?

"I know you're asking, 'Do we want people who have never been elected to anything, who have no political experience, who have never made any hard choices in the public area?

"Well, voters are going to have to decide that.

"I have an economic policy that is centered on raising incomes, because I think what we inherited from the Bush administration, what President Obama had to deal with, had the potential of becoming a 'Great Depression,' not just a 'Great Recession.'

"We have now recovered 13 million jobs after losing 800,000 a month when he came into office. So why would we go back to the same policies? Call them insider, call them tilted toward the rich, call them giving corporations a free pass to do whatever they want. I'm against that, I've always been against that.

"So you know, I'm not running for Bill's third term, I'm not running for President Obama's third term, but it would be foolish of me not to say, 'You know, that worked better than what the Republicans offer'," Clinton said.
