While I think it is a reflection upon the principles of a public figure such as Hillary Clinton to claim they are for the middle class and the poor, to not even show it in their behavior such as tipping in a restaurant, something dawned on me. That time Obama had a fully decorated Marine hold an umbrella for him during an address at the rose garden? I thought it was a petty issue, though it did come off as being disrespectful to our military personnel, there were bigger issues at hand. Or that time Obama put his feet up on the Resolute Desk? Once again, there were bigger issues at hand.
There are small things our political opponents do that catch our ire, but have no real bearing on what is driving the debate at that time. So, I will admit that not tipping at a restaurant isn't the worst thing Hillary Clinton has done. She has done far worse. And I am wrong, and it would be wrong to make a mountain out of a molehill. Yes, she is worth $55 million, but as Grampa Murked U pointed out to me, she still has the right to do with her money as she wants.
I realize I did something in a prior thread that I thought would have been petty otherwise. Lets stop making issues out of small gaffes and focus on the things that really matter. Like a platform, or a position. None of which I believe she has.
