43. Difference
She was raised in Chicago...Bill Clinton was raised in the South and he has said his grandfathers store was across the tracks, and he played with Black Children most of the time... I am much like him and still today would vote for him again. I also was raised deep in the south in the mid 30's and 40's. My grandfather was a farmer, he had many people working for him and lived on his farm, a couple of the families were black, so on the day my grandmother did her wash she would let me go to the field near the house , fortunately for me there were several women in the family, when I would go down to the cotton field, they would pet me and were so kind, one of the things I remember was in the fields, they wore golden earrings and I wanted a pair so badly, but white girls weren't allowed to wear them, I would think to my self, when I get older I will have a pair, they were as wide as a wide golden wedding band that is what they looked like, and you know what, when I did get my ears pierced the first thing I did was to go to a jewelry looking for that style earring, couldn't find them but did find a white gold pair that was attached to a little sort of pierced earring. Forgot and left then in a suit pocket sent them to the cleaners and could never replace them... So you see I fully understand the difference in Hillary and Bill, but think they are mostly in fact the same.Bill learned the gift of gab from Black Kids he played with, now isn't that what Obama draws people to him with , articulation.
