Hillary Clinton talking Policy Part 1

Hillary Clinton on Bill O Reilly talking Policy Part 2

Its really great, listen

ETA: What I dislike about the videos though is the reportage. Simply put, Bill O Reilly needs to ask his question shut up and let her make her point. and then ask his next question. This idea that one needs to steamroller people by interrupting them and talking over them needs to stop. Now. Because what it is doing is focusing the attention on himself, and not what voters are interested in, what the hell does she stand for and what will she do in office. But still, a surprisingly substantative interview. More of these please, across the board.
