I'm not sure what race or sex has to do with anything? Barack Obama has never had to deal with average people everyday problems and issues, and neither has Hilary Clinton. And they're both wealthy, just like them old white guys.
I see you don't know much about Obama's life. I recommend the two books he's written, if you want to know about him. He grew up without a father, raised for a short while by a single mother. Single mother died, so he was raised in Kansas by his white grandparents. He went to public school, was the only black kid around, went to the grocery store, played basketball with the neighborhood kids (not tennis at the Country Club). He was brilliant, but only got better at school grades in high school, I believe, which is how he got into college, then Harvard Law School. After law school, he could've gone the route that most graduates of Harvard do, which is to get a job with a prestigious firm and make tons of money. But he went to work in Chicago as a community organizer, putting off his law plans.
Obama lived an ordinary, maybe even a heartbreaking, life for much of his life. But he kept a good attitude, worked hard, made friends easily, and was a standout at college (one of his professors said...he has notes from that time, and he made a note about the kid Barry Obama...he was a standout).
He met a woman while he was clerking and poor. They fell in love, got married, and the rest, as they say, is history in the truest sense.
Hillary's father was wealthy, but not mega wealthy. She is also brilliant and educated in her own right, getting into Yale on her own accomplishments (not a call from her father, as was the case for GW Bush). She did blue collar work after graduating college (working in a salmon plan, washing dishes, etc.). She was a
Republican in those days. She met and lived with Bill Clinton, a Democrat, for some years before they married. She became a Democrat. I have no doubt that she has done her share of grocery shopping and regular middle class tasks. And as I said, she has done blue collar work and experienced first hand what it means to work in unsanitary conditions for low wages. A little different from Romney, wouldn't you say?
