well, the past and her past experiences that can be a strength, but i think as mark notes, it can also be a weakness if there s an appetite within the american public for more of their stuff. there will be more of this stuff. remember back to 2008 campaign, andrea, hillary clinton thought her experience, her resume, the depth of her life in public life would be a huge asset. president obama announced seven years ago today, he turned it into a real detriment to her, saying to her experience, didn t help her make the right judgments. the question is is there a candidate out there who can make a similar argument in 2016? we haven t seen one on the democratic side at least. let s talk about something on the republican side as well. to both of you, that jonathan martin s reporting on senator pat roberts from kansas and the fact that he hasn t lived in kansas. he shares a room in a home of donors on a golf course. his wife is a very successful real estate person working in alexandria, virg
we have an hbo film coming out in march, called the life and times of katrina gilbert that puts a face to these issues. all week long on nbc, we ll be putting face to these issues. and you can see, that s me. people who are struggling and in economic peril today are not people that are over there. it s everybody you know. it s the person in the cubicle next to you. it s the person working in the place you go to get lunch. there s a very fine line between the us and the them. in fact, it s a blurred line. our hope was to add these personal essays to give a face, to give heart to this issue, and to give an impetus to people to care. there s, of course, a great example of this, in fairly recent american history, and that is the success of the breast cancer campaigns. people coming out, telling their own stories. we had all the statistics about how breast cancer was impacting women, but when you look at where we are in terms of public awareness of breast cancer of both government and pri
