And the fact is, President Bush has practiced what John McCain has preached," she notes. “To McCain and the Republicans, America can't win unless most Americans lose,” Clinton writes, citing job outsourcing, the mortgage and financial crises, and “broken” health care. “Wherever I travel, I hear people asking, ‘Who are you for?’ But the more important question is, ‘Who is for you?’” (More Hillary Clinton stories.)
