Obama's policies are better precisely because they are vague.
When you look at HRC's concrete plans they are plainly ridiculous and would be disastrous if implemeneted.
By next year the landscape will look a lot different anyway, for better or worse, and any current specific plans will have been rendered irrelevant by new circumstances and a new crisis of the day.
Seemingly slight adjustments to overall policies that benefit poor people over the long haul will almost always be more plausible and effective than sudden jolting interventions by the Govermnment like rewriting millions of contracts worth billions of dollars overnight (rate freeze plan).
