There's a lot right here, but I think you've got one crucial detail wrong. The recipients of Clinton's speeches hardly constitute the "large bulk" of the people

There's a lot right here, but I think you've got one crucial detail wrong. The recipients of Clinton's speeches hardly constitute the "large bulk" of the people she deals with every day. I think the more accurate phrase would be "tiny fraction" in the context of the rest of the Obama administration, professional advisers, staff, people met at official State Department functions, etc.
