【分析解答题】原  文：Although the American economy has transformed itself over the years，  certain issues have persisted since the early days of the republic. One is the continuing debate over the proper role for government in what is basically a marketplace economy. An economy based on free enterprise is generally characterized by private ownership and initiative， with a relative absence of government involvement. However， government intervention has been found necessary from time to time to ensure that economic opportunities are fair and accessible to the people， to prevent flagrant abuses， to dampen inflation and to stimulate growth. 
Ever since colonial times， the government has been involved，  to some extent， in economic decision-making. The federal government， for example， has made huge investments in infrastructure， and it has provided social welfare programs that the private sector was unable or unwilling to provide. In a myriad of ways and over many decades， the government has supported and promoted the development of agriculture.

【单选题】Flying across the country the other day, I sat next to a retiredAir Force colonel, and we had a pleasant conversation about love of flying, travel and grandchildren and for him, of retirement itself. "Yeah," he said, "there’s only one thing that would make me give this up. "
"What’s that "
"If Hillary or Jan Fonda runs for president, I’m going to work full time to beat her. "
I told him I knew Hillary. She doesn’t even need a last name now.And she’s no Jane Fond
A、
"Well," I concluded before we began talking about planes and kids again, "I think you are going to get your chance. I think she’s going to run. "
I once wrote, with total sincerity, that I thought Hillary RodhamClinton had the political instincts of a stone. I also wrote that I thought she had marginalized her husband’s chances of being an important president.
He blew that by naming his wife to head the task force to work out a national plan, and she decided to work in secret with battalions of "experts" who came up with a plan four times as long as theEuropean constitution.
Then, after taking her lumps for that, she decided to run, as aDemocrat, for the US Senate from New York, a state she had always thought was a nice place to visit.
She is now far and away theDemocratic front-runner for president in 2008. Her national numbers are getting better, inch by inch, day by day. Now, a slight majority—52 percent in a couple of polls—say they are likely or very likely to vote for Hillary for president. True, 47 percent, including my friend the colonel, still say "Never. "But her national approval-disapproval rate is now about 55 to 39, compared with 46 to 48 for PresidentBush.
The odds are still against her. So are most of the odds-makers, beginning with Joe Klein of Time Magazine, chronicler of theClintons in fact and fiction. He believes a Hillary candidacy will polarize the country the way the reign of theClintons polarized us in the 1990s.
According to the passage, the author’s attitude toward Hillary candidacy is ______.
A、neutral
B．ironical
C．approving
D．disapproving
