Clinton’$ Ca$h Woe$

How many $5M checks do they want to write? They better figure that out, because Obama has raised $5 million online since the close of polls yesterday.

Didn’t Bill just make $ 20 million on his dealing with Ron Burkle? I thought ABC actually posted all candidates net worth and the Clinton were worth 41 million. I think that was before the 20 million that Bill received recently. Then Bill helped a Canadian connect up with a Mid-East person. The Canadian got the deal and Bills foundation and library received $ 130 million total. Why isn’t Hillary compassionate enough to pay her own workers? She obbiously has the money. Why aren’t the laws followed? There is a minimum wage, overtime etc that should be followed, right??? We need to have a Justice Dept investigation and government hearings. She could cry during the hearing and Americans would certainly vote for her (unless she cackled again and that would turn some people against her). More than there already is.

Politico reports her worth is @ $60 Million. I feel sorry for the people of Kazakhstan to see their hard earned money being personally loaned by Hillary to her own campaign.
I’m quite sure she didn’t make $60 Mil in her 35 years of fighting for change in the private and public sector. What a joke.

Her having a good Super Tuesday is a sign of strength. She stayed ahead of Obama – a tough rival!

Need to call some friends to send some money to her campaign. She deserves the support from us, the real people.

Some people have claimed that Oprah is the source of Obama’s fundraising success. This isn’t true at all. While it is true that Oprah has a large female following, polls show that women still tend to follow HRC. How then does Oprah’s support help Obama’s fundraising? It doesn’t really, Obama has been successful raising funds because of donations from folks like me. I’m a white male (currently registered Republican) from the South and not an Oprah fan. However after following all the candidates, I fell in love with Obama as a politician. So have millions of other Americans and we, not Oprah, are the reason for his successful fundraising campaign. Regarding HRC’s campaign loan, she had not choice but to disclose it and try to put a positive spin on it. Candidates are required to disclose their financial contributions. HRC’s campaign is smart enough to realize that if they didn’t disclose the bail out first, then Obama’s camp certainly would and they would definitely make it look like a sign of weakness in the HRC campaign. With the news of HRC’s donation, it seems as though Obama’s campaign continues to move forward with a message of Hope, while HRC’s campaign is showing signs of Despair.

As long as Hillary loses it’s OK by me.

since polls closed on feb 5th, obama has received over $6.2 million in donations alone. thats insane.

as far as the international community is concerned – you guys have a win win – so long as the republicans dont get in.
you should do away with this crapola, and put hilary as president and obama as vice – that way you have the best of all situations – and keep the idiots that want to blow you up in check as they will definately crap themselves with Hillary in the white house!!!
about time for this change too – america is supposed to be the home of the free!

Another question is , how did obama get the money to buy a $2.4 million house?
to be sure, that’s not public service either. And, neither he nor his wife were born into money.

I looked online and Hillary has more working cash than Obama (it even shows her 5M loan to her campaign). It’s another ploy – like the crying stuff before every primary now – it worked once so why not do it every time. She is an embarrassment to women – I do NOT want her representing me as a woman.
By the way, Very Independent – Obama was matching Hillary’s big corporate fundraising well before Oprah endorsed him and she hasn’t given a penny to his campaign. Don’t you read the news at all – Obama’s money comes from hundred’s of thousands of individuals giving 10, 50, whatever they can – his campaign is financed by everyday PEOPLE.

Concerning Fundraising and the Clintons:
Hillary Clinton, A Chinese Fund-Raiser, And Straw-Man Donors Inexplicably Linked
A poor family is making big donations to Hillary Clinton… and their donations just happen to track with the donations of a wealthy Chinese businessman.
One of the biggest sources of political donations to Hillary Rodham Clinton is a tiny, lime-green bungalow that lies under the flight path from San Francisco International Airport.
Six members of the Paw family, each listing the house at 41 Shelbourne Ave. as their residence, have donated a combined $45,000 to the Democratic senator from New York since 2005, for her presidential campaign, her Senate re-election last year and her political action committee. In all, the six Paws have donated a total of $200,000 to Democratic candidates since 2005, election records show.
That total ranks the house with residences in Greenwich, Conn., and Manhattan’s Upper East Side among the top addresses to donate to the Democratic presidential front-runner over the past two years, according to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal of donations listed with the Federal Election Commission.
It isn’t obvious how the Paw family is able to afford such political largess. Records show they own a gift shop and live in a 1,280-square-foot house that they recently refinanced for $270,000. William Paw, the 64-year-old head of the household, is a mail carrier with the U.S. Postal Service who earns about $49,000 a year, according to a union representative. Alice Paw, also 64, is a homemaker. The couple’s grown children have jobs ranging from account manager at a software company to “attendance liaison” at a local public high school. One is listed on campaign records as an executive at a mutual fund.
The Paws’ political donations closely track donations made by Norman Hsu, a wealthy New York businessman in the apparel industry who once listed the Paw home as his address, according to public records. Mr. Hsu is one of the top fund-raisers for Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign. He has hosted or co-hosted some of her most prominent money-raising events.
People who answered the phone and the door at the Paws’ residence declined requests for comment last week. In an email last night, one of the Paws’ sons, Winkle, said he had sometimes been asked by Mr. Hsu to make contributions, and sometimes he himself had asked family members to donate. But he added: “I have been fortunate in my investments and all of my contributions have been my money.”
He’s got $45,000 laying around and decides to continue living at home with mom and dad instead of getting his own apartment?

It is a sign of weakeness no doubt. I think time is running against Clintons campaign. It is a victory for BARACK OBAMA.YES, WE CAN. YES, WE CAN generatte huge amount of money for this gentleman to win the nomination and then proceed to General Election and finally beat the Republican and become the president of the United States. May God bless America.

i hope Hillary hangs in there. I believe it will be worth it in the end.. god bless her, and her staff.Greg

No matter which candidate you support, this story points out THE biggest problem behind the never-ending campaigning: money. Each and every candidate has to continuously engage in fund-raising to remain competitive. Some are more successful than others; all have run into rough spots. Intrinsic to our immensely fallible political system is the candidates’ constant hunger and need for cash, so much so that the Presidency may as well have a price tag on it. I can foresee Drew Carey someday saying “Now up for bids on the ‘Price Is Right,’ the office of the President of the United States. May I have your opening bids?”

I’m pretty sure the Clinton campaign released this information about the personal loan, so that her supporters will participate in her latest $3M online campaign. They are such cynical spinmasters.

Those of you that see me know I do not support any lib usually, but if it came down to Obama or Hilary I would go for Hilary, mainly because she has more knowledge not necessarily experience of the Presidency. If it is McCain v hilary, I am contemplating voting for Hilary.
As far as Obama, he is made up from the press, how many other 1/3 term senator do you know of?? Scary if he wins, that means that people do not think for themselves!

This is totally poor planning. She underestimated the power of Obama. She thought, (as she did when she voted for Iraq war) that everything will be over on Super Tuesday.
People, cannt you see this woman is lacking the sense of judgement!

perhaps Hillary can auction of some of the furniture she and Bill took from the White House when they left to help pay back her loan to her campaign.

Perhaps Bush can bring back from the dead our soldiers who died so he and his vice president could make some cash on oil.
Ever?
Nah.

Well you got that wrong. Her staff OFFERED to go without pay but they are being paid.

Ok…all you fools who got taken with this money contest of Hillary’s…do you know she sells/rents out lists of her campaign contributors? What a deal…more money into the campaign couffers and more names to sell to the junk mail brokers.
I would keep an eye out for ID theft if I were you…but them I’m not. I contributed to Obama’s campaign.
