Clinton on Her $109M: ‘I Have Nothing Against Rich People’

I can only imagine this is what all the other “recipients” of this tax break said.
With remarks like this, Hillary makes even unsavory characters like George Bush look “not so bad”.

It must be so hard on the rotten media that there wasn’t anything in the TAX RETURNS to jump the Clintons about. For gods sake don’t show your ignorance by making remarks about their income. Check back, duh, being an ex-president is very luctrative.John Kennedy was filthy rich. In my book that just proves Hillary isn’t in it for the money. Unlike Obama who is funneling money into his campaign in everyway known to man.

That was then Barb this is now and we have a lair who is trying to become president>>>Not a word out of her mouth is the truth.Kennedy cared this ass don’t all she wants is POWER…Big difference here>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I laugh at all the Hillary haters who come out when these stories are aired. I doubt that any one of you would not have made as much or more if you and your husband had occupied the White House for 8 years. Every president who leaves office makes millions, but why is it that the Clintons income is the only one that has ever been plastered all over the media, all over the world? The Clintons did more for this country than 2 Bushes and Ronald Reagan combined. They balanced the budget so our grandchildren don’t pay for our mistakes, something that NO Republican President has been able to do for the past 30 years.

If you look at the picture you will see her laughting all the way to the bank.Sickennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Why don’t people talk about Obama’s $2 million mansion in Chicago that he got through the help of Tony Resko, who is on trial for corruption in Chicago. Obama is only 47 years old (the Clinton’s are in their 60′s) and Obama is already a multi-millionaire. Obama’s wife makes more money than Hillary Clinton does as a Senator. Quit trashing Hillary and start being fair with the public about Obama’s egregious lies, and his association with corruption in Chicago.

Clinton’s $109 million gross income Obama $40 million dollars in campaign contirubtions just last month alone….WOW!!! Wonder what his will look like at the end of this year

Hasn’t the campaign contributions been in the MILLIONS since January….. WOW his campaign contributions have surpased the Clinton’s total income in less than 3 months WOW!!!!!

You Hillary haters and Clinton haters out there ..
You all behave like a bunch of losers
You all need to sit down and do some introspection … What is it in your OWN lives that you are not happy about ..
Usually, the reason for such blind hate, is a disappointment with onself.

Clinton took money from Dubai for the port management scandal. Arab oil is funding the Clinton’s campaign.

There 8 year income is chicken feed compared to Obama’s campaign contributions. This man is so stupid to have even ask for them to be shown. No let me tell you stupid ask them to be shown and then BOOST ABOUT RECEIVING MILLIONS in campaign funds. He should have let this dead horse die. Now people are going to start looking at his finances…..see stupid!!!!

SeattleGuy said ‘Clinton took money from Dubai for the port management scandal. Arab oil is funding the Clinton’s campaign.’
Sweet, does that mean George Bush and his oil buddies are financing Hillary. Because they have been screwing us for 8 years?

Well if Arab oil is funding it they sure aren’t paying good……Now she ought to tap into Obama’s secrets….find out who it is that gives up the big money

Interesting to note that Clinton gave the same amount of money to charity that she made from her books. Obama on the other hand kept most of the money he made from his books and wht little he donated to charity went to his church that doesnt donate back to the community. In fact, they provide for their ministers to live rich and without paying taxes.
I dont judge Barack based on things his wife has done and said. I dont judge Hillary based on the things Bill has done and said. McCain’s wife is worth 100 mill and I dont judge him based on his wife’s fortune either.
Obama and Clinton both filed for extensions on 2007 taxes so the argument on that is a moot point. Bottom line? Clinton made money from her books and gave it to charity to help other people. She truly does practice what he preaches – It Takes A Village. Obama and McCain are all talk.

I was watching the newscast earlier today and a reporter was trying to make a big deal out of it. The other said no I don’t think it will be that important. Yeah they don’t want anyone to look at the Obama campaign funds…So after seeing this I know ears has to feel stupid…..that’s what he gets trying to beat a dead horse…stupid!!! I just can’t get over how stupid this was

Democrata: Andrea Mitchell is married to Alan Greenspan, and she hates Hillary and loves to run Hillary bashing stories. Andrea Mitchell likes to sit and giggle while Chris Matthews gets tingles running up his leg over Obama. By the way, come time for the GE, Andrea will be bashing Obama if he is the nominee because she is all for the Republicans. Note to media advertisers: women are tired of the blatant sexism, Hillary bashing and nasty and negative comments about the Clintons in general and we are not watching CNN or MSNBC anymore, so don’t waste your advertising dollars on those networks trying to reach us. Unless of course you are not interested in reaching women consumers.

Obama has helped ordinary people by working with them on the streets of Chicago, by representing them in both the Illinois State Senate and the US Senate. By leading them through a dramatic and popular primary campaign.
Hillary has done what exactly? Failed to lead a national movement for universal health care, leaving many of them without health care, and crippling her husbands Presidency? Without wanting to demean anything Hillary has done, the Clinton campaign, at least its online presence seems to think it can just say ‘What has Obama done?’ as a cover for her lack of real achievement.

I am an ardent Obama supporter. But this bashing Hillary over how much money she’s made, is flat out ridiculous. Because she is rich doesn’t mean she can’t care about the poor. Can we please focus on the issues? Is that too much to ask of Democrats? Why are we not talking about this Mark Penn Columbian meeting instead of how much money the Clintons have?
Pam, who cares who Aljazera supports? So you are telling us Americans to base our decision on who terrorists support? That’s really flawed logic.

Cleduc you can’t tell me about Rev Wright have known about him for years. Have had several of his sermons on tape since the 80′s. Obama is a bare face lie if he tries to tell you that Wright wasn’t political on the pulpit from day one. I know several pastors PERSONALLY who flew to Chicago regularly to hear Wright preach. Several of them use Wright’s same jargon in their preaching today. Sweetie I’m black so you have to try that with somebody like you that may not know. The black community has known forever about Wright. I’m just not afraid to tell you.

And Obama thought he was the one that could make it big giving speeches! This just proves how sought after the Clinton’s are in the public speaking arena. And where, NOW, is Obama’s senate records? PRODUCE THEM OBAMA. We do not believe “they are lost”.

markymark I’ll say it again I am black…the Clinton’s in the 1990′s gave over $250,000.00 of their OWN money to the black community. So, maybe you need to research more indepth next time.

I remember when Clinton was President, that he was called the black President. No President has done more for the black people than the Clinton’s. Now all the black people have turned against them. I believe I should stick with the people that have helped me. Maybe I just have different values. Seems like the more people help you the more you expect. You will not get it if Obama is elected. He will try, but congress will not back him and he can’t do anything by himself. I think your are just having dreams that will never come to pass. Congress will listen to a white person trying to help blacks more than a black person. You will be the ones that will want him out of office (if he makes it which I doubt) and probably call for him to be impeached. Some call Richardson a traitor but I say the people that the Clinton’s have helped and vote for Obama are traitors also.

What a stupid statement to make, “she has nothing against rich people”. If that isn’t a snub at the rest of us. you people better smarten up and not vote for this hack. Obama may not be perfect, but he’s better then her of 4 more years of the same old same old.

It’s a “laugh at the Poor”, same day release of private riches and national poverty. Do you remember what queen Mary Antoinette said to her people? “If you don’t have bread to eat, then eat cakes”.
As is,it seems as if the Clintons are aiming for Anarchy in this country. First Bill, then Hillary, afterward Chelsea, and let us not forget, maybe the future grandchildren… Can money blinds us and buy our soul? What a shame. Let us save DEMOCRACY!
I am a female, white, middle class and Jewish. Oh, yes, and I will vote for Obama 08. Yes I Will!
Since we the American citizens were bombarded with these issues to deal with: 1. The $109 millions tax return, 2. Povery Czar, 3. “Hillary’s shamefull,fonny,”Compassionate Tearful Show” in Memphis Tennesse on the death day of MLK(who she thinks she is fooling? You all saw how fake she looked when reading from a transcript, and at the same time forcing out her “poor me” artistic tears).
And, since she voted for this Iraq war that eventually made the poverty level worst than before, I suggest: Hillary and Bill Clinton, should be the champions of the Poverty czar idea and become themselves the “Poverty Czars”. They can use their $109 millions “earned” to solve and heal some problems they were too busy to solve when visiting more than 80 country representing the richness of the United State of America.
Now it’s their turn to humble themselves and stay in the United State of America and represent the Poor by leading Community Service to end poverty. This is what we call true patriotism. If they know how to “earn” $109 million, they must know how to help the less fortunate as well. After all, the hand that “Takes” knows the hand who “Gave”. With that much knowlege at hand, we can be assured poverty will end sooner than we think is possible. Save Democracy for this countries sake, there is too much at stake! Vote for Obama 08

Obama sees the big picture (is a strategic thinker), is inspirational to many, is not “bought and sold” by special interests,++++++++++++++++++++++now that is a joke,,,,, most of his money comes from big oil companies CEO’s as bundlers, and how on earth could he be inspirational, he hears nothing , see nothing and knows nothing, that is the big picture

At least we wouldn’t have to worry about her making any shady real estate deals.

And of the money that the Clintons have earned since 2001 they donated about 10% of it to charity. This is way more than most people and in line with even the most generous of charitable donors.

Has anyone even bothered to talk about how much they have given back? Does anyone stop to think what differences the 10m contribution to charity make in other peoples’ lives?

Poor people resent rich people , always have always will, yet we want to put a poor man in the white house, come on, Obama is by no means poor and never has been, he choose to live where he lived, but he did not do with out, he is a rich man, mocking poor people, he slums, he hangs out in poor parts of town, to make his self feel better,,,,he never helped in one in those poor parts of town, other than he would give them nice speeches on how to over come the white oppression, I bet that put a roof over their head,and food in their bellies,,,,,all talk and no action,,,,,,,

Obama just sneezed, maybe he’ll even sign the tissue for one lucky fan.

The headline could have just as easily read Clinton gives ten times as much to
charity as Obama. It was very predictable that the media would twist the story to put the Clintons in a negative light. We’ll get the last laugh in November though, when many Democrats vote for McCain.

Mark Penn gets caught secretly talking to Columbia about Free Trade. This after Hillary claims to be against it. What does that say about what she really stands for?
“If some of my advisers had been having private meetings with foreign governments and basically saying ignore what I’m saying because it’s only political rhetoric … I think it raises serious questions.” -Hillary Clinton.

If you are so upset by her being successful, vote for the other party – they seem to be able to able to stay out of the mud throwing. Word dont count, if you dont like her just take it to the polls and make your opinion heard then!

Yes, the Clinton´s are rich. Don´t blame them for that. Blame the people who pay to read their books and see them speak. HOWEVER, I´m seeing some people comment that many of their “donations” (which most often are, of course, made to reduce tax liability) have gone to none other than The Clinton Library. IF this is in fact true…shame on the Clintons for, essentially, taking advantage of loopholes in the tax system to, really, advantage themselves. Also, apparently Hillary´s $5 million loan to her own campaign is being paid back to her at a higher rate than she could get in the bank. This is quite scandalous as well since her donors would be, in effect, be paying her interest on an “investment.” I´m very curious to know where the Clinton donations have gone.

Is no wonder,she was in not rush to release her tax returns how would she had won Ohio, Texas,California.The big states with high unemployment and poor uneducated,unimformed.

a single word the man himself said to use to hang him. Lol. Funny.++++++++++++no here is what is funny, it not a single word it is , he is running for president of the nation, yet he admits to lack of Judgment, not once but several times,{not good for president. he admits that he doesn’t understand the process of voting yes and no, he doesn’t understand what that means, when he goes to church for 20 yrs, he hears , see nothing, and knows nothing, He has two long time friends, that he knows nothing about, which means he is shallow or is lying,? He say he did not vote for the war, that is good, but later we find out he did not cause he was not in the senate, makes a big difference , but he has voted in support of every bill since then, he lied about his record,”He was cautious — even on the Iraq war, which he had opposed as a Senate candidate. He voted against the withdrawal of troops and proposed legislation calling for a drawdown only after he was running for president and polls showed voters favoring it”

morningstar as an offended black woman I agree…this man has set us back into the 60′s. I as a black woman will not tolerat it

Soon it will be the Clinton’s one time friends and allies that will send them to a crushing defeat! Every day the list gets longer and longer! What comes around goes around! Put those two poster children for the ME generation out to pasture.
It’s only a matter of time Hillary’s going down!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! :-)

Dave Peck-You mean like Obama did not know about the Canadian NAFTA garbage?

Errgggaaahhhh! Do we seriously see this woman as Presidential material????
This is a joke.

Clinton folks and her campaign has played all sorts of nasty tricks thinking Obama would roll up. Once again she failed in her judgement as she failed on Iraq and Iran votes. Obama campaign is grounded and expanding everyday as anti-establishment to the Clintons. Clinton is now realizing that this skinny kid with a funny name has become a catalyst to start one of the biggest movement in Ameican history. Wait, it will wash away Wahington politicians like Hillary and McCain. You Clinton supporters, keep saying all that you can against Obama, you are in for a shock very soon. The flood gates of Americans wanting change will wash away the Clinton machine. You will consider yourself lucky to recognise Hill and Bill faces when all this is over. To all fair minded and thinking Americans, give up a part of you that still wants the bygone days of Bill Clinton, and join this movement, so that your children and future generation will gratefully look at you and say, “Thank you mom, Thank you Dad for standing with Obama. When we were in need you responded to the candidate who dared to turn the page on old Washington politicians and thus you gave us a new and prospeorus lives”

Another Obama paradox.
Camelot – the gaudy showimg off of Kennedy money -GOOD
The Clinton’s living modestly -BAd

Obama has more experience in a legislature than Hillary. And Hillary had no experience as “wife” of the President. Even the NY Times admitted her resume was thin on experience. She grossly exaggerated her experience and credentials.
Hillary’s health care plan will provide medical care for everyone – even the illegal aliens – and if we disagree with it, she promises to garnishee your wages. This is exactly her ill-thought out reasoning that caused the last health insurance debacle.
Yes, Hillary is right. She is not all talk. She did the Rose Law Firm, White Water, Travel Gate, Vincent Foster, …etc. Oh, yes she can – she wasted millions of dollars of tax payers’ money when she tried to pass health care reform when Bill was President. Oh, did I forget to mention that the Congress were occupied by the Dems then? Why failed? – she was too divisive that she couldn’t have Dems to vote for it. Yes, she is not all talks – even as the Clintons were leaving the White House she took funiture from it so that she had to reimburse the cost of nearly 3 million dollars to avoid a national disgrace.

When Obama gets done IF he’s elected he’ll hit the circut as well making money for nothing other than being a past, president. Same as every president before the last..

I don’t see anything wrong with having money. If people want to give them money for what they do, why should they say no?

Upon graduating from Wellesley, Hillary made a commencement speech that moved her audience. She went immediately to Yale Law School. Following Yale, and a year in Washington, Rodham flunked the DC bar exam twice which has a 60% pass rate. She moved to Arkansas and passed their bar exam which has an 80% pass rate, and married Bill Clinton. She taught at the University of Arkansas and joined the Rose law firm which is a corporate law firm. Clinton established a legal aid clinic at the university. She taught law for two years. As first lady of Arkansas, and of the U.S., Clinton served on many boards including Wal-mart. She chaired only one: the Task Force on National Health Care Reform, which failed, accomplishing only political traction for Republicans and a setback for her husband. She fended off prosecution involving the White House Travel Office and her investments with Whitewater. A year after Clinton became a Senator, she secured $20 billion for New York City in the wake of 9/11. Among other funding measures she directed toward her state, she prevented the closing of a military base there. Although she is considered to be one of the most influential Democrats in the Senate, most of her sponsored legislation has been symbolic — naming two post offices, two courthouses, honoring and congratulating sports teams and historic figures from New York. And in 6 years on Wal-mart board, she sat mute while the company fought against unions and the advancement of women. She has a reputation of being the queen of earmarks and recently secured a 1.5 million dollar earmark awarded to a Harlem minister who endorsed her candidacy for President. She also has accepted more corporate donations than any of the Republican candidates. NOT AN EXAMPLE OF A GOOD LEADER.

Guess you all have gone to the legislative pages on Mr. Senator Obama and his voting record or should I say the missed votes…or this one was the killer why he voted nay for bills that were geared towards helping the working middle class…His response…..Oh this is a killer….quote “I didn’t’ understand what it was talking about” that one got me……

The democratic race is polorizing the electorate to the point where the division will cause the democrats to lose in nov. The rehtoric coming from constituates on both sides is getting more ugly as time passes, young vs. older, black vs. white and male vs. female. Observing all posts, the younger voter is polorizing the electorate the most and this is not the unity I was expecting in this election. Now racial inuendos are appearing in the posts and this will only further divide the party, as well as cause race issues to escalate. I am fast becoming disenfranchised with my own party for the first time in all my years of voting and so are a lot of others. I don’t think people realize on both sides how fractured the party is becoming and this will cause some to not even vote in the general election or vote the other side. If this race comes down to the super delegates determining the winner, we will surely lose the election. I for one, have already went down to the department of motor vehicles and have already changed my affiliation from Democrat to Independent and I urge all the Obama Democrats to do the same. Most of these “Super Delegates” (which Bill is worth 12 just by himself!) are enter-twined with The Clinton crime family. They are either paying back favors or they like politics the way they are and are speaking with their own greed instead of the will of the people the are “suppose to” represent. If we all unite under the independent party we not only can get rid of Hillary once and for all but we can also get rid of all these “Super delegates” that sold us out!

Dave I have been a Democratic voter for over 30 years but, I hate to say this before I vote for Obama…I’d vote for McCain

I hear Hillary’s campaign has adopted a new theme song,+++++++++++++++WELL at least the person that wrote and sung hills theme song did not ask her to remove it and not use it, like they did Obama

Seriously:
When Hillary Clinton says there is no such thing as a pledged delegate she is in effect saying that there is no such thing as a free and fair election!
It’s OK with her if the super delegates
and the pledged delegates steal the nomination for her! She has no
conscience and she has no shame!
She should be running in Russia!
Hillary’s tactics and lack of ethics would be appreciated there!
How could anyone think of voting for
this woman?

jock59801; “I don’t see anything wrong with having money. If people want to give them money for what they do, why should they say no?” It’s not that simple. It depends on whether it’s proper or legal. An extreme case is Al Capone. People payed him for what he did. Doesn’t make it ok. I’m not saying they did anything wrong though.

“Hillary contantly whines about how big companies and their CEO’s make too much money and that she thinks the government should confiscate it for the “public good.” ” This is a fundamental premise of the Left. It’s what they preach to get votes. And it works!

We’ve noted before that Obama’s policy of not taking money from lobbyists is a bit of hair-splitting. It’s true that he doesn’t accept contributions from individuals who are registered to lobby the federal government. But he does take money from their spouses and from other individuals at firms where lobbyists work. And some of his bigger fundraisers were registered lobbyists until they signed on with the Obama campaign.

What’s the over/under for Clinton being forced out of this race because of her impending loss? Face it you Clinton rump- swabs Hillary’s just prolonging her inevitable loss!!! Obama is the NEXT President of the United States!

Backoffnewscensors,
Do you want to say that he should not take money from individua?
You might CEO or carpenter it does not matter
He never say he did not take money from CEOs
So what are you trying to say/implied by your statement.

If you vote Hill….if you vote MC Cain…you are voting for another term of Bush and his Republican Bushbot Congress that aren’t able to make decisions of their own.
If you Love your country and you want Change You will vote for Obama and vote every republican in every office and in every state out the door and then, and only then, can we clean up the mess that GW Bush and The Republican have made of this country!
Let you conscience be your guide……
Good luck with your choices….
Your children, your grandchildren, and their children are counting on you to make the right choice.

Someone tried to argue the experience Obama had from street….
Yes, it is the only experience he got from stress and his church as community organizer… There may be more than thousands of hundreds of people having this kind of experience or better..

After reading the posting here on this site, I am truly disappointed in a lot of you for your statements and your lack of patriotism. As American citizen’s we have a duty to always stay loyal to this country, but when it comes to politics’ people look more for the idiosyncrasy of a person which down plays their true intentions. In 1787; James Madison said. “In framing a system which we wish to last for ages, we should not lose site of the “CHANGE” which ages will produce.” We have reached that time, and now the time has come for a much needed change in America, and in its political parties. In times such as these we ought to band together for the greater cause, and relinquish ourselves of those who are running for office merely for their own personal satisfaction, and look at the whole picture of why a candidate is interested in becoming our next Chief Executive. Here in America, there is a calling for change. This change will bring the dreams to an awakening reality; that our forefather’s had envisioned about equality in this Great Nation. Not only will we feel the spirit of change, but the world will feel it’s meaning, and this message of change will echo throughout the world; that a brighter day has come forth. And with this change we will feel an emotional impact of unity, by weeding out all forms of segregation and racial tensions; the poison that has hindered this nation for far too long. This change is not about black or white, no; this change is not about man or women, this change is about the greater good for us all who believe that our freedom is at risk and a change is needed to bring this nation together once and for all. I feel that Obama’s quest for this change is a message that we should embrace, because it is time to use the Nonviolence Act of 1955 thru 1964, to create this change that is needed in our White House. No more talk, action is needed at the polls to make this happen.

Simply truth: a vote for Obama will be a vote for Mccain…
McCain will crash Obama easily by playing experience and race cards…
McCain will sweep all red states and win Mi., FL, Penn.. OH…
If McCain pick Colin Powell as vp.. He may win MD, VA, SC, NC as well…

g-Delusion? Thank you G. It’s wonderful to be delusional and at times familiar if not comfortable when dealing with Obama supporters such as yourself.

actually dog it was reported on fox last night

If you recall, when John Edwards was ased from last interview regarding his view on Obama, Edwards had some comments but the ONLY comment:
He can bring more voters…
That it is: he can bring mor voters…
Edwards didn’t say Obama is the once life leader, or the agent of change/hope..
Edwards said: he can bring more votes!!

Obama supporters, have you looked into his record in The Illinois Senate, or do you just believe his record because he told you so? His patron in the Senate, President of the Senate Jones, gave him the high profile bills to sponsor, also steered him away from the bills which would require much controversy one way or another. He also let him take credit for sponsoring bills that other Senators had done all the work on, causing much resentment by more experienced and harder working Senators. If Obama did all the work on the Illinois bills as he claims, then we would be able to see that work reflected in his notes,appointment books, etc. of that 8 years, right? Well, he had a choice to archive those papers, and didn’t, so now guess what? They’re “lost”, “maybe in storage”, he just can’t seem to find anything that would back up the rhetoric of how hard he worked in the Illinois Senate. More deflection of the true Obama, more reason to vote for McCain if people remain stupid enough to buy what this guy is selling.

Can anyone explain to me how someone that has belonged to a black separatist church that pledges its allegiance to Africa, is going to become President of the United States of America? America is ready for a black President, just not a candidate with a radical black background. If he wins the nomination, McCain will be the only sane choice for most Americans.

I can promise you with everything that is good Obama will not be president you can believe that. I am a black woman and I certainly don’t feel like looking at his bigot pastor, Farrakhan or any of his other host of unsavory friends up in the White House and, you can believe black and white I am not the only one that feels this way.

Obama against affirmative action based on race,,Obama has been careful when broaching this issue; in a 2007 ABC News interview he suggested that the affirmative action of the future should consider economic status more than race.

“Sen. Obama has repeatedly said that words matter, they do, and for him to stand on stage and thank someone who just minutes before used hate-filled and inflammatory language to describe John McCain, someone who has served his nation in and out of uniform for over 30 years, shows Obama’s true colors, liberal Chicago-style politics as usual,” McCain campaign spokesman Jeff Sadosky said before Obama responded. “Americans want more; they deserve better.”

I THINK THAT WE SHOULD SEE IT THAT EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE YOU JUST HAVE TO WANT IT AND BELIVED IT; THE CLINTON WAS IN MINUS WHEN THEY LEFT THE WHITE HOUSE AND IN THAT 7 YEARS THEY EARN SO MUCH THEY BELIVED IN THEMSELF AND THEIR COUNTRY ;THAT IS AMERICA EVERYTHING THING IS POSSIBLE; SHE MADE IT SO FAR; I THINK WE NEED A PRESIDENT LIKE THAT WHO HAVE POWER AND TO BRING THIS COUNTRY UP.WE SHOULD NOT JUDGE HER FOR HOW MUCH THEY EARN IS WAS NOT ALWAYS EASY FOR THEM BUT THEY MADE IT;THIS COUNTRY NEED A PRESIDENT LIKE THAT: SHE IS A FIGHTER AND SHE WILL FIGHT FOR US

One issue I don’t see mentioned in any news report is what has Obama done in his career for someone other than himself? The Clinton’s are always out there helping victims of aids, Katrina, poverty and you never hear anything that Obama does. The Clinton’s gave over 10 million to charity, the most Obama gave to charity was $220,000 to his racist church. A church who is paying 1.5 Million to built Preacher Wright a 10,000 sq. ft. house and giving him 10 Million in an account to boot.
People are quick to criticize the Clintons, but they are the ones out there taking up the cause and helping the unfortunate or victims of disaster-no matter what race, income, age, etc. It is a shame that so many people are lost in the empty rhetoric of Obama to see he is only in this race for himself and will DO NOTHING to help anyone else other than his cronies.

Illinois took in only 10,000 victims===========220,000 have been brought to Texas,_____Look like if Obama wanted to helped he could have taken a few more to his state,,,,,,,,,,,,

So everybody knew there were no weapons of mass destruction. I’m assuming you knew this as well but abdicated your responsibility to notify President Bush and the UN security council of your first hand knowledge. The Iraqis hate us? How do you know? Are you over there? Have you taken a poll?

No wonder Hillary shills for Corporate America, Just LOOK at all that money they gave her!

shills for corporate America, what about shills for the dead hand of government? At least with corporate America, you can vote with your pocket book. With the State, they just take your money by force of law.

Obama seems like a good person however somewhat centered on himself and his immediate circle of influence. I would honestly trust him except for one thing. Coyotees live with coyotees wild turkeys with wild turkeys. Look for an example to OJ Simpson who are his close friends. I have a real problem that he does not seperate himself completely from a man who would say “God Damn America” the same government he would swear to defend possibly to his death. Then to have dealings with a known felon in buying land. Sometimes who we are is best detected by the mirror image of those we Choose to Associate with……. I will never trust someone like Obama he is an apple who came from the same tree if that is where he chooses to be on Sunday……..

Oh-and to HillaryLies 5:32:50. Never forget that the great Rev. Wright preached that America brought that on itself. Maybe Obama should have argued your points with him.

What do you think the first Black President of the United States of America will make on the speaking circuit as well as in book deals once he leaves office?
Reality check people your stretching for something to condemn here.
Also Obama will then raise funds to pay for his Presidential Library and I would guess also start a foundation. I am going to take a guess here and say it will mainly support black advancement
type causes given his past history.
All fine, all normal just be realistic people.

I am stunned that the income of an ex-president’s family far exceeds the pension and wife’s senatorial salary. That raises questions of whether the ex-president cashed in on services offered during his presidency or from books which may not have reflected the truth but embellishment and self promotion. On the other hand, in America we create and worship celebrities who empty the pockets of their fans at the cost of savings. Even though the most skilled work force is in the USA, jobs are going elsewhere because it simply costs less to produce things elsewhere. In the USA, the cost of doing business is astronomical when you add up legal costs, insurance, advertising, political contribution, lobbying contribution possibly make up 99% of the cost. The CEO’s who make millions even after making losses, the political, sports and hollywood stars are all a product of the people and in a democracy you can change that by ensuring that the people keep their money in their pockets and saving it instead of spending it on celebrity worship. Why is a multimillionaire working so hard and desperately to get an annual Presidential salary of $400,000 because as an ex-president you can cash in on the favors and make millions, afterwards. There are very few leaders of today who don’t accumulate wealth and want to hang on to power for that reason and it is not just dictators like Mugabe, Saddam Hussein, it is also democratically elected individuals and dynasties. Clintons and other celebrities are smart and skillful people and they are truly living the super-sized American dream paid for by the people. Whether they are truly for the people I am not so sure. I certainly will not be making any more campaign contribution or paying for a $1,000/dinner fund raiser or a $500 concert or a $500 ball game. Washington needs change if the only people around the country getting rich are their leaders in Washington.

They have Burkle & The Cayman Islands, and even the NYT found they gave themselves a chunk of change – a charity writeoff over $5 mill, with no money given out.

Where it Oprah? Since the Rev. Wright’s tapes, we have not heard from her. Remember, Oprah was a member of Obama’s church until 2006.

All I got to say is blue-collar who?

Did Hillary hire the same wacko smear posters that the republicans did to smear the Clintons? Where do they come up with this wacko murder data? GET a LIFE! Barack Obama is the voice of the people who are supporting him…He will listen to us not some Carl Rovian stragegist or to his own crazy power hungry inner voice. I am tired of being lead by incompetent greedy leaders who try to deny us the very rights that were garaunteed to us by our Founding Fathers. If Americans were into kissing the rears of our leaders then we would still be a colony of the United Kingdom.

It’s pretty simple, people that are willing to dedicate themselves, work hard and try and get along with others, are usually successful. People that are angry and blame everyone else for their failures, usually aren’t successful.

Obama wouldn’t know honesty if it jumped up and bit him…He’s nothing more than gutter trash.
He sat in the pews of a church and heard nothing in reference to his illustrious pastor that was derogatory……He realized how STUPID that sounded so, he launched this master speech that would set the record straight.. Even had the audacity(love this word) to tell US that WE had racial issues. I like that touch! I guess he would know coming from a racially charged atmosphere for two decades. Made this bit production of Hillary’s tax information which revealed nothing we didn’t already probably know. But, have received campaign contributions far exceeding their total 8 year gross income…Oh my goodness that one is crazy.
Took questionable donations from none other Tony Rezko……But was the only living soul in Chicago that didn’t know the dynamics associated to him. Didn’t know him still even though he sold you the house and lived right next door…… I love it!
Can’t be held responsible you were oblivious of everything that was going on around you. Receiving money from unregistered lobbyist, their families, as well as other business associates….. But, because they were unregistered it was OK……. Call that a little double standard wouldn’t you say? Didn’t understand the voting process while in the Senate and oops my Senate records mysteriously disappeared.. Yeah right! EVERYBODY is looking at him like maybe we have a nut loose.
He made this great BIG issue oh my god Hillary has embellished her trip to Bosnia she is not to be trusted…But you on the other hand…..This next one is one of my personal favorites he truly should be nominated for an award……….
Your father was airlifted into America by way of the Kennedy’s in 1959. Story brought a tear to my eye of how your parents were able to meet through the kindness of the Kennedy’s…….Unfortunately your father came here in 1960 the air lift had already occurred……So that says…. It never happened!

Someone close to Hillary knows the dirt on her, to bring a End to her run for Office! Its time you come forward and fill America in!

People of Pa. Obama is the future, Hillary represents the past, which one will you choose? Wake up all you, younger voters.Come out in numbers like the witch Pa. has never seen before.

I visit many news sites (yes my life is sad hahaha) but one thing stands out. No matter who you support in the Democrats the passion is tremendously strong on both sides. Stronger that I have seen in my voting life. I cannot see a large number of voters on both sides switching allegiances for the good of the party. I believe Obama will win the battle (nomination) but I fear McCain just may win the war. Something I thought almost impossible for any Republican at the start of this year.
It is no good blaming either Obama or Clinton they both posted good results in differing ways validating them remaining in the race. Still if Clinton doesn’t pull out a big victory in PA then her justification for remaining in erodes dramatically.
Come August if they are seperated by under 100 votes and both short of the democratic standard of 2025 and no delegates from Mi and Fl are seated it is valid for Clinton to contest the convention. Many supporters on Obamas side won’t like it but that is how this party works. It is the parties fault for having a complicated delegate system. There is something to be said for the Republicans winner takes all approach.

I love the expression
“whatever it takes to win”
I think close exmination of all candidates on both sides will reveal this is mandatory for trying to win a nomination and thereby not unique to any one candidate. They all can tick that box if only we care enough to see clearly.

I agree that voters have turned out in record numbers.
The problem is that it is more to do with candidate identity: female vs black than policy.
The war is despised but still it is not the number one reason for voting for either of these candidates. Nor is the economy. Nor is health. The anti Bush factor in general figures strongly but overridingly most voters have a very strong empathy with their preferred democratic candidate. An empathy that rallies them to debate. That foreshadows potential protests and possible violence. Empathy that is so strong that it has developed into an all or nothing mentality; with anything up to 30 odd percent of voters catergorically stating they will abstain from a vote in the general election rather than simply vote for the party if their candidate is unsuccessful. That is a huge number from random selections. Prehaps the passage of time between nomination and November will lessen this angst in some but who knows?
Another term of Republicans is not inconceivable.

Patriot:
Hillary has more dirt in her closet than Obama and McCain put together. And if you dont think the Republicans will use this against her if she were to “win” the nomination, Than we are all in for a shock come Nov!

One closing note and I’ll be done you can do what you do in here….Before I would sit back and let this dangerous man take office, I’d vote in McCain and if he picks Huckabee as VP is’t a sure win….

Attention all Americans who believe in a fair race: Obama’s Illinois strategy is being used again here in the Dem race … in Illinois, he got a team of lawyers together who poured through the paperwork of the opposing candidates and found technical errors in their filing papers which Obama then used to succeed in having them disqualified from the race … so Obama ran unopposed. Sound familiar???
This is a matter of public record as reported by numerous “news” outlets, including the Chicago Tribune, who has endorsed Obama.
Here again, Obama is trying to drive out the competition so that he can run unopposed. It isn’t hard to see why the media is helping him: all that campaign money he’s raising … where does it go? For media ads and coverage … he’s a cash cow for the media.
Now Obama is trying the same dirty tricks and tactics to try to secure an unopposed run as the Dem nominee. We, the people, need to stop him. No matter how you feel about the candidates, the process of electing our next Dem nominee needs to be democratic and open … not a one-way, unopposed ticket for the media’s cash cow.

I am not able to go into detail. It’s not my call. Obama and who he is will all come out in the wash…But, I’ll say this much, if you vote for him and he wins. The only person you can blame is YOU….Good Luck!

Just look at this way; any money donated to Hiliary is a good investment. How can you go wrong? It is obvious BC know how to make money. So if I donated my $100.00 now, i will certainly get it back quickly when the Clintons get back in office. If the price of gas goes back to $2.75/gal it won’t take long to get that money back. Let’s hire the Clinton for the WH again so we can make money as well. From history we know that they are willing to share unlike the Rep who want every billion for themselve and who certainly is above trying to sabotage the American people by trickery. No way Obama can win just another Republican trick. Vote HC 08.

shame on the Clintons for, essentially, taking advantage of loopholes in the tax system to, really, advantage themselves. ——————
Obaviously you didn’t read the story above. The CLinton’s did not take advantage of tax loopholes, tehy apid over 315 in tx while most people in their income bracket pay 20%. The Clinton’s have always given close to 10% or more of their income to charity, Obama’s less than 1% until he started to run for President. There are over 30 years of Clinton tax returns, more than any other public servant, on the web, go look for yourself, but here is an example:
1998 Income $197,651 Charity $18,114 9%
1990 Income $268,646 Charity $36,875 13.7%
1998 Income $504,109 Charity $161,938 32%
1999 Income $416,039 Charity $39,200 9.4%

What has Obama done for the African American and help fight AIDS? And, where was Obama for MLK day this week? It you look at the type of people, churches and group that are working around the world to feed the hungry, providing clean waters to the poor and helping fight aids, they are White people. Most white people are quick to give up their life and go to another country to help the poor. We should be proud of the Clintons and Bill Gate for their parts in fighting HIV and AIDS. I as an African American want to say thank you to the Clintons, Bill Gate and other White people that willing to go the extra miles to help others.

Maurice you are wondering.  The deals  you are speculating about are just that. Surely since the Clinton every meal, daily trash, dirty linen is and has been investigated on a day to day basis don’t you think that if there was any thing for the FEC to review they would have been turned over to them long before now.  Since the Clinton Library is usch an issue who donated to all the other Presidential Libraries, esp. GHWB.   I would be more concern about the people who want to donate to GWB Library than the one that has already donated to BC.  It amazing thatthat it is necessary to wonder about things that people can criticized HC for.  The truth is if Obama had not interjected himself in this campaign with his halo promises of change and hope, the majority of us would have been happy to see Hiliary Clinton win the nomination. The Clinton has already had to deal with more investigations than practically any other politician in this country and the
only thing that came from it was the “parade” of a blue dress. WE should be so lucky to HC in the White House so that we can began to recovery ffrom the many atrocities being inflicted on the American people now. The sooner the Rep are out office, the sooner we can have someone from day one to immediately put a stop to some of GWB and his cronies mean spirited policies. Hiliary 08.

If not Hillary, then McCain 08.

The Clinton Foundation is a Charitable Foundation look it up on Google. It is not a savings and loan account they can make withdrawals from. The Clintons have many flaws but don’t try and read something awful into everything. They donated 10 million to charity end of story.
By the same token if you want to take that tact then I guess you are equally dismayed that 95% of the Obamas charitable donations were to Black centric organisations such as the Black congressional caucus, united trinity church, muutu dance theatre, a charity devoted to overseas aid in africa and asia. This is all from someone who sees himself as an American first and foremost.
In ten years time if Obama wins the Presidency he will still be youger than the Clintons are now and will have not driven himself anywhere etc etc.
Also how tough do you think a family living in an upper chicago area in a 3 million dollar home with a yearly combined income of half a million (pre nomination campaign) plus book royalties are actually doing it. They had nannies and housekeepers whilst they were both working. Do you think they did much lining up for stuff??? They holiday and socialise with the likes of Penny Pritzker worth 2.8 BILLION last count and take vacations in Hawaii every Christmas and recently the Virgin islands.
Now good luck to them I am not saying they haven’t worked hard but if you think they are everyday folks you are kidding yourself.
How everyday do you think they will be at the end of all this even 2 years from now.

to maurice
did you miss the bit on the tax returns showing they made 80 million in book royalties and public speaking………
that pretty much covers the 8.5 million debt.

These 2 have been money grubbers their entire corrupt lives.
