Just a friendly observation from something I saw one one of the talk shows this AM.
I watch them all BTW...

Wolfson on Fox was cagey about HRCs debt. Wallace kept pushing him and the most he got out of him was their last financial statement showed 10 mil, Wallace pushed again and reminded him about the 11 million in loans and finally got him to admit it was at least 21 mil.

Now if their financial situation was ANY better dont you think he would have mentioned it? Also, the way he kept pushing what the last FEC report showed it leads me to believe it's quite likely that their debt is more than 21 mil.

I think the estimate was the HRC campaign costs around 30 mil a month...any guesses how in debt that campaign is right now?

Better, what will the number be by June 3rd? 40 mil?

1. That is really
The only thing the Obama team should be pushing with the Supers.

How can she fight the GOP without going into debt when she can't fight me?

2. Another friendly observation....
why is the presidency so important that someone would put that much of their own money on the line? I'm missing something here..big time. The job pays nowhere near that above the table. Must be what goes on under the table that makes it so desirable.

4. $133M post-run ain't too shabby, shraby.
And think of all their 'friends' who provide for things like libraries. I'd still like to know who Bill's friends were...

6. Yup, it's what comes in under the table,
over the transom and through the woods that refills the coffers in fine shape. Sickening, say what?

14. One of Them Is Dirt Ball NeckCar Owner Rick Hendrick
That Fat Fuck was a CONVICTED FELON , until Clinton's brother Put Old Rick on the Clinton Pardon Train along with bail jumper, deviant Marc Rich

During his last week in office, President Bill Clinton pardoned Rich, who had fled the U.S. during his prosecution and was residing in Switzerland. Clinton's eleventh-hour move, along with pardons of his half-brother, Roger, and former business partner Susan McDougal, outraged Republicans and Democrats alike. The Rich pardon sparked an investigation into whether it was bought by the hefty donations Rich's ex-wife, Denise, had given to the Clintons and the Democrats.

5. Look at Bill
They were almost bankrupt after they left office in 2000 from all the legal fees.

They ended up making 109 million in 8 years. Alot of that was from people who wanted to influence a potential President.

After this is over his speaking fees won't be what they used to.

8. No kidding
After how he has run his portion of this campaign, I would think he will be lucky to get a gig cutting the ribbon for a SaveMart opening.

9. Yeah, it's more about after the table...
Former presidents make crazy money in speaking engagements...can you imagine how much the two of them would make together in dual engagements?

12. Indeed...so how much are they willing to personally put
themselves in debt to attempt to reap the benefits after leaving the white house.

Everyone speculated they made what, around 133mil in 9 years?

So where is the line? What is the amount of debt they hit before finally surrendering?

13. She can only borrow up
to half the marital assets.

After that she can't loan herself anymore.
