Obama paying debt

You know I don't know if that's a good idea or not, but what i've been told that is what they do to keep the party ( democratic) together. If he does pay her debt that will make him a noble man...think about it, as much as she tried to belittle him, and cause major damage, trying to divide the race between the people and the party is unspoken for, by paying her debt she will have to face the fact that he is the better person white or black. I use to be for her, until her campaigning became hatred and mean. She will never get my vote. She needs to step down and stop making a fool of her self and let Obama focus on the top issues and beat McCain.

Hillary clinton

hillary clinton should never have been considered eligible to run for president . If your spouse is president for two terms and you consider yourself part of his presidency, you are ineligible for the office.

Red Flags!

When you have to finance your own campaign this can be the ultimate signal that "its over".

She thinks it an issue of entitlement to be the nominee but buying your nomination will only alienate the public.

Hillary as Administator?

The manner in which Hillary Clinton has run her campaign makes me shudder to think of how she would run the nation as President. Deeply divided and in deeper in debt.

Obama will pay her bills

Did you hear? Obama's going to help her pay her campaign debts!!!! Not sure he will need anymore $$ from me if he can do that. When his campaign calls I will ask. Maybe he can pay her off out of the interest he earns by setting aside $$ for his second term campaign. If he can pay her creditors off interest earnings, he ought to be able to manage the federal budget, don'tcha think? Also if he can pay her out of interest earnings then I don't have to ask him for my money back. I didn't send it to her. God knows I never would after the horrific combative destructive campaign she's run, terminal narcissism? Blind ambition? Watch me run amok trying to run you down and then pay my way? Poor me, I've only got 100 million to get by on. O yes, already voted in Oregon. We've had ballots for about a week.

Presidential race...

If only all three major-party candidates (Hussein Obama, HiLIARry, and McLame) would quit the race, and politics, right now. All are socialists, pro-open borders, and long-established liars, so are unqualified for any office, and arguably traitors. Ron Paul is the only Constitutionalist that ran from either party this time, so was the only one whose oath of office wouldn't be in violation in the first 3 seconds of taking office.

But what about the Poor?

That $11 million bucks would go a long way in building shelters, inner-city school programs, or helping "the poor" people in other ways that the Clintons say they care so much about; I guess they'd rather use the taxpayer's, I mean *our* money instead.

Clinton Debt

Columbia should be good for another $800K. Maybe she could get Chelsea's hedge fund to give her a couple of million. Or she could have Maggie Williams get her into a good sub-prime loan.

Just get $200k in Dubai, again

The Clintons crying poverty? Nope, won't sell. Bill gets 100s of thousands "talking" in the Middle East, let him go "talk". I think we even pay his expenses when he gives those "talks". We pay for his Secret Service, his housing, his office, his jet, his communications - and he comes back home having given uranium mining deals to foreign investors, and with millions donated to his Foundation. I hear his expenses are more than Bush I and Carter's combined, and he's also only given away half the millions in his Foundation.

For the Clintons to continue to divide the party in order to collect $50 checks from little old ladies to repay themselves is - typical. Let them get out, let us start June fighting McCain, please lord.

Campaign Cash

Donors donating to Hillary at this point is like betting on the "Field" on a Las Vegas Crap Table. Such a sucker bet!
