full title...‘We came out of the White House dead broke and in debt’: Hillary Clinton defends her $200,000 speaking fees to pay for their houses and Chelsea’s education

Former First Lady Hillary Clinton isn't ashamed of the massive amount of money she and husband Bill Clinton have earned over the last decade through high-paying speaking gigs.

Hitting the speaking circuit was a necessity in order to maintain their lifestyle after Bill's term as the 42nd President of the United States ended, Clinton told ABC's Diane Sawyer in a sit-down interview ahead of the release of her book Hard Choices.

Heck, in 1999, they bought a mansion in New York, so Hillary could claim that as her residence so she could run for Senator from New York.

Few remember that the Secret Service built a residence on that property then paid rent equivalent to the mortgage payment, so essentially the home was free courtesy of the American Taxpayer.

One could also ask how Bill's huge multibillion dollar charities manage to run a deficit.

Saw 3 copies of that doorstop [My Story] on a rack at the county library's book sale in 2007. No, I didn't buy them for defiling. Thought about it, though... :)

"Dead broke and in debt so they buy a 5,000 sq. ft. house in Georgetown?"

Plus the house in New York.
Plus Bill's office in NYC.

AND another couple $Million house in Chappaqua. Nice for “dead broke,” ain’t it.

Of course, the Chappaqua house was bought for them by current VA Gov. Grifter who arranged terms none could refuse.

Anybody who would pay this wacko even a dime to torture them with her voice has major mental health issues, but that’s liberals for you. Can you imagine paying $200,000 to listen to this??

That’s like paying $200,000 to have someone drill your brains out through your ears.

Oh, cripes, cry me a freaking river, already. Hillary has always been about money. Bill wants more to dip his wick, but Hillary has always been about bucks. Sure, they want to grab what sympathy and power they can along the way, but Bill’s happy as long as he has women dropping for him, and Hillary is happy as long as the dough is rolling in.

That’s right. I remember them moving into a homeless shelter and living off food stamps for a while before she could get a job . . . .

Sad to say, but the only thing that will stop this witch is a serious health issue, i.e., a massive stroke that will shut her up. Unfortunately, even that probably wouldn’t stop her — See Tim Johnson. The RATs would roll her out in a wheelchair, and say, “See, she still can be POTUS.”
God Help Us!
