This year alone Mr. Clinton has raised $7.3 billion for his various social causes. Mrs. Clinton’s Senate re-election campaign has cashed in more than $49 million.
Now, some of their friends say they are starting to feel “Clintoned out.”
The New York Times spoke with one of their donors, who would not be named, who said he was bowing out of extravagant fundraising events hosted by the Clintons this weekend because he was “Clintoned out.”
The source said their financial solicitations were ''absolutely endless.''
The Clintons show no signs of easing up...
Although Bill’s birthday was August 19th, weekend events were billed as a 3-day celebration of his 60th birthday.
In reality, the events were scheduled much closer to Hillary’s 59th on October 26th. Her milestone was only marked with a Thursday evening dinner reception. Tickets to celebrate her 59th were sold for $1,000 each.
Another anonymous donor told the New York Observer he was getting too much financial pressure from the Clintons.
He said, "I'm on Clinton overload. I'm not really wanting to do this. I've been tight with the Clintons for many years, but I'm beginning to feel used."
Money raised from Hillary’s reception Thursday went to her Senate campaign, while funds from weekend events went to Bill’s foundation...

Well, it is THEIR money, and who is to tell them which way to blow it? But I long ago learned the basic phrase "not a cent", and liberally use it on all those who attempt to mooch off me. Hopefully they learn the same words.
Monica, is that you?
I think everyone is pretty sick of these hillbilly scroungers already!!
Even white mice learn.
Every dollar these morons throw at Bubba is one dollar that does not end up in the war chest of the DNC. It is amazing to me that we are a week out of an election, and Bubba is sucking down all the Democrat money for some global boondoggle, leaving all the Democrat candidates high-and-dry.
Sometimes I gotta wonder if this guy isn't some kind of Republican deep-cover plant.
Clinton happens! /F. Lee Levin
LOL.
" Monica, is that you? "
It's no surprise. The Clintons have been sucking the funds from the Dem party forever.
As the funding goes so does the party. Republicans have raised more than Democrats. While Sir Hilary has huge political war chest she has been reticent to "share" the spoils with those candidates in need.
Do the Gifters still have our white house silverware, china...?
No kidding!
Just wait until Hillary runs for President! You ain't seem nothing yet!
Besides, I would be money that they are siphoning off some of it for themselves. After all, who is going to challenge them on it?!
This would just be the start.
How much money do they need ?
I guess that there is never enough that we can do for them ?
There are limits.
Well I can say, I haven't spent one cent one the Clintons. Those that have, deserve my sympathy.
A slogan popularized by Karl Marx
It is no exageration to say Hillary is a socialist and her sentiment an obscenity that could only be put forward by someone who never held an honest job in her life.
I've had Clinton fatigue since 1992. I wish those narcissistic pigs would just go away. Still, I find myself wondering how these people can consider themselves as representatives of the common people.
Clinton hasn't raised 7 billion for anything. Totally bogus figure.
Lord knows. I've been on Clinton burnout for years.
Sort of like many in the country have been feeling for many years?
