Hillary Clinton isn’t rich. She’s you.
The Clintons, who are so fond of reminding voters that former President Bill Clinton left behind a budget surplus, were not so particular about their personal finances in the late 1990s. If you forgot that little historical detail, Hillary Clinton is happy to remind you that she, too, has “struggled” and knows what “dead broke” feels like.
“If you — you have no reason to remember, but we came out of the White House not only dead broke but in debt,” Clinton told ABC’s Diane Sawyer after being confronted with the fact that she makes a ridiculous amount of money on the speaking circuit.
“We had no money when we got there and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea’s education, you know, it was not easy,” she added.
“First of all, we had to pay off all our debts,” Clinton continued, “which was, you know, he had to make double the money because of obviously taxes and then pay off the debts and get us houses and take care of family members.”
That’s an interesting answer. Sawyer’s question was not, “You’re making an absurd amount of money, why don’t you apologize?” It was, “You’re making an absurd amount of money, why would you ever want to stop just to run for president?”
But Clinton’s defensive response made more sense when Sawyer asked a follow-up question. “Do you think Americans will understand five times the median income in this country for one speech?” Sawyer asked.
“Let me put it this way,” Clinton answered. “I thought making speeches for money was a much better thing than getting connected with any one group or company, as so many people who leave public life do.”

Just listen to Obozo trying to put together a cogent thought without the teleprompter.................uhhhh.....and then uh.....well, uhh......and so uhhhh.....................
Why couldn’t she just do the old cattle futures thingy and rake in millions!................
BHO2 isn’t a native born American. His first language was Indonesian.
He has a gift for languages, though, and picked up English when Lolo Soetoro married Stanley Ann D.Obama and brought her and her small son to Indonesia.
BHO2 understands and speaks both Arabic and Pashto (used in Pakistan and most of southern Afghanistan). It was one of the reasons he was recruited by the CIA and worked for them during the early 1980s.
Who is he? What’s his real name? I don’t know, but I’m sure he is arrogant enough that he will eventually tell us, or the CIA will leak his original name.
If you haven’t guessed by reading this, he isn’t really BHO2. He attended Punahou, in Hawaii, as “Barry Soetoro, a foreigner from Indonesia”. That is probably why his school records are all locked; the Occidental College and Columbia University records will all show his name as Barry Soetoro.
Remember their “friends” and supporters also had a “shower” for the Clintons to help furnish their new homes when they left the WH.
What? They used to brag about how rich they were. I remember a story about how hideously expensive the special fabrics were that their decorators were choosing.
Poor Bill and Hill had to move into a 1.2 mil. $ shack and live like poor folks. I must really be poor as my best house was worth 250 K before the market fell out. I feel your pain!
Obvious proof of brain-damage suffered in her fall — delusion.
By the time she left the White House she was a Senator with that big honking house in Chappaqua. They couldn’t have been that broke.
Hillary Rodjob Clinton:
“Huh? I am *not* a bum. I’m a jerk. I once had wealth, power, and the love of a beautiful woman. Now I only have two things: my friends, and... uh... my thermos.
Huh? My story? Okay. It was never easy for me. I was born a poor black child. I remember the days, sittin’ on the porch with my family, singin’ and dancin’ down in Mississippi...
We were sharecroppers until Daddy lost the farm, so we moved to West Virgina and I became a coal miner’s daughter.
Nobody’s seen the trouble I’ve seen, nobody knows my sorrow.”
They are the 99%.
“Seriously, we were dead broke coming out of the white House. Why do you think we stole silverware and other White House priceless artifacts to put on eBay?” Hillary Clinton explaining her finances to Diane Sawyer
Satire?
If not, sell everything and give it to the poor. God will reward you.
I hope she drops dead what a liar bitch she was rich I’m sure her and the pervert socked plenty of our money away in Swiss accounts.
If they needed money why didn’t she make a few million by trading cattle futures? IIRC, she made a tidy sum doing that before due to her astute trading ability. That’s the problem with lying. You have to remember all the lies you’ve ever told and who heard them.
Bwa ha ha ha ha.
The Onion, right???
Their definition of “broke” is the same as their definition of “is”. Translation: down to our last million. Lying skank. The stuff they stole must have gotten then a few bucks.
This requires, “suspension of disbelief”.
