Hillary Clinton: We Were Dead Broke Clinton: 'We Gave Speeches to Pay Off Debt, Numerous Homes' Share Tweet Email

Hillary Clinton, who recently raked in $5 million dollars in speaking fees in 15 months, recounted to Diane Sawyer the sad tale of her former destitution, telling her, “We came out of the White House not only dead broke but in debt.”
According to Clinton, she and her husband, who has made over $100 million since leaving the White House, “struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea’s education, you know, it was not easy.”
But, as Clinton’s story goes, the two hard-working, middle-class millionaires somehow managed to put food on the table in their multiple houses, even though they “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.”
Although Sawyer wondered if Americans would understand why Hillary Clinton needs a speaking fee of $200,000, “five times the median income in this country for one speech”, Clinton assured her that she’s taking the high road: “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.”

What about all those White House gifts that Linda Tripp said you stole? You know, all that gold stuff from Saudi princes that is illegal for presidents and their greedy wives to keep?
I’d love to be her kind of broke.
Dead Drunk maybe
Because it seems to me they are relying heavily on "white privilege" to get back into office. The Clintons' have benefitted from, and are climbing back into office, using privileges far beyond those of the working class voter. " White privilege" denotes the array of advantages the Clintons have cultivated over years in public office.
These two are shadowed by the perks of "white privilege":
<><> massive wealth....
<><>multiple homes in posh enclaves....
<><> the chain of high public offices....
<><> privileged friends in high places....
<><> global connections....
<><> affirmations of their own worth....
<><> greater social status...
<><>expansive freedoms wealth and connections provide...
<><> unlimited access to the press to speak freely.
Hillary is relying on the "income equality" bugaboo to hoist herself into office This is "white privilege" in a nutshell....the Clintons label others as "different" while presenting themselves as "normal."
Right, bad Bubba remembers black churches burning while growing up.
Unlike some others who are just dead.....
Thanks so much for that! Hillary thinks we have bad memories.
She's full of it.
Wasn’t this around the time that there was a media outcry about how lavish Bill’s Harlem office was going to be?
Notice she looked down, then to the side,
A sign of deception.
Morally bankrupt, yes. Financially bankrupt? Bullshit. Like her husband she is a liar.
I’ll fix the headline for you...
Hillary Clinton: We Were Dead Broke (for tax purposes)....
Unlike some others who are just dead.....
Vince Foster and Ron Brown just left the White House.... DEAD...
