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.”

“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.”

Of course, the businesses and organizations who paid the $200K/pop for her and BJ’s verbal spews were completely non-partisan and had NO political agenda in paying them those ridiculous amounts.

I’m just darn sure that many Tea Party organizations and other patriotic Conservative/Republican-leaning organizations stepped right up to the plate for the privilege of having the great ones at their picnics.

No, she didn’t want to take the low road as so many former politicians do...

She and BJ are the filth of this country, and make no mistake about it, they are looking for their own Third Reich to kick in with Hillary. Not the first time I’ve said this, but BJ was the First Reich, Obama the Second, and Hillary their hopeful Third.

I hate the Clintons so much.

Yeah, I was broke many years ago. Really broke. Paid my bills and had 25 cents left in my bank account. Now that is broke.

I heard that she had a poodle cut, with the emphasis on the, ‘poo’...

[bikerman]

What a steaming pile of excrement this hag is.

[Slyfox]

so if they were required to estimate the value of that on their taxes, they weren't really broke.

When they were in office as governor of AR, Hillary wrote off Clinton's used underwear "briefs" on their taxes.

If you have to ask how much I charge to watch a Clinton interview, you can’t afford it.

[Tennessee Nana]

didn’t the Clintons once make oodles in Arkansas through the White Water company or something ???

Clinton’s salary was $200,000/year, with virtually no expenses — for 8 years, that’s $1.6M.

Presidential pension is almost $200,000/yr.

“”I heard that she had a poodle cut, with the emphasis on the, ‘poo’...””

Are you joking? Nah! No poodle cut; just the same stringy, greasy looking long hair that women seem to love today.

The klintons took the White house china when they left. They took a lifetime supply off “W”s form the white house computers. The phones no longer worked when they left.

Fox said the made $12M the first year out. Gore made $100M the first 8 years after he got out.
