Hillary Clinton’s ‘Dead Broke’ Comment Won’t Make a Big Difference, Says President Obama
By Benjamin Bell
Jun 29, 2014 President Barack Obama doesn’t believe comments made by his former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton about how she and former President Bill Clinton were “not only dead broke but in debt” when they exited the White House will matter too much if she chooses to run for president.
“As soon as you jump back into the spotlight in a more explicitly political way, you’re going to be fly-spec like this,” Obama told ABC News’ chief anchor George Stephanopoulos in an exclusive interview. “She’s accustomed to it. Anybody who gets involved in public life is accustomed to it. Over time I don’t think it’s going to make a big difference.”
Obama asserted that his onetime political rival has a record that speaks for itself.
“I think that Hillary has been to this rodeo a bunch of times,” he said. “She is in public service [be]cause she cares about the same folks that I talked to here today. Her track record on that speaks for itself.”
The president said Clinton’s potential re-entry into the political sphere invites more scrutiny, but said she has experience dealing with harsh criticism and the “dead broke” comment would not likely dog her long-term. Obama Calls Boehner Lawsuit Threat A ‘Stunt’
Clinton, widely seen as the strongest contender for the 2016 Democratic nomination for president, is currently promoting her new book “Hard Choices.” It was during her first television interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer in which she said, “We came out of the White House not only dead broke but in debt.”

Obama knows that democrats are immune from scandal and outrages of all kinds. Bill Clinton got ____ in the oval office WHILE working and NOTHING happened to him politically. His wife is about to become president.
“It won’t make a difference for me because I will still hate the b***h and I will stab her in the back in 2016.”
The LIVs will have long forgotten that Hillary has virtually no accomplishments and will vote for her “to be part of something”.
LOL Hillary is off to a failing start in the run for the WH.
The upcoming fall mediagasm over William Jefferson Webster “lil bubba” Clinton-Mezvinsky will help a bit, but I think she’s far more vulnerable to an attack from the left than she was in 2008.
Look out for Lizzie!
Disaster Part II , sequels are always worst
He’s such a good predictor. Among those who adore her...he’s probably right.
No it probably won’t make a difference, 0bama lies constantly and it hasn’t made a difference for him, he knows most all Rats can do the same thing.
Democrat voters are accustomed to liars.
They are immune because Republicans are pathetic.
When someone is being frugal with the truth you better believe people will sit up and take notice.
...says the (possible) man who has said hundreds of things that are totally wrong over the last decade.
I’ll bet Hillary fired off a note saying, “Thanks, but no thanks!”
Obama knows the American Electorate. He got elected twice. His disdain for the voter is evident in his every action. He knows we’re past the tipping point. Nothing he’s done will be undone. Go fishing. Enjoy your family. Politics in this country is now in the hands of those who control the urban voting blocs.
I can't embed the photo and it will be gone from the front page by tomorrow.
Another thing, the comments were moving right along, then hours ago they stopped all new comments. There is a person on there who says they will all go to jail and Boehner as speaker will be President.
When pigs fly. Never happen.
Anyone that dares to mention it will be deemed to be a RACIST!, or a misogynist, or sumpin’.
What difference does it make?
Lib females will vote for this POS cause she is a female,only.Just as blacks voted for A-Hole,he was black.They all think this is a TVshow
He just called his Secretary of State “fly spec.” You can’t make this up!
