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.”

“Won’t Make a Big Difference”.... Yes, in that it will be between Tweedledee and Tweedledum. God only knows what will be left of America by then.
Our bills are all due and the bimbos have sued and we're busted
We got no more secrets to sell and we're busted
Our donors went dry and the Chinese won't pay,
Our big stack of bills just gets bigger each day
The bank's gonna haul our plunder away cause we're busted.
Bill went to his brother to ask for a loan cause we're busted.
We hate to beg like a dog for a bone, but we're busted.
His brother said "Bill, there ain't a thing I can do,
My wife and my kids have all packed up and flew,
But thanks for the pardon, I'd drink one for you, but I'm busted."
Well, we've never been caught but people go wrong when they're busted.
The money we scammed last summer is gone and we're busted.
Our billfolds are all bare and the plastic's maxed out,
Our eight years are up, we got to pack up and go,
But we'll make a living, just where I don't know cause we're busted.
We're broke, no bread, I mean like nothing, It's over for us Clintons.....
You are correct sir, unfortunately. I wish it were different, but there are so many LIVs out there.
The sad part is her record is better than his.
read my after action report from today’s Freep/Tea Party protest of hillary’s book signing in her “hometown” of Chappaqua....it was almost like a ghost town; little interest, little enthusiasm and NO media:

As I’ve said on here, if Axlegrease and Plouffy can get a guy from Kenya named Hussein elected POTUS, think what they could do with a sweet gal from Oklahoma named Lizzie...
Of course, hussein doesn’t believe it because IF he ever leaves, his off shore accounts will be overflowing with $$$$$$$$$$$.
Thanks, that caught the eye here as well. Enough to go back for a second look to read again. The bow-boy should know a great deal about the fly. They seem to enjoy him.
Urkel is correct. Even the most ardent of Cankles supporters will admit that she is indeed a very good liar.
LOL Stephanopoulos and Obama KNOW gaffs are NO BIG DEAL if said by a Democrat BECAUSE men like Stephanoppoulos KEEP IT OUT OF THE NEWS.
Keep it out FOR democrats. Biases and damn proud of it.
If a Republican had said the same the press would still be yucking it up about the stupid rich Republican... and they'd be telling the story in 2016. But will Hillary? The press tried to make it 'O-VAR' as the words were dropping from her mouth.
Ain’t it the truth.
I think it was a deliberate insult. At least I chose to look at it like that. Bill is gonna go ballistic!
He’s right.
What has a Nobel Peace Prize done to stop the murders and wars this POS has overseen?
A clear sign that Hildabeaste is in deep doodoo
A full-on Clinton sycophant and part-time Obama sycophant interviewing the latter about the former. Great example of the MSM today. And Obama being nice? Doesn’t he know Hillary called him ‘feckless’ and ‘having his hand off the tiller’?
Obama knows about flies.
