Bill Clinton: I Have to Give Paid Speeches Because I Didn’t Make Money in the Stock Market

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On September 26, 2014 @ 7:30 pm In The Point | 6 Comments

“I did not take a bribe from that donor”

un·be·liev·a·ble

adjective:
Not able to be believed
Unlikely to be true
Bill Clinton

The Clintons are really doubling down on their “Flat broke” narrative.

Why he still gives paid speeches:

You know, I had my heart problem, first one thing then another happened. And then when Hillary became secretary of state—actually, when she ran for president, then when she became secretary of state—I decided that we wouldn’t have any investments. So I left the money in the bank, and the good news is, I missed the stock-market crash; the bad news is that I missed the uptake. So I just left the money in the bank. So I still have to work a little bit, but I don’t mind that. I enjoy that. I like those speeches: I get up and meet people all over the world and all over the country and learn things I wouldn’t learn otherwise. It keeps me in touch with the life of younger people, which I like.

Smart Whitewater investors like the Clintons missed the stock market? How awful. Now they’re back to being flat broke. Bill fails to mention that this was because of his wife’s presidential campaign. Before that they had lots of money invested with Ron Burkle.

The Clintons have made around $100 million. And Bill wants us to believe that he has to work because he just left the money in the bank. Both he and his wife make six figures a speech. They have one adult married daughter into another wealthy family.

What exactly does he have to pay for that all the money can’t cover?

How stupid does he… oh right. The American people voted for him twice. He’s got a point. There are people out there dumb enough to believe that Bill Clinton gives paid speeches because he just doesn’t have enough money to support all his mansions.

What a coincidence. I have to get up early every morning and go to work because I refused to become a politician.

Likely Bubba aims to avoid the OWS gang lining up against Hillary, by dissociating himself from the stock market. It’s all about 2016 for that guy. He’ll do anything to get Hillary elected president: in boosting her to the White House, he sees penance and redemption for his tomcat ways.

Hillary must occasionally wish Bill was capable of keeping his mouth shut.

Younger women to be specific.

The speeches put money in his pocket that he can spend to buy himself awards and honors. This is another way liberals fake achievement to give their lives meaning.

For instance, Clinton who is known for his cheating on the golf course and his general disrespect for the game recently used his front foundation to donate a pile of cash to charities sponsored by the PGA of America.

In return they gave him their 2014 Distinguished Service Award that put him in the company of past honorees Bob Hope, Byron Nelson, Arnold Palmer, Patty Berg, Jack Nicklaus, and Presidents Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush. Thus, a man of no moral inclination becomes a role model to people by using a game based on honor and respect.
