Obama, Zuckerberg back out of scandal-plagued foundation gala
Washington Examiner ^ | September 27, 2015 | Ariel Cohen

While many donors and political figures will attend the annual Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) gala tonight, many prominent figures, like President Obama, Arianna Huffington, Elton John and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg have reportedly passed up the event in favor of other activities.

The $2 billion affair in New York City titled "The Future of Impact" was intended to attract a star-studded guest list and celebrate the accomplishments of Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton. But instead the event appears to be representative of the respect the Clintons have lost this past year, as Hillary faces questioning about her private email server and the former president may have to step down from his role with CGI.

As long as you're not doing anything more important ... like watching grass grow or paint dry ...

could this be the beginning of the end for the Clinton fund raising money machine??????

Good liberals don’t want to be seen with the Clintons; don’t want to give money to this allegedly wonderful charity of theirs?????

Yes, maybe a class on server maintenance to be taught by Jim and John while they’re there.

The only reason anyone paid the Clinton’s one red cent for a speech is because their “investment” would be returned exponentially.

Now that there’s a real chance none of them will have any power, why run the risk?

They're real good when it comes to fixing computers ... but not that good!

Hillary wrote a lot of checks with her hippopotamus mouth that her hippopotamus ass can’t cash. There is not going to be any return on investment for the many suckers who invested in the Clinton Grift and Grab foundation. They’re no longer the most popular couple on campus.

Yes, this is an interesting development.
Obama & co. have been running a campaign to sabotage Hilary, and its come to this.

“The Future of Impact”, sounds like a direct/indirect artillery symposium. Seems fitting. The return fire will be devastating, regardless.

There was a similar article yesterday on Free Republic about the notables who stayed away from the Grifter Gala. Bill knows it’s over, but Hillary and a her groupies won’t admit reality. If my guess is right, donations to her campaign and their foundation are going to drop to a trickle. She, Bill, and Chelsea need to count their money, and their blessings that they won’t be prosecuted, and fade from public view. If they’re smart.
