Hillary Clinton in negotiations for Barack Obama to help pay off her debts
Posted by Toby Harnden on 02 Jun 2008 at 22:28
Negotiations are understood to be taking place between the Obama and Clinton campaigns about the Illinois senator helping to repay some of the massive debt incurred by his rival. One of Hillary Clinton’s donors said that the former First Lady’s campaign was as much as $40 million in the red.
In a conference call with major donors this afternoon, contributors were told by Harold Ickes, a senior Clinton adviser, that she was unlikely to pull out of the race until the issue of her massive debts was resolved. The New York senator has lent her own campaign at least $11.5 million.
One source close to a major donor said: “It’s not about the vice-presidency or any other position she might get. It’s about the money – in particular the Clinton family money.” The Obama campaign might have to reach deeply into its well-stocked coffers in order to secure the full support of Mrs Clinton and her husband Bill in the November general election.
But in a sign that Mr Obama believes a deal can be struck, he said at an event in Troy, Michigan: “Mrs Clinton has run an outstanding campaign and she is an outstanding public servant. And she and I will be working together in November.”
Run back to men to pay their bills??
This is a woman who registered like a bride for household items so her “friends” could buy her stuff when she left the White House - not to mention the stuff she tried to steal. Personally I’d have figured that was way too humiliating.
That being said - I read somewhere that it isn’t all that unusual for the winner to help the loser pay campaign debts.
She is not a strong woman, she is a feminist. Feminists do what every other extremist does... whatever she has to in order to see the extremist position furthered, regardless of truths squandered along the way.
Unlax, folks. You’re right that she has no
shame, but this is a customary thing for
political candidates who are facing the big
zero—to go to the frontrunner and request
help with the debts. This is a clear signal
that she is going to drop out. The frontrunner
usually has beaucoup dollars and the runner up
has zilch cash.
God forbid she would take it out of her own bank account and pay it back. If she would have quit a long time ago, she wouldn’t be in such debt.
Why is this a surprise? Glenn Beck said a month ago that the only reason she was staying in it was because the Clintons didn’t want to absorb that debt.
LOL!
In the past few months we have heard about secret “negotiations” to give Hillary the majority leader position with Reid accepting a cabinet post; or give Hillary a position on the Supreme Court; give Hillary the VP spot; or give Hillary a position as the Health Care Queen in the Obama admin......if only she will concede and drop out of the race. Well she is still going and still winning, and will likely win big in SD. Its all wishful thinking amongst the moonbats and the moonbat press. Hillary is going all the way to the Hamptons!
It’s always about “Show Me The Money” with those two Slicksters.
Think of all the Lincoln Bedroom rentals she is relinqishing. Barack can easily afford to pay up and retrieve his expenses later.
Then there’s the pay-per-seat business trips to Communist China. Dubai. The United Arab Emirates. India. . . .
Barack will easily come out well ahead on the deal.
Hillary and Bill are both prostitutes ... why shouldn’t Obama pimp them out?
Sorry...not 40-MILLION DOLLARS!!!
1) CASH!
2) CASH!
3) CASH!
4) CASH!
5) CASH!
Afterwards:
6) Position of power from which to draw cash.
7) An apartment for Bill. She needs Chappaqua for her lady visitors.
8) A wet bar installed at Chappaqua due to her new habit.
In all honesty, it is not unusual for the winner to help losers pay off campaign debts. But there is a certain chutzpah (sp?) about it with Hillary, in that, a huge amount of her official campaign debt is money she loaned to her campaign. So, the Obama campaign will give money to the Clinton campaign, and the Clinton campaign turns around and pays campaign expenses, including the loan from Hillary. Hillary personally will get paid many millions if this is what happens.
The Clinton family money ... bah, it’s ill-gotten gain and they’re making it sound like they sweated for every penny. What a laugh.
Basically, “pay me and I will go away.”
And this crooked woman thinks that she can manage the 3 trillion dollar National budget?
Not to mention the fact that most elite members of the Democratic Party are infamous for stiffing the public.
She'll probably pocket any money Obamassiah gives her.
Thanks to Operation Chaos, if this deal goes through, the Obama-nation has to pay for the attack adds that H Clinton ran against him.
Thanks Rush!
