VIDEO Hillary Clinton: "We Came Out Of The White House Dead Broke"
realclearpolitics.com ^ | 6/9/14

Posted on 06/09/2014 6:54:59 AM PDT by Liz

DIANE SAWYER, ABC NEWS: It's been reported you've made $5 million making speeches, the president's made more than $100 million.

HILLARY CLINTON: Well, if you -- you have no reason to remember, but we came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt. We had no money when we got there and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea's education, you know, it was not easy. Bill has worked really hard .... we had to pay off all our debts which was, you know, we had to make double the money because of obviously taxes....and get us houses and take care of family members.

SAWYER: ...do you think Americans will understand five times the median income for one speech?

CLINTON: ....I thought making speeches was a much better thing than getting connected with any one group or company as so many people who leave public life do.

take care of family members.

Who would that be? Chelsea?

The useful idiots won't care. They ONLY care if it is some executive (you know a guy who actually works and has the grey hairs to prove it) makes one dollar more than them.

Politicians, the Kardashians, Brad and Angie, Will Smith and the rest of their fat mouth fellow travelers can make billions and they couldn't care less.

She would not have had to travel all over making speeches.

It was obvious from the beginning all that travel was wearing her. Hell, just having to show up somewhere and actually do something was too much for her--had she ever done it before in her entire life?

The handlers know she just has to make it through the campaign. Then they can plop her fat ass in that same office Jug Ears sits in all day watching ESPN and roll her out to give a speech once in a while.

Hillary wear her perpetual 2016 game face.

It appears that Dr. Evil's tailor will be busy for the next two years, at least.

The Marc Rich deal, I imagine. Could be Chinese money for nuclear information. Ill begotten, none the less.

Next we will hear Hillary was a poor black child in Arkansas....

Good point. The Clintons need to start rethinking their strategy.....

Because it seems to me they are relying heavily on "white privilege" to get back into office. The Clintons' have benefitted from, and are climbing back into office, using privileges far beyond those of the working class voter. " White privilege" denotes the array of advantages the Clintons have cultivated over years in public office.

These two are shadowed by the perks of "white privilege":

<><> massive wealth....

<><>multiple homes in posh enclaves....

<><> the chain of high public offices....

<><> privileged friends in high places....

<><> global connections....

<><> affirmations of their own worth....

<><> greater social status...

<><>expansive freedoms wealth and connections provide...

<><> unlimited access to the press to speak freely.

Hillary is relying on the "income equality" bugaboo to hoist herself into office This is "white privilege" in a nutshell....the Clintons label others as "different" while presenting themselves as "normal."

Yeah, those people willing to spend 5 million dollars for 37 minutes of Hillary's time aren't expecting to be 'remembered'.... Yep, I was born yesterday...

(Hillary could stand up at most of these venues and say, "quack quack quack' for 37 minutes and she would still be hired by the next group... she's selling future access - NOT the wisdom of her thoughts...)

Of course the low information voter will thrive on these tough life lies.

Those Clinton’s are living the American dream. Rags to riches via government handouts to others. It is impressive that two people who are all about equal everything for everyone can go out and preach that day in and day out like some televangelists and yet end up making millions while the income gap widens.

Vince Foster didn’t do too well coming out of the White House either.

Not dead broke, just wound up dead.

How could anyone believe this talking farm animal. Thery made millions and hid it in the Cayman islands. The rapist and his ilk were involved in all kinds of criminal activities and even had people killed in good ole Arkansas.

Diane Sawyer’s interview with Hillary was not simply an interview, it was opening night for Hillary’s ‘’I’m a 68-year-old Poor Little Rich Girl’’ act, expected to run for two-and-a-half years.

Since everything Hillary says is a lie, and since she’s not known to have a particularly pleasant personality, in order for her to win the presidency she’ll have to be an extremely good performance artist. Otherwise, she won’t be able to meet the minimum level necessary for candidates to endear themselves to voters.

However, it’s clear from her interview with Diane Sawyer that she wasn’t even able to endear herself to Diane Sawyer — Hillary’s fellow liberal and feminist — or Diane Sawyer wouldn’t have asked a question exposing that Hillary is very wealthy — a cardinal sin among Democrats.

REALLY??? Sure would like to question Vince Foster about that.

Rampant rumors when he died were that he was the monthly bagman making trips to Switzerland on behalf of the Clintons.

Why didn’t she go back to trading Cattle futures.

I mean by reading the wall st journal, she parlayed about 5k into 110 k in less than a year.””””

IIRC, it was less than a week. $1000 turned into $100,000.
