Obama to Pay for Party UnityPosted on Jun 25, 2008
Barack Obama is reaching out to Hillary Clinton’s pocketbook, asking his finance team to help pay off at least $10 million of the debt Clinton accrued during her primary bid. The move comes after an announcement that Camp Obama had raised $287 million by the end of May and declined public funding of his campaign.

Ain’t it wonderful? Who is beholden to whom? If Obama pays off Clinton’s debt, then she owes HIM big-time, and she has to pay that off by helping get him elected.
FREE ENTERPRISE AT WORK! Who cares, as long as we get the Re-thug-licken’s out!

Felicity,
Nope…the Clinton’s have no shame, but then, we’ve known that for a really long time. This is a repeat of what they did when they were in the White House, and had all those millions of dollars in legal fees. I can’t remember now, exactly WHO paid those off for them, (or if they were even paid). Might be worth an ‘investigative rehash from the past’ if there weren’t so many other things far more urgent to deal with right now.
Meantime, I see troublesum bert is still on her anti-Obama hate campaign. Now she’s claiming he’s responsible for ‘destroying public financing’. Another perverted joke that if it weren’t so sad, one could actually laugh.

I will say this is a first being asked to pay a $10 million debt of a person worth $100 million and counting. Have you no shame, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton.

Well, call me a country bumpkin, sure thought that people ran for office with their own money, borrowed, political charity or what. So with someone(s) that made 100million$ last year or became worth 100million$ why subsidize that? Are these crooks not allowed to loose money in an effort to get elected. In the long run I feel some how the taxpayer will reimberse hillbillyhillary for her presidential lark.
Report thisPolitics smell worse that a dead animal the size of a horse on the side of the road in the summer. There must be a veryvery secret satilite station for the ‘elites’ that plays all the gimmicks and scams and flimflams these sorry ass people play on the masses making them howl with laughter and high 5 each other for the coolness of it all.
