What makes them think that anyone who donated to Obamas election campaign would want to donate money to the Save Hilary Fund?

Gee, is she now a registered charity or something?
Are all donations tax deductable?

Unbelievable.

Excellent political move by Obama....

he holds out Hillary for Sec of State....
knowing she will be nullified by statute
and not confirmed by Congress unless 'extraordinary' measures are taken


so, Obama has shown the PTB he is willing to offer Hillary a position
But, in the end... his hands are tied. And he will be happy to return the Senator to her NY constituency

will Obama make his cabinet & administration reflect the population demographics,

if so, might we expect Colin Powell as the next nominee for the SecOfState ?

Perhaps she can sell popcorn from a table outside my grocery store. Sorry boy scouts, Hilary needs money pronto. Better yet, she can bump off the bell ringers and solicit for Hilary's Army.

I haven't been this pissed off and insulted by a politician in a long time. America's companies are laying people off by the thousands just in time for Christmas with more layoffs looming in January and she needs your help.

It is going take one hell of a steak to heal the black eye that she is about to receive. This doesn't bode well for Obama either. They have about 6 weeks to squirrel away as much dough as they can before she takes the oath.

This isnt about money obviously,some political strategy to whos benefit who knows...but the clintons aint in debt lol they are worth a fortune...

Kerry and Edwards didn't get picked for any reindeer games. Perhaps they are just waiting in the wings for their call to action. This whole appointment game does have quite the stink hanging from it. Who will be the thimble and who will be the race car?

While Obama has every right to ASK for this money, I was put off by the request. I'm not giving her any money. If she didn't have the money to spend, she shouldn't have "borrowed" from herself - if she couldn't pay it back.

Here's how I answered the email:

Dear Vice President elect Biden,

I fully support you and Barack Obama and I wish you all success. However, Bill Clinton gets more money for giving a 20-minute speech than I will see in 5 years. So, no. I have no interest in helping pay off Hillary's campaign debt. I'm sorry.

I'm frankly somewhat put-off by this request because it indicates to me that, to a certain degree, you guys don't "get it". I am a member of the regular working class of this country, and for members of the economic elite class to ask me for money for a wealthy person's debt just doesn't sit right with me at all.

I freely contributed to Barack Obama's campaign several times and his administration has my full support. However I do not consider it appropriate for me to work to pay off a debt that was incurred by someone (a very wealthy someone) campaigning in opposition to Obama.

Respectfully,

I expect to disagree with some of the moves Obama makes over the years and I will not hesitate to let him know (as I did with the bailout vote).

So that's how to get around further spreading of the wealth... Nice strategy!

First, all Obama has to do to make the Sec. of State position legit for Hillary is reduce the salary of the position to match the senate position she currently holds. Bush was the one that raised the salary for cabinet members through an executive order, and Obama can undo it just as quickly.

Second, Colin Powell has already stated that he is not interested in serving on the Obama cabinet. He endorsed the guy to clear out the current administration, but he still wants no part of Washington politics, which should tell you that even he knows the two party system is as corrupt as they come.

The way Obama pulled in money, he should start taking donations to pay down the national debt...I bet he could do it in 8 years with the way he pulled in money, no need to raise taxes, that man could get a hobo to give him a dollar.

Text Black Hillary has a net worth of about 35Million Dollars she can well afford to pay off her own debt , Obama should tell his fianacial backer to donate that monet to the needy and unemployed , they forget who signed NAFTA her husband BILLY BOY .and if he were the head of a major corp . or Church he would have been made to step down which

Er does anyone remember how much money they said the clintons had last Tax cycle? 100+ Million, she ran the primaries about 3 months longer than they had to be(it was a statistical improbability she'd win, she would had to win 55%+ in every state which wasn't happening and everytime it didn't that number got higher). I think Bill can bay the bills. =p
