20 million

This really bothers me, I need to beat this horse one more time. Hillary's own decisions cause her to go twenty million in debt and hurts her own party, and she is then asking the American citizens to bail her out. :?

Thank god she doesn't have a chance at controling America's budgit!

Her net worth is around $100 million, how about she helps me with my student loans!

That man has no shame!


some idiot in the comments wrote:The American people shouldn't have to shoulder the burden of Sen. Clinton being stubborn and staying in the race long after she could afford to. I will donate but I really wish politicians, the world for that matter, would stopping looking at Americans as if we're a wallet,...
What a fool. It's scary people out there are like this. Burned once, now she willingly is going to get burned again, all the time wondering why politicians think we're walking wallets? She needs a slap with the WTF-stick...

edit: holy hell, what is wrong with people?!

It's a shame people don't send money to the people who really deserve it.

Actually, whenever the press talks about campaign contributions, I'm just astounded that some people would actually cut a $200 check to someone like Obama or McCain. They don't need your money. Save it for a rainy day instead of tossing it into the abyss.

Sen. Barack Obama has asked top contributors to help his former rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Hillary Clinton, retire her debt, an Obama campaign source said Tuesday.
Come on Obama, don't let personal acountability be a republican thing....

Again & again, foot in mouth, Obama would be better off if he and his campaign just shut the hell up until election day.

No kidding! He has a golden opportunity to step up and exhibit the change he so often talks about and he is letting it slip away. Pity.

Ummm...why doesn't Hillarys husband help pay her debt?
On wait...why use your own wealth when you can find some schlepp to pay it off for you. Like the PT Barnum saying goes, \"There's a sucker born every minute.\"

Can I donate to Daktatsu so he can make more of those nifty names for quotes?

Sometimes I wish I had an extra $200 period.

Hillary's husband cannot pay off her campaign loans for her ... it's against current campaign finance laws ... same goes for her just writing off the money as a \"loss\" (it was her own money that she loaned to her campaign) ... because she is required to pay off the \"loans\" ... or else (don't know what the \"or else\" would be).

Also, she can't take a lump of her own money to pay off her own loan ... because that would be a campaign donation and it would be much bigger than what she is allowed (by law) to donate to her campaign ... therefore the money has to come from somewhere else.

To sum up ... she is allowed to loan to her campaign in large amounts ... but it has to get paid off somehow ... and she only has a limited time to get it paid off ... and cannot make that large of a \"donation\" by law ...

Sucks to be her (publicly) at present ... because of her own self-serving choices that now have to be burdened by others, or else she has to deal with public debt humiliation ... while she has millions of her own money on hand. :twisted:

I think this shows why she wasn't a good choice for President (or VP for that matter) IMHO.

Like the rest of us, if we run up a bunch of charges and then don't pay them we go to jail...
