full title...‘We came out of the White House dead broke and in debt’: Hillary Clinton defends her $200,000 speaking fees to pay for their houses and Chelsea’s education

Former First Lady Hillary Clinton isn't ashamed of the massive amount of money she and husband Bill Clinton have earned over the last decade through high-paying speaking gigs.

Hitting the speaking circuit was a necessity in order to maintain their lifestyle after Bill's term as the 42nd President of the United States ended, Clinton told ABC's Diane Sawyer in a sit-down interview ahead of the release of her book Hard Choices.

We(the US taxpayer) basically paid their mortgage on their Westchester County home in NY state. If you recall, they charged the US Secret Service $10K rent each month for Bill’s security detail to rent out the guest house on their property. It just so happens, that was their mortgage payment every month on the entire property. So, in a sense, we were paying their mortgage and still probably are.

If she can’t handle a household making $200,000+ a year, what makes anyone think she can handle our money?

That’s what I was looking for...

Couple of mooching grifters. He’s got the self-righteous sense of entitlement, she does the martyrdom schtick. A political Bonnie and Clyde. Probably sit around comparing whose approach works better on any given day: “how dare you!” vs. “you have no idea what I’ve been through..”. God help us. It’s going to be the Jerry Springer Show all over again.

Now where’s that story about those two deducting used underwear donations to charity?

“In June of 2001 Bill got a $12 million advance for his book deal”

Good point. And to think these crooks were running the government.

Must be why she tried to steal the china form the WH when parting so they could have something to eat off of.

Dead broke? Maybe that helps to explain their massive theft of national treasures from the White House on their way out.

Anybody find what Danny Williams is doing these days?

It's not every kid born of a Little Rock prostitute gets to go to European boarding schools. What's he doing and where is he doing it?

Ping to an old article, - w comments.

Thanks, Brown Deer.

We don’t want her to get into more debt so vote against her becoming president.
