Sorry, the wife of a former president doesn’t struggle to get a mortgage. She doesn’t struggle to get anything. I emphatically state “BS”.
Their credit score must suck.
Terry McAuliffe secured their entire mortgage up front with profits made from insider trading with Global Crossing stock.
Thank goodness Chelsea was old enough to co-sign for them.
Please, let there be a GMA segment in the next two years where Hillary and Michelle swap war stories about hard it was to make ends meet when they were only making a few hundred thousand dollars a year.
That's what happens when you've never had to pay for anything out of your own pocket. When you're a leech, you don't need to establish credit.
And THIS just might be the most troubling line for all who read the interview.
"persecution"?
Was she not paying attention during the Reagan and both Bush presidencies? Those fine men were constantly under (verbal) fire, and none ever whined about "relentless persecution".
Mrs. Clinton, one suspects, is a true score-settler.
If elected, would she see GOPers as bad and evil people who must be gotten even with?
Recalling her "vast rightwing conspiracy" statement, one worries if Mrs. Clinton might be dwelling a bit too much on possibly imaginary "persecution" (I would love to be wrong here, and freely yield to any psych expert to set this worry straight.)

I may remember wrong, but during the 1992 campaign I remember the media treating Quayle as the rich kid, but when the two tickets released their personal financial statements, that he was the only one who was not a millionaire of the 4, (HW, Clinton, and Gore and Quayle).
At one point we also learned that Bill’s modest $35,000 salary as governor, was supplemented by $35,000.00 annual cash that the legislature gave him, for his personal management, that I remember as amounting to a hidden salary.

“Mrs. Clinton’s career has produced most of the family’s wealth. She is not required to disclose her income, and Mrs. Clinton would not answer questions on the subject. But press reports in Arkansas, based on the Clintons’ tax returns, said her law firm salary for 1989 was $92,000. The couple’s net worth is between $350,000 and $1 million, according to Mr. Clinton’s report to the Federal Election Commission, which requires only that assets and liabilities be listed in ranges.

Their holdings include bank accounts, bonds, mutual funds and investment partnerships. The largest asset is Mrs. Clinton’s share of her firm’s profit sharing and retirment plan, valued between $100,001 and $250,000.”

If they struggled to get a mortgage, then was she a bad credit risk? If so, then she shouldn’t be president because she can’t even manage her personal finances.
Her buddy, Senator Chris Dodd, probably got her a sweetheart deal with Countrywide.
That’s right, keep on talking...
LOL! Stop digging, Hillary!
Love it.
The Clinton’s hadn’t yet left the White House.
In Sept. 1999, Terry McAuliffe put up 1.35 million cash to secure a mortgage for the Clintons.
The Clinton’s part of the deal ?
The Clintons will put up $350,000 and pay an adjustable-rate mortgage set at one point over the London Interbank Offered Rate, a bank lending rate that is now 5.52 percent. The loan is “interest-only,” meaning the Clintons pay only interest on the loan but do not reduce the principal during the five-year term.
Where did they get the 350k downstroke if they were so poor ?
