Hillary Clinton on Tuesday tried to clear up the fallout from a comment she made about her family being “dead broke” after leaving the White House in 2001 – a remark that opened her up to charges of being out of touch with ordinary Americans.
“Let me just clarify that I fully appreciate how hard life is for so many Americans today,” the former secretary of state said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” She said she and husband Bill Clinton were “obviously blessed” but it was “just a reality what we faced when he got out of the White House meant that we just had to keep working really hard.” She said she recalled being about $12 million in debt.

I guess she figured out she spewed some spontaneous BS lie equivalent to her being named for Edmund Hillary, or when she had to “duck for cover” in Bosnia-wherever.....
Sometimes, even your leeches don’t believe you.
Overthehillary does not know what hard work is....
Okay everyone, let's all have a pity party! 1... 2... 3...
C'mon...
...anybody?
[snerk!]
What exactly does ‘dead-broke’ mean in today’s language?
When I grew up in the 1970s...it meant you didn’t have enough money to buy steaks.....so you ate mostly chicken. When I was in the Air Force...dead-broke meant you got only really cheap beer the weekend before pay-day. Today? When I say I’m dead broke...it means I don’t have enough loot to buy Yankees tickets, but I can go to Florida for two weeks and watch them on cable TV.
Dead Brokeback
They sold their plane and had to buy into an executive plane-sharing pool.
They had to switch from jamon iberico to pancetta.
Yeah, Hillary may have been dead broke upon leaving the White House, but those in Benghazi are just plain dead!
No PIAPS, being showered by Satan with power and wealth is not being “blessed”
They didn't leave the White House either dead broke or having to work really hard -- except maybe working really hard at cashing in their IOUs from their wheeling and dealing.
THANK YOU KELLY FILE Megyn ran a news clip of Hilly sing-songing "the cancer of inequality"....in a contrived sap-happy, chirpy voice, wearing a h-u-g-e phony grin.
Reminded me of the classic Willam Castle horror movie, "Mr Sardonicus," (whose face becomes frozen in a horrifying grin while robbing the coffin of his father's grave).
Hillary wears her perpetual 2016 game face.
Anyone remember the footage from the big post-departure rally at Andrews Air Force Base on inauguration day 2001? Where Bill went on about how “we aren’t going anywhere” ...?
It’s not like the Clintons actually wanted to escape the public limelight following their departure from the White House. Far from it ...
Let’s see: back in 1994 she was bragging about making $100,000 on a $1,000 investment in cattle futures thanks to some helpful investing tips. All Ms. Wizard had to do was start investing again, right?
“Poke Salad Hillary”
To us, “dead broke” is not being able to afford hamburger at almost $5/lb., so we eat grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner. Ask some retirees you know how they are doing after scrimping and saving all their lives.
Nonsense. She’s just a victim of a right wing conspiracy. /sarc
Now we hear he got a hundred million dollars while his wife controlled the State Dept checkbook......monies that were meant for Haiti (the place where the Clintons spent their honeymoon).
BETTER ADD THIS IN, TOO News reports say the State Department announced it has "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors..... a special “management alert” warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.
Becoming president has a pretty good monetary return. That poor boy from Hope, Ark, made over $200,000,000.00 (that we know of) as a “public servant.”
=============================================
Lawyers Bill and Hillary have held no other jobs but “public service”---they didn't have a pot to *** in in Arkansas---didn't even own a home. But they are experts at gaming the "public service" system for themselves. The Clintons conniving has enriched them. They are now worth more than $100 million dollars.....and counting.
How did they make the money? In several ways.
(1) Bill's calculated moves w/ his presidential pen and official policies profited numerous cronies and entities.....who are now being hit up for donations to the /three Clinton tax-exempt "foundations.....and to enrich Hillary.
(2) Bill's pardon pen was useful in pardoning diverse voting blocs which got Hillary elected to the US Senate as a prelude to her presidential ambitions.
(3) The Clintons game the system 24/7....their only goal in politics is to control the money.
