Prominent Clinton backer Lynn Forester told The Times of London quote, "He has provided her with a pittance compared to what the Clintons have given Obama. Her debt could have been cleared within 10 days. It's ungracious."

And he never....will....

I'll reserve judgment until after the election. If McCain wins, she's in the dem catbird “I told you so seat.” Who else do they have? Edwards screwed himself out of the spot.

If Bill Clinton had any guts, he’d go slap the little Salvadoran Stink Weasel around a little bit and force him into conducting on fundraiser on his “website” to help Hillary retire her debt.

I read the article in Atlantic about her campaign. She wasted her money with a long series of bad, ill advised decisions and even worse, non-decisions. She then unloaded big-time on staff when she ran out.

She had to use her own money just to save face towards the end.

It was easy to see how Washington types burn through cash. They learn how in campaigns and figure they can always go back to well.

Her options for raising money are dwindling. She's lost the old Hollywood supporters. She could write a book about her failed campaign, but it probably wouldn't sell well unless it contained some salacious details. Bill probably won't be getting any more lucrative corporate contracts after the InfoGroup debacle.

The easiest way for her to get some money would be to divorce her husband and divide his assets.

Did anyone think Barry would keep his word?

"Edwards screwed himself out of the spot."

Hee, hee! That would be literally true!

This isn't fair to Obama.

Hillary is number three on the list and will get her money right after Obama takes care of these items:

Barack Obama's broken promise to African village

In 2006 he promised financial assistance to the school in Kogelo, Kenya which they renamed the "Senator Obama Kogelo Secondary School". They are still waiting for his promised assistance.

Barack Obama's brother George an impoverished recluse

"US presidential contender Barack Obama's African half-brother says he is "ashamed" of his family ties because he lives as an impoverished recluse in a Kenyan shantytown.

He said he was embarrassed that he lived "on less than a dollar a month" and never mentioned his world-famous half-brother.

If anyone says something about my surname, I say we are not related. I am ashamed," he told the magazine. "I live like a recluse. No one knows I exist."

Obama’s pride and questionable treatment of women will harm him. It already has. He is a fool if he doesn’t help them, if only to make more of her supporters happy. Look at how McCain reahed out to conservatives- by choosing Palin. How has Obama reahed out to the white blue collar supporters of Hillary? Joe Biden? Just because the guy was born in Scranton? Foolish pride is not a character trait for a winning candidacy or successful Presidency.

Excellent post.
