Vox: 'Clinton Foundation Was a Kind of Modern Political Machine'
NewsBusters ^ | August 22, 2016 | P.J. Gladnick

Vox and some other liberal outlets seem to have a new shtick going. They know that they can't portray Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation as ethical so they admit that  there was  perhaps a smidgeon of corruption there. Having given ground on that Vox then proclaims that even though there were problems in the past, the promise by Hillary to reform the Clinton Foundation IF she is elected president is a very welcome development. 

Matthew Yglesias of Vox concedes that perhaps there were problems with the Clinton Foundation in the past such as being "kind of a modern political machine."  However, before Yglesias makes his ethics concession, he first rejoices that finally, finally the Clintons have seen the light by promising to reform the Clinton Foundation IF Hillary is elected president.

The Clintons have promised that the Clinton Foundation will be scaled back and run ethically IF Hillary is elected president. Got that? For the Clinton Foundation to be honest you MUST elect Hillary president. The Clinton Foundation is being held hostage: Elect Hillary president or this Foundation will remain corrupt.

The way she promised to keep the foundation separate from her Sos duties? That kind of way?

Liars!

Can you imagine a criminal big enough to offer terms and conditions necessary to entice her to bring her organization’s operations within the law?

The Clintons made promises about ethics and the foundation when she was nominated for SoS. How’d that turn out?

You think obama re-distributed our tax dollars?...just wait if cliton gets in. They already looted the WH and AF-1....with everything she has gotten away with, I wouldn’t be surprised if they take all the paintings and furnishings again and keep them this time.

She will spend money on everything high end she can. I bet they take home AF-1 when her term ends. Edogans palatial estate he built for him from Turkeys money won’t hold a candle to what hillary wild build for herself.

Also her enemies will be dying off in droves. She is so paranoid now with the full on power of fed gov....she will be merciless.

A “MODERN” political machine..?!

Ah, so there’s a very natural progression, huh..?

Primitive, then MODERN. Gosh that’s like sugar to better let the medicine go down.

I’d say a LATIN political machine.

Or an AFRICAN political machine.

I’d even say an OLD political machine over a NEW one.

Best would be a CRIMINAL, UN-AMERICAN political machine.

READY FOR ANOTHER POLITICAL MONEY-MAKING MACHINE?

Boobamba already has two Clintonesque get-rich-quick foundations
(that we know of)....mission statements sounding suspiciously like the Clintons.

===============================================

SOURCE http://www.barackobamafoundation.org/

President Obama said, "the change we seek will take longer than one term or one presidency. "

(TRANSLATION: Me and Michelle want the money pouring in faster than we can spend it.)

" Real change—big change—takes many years and requires each generation to embrace the obligations and opportunities that come with the title of Citizen. "

MISSION STATEMENT: The Obama Foundation will inspire the next generation of young leaders all over the world. It will convene the brightest minds with the newest ideas from across the political spectrum and draw strength from the rich diversity and vitality of Chicago, the city where the President and First Lady started a family and raised their daughters.

But most of all, the Foundation will ask all of us to take on big challenges and to believe that we can meet them together. Our history and President Obama’s legacy give us hope that even the most difficult change is possible, and the Foundation exists to carry on that great, unfinished project of renewal and global progress.”

In form visitors about our civic rights and responsibilities and inspire citizens to get engaged.

Empower individuals who are leading change around the world, and help develop new ways to enable all citizens to take action.

Connect people from different communities and disciplines to create new approaches to solving our biggest challenges.

Translate new ideas into concrete actions that will have a measurable impact, enlisting partners across all sectors to scale what works.”

Vox: 'Clinton Foundation Was a Kind of Modern Political Machine'

Newsflash for Vox - Corrupt politicians taking bribes and kickbacks is not "modern"; it has been around as long as politicians.
