Mike, this can’t be correct.
We all know that the Clintons are the heroes and protectors of the poor, women, children, minorities and illegal aliens in America.
The Clintoons would never accept money from elite rich millionaires or billionaires.
This has to be Bush’s fault. He probably raised the money secretly and had his non profits donate the money to the Clintoon Foundation.
$acra$m is now off!:)
Is there any New York Times byline the campaign fears more than Don Van Natta? Well, there’s one today (although it probably goes down easier since the paper also front-pages the Obama “present” story today). “The New York Times has compiled the first comprehensive list of 97 donors who gave or pledged a total of $69 million for the Clinton presidential library in the final years of the Clinton administration. The examination found that while some $1 million contributors were longtime Clinton friends, others were seeking policy changes from the administration. Two pledged $1 million each while they or their companies were under investigation by the Justice Department.”
“Other donations came from supporters who had been ensnared in campaign finance scandals surrounding Mr. Clinton’s 1996 re-election campaign. In raising record sums for her campaign, Mrs. Clinton has tapped many of the foundation’s donors. At least two dozen have become ‘Hillraisers,’ each bundling $100,000 or more for her presidential bid. The early library donors, combined with their families and political action committees, have contributed at least $784,000 to Mrs. Clinton’s Senate and presidential coffers.”
More: “As the scope of the foundation expanded from the Clinton library into issues like treating AIDS in the developing world and addressing global poverty and climate change, and Mrs. Clinton moved closer to announcing her candidacy, the pace of giving quickened. Last year, contributions reached $135 million, a 70 percent increase over the previous year. Two-thirds came from just 11 donors.”
Don’t cry for me… “Clinton twice wiped her eye at a campaign event in Elkader after getting an emotional introduction by Joe Ward, a constituent. She helped get his insurance company to cover a costly bone-marrow transplant for his son,” the New York Post writes. “No way,” though was the response from Howard Wolfson, Clinton’s spokesman on whether or not Clinton cried.
Here’s one of those campaign promises that would have gotten Al Gore in trouble in 2000. “Clinton predicted that when she mentions in her inaugural address, ‘particularly the oil-producing countries, “We’re not going to be taken for a ride any longer. We’re going to stand up and say enough,” ... when I say that, those countries will know because they follow our elections, they follow what we do in our politics as closely as we do, they’ll know that I always try to do what I say.’” Clinton predicted those words would cause the price of oil to suddenly drop, to $60 or $70 a barrel.
