ABC News has learned that on a conference call with his national finance team this afternoon, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, asked his top contributors to help Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, retire her more than $10 million in outstanding vendor debt. He did not specify an amount.
Clinton's debt has been a major point of contention as the two former rivals attempt to reconcile.
Clinton will appear at an Obama fundraiser Thursday night in Washington, D.C., and the two will campaign together in Unity, NH, on Friday.

Bill can do another consulting and lobbying job for the Ukraine and pay it off real quick. So what’s the problem?

I guess it would be too much to ask DemocRATs to pay their own bills. They ALWAYS want someone else to pay them. Typical.

Maybe Rush Limabaugh and our fellow “Operation Chaos” FReepers can help pay her debt. They all fought really hard to get her nominated.
To: Sleeping Freeper
So Obambi is saying , “ I'll do something for you , if you give money to her , to prevent her from doing something to me .”

Hillary would only qualify for Chapter 13, assuming she earned more than the median income for New York state (About $49,000, I believe). The best she would be able to hope for is 20 cents on the dollar.
