Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was forced to explain and recast what she meant when she complained of her familys financial struggles after leaving the White House.
The subject was broached on ABCs Good Morning America, when host Robin Roberts asked Mrs. Clinton if she could understand Americas head-scratching reaction to her claim that the Clintons were dead broke upon leaving the White House and needed to hit the lucative speaking circuit to build their bank accounts.
Yes I can, but everything in life has to be put into context, she said, The Hill reported. As I recall, we were something like $12 million in debt.
Mrs. Clinton then recalled how her husband, former President Bill Clinton, had been born into poverty and had to work hard for his money and career advancements, all the while paying off student loans, The Hill reported.
We understand what that struggle is because we had student debts both of us we had to pay off, we had to work, I had a couple jobs in law school, he had lots of jobs, Mrs. Clinton told ABC. We have a life experience clearly different in very dramatic ways from every American, but we also have gone through a lot of the same challenges as many people have.
On Monday night, to ABC News, she said: We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt. We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelseas education. You know, it was not easy.
Her speaking fees sometimes hit the $200,000 level, while Bill Clinton routinely pockets $500,000 per 45-minute pep talk.

Her fiction book is already being discounted..hasn’t even been on the shelves for 24 hours, and already discounted. LOL!
Like Eric Cantor campaigning as `Tough On Immigration!”
Uniparty/Inner Party members say outrageous things, then when challenged: “Oh that. What I *meant* to say was ... “.
And you no doubt spoke about something more relevant then "20 things you can do with a cigar".
The New York Times back then reported their assets being put in a blind trust from between .6 to 1.2 million. That is not broke to most people especially in 1993.
A load of malarky. This singularly disgusting person wouldnt know the truth if it bit her in the ass.
For 99% of the speeches of pols and associated hacks, is there anything really worth hearing from them?
Oh yeah, Senator Hugh Rodham's daughter must have had it tough.
Are u downwind from em?
depends on the weather....
She was just pissed that the chicoms quit sending her and Bubba cash for missile guidance and rocketry technology, among other things.
“Let them eat.....oh what difference does it make anyway?”
VA Gov Terry McAuliffe bought Bill & Hill a home for something LIKE $1.75 million per Byron York
Don’t forget the Library slush Fund and $1 million Pardon
I challenge the student debt stuff. Her Father was a Millionaire and I doubt she had any student debt. Bill had a free ride everywhere he went on grants and scholarships, etc.. So that part is an out and out lie just like everything that comes out of their mouths.
They had plenty of people fronting money to them, Terry Macauliffe for one, they had no trouble buying homes or anything else. Lord in his first year Clinton pulled in millions speaking. Lies, Lies and more Damn Lies!!!!!!
Lies, Lies and more Damn Lies!!!!!!
Title of the Defender of Benghazi’s next book
Not to mention that I think they found a way to stick the Government for some if not a lot of that legal debt.
Let’s hear if for the “Smartest Woman in the World”, ladies and gentlemen.
When Bill and Hillary moved from the White House into their new home, it took two moving vans to move 'their belongings' to the new home. I know Hillary begged for people to give her china and other items, but there were reports at the time of furniture being taken from the White House and the National Archives.
How else do you fill up two moving vans with nonexistent furniture?
I can’t wait until she shares with us her 1st Visit to Bills Office in Harlem where she remembers popping out of Limo and have to Zig Zag running up to the entrance while hearing the gunfire & Police sirens in an URBAN symphony ...Thinking WELCOME to HARLEM.. I was so moved..
Then upstairs we packed my Louis Vuitton full of the Cash from our Library donation campaign..then how to wash it into our assets..
Good post.
Friends of Bill ante’d up a sh!tload of dough for the Clinton Legal Defense Fund, also.
