Hillary Clinton's multimillion dollar fortune has caused some negative headlines during the media tour for the release of her new book "Hard Choices," which is widely seen as a prelude to a potential 2016 presidential campaign. Clinton responded to criticism of her wealth in an interview with the Guardian newspaper published Saturday night by suggesting Americans won't be concerned about the more than $100 million her family has reportedly earned in recent years because they're not "truly well off."
"They don't see me as part of the problem," Clinton said of Americans who are upset about income inequality, adding, "Because we pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off, not to name names; and we've done it through dint of hard work."

She probably discounts her vast wealth because she did nothing to earn it.

She discounts her vast wealth because, like all Leftists, she believes the rules only apply to other people.

“Americans” are stupid and can be easily bull****ted, right Hillary. After six years of the Kenyan, I tend to agree with you.

There is no such thing as cow tipping.
But with Her Cankleness The Flying Buttress, all things are possible.
Her new book is flying off the shelves. Right into the bargain bin.

I personally believe it’s well over several billion.
Clinton had over 4 years for his buddy Marc Rich to play the oil futures market for him and no way of loosing because of the Oil for Food Program.

With emphasis on the filthy.

So now apparently it's reported that Hillary was disgusted when Obama told her to blame Benghazi on the video. Apparently she initially refused. Supposedly she considered resigning over this but that would have probably ruined zero's re-election chances and her fellow rats would never forgive her so she went along with lying to the country to get a lying rat re-elected.
If they thought this would make her look good I think it might be a BIG backfire.
I'd have had a smidgen of respect for her if she had resigned.
