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."

The Youtube video was 0bama’s idea? So how does Hillary explain the Tweets from the Cairo embassy apologizing for the video 12+ hours before Benghazi was attacked?
They can spin this any way they want, but this harping on her/Bill’s wealth is not going to go over well with the cadres brought up on envy and redistribution.
It is well known that she has a Swiss account but it is forbidden to comment on it. That is where the Chinese dumped the payments for Bill’s gift of US military tech secrets.
Please send me your check book Hill and I will send you mine. Because I want to share your pain and help you feel better.
I’m starting to think this is the Achilles Heel if she runs....she can’t seem to come up with a credible position about being one of the 1%, and that ain’t good (for her...)
I wonder where the checks for $5000 each given to al gore by the Chinese military for the Clinton campaign at the Buddhist temple in Rowland heights ca went.
Gore later exclaimed he didn’t know what was in the envelopes.
Then why take on the burden of campaigning and winning the White House brass ring?
There's only one answer....POWER!!!
POWER is the one thing commies, socialists, liberals, marxists, fascists and greenies crave the most and will do anything to obtain...as history proves over and over again.
Yes, accruing even more wealth is an added stimulus, but wealth almost always follows power.
Billary combines all of the above "isms".....POWER is their driving impetus, to control other peoples' lives AND their deaths.....and to feel they are "changing history".
Both Clintons are long-time, power-hungry, obsessive psychos. If she's elected president, the White House will become the Bates Motel. The current occupant already has control over our lives and deaths through ObamaKare, ruinous economics, even the effect of alien immigration. And he's not yet even near the stage of being found mummified in a rocking chair in the Oval Office....obviously there's more to come from him.
So don't laugh at my postulations. We're already in the preamble to the dictatorship twilight zone, though the low-information zombies don't even know it. The Clintons want to seal any escape hatches permanently if they are able to seize the keys to the kingdom.

How’s the new book doing, Broomhilda?
Maybe the envlopes held gift certs for massages.
Phone numbers for billy boy
She dint do any hard work.
Remember how the press and liberals laughed at Bush Sr. when he didn’t know about the auto checkout machine at the grocery store. They said he was “out of touch” with average Americans.
Hillary’s gaffe about being poor and not truly well off tops that by about 100,000,000 times.
Who at the Cairo embassy was apologizing? Wasn’t there actually a small protest or something that had to do with the video? Maybe Obama decided to blame the video because it turned out to be a convenient excuse.
Hillary’s story sounds suspicious however. Are we supposed to think she’s some sort of hero for protecting her fellow rats by knowingly lying to us ?
An empty soul. No matter how much she has, she still wants more and is envious of the people that have more. No wonder she’s always so cranky.
Who is in charge of embassies?
US Embassy in Cairo quietly deletes its we stand by our condemnation tweet; Update: More deleted tweets!This morning's condemnation (issued before protest began) still stands. As does our condemnation of unjustified breach of the Embassy

Wasnt there actually a small protest or something that had to do with the video?
There was a very large protest at the Cairo embassy where protesters actually breached the walls and the Marine guard was at the ready to start shooting.
The protests and attack in Cairo (or anywhere in the world) weren't about that stupid 'video' either.
Brian Lilley: The MSM is lying about the muslim riots
Interviews on the streets of Cairo. 'Video' had nothing to do with protests and attack.
"Blame it on the Video" was a Fraud for the Cairo Rioting, Too
Through dint of hard work.
And lots of good old-fashioned corruption, money laundering, extortion and theft.
Don’t forget, they donated their used underwear to charity.
And that is a gift that keeps on giving, as the DNA therein can solve a bunch of unsolved Arkansas sexual assault cases from the 1970s.
