Hillary’s presidential chances threatened by her own blundering (Clintons cash-in bigtime)

....victory eluded Hillary in 2008...now her 2016 run is marked by mistakes, gaffes and reports of ethical corner-cutting.

Once viewed as a smart, passionate woman whose brilliance would shine when she was liberated, she is, at 67, getting long in the tooth to be talked of in terms of "potential." After 25 years in the circus, she’s still a celebrity guest, not a star performer. Instead she’s running the Rose Garden strategy of a favored incumbent. She’s still giving paid speeches, believing she can float above it all like a giant balloon in the Thanksgiving Day parade....she sees herself as president-in-waiting w/ a reported 200 advisers, suggesting she’s staffing an administration.

....but any more revelations about the Clinton Foundation’s sleazy fund-raising could change her mind. The Clinton foundation accepted millions from foreign governments while Hillary was America’s top diplomat, The Washington Post said one gift of $500,000 from Algeria violated loose ethics rules drawn up by the Obama administration to separate her duties from the foundation.

WSJ found a suspicious pattern of corporate giving. GE, Exxon Mobil, Microsoft and Boeing were among 60 companies that lobbied her State Dept during and donated a combined $26 million to the Clinton family foundation....her lobbying of foreign governments on behalf of specific American firms came just before or after those firms made hefty donations to the Clinton Foundation or another nonprofit Hillary created, "Vital Voices." Walmart gave to both groups, and to a separate fund Clinton established at the State Dept.

Most of the corporations have their own foundations, so why would they give their money to the Clintons to spend? Who suggested they do so?

Any claim that there was no quid pro quo should be made under oath.

Protesters Gathered at Clinton Foundation to Complain of 'Missing State Dept US foreign aid Money' for Haiti Recovery

Protesters gathered outside the Clinton Foundation in Harlem to complain about "missing money" from the US State Dept's recovery effort for the 2010 Haitian earthquake:

"New Yorkers with roots in Haiti protested, saying the picture [of the Haiti recovery] isn't so rosy," said the NY1-TV anchor. "People raised their voices to call attention to the missing money.

They protested outside the offices of the Clinton Foundation, which helped lead the reconstruction fund."

The protesters claimed that the US State Dept's $10 billion meant to help rebuild Haiti did little to help the country after the devastating 2010 quake. And that much of the money went to non-Haitian companies. Said one proteser, “The Haitian people are still living in very difficult conditions, still living under tents, while Bill Clinton and his cronies--they waste this money." As secretary of state under the Obama administration, Hillary Clinton devoted much of her time in 2010 to the Haiti recovery.

===================================================

POINTS TO PONDER:

<><> The State Dept recently issued a "special management alert"-----that it had "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors.....it warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.

<><> Bill Clinton got his hands on hundreds of million of dollars while Hillary ontrolled the State Dept checkbook..... monies that were meant for Haiti (the place where the Clintons spent their honeymoon).

<><> CLINTON BUSH HAITI FUND--donor to Clinton Global Initiative

WEB SITE http://www.clintonbushhaitifund.org/

The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded after Haiti’s January 12, 2010 earthquake, when President Barack Obama asked former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush to assist the Haitian people in building their own country back better. The Fund is using these donations to make grants, loans, and equity investments in organizations promoting job growth and smart, sustainable economic development.

Democrats tend to be much dirtier than Republicans, because Democrats have been used to the media covering for them for 50 years.

Hillary is plain toast. unbuttered... and at room temperature

[Junk Silver]

Does anyone else remember feeling like Romney was deliberately set up to lose the 2012 election? That’s how I see Hillary Clinton - the big donors have determined that Jeb Bush will serve their needs, and his election will also help some clueless Republicans feel like they are “throwing the rascals out”.

Hillary will make plenty of cash in the process of losing, that seems to be all she’s really concerned about.

[allendale]

Still it is yet to be seen if the American people will elect a truth challenged, amoral, alcoholic lesbian as their first woman President.

[DaveA37]

“She’s still giving paid speeches, believing she can float above it all.......”

We must remember, she stated clearly that she and Billy Boy were “dead broke” and goodness only knows she can't make money any other way than yakking and telling lies. She's gotta do what she's gotta do.

I've been saying it for month...Princess Liawatha will be the Rat Party nominee.

True---but I think Democrats look at the world differently than the rest of us---they're the glib kids in grammar school conning the gullible kids out of lunch money.

There's also the requisite Dummycrat candidate organ (no, not that one) ---- namely a "Heart of Gold."

2014 has been rough on Dummycrat candidates. The losers are forced to lay awake night swillling digitalis to keep their "Hearts of Gold" beating.

I hope Big Pharma doesn't run out (/snix).

[Gay State Conservative]

We must remember, she stated clearly that she and Billy Boy were “dead broke”...

I've driven right by their house in Chappaqua.Judging from the area and the house itself I,a guy who's not rich but is *far* from being "dead broke",wouldn't be able to live there in a million years.

Though the leftist-induced “culture war” ended many years ago, Hill/Bill, the cunning, ruthless culture warriors survive-—still living on the hefty income they managed to skim off for themselves from skimming off endless govt spending.

Hillary Clinton’s (God forbid) 2016 acceptance speech will almost certainly be the last gurgling bubbles of the sinking leftist ship.

[vette6387]

Looks as though Hitlary is in the $hitlary! The Clintons are so far beyond their “sell by” date that it’s laughable. She’s going to self-destruct because of her arrogance (and crookedness).

[FatherofFive]

[Awgie]

Watch for a Latino of non white skin tone to be VP.

[fatnotlazy]

The same idiots who voted for Obama because he would be the first black president will vote for Hillary because she would be the first woman president. Little things like scandal don't mean a thing to dopey voters. Besides, their favorite TV news channels will keep them in the dark about Hillary — that is, if any of them pay attention to the news at all.

[Liz]

US voters should know that the 2016 Democrat candidate is not Hillary-—its all the Clinton Foundation donors-—govts, corporations, companies, global govt agencies, non-profits, foundations, and individuals——lying in wait to get pay back-—with interest.

So who are Hillary and Bill beholden to? Who is lying in wait for her presidential pen to unleash zillions of tax dollars in interest?

It's interesting to note that after the Clintons left office they couldn't even get a mortgage on their new $1.7M home in Westchester County, New York until Terry McAuliffe co-signed the loan and put up $1.35M in collateral with the bank holding the mortgage.

Someone buying a $1.7M home could hardly be considered "broke" by any objective measure, but that little tidbit was a pathetic reflection of the Clintons when the left Washington.

[Gaffer]

The unmitigated audacity and sense of self that she thought she could convince anyone that “we were dead broke when Bill left office” is worse than a 2 year old with chocolate all over herself saying “I didn't eat that cookie”. If that is true, then pigs can actually fly out of my butt.

They were, are and always will be money-grubbing grifters - all the way from fictitious billing at her token law-firm job to her magic stock picks to itemizing Bill's dirty underwear on their taxes. I won't even get into the priceless furniture, gifts and items they stole from the White House. A decent, law-abiding society would have jailed her long ago or at the very least jailed her for untold millions given to her (her foundation) from foreign governments during her tenure at the State Department.

WE KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT WANNABE HILLARY CLINTON'S POLITICAL AGENDA As she hopscotched around the country to the tune of $300,000 per hop---Hillary craftily held back her political game plan to her audiences.......to avoid scrutiny.

BUT THIS WE KNOW FOR SURE---A HILLARY PRESIDENCY WILL PERMIT UNLIMITED ACCESS TO WOMEN'S VAGINAS

In her cunning little fem-lib brain Hillary will exploit the "women's vote"----launching new initiatives to promote late-term abortions---maybe forming a "Woman's Equality Caucus" as a subterfuge for late-term abortion expansion programs designed to further the Democrats' national “war on women” campaign theme.

================================================

The Abortion Worshipping Clintons have a Master Plan---everybody knows in politics, to burnish one's bona fides in order to get into higher office, a pol has to spoon-feed the snarling "choice" crowds more and more red meat.

Snarling PP-types will demand medical reports and checkoffs for newborns w/ diseases----toddlers who have bow legs, 3-4 year olds who won't put away their toys, the ones who won't toilet-train. Next Cuomo will troll kindergartens for kids who don't color within the lines---all of them marked for post-birth abortions.

===================================

BACKSTORY Opportunistic Billy-boy Clinton hoped "stupid Americans" would ignore the details when he pontificated to an appreciative audience during the cocktail hour hosted by POLITICO: "We had 100 times as many people move from poverty into the middle class. This shows the importance of policy."

Pumping 2016 Hillary, he added: "We can do this again.”

OOPS---Billy Boy plumb "forgot" infamous MIT Professor -Jonathan Gruber crunched those numbers for the ever-ambitious Clintons....basing the numbers on the Clintons' knee-bending abortion worship. Read on.

=========================================

World Net Daily reported November 14, 2014
BY Jerome R. Corsi / FR Posted by Cincinatus' Wife

NEW YORK – Obamacare architect, Jonathan Gruber, (exposed for his frank admissions that passing Obama's signature legislation required lying to "stupid" Americans)......published a paper during the Clinton administration observing that legalizing abortion saved the government $14B in assistance to economically disadvantaged mothers, including African Americans.....and lowered crime.

MIT economics professor Jonathan Gruber argued in his Clinton paper that without the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, “marginal children” would have been born to many poor mothers. Gruber said statistics show these aborted children would have been 70 percent more likely to live in a single-parent family, 40 percent more likely to live in poverty, 50 percent more likely to receive welfare and 35 percent more likely to die as an infant.

Economist Steven D. Levitt and journalist Stephen J. Dubner in their bestselling 2005 book, “Freakonomics,” relied on MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber’s work to argue that legalizing abortion was responsible for an approximately 50 percent reduction of crime in major urban centers in the early 1990s. more at wnd.com

Once viewed as a smart, passionate woman whose brilliance would shine when she was liberated...

The MSM, feminist organizations viewed her in that light when actually she was/is cunning period. Politics,self enrichment and power are her life's blood also that of Bill and Chelsea...an extremely mendacious lot.
