i saw this yesterday and the lamestream media is clearly running interference for Hillary because she has lots of embarrassing revelations in this area herself, but... i’m still disappointed in Dubya’s judgement on this. you’ve got to know how this looks and you’ve got to know eventually some ‘RAT will publicize it to call the GOP either hypocrites or uncaring bastards. these extravagant speaking fees for the the self-appointed governing elite are really a scandal in a country that has suffered through essentially zero real job growth for nearly 7 years now, and which has a 42.9% real unemployment rate. the gap between the rich and the middle class (and poor) is getting larger no matter whether the ‘RATS or the GOP are in charge. it’s bad for the future of the country. we’re living in a new era of robber barons, only these robber barons aren’t industrialists... they are politicians, media elite, and monopoly money internet gazillionaires.
Exactly. This will be the new answer and defense for the Clinton’s enormous speaking fees. I can just hear it now when asked, “Yeah, but Bush took money from veterans.” Plus, let’s not be so sure it is true and how do we know GWB didn’t turn around and donate it back or maybe to another charity? GWB might be a lot of things but something he never displayed was greed, in fact, he was too humble.
