As usual, the Clinton’s using others carbon footprint to disguise their fingerprints.

Reading the article, proves the world view ‘Wild Bill’ as an upscale ‘Used Car Salesman’ they can use to hide their real intentions because ‘Wild Bill’ has no qualms about pimping himself to exploit his own ego.

My only word of advise to the world corporations that wish to do the same thing-use decals when marking your biz jet. They can be removed later and protect their involvement.

I love the Kazhakstan mining deal (Is it for superior potassium?).

And it was the Bushies who invaded Afghanistan for the oil pipeline?

Could we please please please ban that front-page pic of Clinton from this site? The smiling friendly predator closeup always gives me the profound creeps. I can’t explain it. (Actually I can, but the explanation might get me banned.) Gonna have nightmares tonight. Please have mercy.

The other takeaway is a question: Did any of Bill Clinton’s various international deals end up funding the $5 million loan that the Clintons handed to her cash-strapped campaign?

Hillary using Bill’s money to fund her campaign? Hillary is a feminist, she doesn’t need a man to finance her campaign! ;-0

I also have to wonder why Michelle Obama makes a reported $275K working as an outreach director for a hospital. Is this a standard salary (if so, tell me where to sign up) or is this a way to funnel money to the Messiah?

It’s not like he was selling pardons to criminals that gave him money?

He’s been there and done that already with no problems!

Hmmm. “Whoring out the prestige, power, and access that holding high office confers for personal self-aggrandizement since 1978″.

What’s not to like about a putative “political power dynasty” with that emblazoned on their family crest?

You know, they just have so many opportunities for this country. They don’t want to see us fall backwards.

It’s very personal for them.

Money ain’t my thang….but I’m gonna ask anyway…

So BillyBoy heads a charity, say ‘the underpriviledged widget fund(UWF)’, and secures a $5M donation from a Saudi prince. BillyBoy then invoices the ‘UWF’ for consulting fees for $4M and drops the check into the BillyBoy family checking account. Hillary opens the checkbook and says gee thanks Bill? That is legal?

Even if it was clean before they touched it. The dirt is spread by the dirty.

So this ‘many hats’ rule allows him to completely co-mingle the funds as long as each ‘donation’ is preceded by a declaration of purpose? The income gets the scrutiny but the outlay doesn’t? You could juggle the books nine ways from Sunday running a business like this.

I want in on this scam……

How is it legal, let alone ethical, for a former president, or the spouse of a sitting government official, to even touch foreign money?

There is truth in that. Reminds me of the comment from a professional gambler regarding the integrity of professional sports. Paraphrasing,..”There is too much money at stake to let the ballplayers determine the outcome.”

We still are not clear on how tangled they were with Tyson and other money-making schemes/frauds. Everything they touch is dirty, everything. They have untold wealth that we have no idea about, I am sure, and yet they still want to steal our real and hard-earned incomes. I loathe them beyond words.

Obama may win the delegates needed to win the nomination, but the Clintons will not let him have it. There is no way Obama can anticipate the evil that he is about to face. The blackmailing of commited delgates has already begun. The only charities that the Clintons will ever support is their own back pockets.
