One reason it’s not Hillary: Debt load

WRONG…Bill’s shadow!

Obama won’t help his brother in Kenya either. Why is he so stingy?

Beacuse if elected he will send more of OUR money over to make Kenya a better place.

Again.. the unity.. it’s amazing to see the Messiah at work in the healing process.. bringing both halves together..

healing the world, and hope and change and unity is front and center in the Democratic party..

/sarc off button not working today..

never mentions who’s going to pay the debt

Actually, Barry often does mention some of the people he’s going to soak in the name of “fairness”. He calls them “The Rich”, anybody making over $200K/year. Except when he talks about raising other taxes “in the name of ‘fairness’!” Then, he’s talking about most anybody paying taxes.

On a related note, can Herself use the reputed $26mil she has retained in her General Election fund to pay off her debts once the election is over or does she keep it in an interest-bearing account until her run in 2012?

I don’t understand why so many would have extended her campaign so much credit. You can’t loan a lib money and expect anything approaching prompt payment. Democrats seem to think they should be able to borrow and force others to take care of the debt.

This is exactly the mentality of the liberal left and how they think it’s the responsibility of the government to finance their every whim. Obama promise’s billions daily to his electorate in new entitlements and never mentions who’s going to pay the debt.

Nor does Obama have any great desire to pay Mark Penn’s bill, especially after the release of his memos.

I find it odd that Hillary is in debt to Mark Penn. He should have to eat whatever part of his bill relates to his personal compensation since he was hired while she was the front runner and proceeded to lose the race. Must be frustrating to Hillary to have to pay off the guy who lost her the nomination.

Hillary and her campaign amassed a huge debt. It is up to Hillary to retire that debt.

Here in the Midwest, it took over a decade for John Glenn to retire or refinance the debt from his failed Presidential bid. And in my town, my county, we still haven’t been paid/reimbursed for the added expanses imposed on the locals for the Kerry/Edwards [lying]dog and [silky] pony show that rolled through here in 2004.

Obama and the Dem party have no obligation to retire Hillary’s debt. I would hope they would legally retire their own.

Small towns across America take it in the pocketbook/wallet every time one of these free spending campaigners uses our towns as a backdrop for their political campaigns. Cash up front…now that’s a neat idea.

This is why it will be difficult, if not impossible, to add Hillary to the ticket. Obama may or may not be required to cover her debt by law, but practically speaking, he’d be stuck with her bills.

He’ll also get her Bill, possibly an even bigger liability.
