They paid 33.8 million in taxes federal

They gave 10.5 million in charity

I wouldn't call them Greety! Would you?

They make alot of money I didn't know that the American People

see that as a bad thing. I thought this is American land of the free with
opportunitys to make as much money as you can.

All of you whining conservatives will never believe anything good about any liberal named Clinton or anything else. You should be thankful that we don't have another Bush in the wings just waiting to see what else they can do to finish ruining this country. George W. has almost put the finishing touches on the job of despair that McCain is waiting anxiously to finish. Not named Bush but close enough to bring us all the way down.

Typical cheaters return. Pay yourself to run a charity with your own money to which you give money for a tax deduction. Include all your travel expenses and goodwill tours. Typical charity begins at home tax shelter schemes.

OBAMAROBOTS – now please have BO release the details to Rezko!!!!

Any thing to get these two back in Office, Please do it!

I never felt safer in the US then when Bill was in Office,
I dont see that changing with both Clinton's running the US of A!

I dont think the the people are ready for that amount of safety,
Safety is not something thats voted for, is it ?
Money is always at the top when voting, pointless!
Money here, money there, its gone befor you know it

But its nice to dream,

like or not this is about race. What if obama was a white man, Will you still vote for him ? I'll hope obama wins the nomination, because I'm pretty sure the republican machine will eat him alive. We already know who Hillary is, Do we know who is obama?

You Obama supporters sure are stuck on stupid. You are complaining about the money Bill makes from his speeches and books. I dont see you all complaining about JayZ or Diddy making millions. If you started making money like that, you wouldnt be saying a thing. How about if you were to get audited for the last 20 years, most of you probably lied….check yourself before checking others.

GO Hillary

Anybody find the over $51,000,000 Bill made for giving speeches bizarre? He got over $600,000 from special interest groups for one speech! What else were these special interest groups buying? Since Bill is no longer in public office, how will they be cashing in on these purchases?

there are really alot of idiots on this board. funny how brave people are hiding behind an anonomous comment board

Wow!!!! Over a hundred million in 6 years! That is really good money management. Just what the U.S. needs. I read all the insulting comments about their earnings, how about complaining about those ceos, cofs that bankrupt businesses and get 200 Million, 140 Million and others who steal from the companies they control.

Don't blame Clinton for something that Penn did, his trip was totally
separate from campaign business.

Be happy for other people's success, we can always benefit from it.
What benefit do we get from the homeless, persons who are on welfare or illegal residents who get involved in crimes of all sorts.

Please get real and think about the more important things and stop the nit-picking. Be appreciative of someone who takes all the flack and is willing to help all of us. THINK ABOUT IT!

I just can't believe she released an ad earlier about how she "Knows How People Working Night Shift feel"

Earning this kind of money and claiming you know how blue-collar worker feels, it's an insult.

I don't know how she sleeps at night while releasing these kinds of ads.

Barack Obama is a homeless man in comparison to her earnings.

Just unbelievable.

Clinton 2012
I hope the Obama people can shut up for a while. Oh, but of course not, we Democrats cannot possibly win an election! Forget the Presidency! This time, it's all about arrogance. Obama could offer Clinton the VP spot and it would be all over. It would unite the party. But Barack believes he is such a God that he doesn't need the 50% of Democrats who support Hillary. Just wait.

The Clintons released from 2000 to 2006….and matched the Obama's returns at that….neither has released the 2007 records yet…..
As for the 30 years of public records that the cynics here keep wondering about, well, before 2000, Bill Clinton was president and before that he was governor of Arkansas….which means that all those tax records have ALWAYS been public….So, sorry folks, no smoking gun here nor conspiracy theory……so lets move on to something else to complain about, why not just embrace the fact that you love to hate her and move on and keep rooting for McGovern….I mean Obama…
HILLARY '08

This is news how? They earned their money and I am not going to begrudge anyone that. I just laugh at Obama-ites and their cultish following Barrack has created. They are are all so negative its hysterical!

TO THE GUYS IMPRESSED BY THE $ 10,000,000 DONATED BY THE CLINTONS:

They have got $ 92,000,000 for speaches and Books which would have been valueless without the name recognizance which is a PERK
of the presidency (additional to their salaries and pensions, directly related to their work!),

Donating $ 10,000,000 of these to Charities seems rather modest !!
Other presidents have open a foundation and spent there much more !!

OBAMA surly will do the same if and after he becomes President !!!!

ALBO

109 million – wow. I had no idea they were that wealthy. And so much from over seas as well.

How can they relate to the common man?

And then this Mark Penn thing today – geez – meeting with the Colombians for crying out loud!

Doesn't that bother any of your HRC supporters?

Obama 08!

Irony = Clinton supporters complaining about Obama supporters complaining

Irony = Clinton supporters being nasty about how Obama supporters are always nasty

Can everyone not see how circular this is, no matter which side you are on? Can everyone not see how similarly both sides are acting? Get on your high horse if you will, but so long as you are criticizing (as I am right now), you and I and everyone else are exactly the same.

I didn't need to see your taxes to vote for you, Sen. Clinton. I read a funny quote online but don't remember author: "which part of the 90's didn't you like: the peace or the prosperity?" Now O-bots, shut up, please.

Oh, and two thirds of the charities Obama gave to were Black charities. WOW…a man for all! It sure shows how well Wright's brain washing and anti American, Black liberation theology has worked.

Hillary supporters…stand fast…Obama man will get caught up in his past. It'll all come out even if it is during the National election.

What a timing? This is just an attempt to change the subject from Penn dealing with Colombian goverment!!

It's almost comical the people who are saying there was some sort of a timing issue conspiracy for them releasing their tax returns.

OBAMABOTS do you guys need a little WD 40 to come to grips with the fact that they're just releasing the returns. No hidden motive, no conspiracy theory. GET OVER IT.

Not so bule collar after all.

How much is from Dubai and other Foriegn "investors'?

Now let's see what the new whiners (Obama) will come up with! How about Chelseys? Way to go Hillary.Great show on Jay Leno by the way.

Most of the people posting didn't even read this article and they're just posting their undeserving hate for Hillary! If they read it, there's a list of how they made it. If they can make that kind of money for themselves, imagine what Hillary can make for America! You can also download their tax returns at the end of this article for the people who are commenting negative crap about not believing it's accuracy! Give Hillary a break- you women haters!!!!!!

stop hatin'. the woman is gangstar! now we know that the Clintons are more charitable than the Obamas.

also, i love all the conspiracy theorists here. did you even read the breakdown before posting?

Clinton is the best candidate, she has been fighting for universal healthcare for years, and her energy and economic policies are superior to Obama's, but she cant catch a break by the media.

The reason the Clinton's give some much to charity is because for tax purposes, they can either give the money to charity or give it to the government. So why not give it to charity? It is all the same to them, they have to give away that money, its just a matter of where.

You could just as easily argue that Obama gives more of his income to the government because he believes more in the ability of government to spend his money wisely. Maybe he's doing his part to try and eliminate the trillions of debt by not giving away to charity?

Democrats are ridiculous because they always have a one-minded stupid view of how things work and never take everything into account. Grow up, both sides!!!!

I couldnt help but notice that the breakdown of the tax returns – as submitted by the Clinton Campaign Spokesman – Jay Carson contains a little note at the bottom that says "the figures in this summary contain 2007 estimates" – gee that sure leave some wiggle room to "slant" things

Why do so many people keep asking where the $109 Million came from? The article (if they bothered to read) says half of it came from Bill's public appearances/speeches… and the rest mostly from book sales. Nobody wants to read, they just want to bash Hillary.

As for lying and double-talk, why did Obama say he wasn't present when Wright said those things, yet later admitted he heard him say "controversial remarks." And then he couldn't disown Wright because he was like an uncle? And then a week later he said he would've left the church if Wright didn't retire.

He says he had the judgement to say we shouldn't have gone to war, yet he didn't have the backbone to leave this church. He had this guy as his spiritual advisor and yet he was ready to throw him under the bus by saying he would've left the church had Wright not retired.

I'm concerned that someone wrote in the page numbers. It seems like they want us to believe that all the information is there. With the past record of the Clinton lies, I kind of doubt it. I'm sure there's a lot of information missing!

10million to charities– Cash???
$108 mil. from her salary, giving speeches, and selling books ??? Maybe they both can write a book to teach people HOW! Those rich guys you mentioned have done more than giving speeches, selling books….

For all you Obama supporters, why not release more details about his financial dealings. You can't for something from one without expecting your candidate to do the same.

If I made $109 million, I certainly wouldn't have a problem donating 10% of my income to charity because there's plenty left over. However, if you're an average family making $45K, 10% of your income going to charity could mean the difference between a balanced meal for dinner or hot dogs for dinner.

AND THERE SHE WAS ON THE SENATE LAST WEEK, TALKING ABOUT EXCESSIVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION!!! wE SHOULD KEEP HER BRAINS AND MAKE IT A CASE STUDY ON LIARS!

By the way there is a little click here in the article if you want to see the actual returns in their entirety.

SO WHAT?!!! IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH THEY MADE!!! Money or lack thereof does not decide who's a good leader for this country. More power to you Clintons!

The Obama-bots keep telling us they are a lot smarter then the rest of us? How come they can't figure out that you make money when you can write a book? When you are important and ask to speak, you make money? Why can't they figure that out?

Hillary Clinton has already lost this election in the name of Jesus Christ. God save America from the Clintons

Maybe now the Obama supporters will shut up….-..oh of course they won't …because they are jealous of the Clintons…..But…if and when Obama releases his tax returns or they find out just how much he has really taken from the oil companies…and how he is tied to Rezko…then they will shut up! Your guy isnt the messiah he is pretending to be…..it aint over ….

GO HILLARY…..

The lecture circuit is pretty lucrative – and President Clinton is a very compelling speaker. Why did he make so much? Because the organizers new he was a compelling speaker and that the attendance at one of his lectures would be huge.

The earned a lot of money from their books…why? Because the public bought their books…..

Obama's (and his wife's) went up considerably as he became a well-known national figure. Another 20 years and his income will be similar to the Clintons'.

They donated a pittance to charity.

Kerry is wealthy, Edwards is wealthy, GWB is wealthy, Cheney is wealthy, Romney is wealthy, Guilliani is wealthy….the list goes on. Since when did being a wealthy politician become a crime?

Sen. Clinton is a very smart woman!!!!!

Big fiasco today with advisor Mark Penn!!!!!!

She releases her tax returns late friday with the hopes that everyone will forget about Penn and free trade fiasco. Then try to bury both items over the week-end

Does she really think the media is so gullible?

I hope they are a tad smarter than falling for these tactics!!

So please explain to me how she is just a regular person who can relate to voters who are losing their homes, and jobs and to truckers who are sturggling to pay $4.00 a gallon for fuel?

A TRUE LEADER HAS NOTHING TO HIDE!

Keep Shining Hillary! 2008 is yours!

PS: And you got my vote in 2012 too!

I get about 1/3 of my paycheck taken out for taxes, insurance, etc.

They don't pay nearly enough. They should be paying OVER $2 million. This is ridiculous!

Hillary wouldn't know how the blue collar people feel if she tried. She is a poor representative of the working people in this country. As far as the 3:00 a.m. ad….she probably wouldn't answer the phone because she would be looking for Bill with an intern in the hallway. Hillary…please go away.

First, the Clinton tax returns have been public before. For 2007, they aren't even due for another 11 days… does every poster have theirs done and turned in? I don't and usually don't until around this time. Why is everyone so quick to judge.

Second, how hard is it to imagine 100+ million? He's the former president of the US and gets a substantial pension–his former salary each year.., so about 1.4 million. He gets hefty sums on the speaking circuit. They had nice advances on their books and royalties and the like. Plus, they have property and other investments. And Hillary's salary. It's not that hard to conceive. They may have even inherited money when his mother died and her father died. Just like other Americans.

But, you can't say they aren't giving back through years of public service, Bill's foundation, his work with former President Bush with the tsunami and AIDS in Africa. You can hate them all you want but you cannot say that they don't just talk about helping, they help. Actions speak louder than words.

I'm happy they made $109 million. That will give them something to live on while Obama is President.

Caleb Calhoun, you are correct!

Clinton couple are both very hard working, not like Obama. He got paid as a Senator, but he didn't do his duties as a Senator, but spent all his time on Presidential Campaign! He is wasting the taxpayers' money!

This blog is very sad. There are so many better issues to discuss. The media will devour these tax returns and distract and turn people against Hillary again. If you Americans vote for the wrong candidate again – you'll be getting what you deserve – again! Trouble is we have to live with him too.

Please elect HILLARY. Look at her resume! Then Obama next time.

Does this have ANY bearing at all on the presidential race? Does ANYBODY truly care what the Clintons earned last year? or the year before? or ever?
My question? What will Mrs. Clinton or Mr. Obama do for me and my family if she or he is elected president?

Hey CAW they're just taking a page out of Obama's playbook. All his pertinent (?) announcements have been made on a Friday.
Do you really think that he could stand up to the scrutiny that the Clinton's have. I personally do no think that he can.

Why doesn't the Clintons released the tax for the library? That's when will will start to see the shady business dealing. Since the Hillary supporter are raving about her releasing her returns……..It would be nice for her to help those blue collar worker. She and her husband help send jobs overseas and they clean up on the money left her. Wow, you Hillary supporter are so brainwashed.

Hey dummies, if you read till the end of the article you can click on the full and complete documents. Yes it gives all the 1040's from 2000 to 2006 with estimates for 2007. You were so anxious to start accusing the Clintons of wrong doing you missed the whole article and the information that you can click to get. Oh and the 30 years that the article speaks of are what has been released over the years since Clinton was Govenor. Dah!!!

Some of you people are out right silly. The clintons earned 109 million and donated 10% to charity (Mostly to the clinton family foundation mind you) the Obama's earned in Single digit million`s and donated $250,000 of those earnings to various Charities, with no family afilliation's; that can't be drawn from like the clintons. Fact is giving money to charity is an act of kindness that half the people in this room don't do on their own. lets just drop the charity ordeal in general.The second fact is Hillary only released these tax returns to distract from the Penn ordeal, and all you clintonites are so consumed with the Clinton charade that you've all turned the other cheek to the Endless scandals, and double standards of the clintons.
The truth of the matter is that hillarys ship is sinking fast, and I'm all the more deliriously enjoying watching her go asunder with all her litany of lies trailing fast behind her!

Democrat 08

Obama supporters, yes, please, do read and examine Hillary tax returns. You ranted and raved long enough. So read to your heart's consent. LOL…kind of liking sticking a pin in your big balloon now, isn't it.
Now we can ask the Obama man to open all of his tax records. Ooops…he may not want to do that. Right. Unless Rezko's lawyers are successful in suppressing the documents that will blow the Privileged White as much as Black Obama man out of this race

i must be in the wrong buissness 109million ,i bet she stole most of it .the clintons are liars and not to be trusted………………

WAIT…..

The tax return that the Clintons released is from 2000 to 2006. The most important ones are supposed to be in 2007. Let's wait and see what the Clintons will do about the 2007 tax…. stay tune.

By the way, what did Vinod Gupta, CEO of infoUSA, get from donating 3 million dollars to Bill?

Interesting….

PEOPLE, Sen and Bill Clinton PAID $33 Million in TAXES, that's 30% of their income, they also GAVE nearly 10% of their income to CHARITY, charities that work for POOR people, check out the organizations and projects the foundation supports before you start BLOWING smoke. If they had sheltered most of their income offshore, they would not have paid anywhere near a 33% tax rate. These two people are truly share the riches people. OBAMA on the other hand gave approx 3% of his income to his racist church as his charitable good works. Wake up and smell the coffee folks.

If you guys enjoyed prosperity in the Clinton years, then his service is really worth the money he earned.

Who cares anymore. The delay has been so long, how can one not speculate these numbers have been washed several times over? It's no secret these people are crooks.

For all those Obama supporters who are testy about these being released on Friday. I would like to remind them that when Obama admitted that he actually accepted $250,00 from Rezko it was late on Friday afternoon. So what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

If the Clinton's made that much money for speaking, then Obama should be making Trillions for his speeches. Anyway, they are filthy rich good for Hil and Bill. I see they are trying to stress taxes and donations…………We'll see…. I agree with person who said, What does she have in common with Blue collar workers? I smell a rat name Hillary!

In 8 years they have gave to charities less that 10% of what they earned this year. I guess they are not even close to tithing.

We've already established that we do not need her and her husband in the presidency position. Now we need to establish why either one of them even need a job.

Enough!

And exactly how does this brief 4 paragraph article compare to yesterday's CNN full page article on the McCains (specifically Cindy McCains) $100Million net worth? Amazing how CNN continues it shadow and suggestive views to try and sway the public for its own political agenda.

Cinday McCains life time of financial history: Detailed, full page
The Clintons 8 years of financial history: A brief 4 paragraph summary
Obama: not a peep!

That piece yesterday on the McCains financial history, which spans their full lifetime was pretty disgusting and CNNs intentions were overtly obvious. How come CNN isn't so scrutinizing over the Clintons $109 M in 8 years as they are with the McCains $100 M over 40 years???

anyone, anyone?

BILLARY, RELEASE YOUR EARMARKS NEXT!!!!

Carson and Wolfson should step down..they are causing Hillary to falter!!!

And there you are people. Is there anything MORE the public wishes to vet out of Senator Clinton? If you look the scrutiny she has been put under compared to Senator Obama. One would think the media is biased more to the guys than a girl the way the slant has been from the beginning. So today is April 4th. I give it til Monday April 7th when the reaction of thirty years documentation is then scorned upon and not believed. (again). I must say though that between them, both Mr and Mrs. Clinton HAVE donated a good deal of money to charity over the years.

Hillary, our next President!

now that she disclosed these few years taxes IN ADDITION to the many number of years of taxes ALREADY in the public domain, now what are they going to go after her for, to keep away from discussing the issues ?

While we're talking income, how about the media looking into how Michelle Obama got a $200,000 raise (to over $300,000) from the Chicago hospital system just months after her husband was elected to the Senate.

Hill said great speeches don't put food on the table, but now I know she didn't want me to know the secrets of wealth. Blue color workers should take notice because somebody is lying here.

Since when it's a crime to make money in this country?? Let's re-visit this question when the Obamas have been in the pulic eye 20 more years & let's see what they've made from there speechs & book deals………Now, Mr. Obama can keep quite about the tax returns accusations & focus on the issues, something that he accuses Mrs. Clinton about all the time…….Enough rehtoric & more subtance & solutions to our country's problem, that's what Mr. Obama should be doing……….& if he uses the race card one more time, then he's lost the last ounce of respect that I have for him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S.: For all of those out there who will accuse me of being a white racist man, for the record I'm a Middleasetrn-American college educated voter who has friends from all over the world & looks at the person beyond their race……….IT'S THE 21st CENTURY, GROW UP!!!!!!!!!!!

Who cares?? This is my business because…?

Giving 9.5% of income to charity. That's pretty much a tithe. I'm very impressed.

Why can't she pay her campaign bills and her staff's health insurance premiums?

I am glad she finally release her tax returns. According to her, it takes time to retrieve the information because they have to go through files and files of paperwork BUT….Am I the only one who noticed that EVERY SINGLE TAX RETURN was amended on 10-14-07? Obviously, they weren't tucked too far away. They've been ready to be release since LAST YEAR! Smells kinda fishy to me….

Wow, $10 million in donations! I would like to see how much Barack Obama has donated to charities over the same time frame. The Clintons are very generous donors by the looks of things. Says something about their ethics and authenticity.

Challenge to the Obama supporters: Senator Obama release your last 30 years of taxes ….ooops I guess you can't cause you where only 16 then.

How about the dates you where in front of Pastor Wright hearing his "hate" preaching….oops I guess you can't recall this section.

Question for Senator Obama did you EVER walk out of church when Pastor Wright was preaching "hate"? If so give dates.

I wonder how much fundraising money for Mrs. Clinton is coming from Colombia…let's check!! Where is a Penn when you need one?

It's hilarious that O-bots still want more information from Clinton while we've got hardly any information from Obama. What a bunch of clowns

Hillary 08

What now Barack ?

Here is the breakdown of salaries as of January 2008. SInce they get reimbursed for expenses (do the research), she must be high maintenance!
Senate Majority & Minority Leaders $188,100
House / Senate Members & Delegates $169,300
Remeber that of the $190,000 in items that were taken from the White House according to the US Park Service, that the Clintons returned $28,000, mostly furniture according to reports. The Clinton's aren't THAT dishonest. Give 'em a break.

Looks like the Clintons just about tithe their income before taxes, or more than tithe their after tax income.
Before you say their donations are too small, take an honest look in the mirror.
Do you tithe your income?

Some will have to sit me down and explain to me very slowly why anyone would pay anyone $51,000,000 to speak. In the mean time, I will be at Home Depot buying pitch forks. We are being used. It is time for a revolution.

At more than $50 million it is not "speech income" it is "lobbying and speech" income.

109 million? Sure its alot of money but I sincerely doubt the Clintons spent years in college to pump gas for a living. We live in America, if we want to change our financial status, we should get off our butts and make some sacrafices in our lives instead of whining about the things we don't have.

Bill was too busy making speeches in the foreign countries for $$. They should disclose a list of those speeches and names of those foreign payees

Happy now Mr Obama? We found out something we didn't know… the Clintons are wealthy!! duh

Perhaps now you can answer the question about Larry Sinclair?

However well all get to see how philanthropic Hillary is! How much have you donated?

WAKE UP AMERICA!! DON'T VOTE FOR AN EMPTY SUIT AGAIN!!!

I hope Hillary rolls over Obama and his supporters in the near future like a Bradley tank moves through enemy fire. What putz's these people are about Hillary, and how ignorant they are about political realitity.
I've never seen such an arrogant bunch of people, who usually have nothing of intelligence to say about their political positioning, or good reasons why they support Obama, other then the ridiculous media spin their 24/7 t.v. watching minds have been hypnotized by. What a Sorry bunch! They slander our ex-president, and defile an intelligent woman, who has had nothing but the best interests for the American public since she became involved in public service. You Obama people who say such nasty things about her are a sad lot.
I won't go and vote for McCain if she loses the nomination, but I'll remember you Obama supporters, and secretly love it when his phoniness is revealed day by day in his presidency if he unbelievably gets past McCain, which he won't, let me tell you. Go to your churches sickos, and hope and pray that your sickening personalities are forgiven for what trash comes out of your mouths about things you know nothing about.
Hillary will win this nomination in spite of the press being on Obama's side. Hillary for President!

I have to say I am disgusted at the remarks being made on this blog obama supporters need to grow up

obama whines for her to release her tax returns – she does and the obama supporters whine that she released the on a Friday so what there are 30 years of tax returns made available by the clintons – obama released 6 years worth.

They faked them – idiots are you accusing the IRS of conspiring with them?

Charitable Donations – As well as giving 10% of their own income, the Clinton global Initiative is helping thousands of people around the world – providing healthcare, education and fighting poverty. Bill Clintons book giving has also opened the eyes of people around the world providing publicity for numerous charities that most people hadn't heard about – once again helpin thousands more people in the US and around the world.

The Clintons are helping poor people and blue collar workers everyday – what has Obama done apart from Whine… donating onkly 1% of income to charity – i guess those piano lessons, dance lessons and summer camps his daughters attend must be really expensive.

Why aren't people demanding to see Obamas papers from the Illinois senate – oh i forgot he said he lost them, instead of denegrating the clintons open your eyes and see what good they have been doing.

If Obama does get the nomination this pathetic hatred that the Obama supporters has is going to backfire on him in November as the Clinton supporters have seen their candidate treated with distain and themselves the target of abuse on these blogs – do you think that they will vote for Obama if he is the nominee?

The US needs a strong President and Hillary is the best candidate.

Can you people do math? $109 million over 8 yrs. That's 13.6 million a year. That is nothing for a couple of such high profile. We are talking about a past head of the states. The riches state in the world! Plus, 10 million dollars to charity. That's about 10 percent of gross incomes. I don't see any of you, myself included, giving that much a year. I will do the math again for those that can't count. If you make $80,000 a year, that is $8,000 a year.

Greed is as mcuh a SIN as "adultry" or "taking the name of God in vain."

Thanks Hillary for pulling back the veil on your finances. On my current income it will take me several generations to make 1/10th of your income. Frankly, I don't think you deserve my contribution anymore. Spend some of your money. ….and this Mark Penn issue, tell me it isn't true. I hate to believe I've rooted for a hypocrite.

I didn't know Obamanatics knew any other english words besides "HOPE. CHANGE. YES WE CAN." !!!!

Apparently when they finally get what they want, the floodgates open and they find other words to describe the fact that they STILL aren't satisfied! Leave it to the Crybaby Obama camp to continue to complain.

And by the way, I am beyond sick and tired of CNN's pro-Obama coverage. It's truly sickening.

HILLARY '08

It is almost fun the read the comments of the obamaites. They get so worked up they can't even type coherently. Missed words, mispelled words. Sentences that don't make any sense at all. They are just quivering to try to put the Clintons down, and in so doing making fools of themselves. I will miss reading the blogs when Hillary is in the Whitehouse. Of course then the crying will be even more amusing.

You know, most of you Obama people are the ones causing the division in this party. I have never seen such a mean spirited group of people anywhere. Maybe it is because you are too young to know any better and have no respect for anyone. There is more known about the Clinton's than almost anyone on this planet and STILL you're not happy. I think the most telling thing showing on these returns is the GENEROSITY of the Clinton's towards helping to make this country better. 10% of their income donated to charity vs 1% for the Obama's. And if you were to open your eyes and actually READ, you would see where the money came from. Now, how about the COMPLETE story on Rezko and the "boneheaded" house deal and political contributions?

I don't mind if someone works hard and makes money. The Clintons were very GENEROUS!!!
Hillary 2008

Greed is sinful!!!

$108 Millon!!!! And talked about how much she had gone through in her life andcompared her life with soldiers??? Give me a break!

Obamabots are sick. Constantly always attacking Hilliary and missing the point entirely.

1. Obama has only release part of his tax return, he has not release his tax return when he was in the "State"(not US) Senate.

2. Hilliary and Bill donated more to charity than most people, including those who made less and MORE than them.

3. Just because you make alot of money doesn't mean you're not a blue collar worker. I come from a family of hard working self-made business owners, on top of owning the business, we actually do the grind work too. Not all blue collar workers are POOR!

4. Blooomsberg is mayor of New York because he's greedy for more money or power. After making so much money, sometime you want to thank your country by being a public servant for your country.

It's sad to see the campaign turn itself to this. This cult following for Obama has disgusted me. It's HIliary or McCain for me.

How many of you would still be putting up with slander and hatred being directed at you just to help the little people when you had made over 110 million dollars and had a husband who could generate that kind of income? Sadly, very few.

Being willing to allow to see her and them more clearly. They are not evil. She's pretty amazing actually. I admire her.

Only Hillary, otherwise McCain

NOW Obama should release his returns

guys, 109 million in 6 years is 18 million between them, so they each got 9 million a year. Well, if you want to know where the money came from, let me help break it down. They wrote three books between them, that is good for quite a few million dollars. Hillary has her salary in the senate, I know it is not a lot, but it is there. Finally, how much money do you think they get paid for doing speaking gigs? Bill Clinton goes around and speaks in places almost every week since he has left office, do you not think he is paid a ton of money for every speaking gig? Hillary also speaks a lot, and she gets paid every time for it. People, if you expected the salary to be low, you are crazy, of course they are rich, just like every former president. And don't knock Clinton's 10 percent until you can say what Obama gave to charity. Plus, does Obama have a global initiative like Clinton? No. You are crazy if you do not think the Clintons have a strong record of public service.

PERFECT TO DISTRACT FROM THE PENN SCANDAL. You'r a lair

Obama is too stingy to give any of his money away to charity. He is only take take take…

How many of you donate 10% of your income to charities? Name the politicians who have disclosed their finances to this extent? very, very, few and certainly NOT Obama or McCain.

Also, how many of you would still be putting up with slander and hatred being directed at you just to help the little people when you had made over 110 million dollars and had a husband who could generate that kind of income? Sadly, very few.

Being willing to see her and them more clearly. They are not evil. She's pretty amazing actually. I have come to admire her.

People complain about Clinton's making a lot of money. Did they ever think that its because they wrote so many books that were best sellers????

How much did Obama give to charity? Oh well, it doesn't matter…the Obama cultists are as crazy as the OJ Jury or the Bush apologists…it doesn't matter that his minister is a racist jerk and his wife is proud FOR THE FIRST TIME of being an American! All you Obama cultists are drones. Go Hillary!!!!

They gave 10% to charity and we are supposed to fall all over them?

It's called a TAX DEDUCTION people!

Sheesh!

she cleaned those tax returns up really nice, ehh

All of you Clinton supporters feeling all high and mighty…

This was released on a Friday afternoon, after word came out of her own campaign manager screwing up (again), LONG after she SHOULD have released them… I could go on but I have already made my point.

Sorry kiddos, Clinton has caused her own credibility loss and has cost herself the nomination.

please let us stop bickering. let us back the winnig team and reclaim America from the Republicans.

How many of you donate 10% of your income to charities? Name the politicians who have disclosed their finances to this extent? very, very, few and certainly NOT Obama or McCain. Their money came from books and Bill Clinton's speaking engagements — read the facts before you start freaking out.

Also, how many of you would still be putting up with slander and hatred being directed at you just to help the little people when you had made over 110 million dollars and had a husband who could generate that kind of income? Sadly, very few.

Being willing to allow to see her and them more clearly. They are not evil. She's pretty amazing actually. I admire her.

PS I see that the charity they gave to was the Clinton Family Foundation.

Yes, Hillary, listen to us voters! Get out of the race, you have no chance against McCain. America IS NOT A DYNASTY. We do not need another Clinton! We thank Bill for his service, but sit out — you've done your part in American history, Hillary, don't ruin it.

They still haven't revealed their 2007 tax returns. They have asked for an extension. So, they aren't really being transparent (as is becoming habitual).

"President Clinton's Speech Income: $51,855,599″

Yes, a speech is worth $200,000 a Pop.

And No, this is not a BRIBE to the Clintons from foreign powers oir major corporations!

Now that Hillary has shown the world her tax returns since 2000, does Obama or McCain have the guts to do it. So much for whining for a long time by all these Obamaniacs. One thing off your whining list. Also all those wondering where did all that money come from….people READ the entire news. There's the whole breakup of its sources. And for some shenanigans whispering something like corrup…i don't think people file and declare tax returns on black money. They pretty much hide it. So shut up and tickle your pea-brains harder to come up with something better. Go Hillary 2008!!

I can relate to other people. I don't have cancer, but I can see the pain. I'm not poor but I can see the need other people have. I can hear, but I can imagine what it would be like not to. So on and so on. Please stop saying Hillary can't feel for the less fortunate. She can and has for her whole life.

Anything to get Mark Penn out of the spotlight, eh?

Way to go CNN. You are like crows chasing shiny objects. No focus – especially when it comes to Clinton scandals and issues.

Where's the $200 million I paid for my pardon??????

Before people are impressed about them giving to charity. The charity they gave nearly $1 mil last year was to "The Clinton Family Foundation." You do not have to be a rocket scientist to know that this foundation was set up for write offs. What is "The Clinton Foundation" doing is the question.

Thank you for releasing your tax returns. Please release your Earmarks and Presidential Library donor lists please.

Tell us about the penn story you just want to confuse us on that

And who said "mere words" dosen't put food on the table?

The Clintons made 109 million….wow. I can see how there's no lobbist action there….buy 100 thousand copies of your book? Sure! By the way could you vote this way for us? Not to mention the records are released late Friday and in conjunction with someone in your campaign screaming NAFTA….NAFTA!!! to Columbia. I'm also curious as to where these HRC supporters are getting 20 and 30 years?? Last I checked 2000-2006 was 7…count before you say 6 people.

I'm voting democrat in Nov., I'm just hoping it'll be Obama after all the "mis-spokes", "I was tired" and whatever excuse HRC can come up with. There's a difference between mis-spoke and "I caught a fish thiiiiiiiiiiiiis big". I just don't like HRC because she says something and then if she's caught she has some reason. People…a democrat is a democrat for the most part. If you're going to vote for HRC you should be just as willing to vote for Obama, 95% of the time their ideas are just about the same!!! If it ends up being HRC in Nov. I'll still vote for her, I just hope this debacle with everything will make her realize she'll be caught if she "gets tired".

Oh one last thing…anyone who's rich will tell you it's easy to donate when you have money. Ten percent (a decent stock market return) of 109 million is….hmmmm isn't that interesting.

Go and read the whole tax return morons!!! Dont judge when you haven't even read it. And since when people making millions of dollars means corruption??? Just because some of you pro-Obamaers don't make that kind of money, doesn't mean people who does makes it are crooks!!…

THERE! HAPPY NOW, OBAMA-BOTS…

NOW – OBAMA, RELEASE YOUR ILLINOIS STATE RECORDS…

…What are you hiding, Obama?????

Nothing makes you obama people happy. Such hatred in so many of you.

someone actually typed "Rise Hillary, rise…"
Unbelievable. I thought Hillary was delusional (with the sniper fire stories) but her loyals must be drinking the same special fruit punch that she is drinking. Even her followers thinks she's heir to the throne. A queen in this neo-Monarchy of the Bush/Clinton 27 year reign. THIS IS AMERICA, not great britain. How about we get back to Jefferson's idea of democracy? 200+ years later. Of the people, by the people. Leader in popular vote, leader in states won, leader in delegate count. Obama. I don't see why the Clinton Machine is even relevant at this point. She has no way of catching Obama. Give it up while you still have some semblence of dignity left.

Giving 10% of 107 million still leaves you a lot more to live on than most of us will ever see.

I'm an Obama supporter, but I don't have a problem with the amount of money the Clintons have made. Actually, I think Bill and Hillary did themselves a disservice by taking so long allowing others to make a big deal over it. America is such a great country, that anyone who works hard enough can make a fortune! There's nothing wrong with that…even IF you last name is Clinton.

oh, now obama wants to say he gave to charity too. hillary has been a giver to the people ever since college. this is her calling. obama just wants to make history. he has been so negative toward hillary about her posting her tax returns. now what does he has to say. he should say i'm sorry for being so nasty about you not submitting your tax returns to the public. hillary is a giver and obama is a taker.

hillary 2008

"The campaign said the records showed Bill and Hillary Clinton had paid more than $33.7 million in federal taxes on a joint income of $109 million and donated $10.2 million to charities over the past eight years."

How do you make $10 million a year on a $150,000 a year salary?

I suspect we'll find out shortly.

Who is paying the Clintons all this money? And Why?

Thank you Hillary and shame on you cnn for being so hard on her and so easy on Obama. If you all want obama to be president you need to start praying if you believe in God. I am not even a democrat, but if all of obama's supporters can't see all of the evil around him, you are not listening and reading enough about him. What happened to all of your values, love for God and your country? There is no church or pastor, priest, etc. anywhere that I am aware of in Mississippi who preaches so much hate and disgust for our country. No Godly man would do these things that Wright did at the pulpit. Christians are to put God first so ask yourselves where you stand ont he values of love for God, your family, church family and friends? I will pray for all of you who can't see what trouble and evil follows this man that you support. By the way, how often have you seen him look and make eye contact with anyone when he speaks? Scarey…Hillary, keep fighting and don't give up. The discretions that Hillary has experienced is in alot of households in this country, but I can't say the same for Obama's.

It is funny how Obama supporters are always complaining about something. Some say she released them too late. Now some are saying she release them too early. Obama supporters are getting more and more ridiculous.

Hillary never said she was a blue-collar worker. She said she's fighting for the blue-collar worker.

Deb in Indiana I am with you. They are not paupers and neither is Obama. I wish people would lighten up on the Clintons. She is the one running for president, not him. He has made a lot of money public speaking and writing books and we should leave at that.
I am impressed that they would give so much of their income to charities. They certainly did not have to.
A lot has been said about how the Clinton's have had to raise money and are still not coming up to the amount that Obama raises. I find it hard to believe that all that money he raises comes from SMALL donors on the internet. Just who is helping bankroll him???

Way-to-go Hillary. You kept your word. Clintons donating that much to charity is awesome. I can just see Obama getting jelous now and I can see his camp going through Clintons taxes with a fine toothed comb just trying, and trying to fish for attacks.

Donating 10% to charity when you still have 90 MILLION DOLLARS left is not such a big deal. Not that I disparage it — I am very grateful for the $10 million.

I just want to put it in perspective.

(I wonder whether the Clinton Library qualifies as a "charity" for this purpose?)

Wow! I knew the Clintons did a lot of charity but this is even more than I thought! Good for them. Actions are louder than words.

GOOD FOR YOU HILLARY!! You and Bill had to work hard to get to where you are. You are very educated people, well connected with "real life", community and the World. I am again proud of you and if I would have that money I would also had donated 10 million.

Ok all you criers. She did it. But of course it still doesn't make you happy. All you can do is intimate that it was gotten dishonestly. Give it up and let's see obama match this submission of his financial information. Thirty years worth! DROOL!!!

There is nothing wrong with working hard and making money. The Clintons gave a nice amount to charity!

Hillary 2008

good start . now where is 2007?

The only revealing thing from the returns is the amount of money at their disposal for paybacks, favors, and otherwise power to influence. I just hope the superdelagate's votes aren't bought.

Looks like NAFTA wasn't that bad for the Clintons. $6 million earned in Canada is a nice chunk of change.

Cnn How about a story on the Penn Lobbyist case?

Everyday that I turn on CNN and see Hillary, I get so happy. She's my hero. Also, I hope that more and more Obama supporter begin to be transformed by him and what he represents instead of always misdirecting their energies on Hillary.

Why do people hate and dislike so much? Why can't you just support your candidate without having to degrade the other? Humans are not very humane nor are they civilized. What happened to "do unto others as you would have them to unto you"? It's so sad that all of this bickering couldn't even come to a cease fire on this day.

I support one of these democrats but if my candidate does not win, I will still vote for whomever does win the nomination. Holding grudges and being bitter is just so ugly and unhealthy.

Start trying to be kinder to on another, stop with all the animosity.

Just VOTE!

Hey, Deb, IN – I thoroughly agree! I think those spewing are simply jealous of the Clintons. Keep in mind that neither one of them was born into wealth – congratulations to them for their hard work to get them where they are – fighting for those who have been less fortunate and need jobs, healthcare, education, etc. What they have given to charity is amazing!!! You know, it doesn't matter if some of Bill's income was for speeches – obviously people want to hear him speak! It doesn't matter if some of their income was from the books they wrote – people bought them!!! These two people have come a long way from Arkansas and illinois, but it was not handed to them – they worked for it!!! When I see the Obama income and their charity funding, it is mediocre!!! So……………….what else can one say? Go, Hillary!!!

Thank you Cnn for reporting on the Penn story. Poor Hillary, caught in another lie trying to get out of it with saying she had no knowledge of it and blaming on someone else. Just like your Bosnia story – when will the deceit stop.

By the way, how many poor people do you know who run for President? All of them are richer than we are, those who have been in office longer have just had more time to make the speech circuit and write books. I don't see any of Obama's supporters complain about how rich Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, or Oprah Winfrey are. Did anyone think they wouldn't show a lot of income!

I also see Hillary supporters here saying "who cares" about Clinton's library donors. I guess you're unaware that there were people who seem to have exchanged significant library donations for presidential pardons? If you don't care about that kind of a shady deal, then you probably shouldn't be voting…..

"Deb, IN" I agree!
I'm so tired of listening to the Obama chit chat. When I see the news channels interview Obama supporters it makes me sick. Some of his supporters are bigger haters than his preacher!!

Go Hillary!!

TEN MILLION DOLLARS TO CHARITY

THEY SURE DO UNDERSTAND THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSIBILITY OF TITHING.

AS CHRISTIANS, WE ARE ENCOURAGED TO GIVE 10 PERCENT TO CHARITY AS A WAY OF THANKING GOD FOR OUR BLESSINGS..

Politically calculated distraction incase s&*T happened, like that Penn guy and on MLK/Friday when no one is paying attention. I remember her doing the same when the Bosnia issue came around by mentioning Wright after she said it's not for her campaign to speak about.

She's a brilliant politician, but I don't want someone like this running our foreign affairs.

Richer than Bush! Are you kidding me? Bush was born with a silver spoon in his mouth! Former President Clinton grew up with very little. He studied worked hard and became one of the best Presidents this country has ever seen. Who cares how much money Bill and Hillary have? How are they any different than the other politicans in Washington? The Clintons have a history of working to make America a place to be proud. Democrats, wake up and realize what we are doing. It makes me sick to read all the hate being spewed by the supporters of both Clinton and Obama.

Hillary 08

Well if OBAMA was making 109 million am sure he will be making the same percentage in donation or even more. She should be donating more than 10%.

Steph in PA– last year the Obama's donated almost 25% of their income to charity. Check your facts before you post.

Here is the difference between Obama and Hillary. Obama is words and Hillary is action!!!

Way to go Clintons – you have lots of support down here in Florirda – many!!!!!

WHO CARES ! … ON TO PENNNSYLVANIA THE CONVENTION AND THE WHITE HOUSE. IF ONLY THE UNRELENTING PRESS WOULD LEAVE THE LADY ALONE…….WITH YOU ALL THE WAY HILLARY….

Sorry all you Obama folks, this will not cure the feeling of guilt. Hillary continues to show she is for real, not just a bunch of pretty speeches.

McCain lists his major sources of income as his Senate salary of $169,300

Senator Clinton's Senate Salary: $1,051,606

That doesn't look right – I have to do some research and get back on this one.

Are the Obamanics happy now? The Clintons have released more financial information than anyone in public office and they donated more to charity than anyone in their income bracket. These “pseudo-watch-dog" Obama supporters need to get over themselves. Let's see them publish 30 years of tax returns.

And, why do Obama supporter begrudge the fact that the Clintons made a lot of money. They came from nothing, worked very hard all their lives and became very successful. Isn't that every American's dream?? I think they do understand hard working people – blue collar, white color, any color collar.

I agree with Deb,IN………if I made that kind of money, I'd be on a beach somewhere. The Clintons really care about this country and feel they an make improvements for people trying to live the American dream.

This looks like a typical retired CEO of any big company. Bill deserves the golden Parachute. Just think what their income will be like if they get another 8 years in office. 100million in 8 years will seem like a drop in a bucket. The Rich keep getting richer.

What happened to all those deceased people that knew the Clintons from back in the Day. A pretty large list.

The reason it took so long was so her CPA's could fix the documents. Sad, but true.

She releases them and some of you are still trying to find fault. Let's see Obama release ALL of his too!

109 M $$$$$$$$$$$$$$??????????????

Ha ha….yeah….the Clintons have sacrificed so much, donating until all they have left is 90 million dollars. Such martyrs….

How much did Obama and McCain give to charity? How about some figures on them.
Thanks

The Clintons do not care about America…just like Bush didn't
NAFTA
COLOMBIAN TRADE DEAL

Yep, she's one of us.

break down her earnings by every minute of every single day. she's a hard working woman and certainly deserves every bit. i know in her heart she would love to give as much to the people she's working so hard to represent.

Is it a way to make us forget about the Penn scandal???

some hillary supported mentioned that obama gave only 1% to charity. please check the facts otherwise you show us a LIAR LIKE HILLARY . obama contributed $240,000 to charity from their 1 million income – that comes out to be 24%.

So… when does McCain join the party and release his tax info?

Now the earmarks!

Where's 2007's tax return? I'm sorry but a summary report just won't suffice. I really didn't expect to see the library donor list. A pattern of cherry picked truth continues. No change here.

I'm sure obama gives 10% to his church but not to charity. the church is in greater need of the money, than the poor(sarcasm, for those who don't get it)! she did what obama's camp has been crying about all along. she is as translucent as you can get in politics considering that the media and public know about all of her intimate details. the obama supporters can continue to say that obama is translucent but we don't know a thing about him, except he was a community organizer and he did well in his speech courses in his ivy league school!

Funny that with this much money this person STILL chooses to take attack after attack from the public as well as the media. You would think she would have kicked her ankles up on a beach like Obama did last week, huh?

This person still chooses public life and wants the opportunity to run this country to SUCCESS. This person still chooses to make everyone in the USA's life better. This person wants to give you universal healthcare and take care of the poor vets coming home from Iraq injured for life. This super-wealthy person is willing to haul her butt around small towns in the USA for hours on a BUS. This is called pure ambition and STRENGTH of character. HILLARY 08, no one is tougher!!

They are getting P-A-I-D!!!!!!

Thanks for disclosing them…I appreciate it!

Still will never vote for you since you voted for the WAR without reading the intelligence report…

BUT…

Its great that you are realeasing the tax returns..GOOD JOB!!

Ok ignorant people, I'm a blue colar worker and I look at it this way if I made over 100 million in the last 8 years and I'm in my 60's I would be on a permanent vacation. Not wasting my time running for public office.

Oh, unless I actually cared about helping the less fortunate get healthcare, better jobs, education and so on…………

You people are pathetic……if you had that kind of money I guarantee most of you would not donate 10million to charities.

Deb

You're so right and Hillary is most famous women in the world she don't need running for public office. unless reason you said .

They help poor and black people for their whole life see what's they got

I'm Asia -America

WOW – $ 109- MILLLION… no wonder she did not release them before
Ohio, and now releases them on friday. sneaky…

I'd like to see the income tax filings for the William M. Jefferson Foundation, which included enormous interational contributions in exchange for the ex-president's influence in business areas of other countries.

Clinton supporter:

"Also Obama people quit whinning.. They don't treat me right… Why did it take so long…. And Quit Lying.. how many bills was that you presented and authored in the 3 years you have been in the US SENATE not the I was here but didn't vote for anything hard in the Illinois Legislature?"

Can someone translate this into English?

thank god now all you obama kids can get back to the real issues at hand-and say a thank you to Hillary for giving so much money to charity!

Suck em dry Hillary lol!!!
Slurppp slurpppp slurppppppp

How much does a senator make?

I am interested to see what others say after they have time to really look everything over.

And Steph in Pa – Obama fans are not vile, hate spewing supporters. You should really watch the generalizations that you make.

You know, some of my best friends are rich. Just because they have money now doesn't mean they've forgotten what it is like to not have any. Does everyone remember the pictures of them in the 80's and 90's? Hillary went to college on a scholarship, her family wasn't rich. She has worked hard and devoted her life to public service.

This hate speech is just the Obama people trying to convince themselves that they are right… Unfortunately, they are wrong about the Clintons and wrong on how to change this country. We are all back in the playground at school, let's try and get along.

Thanks for reading.

Okay…Hillary's taxes are out for everyone to see…..Obama supporters should be happy….but they won't be ….nothing makes them happy

So now it's time for Obama to release the information he's been hiding:

Judicial Watch, a government transparency and litigation group that's received significant amounts of funding from conservatives, has questioned Obama's own willingness to pull back the curtain on his own records.

"It appears that Obama never kept records of his time in the Illinois state legislature, or he discarded them," wrote Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton in a recent newsletter. "Either way, he clearly intended to leave no paper trail."

Fitton said that his group has been seeking Obama's records from his time as state senator between 1996 and 2004, but so far it's come up empty.

No surprise that they have made so much money. However, since they left the WHITEHOUSE in the red, one has to wonder how they have upped their income so much in such a short time. Can you say illegal dealings?

Spin, spin, spin.

Now that Penn has put Clinton in the spotlight, her campaign is up to its old tricks. By releasing her taxes, they are trying to shift the public's attention from the mess her campaign is in.

The media should call Clinton to comments she made when the Canadians tried to help her by smearing Obama. At the time she said something about having serious issues had this happened within her campaign.

Releasing her tax returns on the same day, Penn, one of her cronies showed the American people once again how out of control and disconnected her political team is from her and her ideas and ideals, will not pull wool over our eyes. We know what the Clintons are about, and how they are masters of spin.

Any other president would have been impeached. Bill dodged the bullet only because of his professional spinners.

Enough is enough. Shame on you, Hillary Clinton.

Of course she released more than necessary…so as to offset the fact that she was extremely late in releasing them. DUH! I'm not gonna get nasty..but really, all the crazed Hillary supporters should reel in their tongues for a bit. We're all in the same party. Obviously I'm for Obama, but if Hilary gets the nomination, I will vote for her. As shady as her tactics have been..she's still far better than anything McCain has to offer (policy-wise). Let's keep some perspective here people!

Truth is Clinton is trying to be Blue Collar meanwhile she's loaded.

She just didn't want anyone to use it against her.

But I don't see why she was so secretive about it? Stupid, she breeds distrust for no reason.

I don't think any president should be in poverty. Ulysses Grant had to write a book just before he died so that he could leave something to his family.

I also don't think the American people should have to suffer over deals that he made while president in order to line his pockets.

The problem is when you don't have to worry about gas prices, or home prices–you are somewhat removed from everyday people. I think Obama has a real sense of the people. Much more than Hillary. She hasn't had to worry about the cost of living for awhile.

NOW OBAMA !!! HILARY RELEASED HEX TAXES TO THE PUBLIC, NOW MAYBE YOU CAN STOP BOTHERING HER ABOUT HER TAXES AND STOP YOUR CRYING ABOUT SHE HAD NOT RELEASED HER TAXES TO THE PUBLIC. THE WOMAN IS BUSY, SHE DOES NOT HAVE FREE TIME LIKE YOU TO BE ABLE TO TAKE A VACTION, DURING THIS POLITICAL BUSY TIME PERIOD.

Wait a minute–People are NOT going to vote for Hillary because she and Bill made lots of money? They made money AFTER being in national eye for 8 years–books, speaking engangements etc. If Obama becomes president he will become as rich or even richer for doing the same types of things. It's fine if you have a substantial reason for not liking Hillary but this fuss over her tax returns is silly. Of course she is wealthy–but she and Bill did not start out that way–they started with little money together in Arkansas. Dislike the Clintons if you will but have a good reason.

Thank you Hillary for donated 10% of your income. It showed thaty you really care about people.

The report from Clinton's camp states their income is 109,175,175. Then it attempts to break it down, but what they've listed only adds up to $94,162,063. So about 15 million of income is unaccounted. That is a huge chunk of change. If they truly want to be honest, they need to fully disclose how they made that other 15 million. Why the secrecy?

Quick, quick…release the tax returns…throw them all out there so people will stop think about Mr. Penn's NAFTA meeting with Columbia…

Hillary Clinton, "Champion of the Poor and Downtrodden."

Bet those Ohio voters are feelin' real smart right now.

Shocked to see this pathological woman laughing on national television last night about an outright lie to the American people.

She has no shame whatsoever, and I can only imagine what she will do next.

Now what we be great if Barry were to give half of the $40 million he raised last month to charity and that way both he and Hillary would have $20 million each – a fair playing field for the rest of the primaries.

However, Barry isn't much of a giver or he would have tithe to his church to carry on the work of liberating the Chicago poor!

Bozo's, there is still her 2007 taxes. They don't want to show that and also, there donors list. Why won't they show that. Obama did and you guys wanted to jump on him about Rezco. Look at the bigger picture. Back-door deals with Colombia, and lying making it look like Obama called Canada when it was actually Hillary who called. Business dealings in Canada and Mexico. Over 110 million dollars and only paid 37 million. Sounds like the Bush tax cuts to me. Obama only made 2 million in 7 years. Explain Bozo's.

OK, Next up:
"…if I were Hillary, I would've fire Penn for acting waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of line." This wasn't done by a friend of a friend. This is someone on her campaign. Why doesn't she just wise up and concede the Democrat nomination already? but noooooo, she has to keep going and going until the Democratic party's name is drug through the mud to lose the November election.
When she does lose the nomination, she'll just be pouting mad – just keep an eye out for her when close-ups are shown when she's back in the Senate. Cheaters never prosper. Go home Clintons, go home.

There's nothin' BLUE COLLAR' about $109M.

It's pretty easy to give 10% of your income when your making $100's of millions of dollars!!

Seriously, think about that folks. The POTUS makes a couple of hundred thousand dollars. A Senator makes somewhere around $150K.

HOW DID THEY MAKE $109 MILLION DOLLARS IN 8 YEARS, WHILE SHE WAS A SENATOR!!!!!!!!! THAT SEAMS LIKE A LOT OF SPEAKING FEES!!!

Deb, IN – maybe that is why you don't have that kind of money. So I guess Bush really cares about the common person as well. He is filthy rich too.

$109 million is 8 years! Seriously, nobody can make that kind of money from speaking engagements and book deals alone.

.
Go Hillary …you put them to same again. Obama should show his 2007 Tax return. Hope Jack will give this attention because all he is interested is negative about Hillary. I am sure Jack and his follow Obama pay check earning Journalist will be disappointed.

Haruna
Newark, Delaware

I don't think its anybody's business what kind of money the Clintons made. The only thing that should have been released was that she had filed her tax returns. Why should everybody know what their income is and what they have spent. I don't like america's democracy at all. It does invade peoples privavcy. I don't care if you are running for public office…the only things that should have been released is that she had filed her returns. That's all thats needed to ne known.

Hillary released her tax returns but did'nt release her 2007 return as she promised. The 2007 tax return is the one that people were more concerned with, to find where their donations from overseas came from.

Everytime I think that just maybe I'd be able to support Obama if he gets the nomination, I read the vile hatred that his supporters spew forth about the entire Clinton family., I realize that no matter what, I can't vote for Obama. Maybe I'l stay home, vote Green or Republican, I don't know. But birds of a feather, flock together, and I want no part of a party that has such hatred in it. Hillary has had over 14 million people vote for her. Why would you want to alienate so many dems that you will need in Nov.? You've united me out of the party.

PERSONALLY I THINK IT SAYS A LOT THAT THESE TWO PEOPLE WHO COULD EASILY BE RELAXING AND ENJOYING THEIR TIME HAVE CHOSEN INSTEAD TO WORK FOR THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA.
HE DIDN'T NEED TO GO TO NEW ORLEANS LAST MONTH AND DIG DIRT FOR STARTING HOMES AFTER KATRINA….
THAT SAYS MORE TO ME THAN ANYTHING.

Hillary doesn't have to be on the road every single day…
she chooses to be.

I am dead serious when I say this….
she is the best qualified candidate for this JOB.
And if you would take the time to research, you could see that for yourselves.

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS BY FAR THE MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE…JUST WATCH HER ON "MAD MONEY" AND
SHE WILL BLOW YOU AWAY……TIME TO GET REAL EVERYONE!
THIS IS SERIOUS – IT IS NOT A GAME.

$109 million – She is for the working man….. yeah right…..

Some of you people need to learn how to read. Yes she and Bill have made a lot of money, but they have also written 4 books that have totaled over 40 million dollars. Plus for the person who questioned why they aren't doing more like Bill Gates and Oprah, giving 10 million dollars is a lot, more than the listed 3.1%, in fact 3 times more. Plus, if you read that paragraph it clearly mentions the Clinton Foundation, which is a charity that deals with global issues that they founded, so it isn't like they are keeping all of the money they make to themselves. Just because you may be jealous or just rude, it doesn't mean that you have to bash a person for making money or being successful. Whenever Hillary Clinton releases whatever it is that people ask her to or complain about her not doing, whether papers about being first lady or her taxes, which she didn't even need to do, people just seem to pick it apart, so why would she want to comply with people's wishes. At least she has papers to release that lists her history and what she has done and has accomplished, unlike her opponent who just says whatever and people believe. For those who say how can she consider herself to be in the same category as blue collar workers- it isn't like she started out with millions. People need to stop criticizing every little thing Hillary says or does and realize that it is abut the issues and what each candidate can do to make America better. Even though I am a young voter, even I realize that hope can only get you so far- It is about action, and it seems that Obama's actions are more follow the leader. It doesn't take a genius to just repeat whatever it is that your opponent says.

Obama is just talk he need to know how to walk.

2007 tax estimate only.

whats that all about?

Thats not releasing the facts of 2007 of where they got their money for that year.

Hey Barack… Thanks for releasing your 2006 returns…why aren't you releasing your 2007 income taxes?

Does obama have dealing with people who have investments in the cayman islands? NO!

will i hope everyone is happy now. so how much did you learn. hell we all new they was rich. you people that are clinton haters well always find something to cry about. you just can't stand that they have done something with their lives and you just set on you back ends and cry. go hillary for president

I see why the Clintons are fighting for this nomination. There is a world of opportunities after leaving the white house.

DON'T BE FOOLED PEOPLE. THEY PROMISED TO RELEASE THE 2007 TAX RETURN AND THEY HAVEN'T. WHERE IS THE 2007 TAX RETURN HILIARY?

Sure, Hillary Clinton has released more financial information than her opponents. She and Bill have made an unprecedented amount of money, more than Obama or McCain. Were the Clinton charity contributions funneled through Bill's Foundation or Library? If not,, where did $10 million for charity go? And how did her ghost-written two books make over $10 million? Are there publishers' records of how many copies were sold? No one I know, and many are Hillary supporters, bought either book. Anyway, let the scrutiny begin.

And her 2007 returns, which were promised and are most relevant to her campaign, are where?

108.5 million dollar income increase. Confirms my suspicions there's a lot of favors that have to be returned.

Well, that's 108 million more than Obama has, she's winning at something. Go home and knit Hillary, you've made enough money, relax.

Obama 08

Amazing! And they had to set up a Legal Fund to solicit donations because "Ken Starr was driving them into bankruptcy"! Not bad for folks that have been on the public payroll all their lives.

Oh well, they still don't have enough to buy this election!

Interesting in the dishonest politics of the Clinton's. Now they are withholding information on their tax returns and looking for an extension. Very interesting!!!! It appears to me that we have the same nonsense that we have had the past eight years. Steph in Pa – you haven't stayed tuned in very well – I understand there are some audit reviewers quite angry with the Clinton's holding back important details as to business partnerships. Very, very curious.

None of this matters because the 2007 return that they have NOT released will show the worst of the secrets. The 2007 return will show the BIG dirty dealings with foreign interests.

Billary -release the 2007 return and library donor list NOW!

bill in houston April 4th, 2008 4:12 pm ET

"Clinton is a lying two faced big business advocate"

Hate to break this to you Bill, but big business is the reason that we have a high standard of living in this country. Most people work for a big corporation, and even if you don't the money that ordinary workers from these companies make and spend is what makes the economy function. I am tired of people painting corporations as these evil things. We would be in big trouble without them.

I guess Bill and Hillary will hire blue collar workers to work on their lawn. They do not relate at ALL. 109 Million friggin dollars. And they are trying to tout how much they gave to charity? They netted 57 Million bucks. When 1 million per year will allow you to live lavishly. These rich people who think they are entitled to everything make me sick. THey have money, now they want power..no scratch that..MORE POWER. Its not like they didnt already have 8 years of power to do what ever it is they are promising. Did the improve public schools in 8 years? NO..did they fix health care in 8 years.NO..but they want another 8 years. GIVE ME A BREAK. BILL..YOURE THE BIGGEST FAIRY TALE OUT THERE.

.
Go Hillary …you put them to shame again. Obama should show his 2007 Tax return. Hope Jack will give this attention because all he is interested is negative about Hillary. I am sure Jack and his follow Obama pay check earner will be disappointed.

Obama made a lot of money right after getting in to the U.S. congress. He bought 1.2 million dollar home in Chicago and again bought more land next to the property for a big change. Where did he get the money?

When I supported Hillary, I had no doubt that they have made money, but when Obama comes in and says "change" with his millions and have all old washington people backing him up that is when it gets annoying.

109 Million! WOW!. How can Clinton relate to the working poor.

Actually, it's "grammar," not "grammer." Also, i went back and looked through the comments on this thread; the vast majority of the all-cap posters were anti-Hillary.

But keep making stuff up, Skippy; liberals are good at that.

*Lift the ban on the third term! Bush/Cheney '08!*

More questions then answers!

FYI –

Deb in Indiana….I make waaaaay less then that and I give 20% every year since I left college and got a job. Speak for yourself when it comes to helping the poor because I would even with 100M.

Are the staunch Clinton-Haters forgetting that the '30 years' comment comes from the fact that they previously released (BEFORE 2000-2006 tax period) their earlier tax records and ALREADY had released more personal financial information than any other candidate. So 'check' your own math.

And to all the people acting like Obama is so much closer to earth because he made less — OBAMA IS STILL A MILLIONAIRE (is this thing on)? He is rich and has been well off for most of his adult life (post Harvard), he has no more claim to 'common folk' than anyone else.

that said -

OBAMA 08!!!!!

Go Hillary …you put them to same again. Obama should show his 2007 Tax return. Hope Jack will give this attention because all he is interested is negative about Hillary. I am sure Jack and his follow Obama pay check earner will be disappointed.

As an American I am still constantly surprised how naive Americans are. Reading the infantile perspectives of all these posts reinforces my wish for citizen testing for everyone. Failure of the test would result in loss of American citizenship.

The Democrats could have had this election handed to them on a platter but the innate divisiveness and petty hatred of their own self-absorbed members threatens to sabotage it. Either Obama or Clinton would do a good job.

Steph in Pa

Senator Obama has two small children!!!

No wonder why that the Clintons are fighting to get the nominations. There are world of opportunities after leaving office.

hey mark penn may be you can help spend 109 million on drugs when you decide to open free trade with columbia. HHHHHMMMM what does columbia have that they want. I am gonna bet it is not coffee

No wonder she's fighting so hard to get back into the White House, it's been good to them.

To the Obama Camp and supporters; SHUT-UP ALREADY!

As the article says: “The Clintons have now made public thirty years of tax returns, a record matched by few people in public service,” “None of Hillary Clinton's presidential opponents have revealed anything close to this amount of personal financial information.”

Whether you make $109,million or $109,K How many of you idiots have such a record.

Never mind tax returns, eventually it gets done and paid………Obama suppoters should worry about a church that teaches it's fowollers hate and racisim. For that matter how many more churches are out there with a Rev. Wright at the pulpit. THAT IS MORE SERIOUS.

How can someone who makes that kind of money even begin to understand what it is like to struggle with day to day living?

And by the way, where are their returns from 2007? That is what everyone was waiting to see. That's where the dirt is. Can anyone say "extension?"

Bill give us the donors for your library and how you, and Hillary made such amount of money…What of 2007 returns?

The list of major donors to the Clinton Presidential Library has yet to be released.

HAHAHAHAHA…..How convenient !!!

THIS WILL NOT POST. I AM SURE OF IT.

I defiantly am not a fan of FOX NEWS, but I just finished taking a look at their blogs and was surprised by their civility.

PLEASE stop fighting! Please. We have far much more in common than we have differences. Please. We have to come together for this nation. We know that the issues are very similar so STOP IT. We are behaving like spoiled little brats, or Yankees vs. Red Sox. If we can not find end roads between us their will be a split within the party so deep we will feel it for an entire generation.

So what was the delay in the first place? She could avoided this whole thing had she just released these earlier.

she is is dirty politician with a dirty mind. GO AWAY………pls ……..I can see you no more…..

I don't get Obama supporters. Why are you so bitter and spiteful? There is a collective immaturity seen in Obama supporter posts. I don't get it. I am a loyal Clinton supporter, but I don't bash Obama. And, I will support him if he turns out to be the nominee. These are too very good people (candidates) who each deserve respect. It is disappointing to hear such negativity coming from fellow Democrats.

Regarding the Clinton tax returns, I am even more impressed by their putting their money where their mouth is in giving over $10 million to charities. Awesome!

Hey all the haters,

If you really have problem with people earning more money than you, then you should look at all the US executives who earns several times in one year more than Bill and Hillary just in six year. 109 million is 6 years' income; and those Wall Street CEOs' earn 500 million in ONE YEAR.

If you want to do sth about the inequility, please never vote for the Republican who are the protectors of the Wall Street CEOs.

Nice try Hillary …. we wont forget your Cheif Strategit is pro-Nafta….

You know what they say you tell a lot by the company you keep. .. or in this case hire.

I think you just did yourself a great "mis-service". Do you really believe all the people (read: zealots) on the blogs are not going to analyze your retruns and post any tidbit that is news worthy …. which some news org will pick up and run with after which it will spread to every channel and paper.

Releasing potentially damaging info is so 1970. You are really out of touch… your time is gone …..

To all you pro-Obama anti Hillary people, you people have been saying bad things about Hillary in the past for not releasing her tax returns. Now Hillary released her tax returns and it has proven to you all that she is cleaned. She and Bill earned most of their money from their books. Hillary made $10 million from her book "Living History" and she donated all of the earnings from her second book "It Takes A Village" to charity… I am deeply move by her generousity. The 5 million she loaned to her campaign is from her own hard earned money. So, you have falsely attacked a very honorable candidate, Hillary. Shame on you Obamabots!!!

Now Obama, release all your real estate deals with Rezco. How did you pay for the house and the extra lans, funded by what or by whom? Was there any quid pro quo between you and Rezco. Questions! Questions!

What exactly did you hear Pastor Wright say? Why did you expose your two girls all their lives to this anti-American, racist man?

Questions! Questions that the media never asks! They have now become a pathetic bunch of your cool-aid drinkers, so please, let me the small person ask you myself because I just have to know before this fall. It is imperative that I do!

$52,000,000 from making speeches. It is pay back time for doing favours to the special interest groups and corporations while he was in office. He is as corrupt as the leaders in the 3rd world countries!

boosk, Utah

Go girl! Smarts=compensation. GW's dad borrowed all the money for him to blow in business deals gone bad–just like his administration. Hillary '08!

She'll need a Poverty Czar, just to find the people she never acknowledges, unless she's on the campaign trail.

0BAMA NEEDS TO RELEASE:

REZKO FUNDRAISING DONOR LIST–FUNDERAISNG HE DID FOR OBAMA AS STATE SENATOR!

OBAMA AND REZKO PROJECTS FILES, LIST AND BILLING STATEMENTS! —– OBAMA SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT REZKO'S TENANTS LIVED IN A SLUM

STATE SENATE RECORDS!

20 YEARS TAX RETURNS!

QUOTE FROM POLITICO

"…It doesn’t include any cash Rezko raised for the Illinois state legislative campaigns of Obama, now a U.S. senator running for president, nor does it include all contributions made to Obama’s federal races by Rezko-linked donors…"

JUDICIAL WATCH IS ON THE CASE!

33 Million dollars in TAXES??
I will officially quit compaining about the two grand that just came out of my bonus check. (and be thankful that I get a bonus check!)
If anyone can complain about how our tax dollars are spent, I think those two can sit soundly at the top of the list!

And for those who think you can't have money and speak for the "poor", get real. And if you think Obama wouldn't command the same amount on a speaking tour after he leaves politics then you're delusional. Heck he wrote one book then bought a million dollar home. Hellloooo….Beuller?

TIMING:

PERFECT TO DISTRACT FROM THE PENN SCANDAL.

Another thing why are the Clintons & McCain wooing the blacks where Dr. King got shot. Why weren’t they there long before now. It's really said to see the people can only do something for blacks when they need their votes and when they get into office they go right back to doing Washington as usual.

Shame on you Hillary & McCain, Shame on you…

What will Obama focus on now……..for weeks he has been raving about her tax returns. well now they are out there…plus the 2007 ones.

Also why did the newsweek article comparing Clinton and Obamas records not make more headlines…..oh yeah CNN is pro-Obama.

Go Hillary!

Are you people completely dimwitted and without gray matter. Bill Clinton is an ex-president. He makes tons of money just talking!

Lets talk about obama dropping in the polls
Young mothers being punished with a baby
His gun control flip flop
War flip flop
Nafta Flip flop
No wonder he votes present
obama talks of a new nation…………………..
how is he going to get all his nasty supporters to change
this is such a joke

a mere $14 million per year .. does NYS pay her that much?

I KNOW .. Bill earns SOME of it.. or MOST of it..

40 years ago MLK was murdered. Today we honor his memory and his legacy. I don't think timing the release of HRC's tax returns today serves his memory.

Hillary get it together. BTW get rid of Penn while you are at it. He lost the election for you anyway. This broke it for me.

Obama all the way.

51 Million dollars for SPEECHES??? More like pay offs in diguise for favors done while he was president. From a moderate Arkansan to a 109 million dollar family…something funny about that.
Perfect timing though to distract us from Mark Penn and his Columbian dealings (no pun intended). Like HRC said there are no such thing as pledged delegates so…Ohio delegates can change their mind in light of NAFTA in Canada and Columbia revelation.
At this point only a stupid person would vote for this manipulative lady.

what about list of presidential library donors. Why must you wait to be pressured to realease them? MARK PENN !!!!!!!!!!1

I wish I could make 109 Million and still think I could speak for the blue collar worker. How about this? I will switch jobs with her and let her understand reality. Didn't think so. She has lost my vote!!!

Hillary is who I want running things, easy to see why she is confident!!!!

Idiots, they have already released taxes in the past ,for a total of 30 years. These are the last of their returns. What do you think Bill makes for a speaking engagement? How about the books they have written. Think they didn't get paid for thoses? they have given more to charity then the precious Obama.

I'm for Obama and i'm not going to whine or cry but I would like their job. I figured she would eventually put them out there. Please stop comparing apples to oranges when it comes to the charity issue. If I was bring in 109M in seven years you can best believe I will give 10% of my income. People tend to forget that you can claim your charity on your taxes…they got most of that money back from the federal and state government. What I would like to see is their investments (since they're not included in the nifty little breakdown they provided) and since I can't see the returns here…i'm going to join HRC site to pull them up.

One Love

Gee, thanks Hillary, now what about the Clinton Library donors, hmmm?

Someone post the a link to the Penn story you are speaking of. I am already unsure of Hillary as her lies are overwhelming and she keeps getting caught in more. I think she learned well from former Pres. Clinton. Wake up America…I am believing this lady is quite vicious and definitely her agenda is divisive for this country.

Go ahead Obama`s supporters …do you dirty homework…

As an older, seasoned, white woman with little to live on each day, I feel so disturbed that Hillary lied and told me that she could relate to my pain and know what it feels like to work hard just to get by. I am going to switch my vote to Obama, because his wife, Michelle, seems like a nice young lady, and she came from the south side of Chicago, which was/is a very poor area. Maybe Obama can relate to what I am going through. Maybe this hope and change is something I can believe in.

obama talks of a new nation…………………..
how is he going to get all his nasty supporters to change
this is such a joke

I agree with you, Deb . To be honest with you I wouldn't do what she is doing. She is an amazing woman. I don't know whers she gets the strength to continue this fight for the nomination.
She's the best .She will be the best President this country has ever had! She doesn't need to go through all this aggravation.
Is there a conspiracy on MSNBC against the Clintons. Chris Matthews ought to fired! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To cover the Mark Penn Issue.
MANIPULATIVE

The speeches Bill gives, are a lot of times, to large companies and corporations that pay him big bucks to speak. What if some of the things Bill had done in the past to favor these businesses and they are paying him back for a "speech" later on. Just a few days ago it was said that Bill has made close to 50 million on speeches alone. Wonder what great companies and corporations he spoke to?

I have told Obama people over and over that the Clintons were known for donating millions to charities and churches. Now the proof is in the pudding.

Obama did questionable real estate deals with slumlord Rezko while the Clintons donate millions to causes.

Obama hardly votes in the senate and has a very poor voting record for his attendance. Hillary three days after becoming first lady started working on healthcare.

Obama people need to wake up to reality!

To be exact!!

Obama and Michelle made $1 Million in 2006 with most of it coming from the sale of his book, Audacity of Hope.

The Obama's gave a total of $204,000 in 2006. Clinton supporters–I'll let you do the math.

The Clintons' donations were over a span of 8 years!! That's Nothing!!!

How can Clintons say they 're for the poor…look at such amount of money they made—wake up America….this family is for deceit…..

iS IT the 'LIQUID PAPER PARTY'

Haha….the Clintons believes are supporters are zombies….and the Clintons might be right.

Just reading what they post here proves her right.

oh god, now what are obama and cnn going to wine about? well, guys lets hear it. gee, did she make too much? or maybe there is a payment you don't agree with. well, lets go! we are ready for all you got. hey, wht don't you fight didty. oh now wait, you already did that. i have to think about this one.

Hello America, she can pay for her own selfish campaign. I would feel really used if I were a Clinton supporter–hiking around for this multi-millionaire wannabe prez.

Yes, what do you get for the woman who has everything, I know the presidency.

Are you all blind?

Where did the money come from? Well it says right there: books, speaking, senate income, and presidential pension…

How is it 30 years of tax returns? Well the public already has 1993-2000 and many years before that that were released when Bill ran for president.

I dont support Obama or Clinton anymore, but stop being fools. So she made a lot of money, but she gave away 10% of her income. How many of you consistently do that? Stop trying to find everything, wether it be real or fictional (which a lot of your claims in the comments are well…fictional), to attack her with.

Show me your tax returns now.

All those people scoffing where they earned so much from public service!, see they earned almost all from speeches and their books and not tax payers! Make constructive comments with some substance. M
P.S I am not supporting either one.

Now all you Hillary haters can just shut up and let the Senator run a proper campaign without all these whining distractions!

A large % of Obama's donations went to Mr. Wright at the Trinity Church. So you could say that Obama help spread words of hate, and showed toleration for anti- American actions. Open your eyes america!

Releasing returns on a Friday afternoon on a day the nation is remembering Martin Luther King Junior? 109 million? Who does she think she is fooling?

Are American women that silly to want this person in office. She is just like Bush in a skirt (I mean pantsuit).

I can't believe people would actually vote mccain over obama. He is the same as bush and the country will continue to plummet.

ps the Bosnia sniper joke was sick. how can you joke about something like that when thousands of troops are facint that daily.

sit down Billery and go take your meds. And I'm sure the returns are faulty anyways. Liars.

Hillary no matter what you do, cnn and al tje pondants have this Election sewn for Obama. Poor Obama they will lift you up, and when they are ready to make you fall watch out you will fall "" BIG " . Hillary don't back down, keep doing what your'e doing, remember McCain they wrote him off, now look.
Let them keep making Obama the poster boy, his fall unfortunately will be that much bigger.
Go Hillary 08

I hate her more than anybody. she releases her tax returns now to distract the attention from Penn controversy. you can not be more deceitful that this. she has been beating around the bush for this date. she chooses to release them now…..man….I am done with this woman..Do we all look like bunch of ignorant fools to you,,,,,,,,

I wished hillary had done so earlier, if for no other reason then to shut OBAMA and CNN up !!!! Funny, how Hillary ONLY get negitive press while Obama ONLY gets positive press. No scandles, no worng doings have been PROVEN on Hillary and they HAVE been on Obama and yet HIS skelatons are always over looked and swept under the media carpet. Do all of you fools not see ?? It is well known fact that the vast majority of the MEDIA is Republican. Of course they are pushing for Obama, they KNOW Mccain WILL beat him and that McCain can NOT beat Hillary. Just wait and see.

Think maybe shes trying to distract CNN from this…
Hillary Campaign Busted: Colombia NAFTA Scandal Brewing; KathyM, Fri Apr 04, 2008 at 10:55:14 AM EST.
Where are they getting their kickbacks from, errrr I mean who is the financial genius in that family? Between the two of them they had an annual salary of 348,700 and they were able to turn that into 109 million. BRILLIANT!!!

Lets see if I donate 10% of my salary that puts me below the poverty line….Clinton donates 10% and she still has 90 million plus to play with and all of a sudden she's this great humanitarian……I think a lot of people fail to realize that charitable donations are tax write-offs…..I still don't trust Clinton, even if you release all of your information unaltered, you still are a liar, double-talking, oily, spoiled, and arrogant.

Oh and all you Hillary and Obama supporters keep taking shots at one another and continue to eat each other alive……McCain 2008!!!!!!

Just in case you wanted to know, It is reported that Obama gave over 240,000 to charity last year

NOW OBAMA SUPPORTERS
LETS MOVE ON TO THE REAL ISSUES???
HILLARY IS A PROUD AMERICAN
AND IS RUNNING TO OUR COUNTRY BACK IN ORDER
SHE DOESNT NEED TO DO THIS
BUT SHE WANTS TO HELP THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
SO EVERYONE NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND THINK
ABOUT THE CHOICES WE AS AMERICANS ARE GOING TO MAKE
LETS VOTE FOR HILLARY AND GET IT DONE

HILLARY '08

enron fuzzy math accounting… lets get to digging for those 1 million dollar speches in Arabia bill list that! its on now!!

Hillary is no longer relevant.

How much of the 10 million charity was flipped into the Clintion library as a tax-exempt donation? It's called tax avoidance…with perks!

C'mon now…it's the Clintons!!!

$109 million… I wonder how all the Ohio voters are feeling now… Duped?

I want to be like Bill and Hill when I grow up.

whoa, what a distration from the mark Penn issue. well with time we all will know if she do not ( mis-speak) doctored the tax returns.

This was Hillary's last best get out of jail free card to Distract from the Penn scandal. It makes cents…

At long last….funny, at 109 million dollars..i should trust her to know what's best for the everyday american?

Holy cats!! $109 million?
No wonder the Clintons are so completely out of touch with normal every day Americans.
How can you possibly thing Hillary will fight for the average guy?
She'll never fight for the working person and struggling family.

Yes, she really cares about the high cost of living for us all–NOT.

The only reason she gives to charity is to look good. She couldn't care less about people.

Obama 08

How did they make such enornous money?…..What 're they doing and what transactions 're they into…the public serves to know?….Where is 2007 tax returns? I hope CNN will continue this news next week and analysis the tax returns..

109 million no wonder you did not want to release them because your crooked!!! the love of money and lies….but you make your supporters pay for your campaign blue collar workers….and i bet you will reburse the 5million of your own money that you put from the people donations made to you. i am sorry i am a blue collar worker i can't relate to you any more hillary!!! say good by to my vote.

These are some deluded Hillary campaigners. Barack Obama cannot release as much tax returns as Hillary…Because he's 20 years younger!!!!

Alright, Hillary just did what everyone else did 4 months ago, or earlier. And she did it on a day of rememberance/friday afternoon, with a jab at Obama, and to obscure a Penn scandal.

Let's be fair though: She should not release anything else until Obama does.

Obama released his earmarks a while ago. Hillary show us those earmarks.

Oh, if is Monday morning is bad,,, if is Friday after 4 they are hiding something… Who cares, for so many days pressuring to release the returns and now this?

You OBAMA supporters are insane!!!!

I feel the party was hijacked by a NUT-HOSPITAL… Stop Obama supporters or he will not have a chance in November if you people continue this insane venture of vial hate…

seek help is called OBS…

How can someone so awash in cash can EVER know how an average income person survives?

Folks, do not contribute to her campaign. She can run her own show.

No what? that is the question to Obama's blind supporters. Some of you said Clintn made money from speech. Well, Karl Rove even makes money from speech. I hink Obama also makes money from speech, but I am not sure. By the way, he is trying to become the president of the US by selling his speech!!

Ummm, why are HRC supporters so inspired that she released the same tax records that all the Democratic nominess (even Dennis Kucinich for Lord's sake!) released long ago? I'm not trying to be mean to her – honestly – but I see people on this site talking about how proud they are of her now. She waited longer than anyone else and then, bowing to pressure, released records. That's good that she did so. It's not what I think anyone would call inspiring.

P.S. Has anyone verified how much she spent on flak-jackets?

Yes, Hillary, you are amazing. We can not see even a little bit positive things about you here in any media. But you still tie with the media Darling Mr. Obama.

What that mean?

That means we people do not believe what they are talking about.

That means people need you !

Please go on and on and on !!!!!

Thank you

i wonder how long Billary will be receiving kickbacks (I mean paid speaking engagements) from the special interest groups.

Whoops! I didnt read that carefully enough.

Where are the 2007 returns? Maybe something in there we shouldnt see?

the main questions to be analyzed are:

1) The list of final payers for Bill speaches (nearly half of the total)

2) The detail of the remaing $ 15,000,000 not

3) When the List of Donors for the Library becomes finally available.
WHEN ?

ALBO.

I wonder if that kind of income means you are least likely to be influenced by lobbyist or because you’re accustomed to it, you are inclined to receive more benefits. Either way it’s hard for me to imagine how she can relate to people in the poverty level or just struggling to make it from pay check to pay check.

The Obama's gave 25% of their income to charity, and their income was MUCH less than this. The Clintons giving 10% is still admirable, but if I were Clinton supporters I wouldn't crow about it too much, "Widow's Mite" and all…

I think the Mark Penn meeting is a much more important story than the tax returns, and that the media needs to do a better job at investigating and reporting on the impact of Mark Penn's meeting in Colombia to promote free trade (a stance Hillary disagrees with…..as far as we know!) After all, he is Hillary Clinton's Chief Campaign Strategist — sheesh!

And this is why i HATE obamanites…for months they've been screaming "release your taxes." And now that she released them (in great detail) , they are complaining about her income. The Clintons got their money from speeches and book deals!!! CAN YOU READ???? Also, the article said that they have released a total of 30yrs of tax info SO FAR…Not today. You people are a bunch of ungrateful idiots!!!

Oh my God. The Clintons are very rich. How can they represent the ordinary Americans?

Good Job Hillary!! You will be a good president. First thought about Obama, but he is 'too star struck', liking to be in the news a little too much. Not good for a president.

We are now for CLINTON!

Bill's pension is 1.2 million! Who decides these things? Why should he get over a million dollars a year to not work?

Another reason not to trust the Washington insiders…

Bill gets paid somewhere from 150,000 to 200,000 dollars per speech.

Good lord!

sherrie50 April 4th, 2008 4:18 pm ET

At least they gave to charity. What has Obama given to improve lives of Americans, probably minimal.

Sherrie, Just because Obama did not go to work for corporate america he gave a larger percentage of his income to charity than the Clintons. He could've very easily sold his soul to big businesses just like the Clintons and have income over 13M plus each year.

I can't believe that there are still people out there that actually think Hillary is going to win this! This is hilarious.

I'm a die hard Barack Obama supporter. My view of the Clintons is in no way degraded anymore than it already is just because of the tax returns. Unless there is something they are hiding, I really don't know. From the looks of things, the Clinton's tax returns reveal nothing more than the fact she and Bill paid their taxes and made a hell of a lot of money by doing speeches and sellilng books–Oh, yes, perhaps Walmart stock too. This is perfectly legal, unless we find out they are involved in some Cayman Island scheme. Who knows.

I don't see how Hillary Clinton's tax return has anything to do with how good of a president she will be. Call me crazy but I thought it had something to do with experience, education, insight, wisdom, compasion and moderation. Go figure that the American society would put a Money Mark on it.

Lets talk about obama dropping in the polls
Young mothers being punished with a baby
His gun control flip flop
War flip flop
Nafta Flip flop
No wonder he votes present

Hillarlies all of it. And these so called sisters stand behind it. I guess a lot can fit behind the "buttress"

to Steph in Pa

Don't you know that you can detract charity on your taxes? then…where is going this charity? to her library?

thank God this is over with!! The Obama camp can shut up and focus on the fact that he will never win a race against McCain!!!! I can care less about hilliarys taxes!! What does it have to do with running this country. Go Hilliary!!!!! We need someone that can win those electoral states and clearly Obama CAN:T!!!

This answer is for Matthew:
"Did her campaign just say 30 years of tax returns:

Hillary Clinton released her tax returns for the years 2000 to 2006 late Friday afternoon, ending weeks of speculation over her delay in making them public.

They obviously can't count too well. See delegate math as well."

How old are you? The Clintons released there tax returns before the 8 years in the White House, during and after….now 30 years of return. Get it????

Donations to charities are tax-deductible…duh

But seriously, who cares about any of this. She needs to drop out of the race already to unite our party. DEMOCRATS UNITE NOW!!!!

Otherwise we'll have 4 years of McBush in the white house…"Using the same failed policies for over 8 years"

10 million in charity….is tax avoidance people. Rich people HAVE to spend a certain amount to avoid the IRS taking it. I would bet you that most of the charities include a former client (under the table money with future benefits) or their own sponcered charity.

Obama supporters idiots, read the above information and you will see where the money come from, Book sales , speches and salaries, so don't be stupid and look for something that do not exist. A least they don't buy houses with criminals.
HILLARY ALL THE WAY FOR PRESIDENT 2008!!!!
WE WILL GET STRONGER AAND SHE WILL WIN THIS ELECTION.
ALL HILLARY SUPPORTERS START TO SEND MONEY FOR HER CAMPAIGN NOW!!!!!!

Anyone living in the USA who still believes that any politician is not making money hand over fist is living in the past. Obama lives in a multimillion $ house in Chicago but nobody is freaking out over that. How does that make him a normal bule collar guy?
Like it or not Hillary is rich…get over it.
How much $ does George Bush have/make? It is much more than you think but he will never have to tell…an he will go down in history as ruining this country.

Hillary 08

Lol the Hillary fan club on here are so funny. Hello Obama didn't make nowhere near that much and he donated a higher percent of his income to charity then the Clintons. How can some one who makes that much these days honestly say they know how the average American feels? Oh and by the way he released his right when the Right wing Republican Clinton camp called for him to. I also wonder whats in the rest of her 1st lady papers and who donated to Bills library. Apparently words are very important and expensive in the world of the Clintons. All you HILLBILLY
supporters need to grow up and stop crying so much. Only non true Democrats support someone who chooses the Republican nominee over their own party nominee. The 44th President will be Barack Obama.

Obama 2008
YES HE WILL!

Wow! Its utterly amazing how nasty we can get! Hillary did what was asked! It is not set time for when the tax returns should be released so she did it! Im not surprised at all about the amount! Presidents do get pensions and they are a famous couple so Im not surprised! but the nasty remarks coming from both sides show how dumb this whole thing is getting! Clinton nor Obama would be satisfied with the comments made on this blog! Neither can we blame any of them for the vicious rants of some of your guys! Grow up people this is an election not a reality show!!

Nice work if you can get it! Whooo! What I would do if I had me $100M….I guess I am in the wrong business.

I'm just sayin…

Obama '08, '12

LETS SEE, $100,000,000 INCOME FROM A SALARY AND PAID THE 10% THAT IS MAX. DEDUCTIBLE UNDER THE LAW OR $10,000,000. wonder who all those people were that gave clintons $100,000,000–like some kind of Gate???

TYPICAL –

FOR YOU MORONS looking for details, why not click the link provided or are you too blinded by your hate to see?

You people are bunch of sicko's who continue to attack attack attack. Why dont you disclose your tax records, why not even offer yourself up for an audit if you are so high and mighty?

I am sure 1 letter from the IRS will send you spinning.

For those with Obama/Richardson as their choice, get a clue -

She finally releases this info for all of you whining about it for weeks and all you can do is whine some more. Not one single other candidate has released this much info about anything. BE SURE to check out the charitable donations. That is truly impressive!!!

And you thought she didn't care…………………….YOU GO, GIRL!!

Yes, but why was she taking so long to release them? You can't expect this stunt to exonerate her just yet.

Hillarry all the way, i think you should know that, she only has her taxes from 2000- 2006 not for 30 years like her campaign claims.Moreso,i think you clintonites, should read properply before posting: not to worry you guys are illitrates.

I just got to say you guy, all you guy’s supports of either Clinton or Obama make parents at their kid’s soccer game look good, heck you make European soccer fans look good.

P.S. sorry if I have offended any soccer parents out there who do conduct themselves like adults, I unintentionally lumped you in with the rest. European soccer fans I am not so sorry if I offended you.

"$109 Million in income! The Clinton's haven't a clue as to what it's like for us average Joe's and Joann's."

Please- like the Obama's do??? Sooooo biased!

Yes, she gave ten million, but she also knew that she was running for president. The evil one does not fool me.

Go Hillary! She writes good books, made money from them, and donated a HUGE chunk of her income to charity…..a bigger percentage than BHO did.

She might be rich, but she really does care about the "little people" out there….always has, ever since she was a student with very little money, and she always will. Otherwise, she wouldn't be running for this office.

As for her critics…..I don't know who is most anxious to "behead" her…..the Obama people or the mainstream (meanstream?) media like ABC, CBS, NBC and, especially, CNN. Or is there even a difference? (Oh, excuse me…..a titillating tingle ran up and down my leg when I wrote that.)

No Obamination in the presidency!

Hillary or McCain – 2008

AFTER TAX EARNINGS: $57,157,297

CUMULATIVE TOTAL(GROSS) INCOME: $109,175,175

Including, among other items:

* Senator Clinton's Senate Salary: $1,051,606
* President Clinton's Presidential Pension: $1,217,250
* Senator Clinton's Book Income: $10,457,083
* President Clinton's Book Income: $29,580,525
* President Clinton's Speech Income: $51,855,599

Hillary supporters … you realize this is all Bills money, not Hillary's?
I guess she can take credit for that like she tries everything else that Bill did. Look its good they released them they should have done so a long time ago. Why are you so pious about doing what Obama did weeks and weeks ago? And where's 2007?

Are you HILL A Ry suppoter just blind or don't care that a Lie is a lie this is not the first it it a pattern and she makes them convenant when she is loosing ground she play on our the fears and those who still have weak minds that still look at color, race, and religion. All she care about is Hill (White House A (as quote by her in my White House we will know who wears the pants) Ry (It's my turn to add to the mess I got 35 years of practice!!!
Go Obama 2008 politican yes this country this great country was forged by those who wanted change with no experience worked out pretty good don't you say!

2000 – 2006 in my world adds up to 7 years, and not 8….

btw I love the Hillary '09 people…please don't forget to vote for Hillary in 2009. lol

we need details of the tax release: 2 sources of income we need details

People get the facts straight. It is 109 mil for 8 years for two people, most of which is BC's income. Stop being critical and in the gutter when you are suppose to be promoting the opposite. Perhaps it is the obamababies who are really tearing the party apart.

Hillary '08

Holy crap! Ex-Prez Billy boy gets $1.2 mill out of my taxes for doing nothing (i.e. a pension!), and now his hillbilly wife wants to get the same cush deal; i.e. Ex-Prez pension bucks of another $1.2 mill! So, America, for the half-hearted efforts of these two hillbilly's, do you want TWO AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR, FOR LIFE, to go into their pockets?
Not me.
Not me!!!!!

This is just what it is that angers me so much about politics. My retired mother in law, pro Clinton keeps sending donations to her campaign and saying poor poor Hillary, she needs the money. Meanwhile she scrapes by on retirement liveing while some rich politician keeps sending donation letters saying how badly the money is needed. If you've got it spend it and stop begging for money from people who need it.

Hahahahaha….Clinton sure knows how to distract voters…..and inturn mislead them…releasing her tax returns today just so that focus turns away from the Mark Penn issue…but Obama doesn't go 'Shame on you Hilary!' ………that just tells you a lot about the difference in these candidates…..

Obama 08 !

Now I hope this can shut up the media and Obama and please do not hate on Bill and Hillary for knowing how to make money.

Rasmussen recently released a poll that showed that only 56% of Hillary supporters would vote for Obama.

On the other side, 68% of Obama supporters would vote for Hillary.

To the Hillary fans: why do you care more about her than about your own party?

You know she cannot win without disenfranchising the majority of Democratic voters. Just do the math. So, either you want to disenfranchise the majority of Democratic voters, or you want to continue battering the eventual Democratic nominee making it that much harder to put a Democrat in the White House.

Another question for all the Hillary fans out there. Why do you think the Republicans are turning out in droves to vote for her? Why did they push her over the top in Texas? Why is RUSH LIMBAUGH supporting her? BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY CAN BEAT HER AND THEY WANT HER TO KEEP ATTACKING OBAMA SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO.

A vote for Hillary is a vote for McCain.

Why are all you Hillary supporters standing with Rush Limbaugh?

Oh yeah, and watch out for all those invisible snipers. Especially if you're meeting with an 8 year old.

0BAMA NEEDS TO RELEASE:

REZKO FUNDRAISING DONOR LIST–FUNDERAISNG HE DID FOR OBAMA AS STATE SENATOR!

OBAMA AND REZKO PROJECTS FILES, LIST AND BILLING STATEMENTS! —– OBAMA SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT REZKO'S TENANTS LIVED IN A SLUM

STATE SENATE RECORDS!

20 YEARS TAX RETURNS!

QUOTE FROM POLITICO

"…It doesn’t include any cash Rezko raised for the Illinois state legislative campaigns of Obama, now a U.S. senator running for president, nor does it include all contributions made to Obama’s federal races by Rezko-linked donors…"

"The last thing we need is a whiner in the White House."

I agree. Which is why Hillary is a definite no. "The press picks on me, there is a bias! That's none of your business!"

Lady, you think it's bad now? They haven't even warmed up! Just wait, or not. Clearly, she can't handle it. Glad that all the pressure finally made her play by the rules. But I don't have the energy to watch Hillary fight against doing the right thing because "she's special" for four whole years. I mean, why did it take that long?

Kirt In New York: We sure are…We need to become Hillary and watch the people believe every word we say….lie….lie…lie…and let some tears flow…And we can rake in the money.

I am glad she released her tax documents that still does not erase the day…CNN I hope you do not drop the Penn and Leno thing over the tax documents which of course we knew would not tell us a thing.

They was waiting for something big to bring them down and then they would cover it up with the tax papers….Good going Hillary.

I'm an Obama supporter, but I have to say it is good to see that the Clintons gave 10% of their earnings to charity.

I keep seeing the dark side of Hillary in this campaign. it's nice to see a ray of light.

But, on the dark side, the story about Mark Penn, her top campaign strategist having Columbia as a client and trying to negotiate a trade deal, while she is publicly opposed to it, is a problem.

Mark Penn is the CEO of a lobbist group that is representing foreign governments in trade affairs. I just wonder how much influence Penn would have in a Clinton White House. and why would Clinton put him in charge of her campaign, given his obvious conflicts of interest?

A newsanker once told that if you have important news that you do not want many people to jump on…release it on a friday night…

And well yes there are miss sniperfire's tax returns on a friday night….

You Obama people asked that she release her returns, now that she has, you keep bashing and criticizing her. WHY do you think everyone is on the Obama bandwagon……because the Republicans know that they cannot beat Clinton, WAKE up people!!!!!!!!! If you want More of the same McCain, then vote Obama…………..GEEZ!!!

With the risk of sounding like an ingrate, WHERE ARE THE 2007 TAX RETURNS? That was a banner year for 'ol race-card bubba.

They are worth $109 million and asking blue collar families to give their last $5 for her campaign???

That's just their income. Not including their income of all their corporations, llc's, etc. Which are filed seperately for tax purposes. Those are the BIG tax shelters. They probably have twice that looped around somewhere. How convenient to wait and make them look as little as possible, and it still comes to over 100 million? She can't even pay campaign debts to companies! Really for the american people? Not really. No Democratic nominee has ever been that rich running for president, ever.

You go girl!!

What now Hillary Haters? Did Lord Obama give so much to charity?

All of the hate between both supporters. Congratulations Clinton, you ran a horrible campaign and lost and because you feel entitled, you put the entire party through this, knowing in the end you wont win anyways.

Whats more, you think your tactics will work by keeping Obama from winning the GE, so you can run again in 2012. DO YOU THINK ANYONE IS GOING TO SUPPORT YOU RUNNING EVER AGAIN?

The country is ready to move past the Clintons, most of us already have.

The Obama's paid 28% tax on their income and the Clinton's paid 30% tax on their income. Pretty much right in line with the tax laws, I'd say.

I couldn't find where the Obama's donated any money to any charity — does anyone know if they did? The Clinton's donated lots of money to charity, according to their tax returns.

Go Hillary!!

How can Bill and Hillary say that they are fighting for the blue-collar worker when they are using their acquired position to dupe the people? Most politicians are hypocrites. No wander Hillary loaned her campaign $5 million dollars, with the expectation of buying the presidency, and increasing the money by 100 folds – Shame on you Hillary.

Oh how nice – they gave 10%….of almost ONE-HUNDRED TEN MILLION. You almost have to in that bracket. Give it to charity and get kudos, or give it to the IRS and get a receipt.

The rich get richer. We need change!

Most of Barack Obamas supporters are just kids in College at 18-22 years old. They are the new generation of kids that have been sucked into the hip hop generation and dont know much about politics. How could you not support Clinton? She is the better candidate. Anybody with any real sense in their head knows that. And as far as either of the candidates go. Which one can relate to blue coller workers? Neither one can, they both went to the best Colleges in the country. Blue coller workers and their children could never afford to attend these colleges. And most of them couldnt afford college at all.
BRANDON BOGGS for president '08

Wow she finally did something ethical!

Did anyone realize that the ad on CNN regarding Hillary taxes was paid for by her campaign? Look for yourself; it states it at the very bottom of the ad. No wonder it was full of so much positive “charity” spin.

I'm a lady and let me tell you, she doesn't make me proud one bit! She is too negative for me.

This goes to both the Clinton and Obama "fans" – I really really want to say supporters but your comments sound like fans at a football game (is this what politics have been reduced to?). You are looking like fools. Everytime someone doesn't like your candidate they are a "Republican" in disguise? PLEASE. I was planning to vote Democrat this year – George W is a failure no qualms about it. But I do not believe in the party system and I make my decision by CANDIDATE (I know a novel idea actually voting for the person rather than blindly voting on an outdated party system- WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?).

Anyhow you (both sides) have made me never want to vote Democrat again – your party appears unorganized, uninformed and unable to win an election that should have been a given. Squabbling over tax returns? What about the economy? What about health care? What will each candidate do for us?

BTW – the argument that McCain is a second Bush is ridiculous. You need something better than that to win and to get me and others like me back to looking at either of yoru candidates seriously (I belong to an Independent political group BTW – of MODERATES). Good luck digging your way out Dems. I see little chance but who knows.

Look for it to come out (just heard it on news) that perhaps $15 million made by Bill, came from head of Dubai, who remember wanted to buy ports.

Potential president of US has a spouse making $15 million of personal income from Emir of Dubai.

I could really care less what Hillary's tax returns say. What I want to know is this, why is Mr. Kahl the day-to-day coordinator for Obama's working group in Iraq, saying perhaps we need to keep 60,000 to 80,000 forces there until 2010. Check it out on Huffington.com

Good for you Hillary!! Funny how all the Obama supporters who kept running their mouths about releasing your tax returns are now running their mouths about something else you need to release. I guess they will never be satisfied. They more than likely thought you would never release them, but you sure did prove them wrong. I can't wait to see how the pundits try to spin this into a negative story for her.

Senator Clinton, can I borrow just $4,000? I'll pay you back if I ever get a job here in Ohio. Of course you can always just give it as a gift!

Perfect timing…MLK remeberation, Penn scandal, friday afternoon…

To all pethetic tax cheater BHO suporters why not look into your tax return how much you cheated so far. I bet you doller you can not even file your tax return on your own and want to analyse thier tax return.
Go Hillary.

O'Bama gave more to charity – do the math, you silly goose, Steph in Pa. Are all Pa. people so dense.

Okay, if these people can make this much money for themselves, just think about what they can make for the country!!!

Oh yeah! Go Hillary 08!

Looks like the Clintons were MORE charitable than the Obama's!

By the way now that the taxes are out, let's address some of the unanswered issues like:

Judicial Watch, a government transparency and litigation group that's received significant amounts of funding from conservatives, has questioned Obamas own willingness to pull back the curtain on his own records.

"It appears that Obama never kept records of his time in the Illinois state legislature, or he discarded them," wrote Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton in a recent newsletter. "Either way, he clearly intended to leave no paper trail."

Fitton said that his group has been seeking Obama's records from his time as state senator between 1996 and 2004, but so far it's come up empty.

So Obama…..time to turn the papers over….what are YOU hiding?

It is always something with you people. She has now released 30 years of tax returns and that is not enough?

Where is the income coming from? For those of you who can read & understand a tax return, the sources are summarized for you in the article.

You people are unbelieveable….what's next??. There are comments about why today? She gives to charity, that's not enough, she should build a school or rebuild New Orleans….Are you guys for real???

Please give Hillary a break today, please just 1 day without the hate!!!
Thanks.

How does this add up to 30 years?

if she has all that money why doesn't she pay those small business owners in Ohio and Iowa who she still owes money to?

Answer the phone Clinton campaign. And pay your bills

Obama '09

Honestly people.

What's with all the hating? We're on the same team. The personal attacks on those that don't happen to support your candidate need to stop now!

Thanks for playing Hillary, but its time to go home now.

It wouldn't matter what the Clinton's did. Clinton haters will continue to be Clinton haters. Obama is unelectable in the General Election. Sooooooooo, when the Dems blow the election remember where you heard it.

Between Obama fans and Dick Morris it seems people can't grasp the obvious:

BASKETBALL, FOOTBALL, BASEBALL, TENNIS, GOLF and more puts this money to shame.

Yet, if you are entertained it's cool man.

America–land that once held intelligence rapidly going down the drain.

I see CNN you will not report anything or put my comments on you bloq since they are negative of CNN. Well stick Obama where the sun doesn't shine.

Whooooo … Millions over Millions for what kind of 'work' ?

Does not sound like the 'blue collar workers' the Billaries pretend to be, does it ?

Bless the Clintons! They put their money where their mouth is. While most people in their tax bracket gave around 3% to charity, they gave more than 9%. I think that says a lot. Almost ALL of Hillary Clinton's book earnings went to charity.

I think the Clintons are not only great representatives of the people of this country, but that they are just great people all around.

Hmmm….,

Now just where oh where are those Illinois State Senate records of Senator Obama?

This was one thing which was holding me from supporting Hillary.
Now it looks like they did make lots of legal money which i can't question, but 10% of income into charity is impressive.
Addition to that, the time and energy they are giving to the AIDS foundation for Africa and Asia, and elsewhere.
What can i say anymore! BRAVO!!

Clinton: $109 million (book, Colombian government, Walmart, NAFTA nations, pharma companys, LOBBYISTS!)
Obama $1 million (book)

Who do you think understands average americans better?

PS- OBAMA HAS NOTHING MORE TO RELEASE…income tax return, earmarks, etc…
HILLARY- We still need your earmarks and who invested in the presidential library? I hope Columbia didn't!

Mark Penn? Friday afternoon? Hmmm, nice to see the Bushes taught the Clintons well, or was the Clintons who taught the Bushes?

To:Steph in Pa
Let me tell you something, they give income to charity so that they can avoid taxes and that doesn't mean a whole lot. I really want to see the tax releases of the big fat Rodham brothers – that will reveal something!!

some of these comments made here just seem so rediculous to me, those of you wondering how the Clintons made $109 million in 8 years should maybe read the whole story instead of the first paragraph.

Oh and Patricia in Vegas….you say that the country doesn't need a" Privilaged rich person running the country" Well i say to you …is Obama not privilaged and rich?

Some of you people crack me up!!

Get used to saying President Obama because there is nothing in his way!

These returns were obviously released today to distract from the Mark Penn story.

That is the true issue. Of the 303 comments (commenting was closed), almost all (including Clinton supporters) stated that Penn's actions were indefensible.

Don't be distracted

Obama tax returns were released a long time ago Williams of Texas

I'm ashamed of all the people who are sending these messages. All of them have so much hate in them that it frightens me. All the money that is spent on these campaigns is just wrong. If people have so much money to throw away on this why don't they give money to help our schools and to rebuild our highways and to help our children who need healthcare? Just think what 90 million would have done to help a few people who relly need help. All of you need to get a life.

WOW !!!

Where are all the vile, hate spewing Obama supporters now !! Did Obama give nearly 10% of his income to charity? NOT !!

Ok ignorant people, I'm a blue colar worker and I look at it this way if I made over 100 million in the last 8 years and I'm in my 60's I would be on a permanent vacation. Not wasting my time running for public office.

Oh, unless I actually cared about helping the less fortunate get healthcare, better jobs, education and so on…………

You people are pathetic……if you had that kind of money I guarantee most of you would not donate 10million to charities.

Wow, some of you are thick. Obama released his returns already. Try to keep up.

HIllary, I am so proud to be supporting you. I don't understand nor do I care about your critics, I suspect most of them are just plain haters, probably republicans. Don't listen to the pundits! Listen to the voters! and by all means don't listen to the polls. Keep up the good hard work!

First you Obama supporters whine about releaseing the Tax records .. then you whine when they come out … that last thing we need is a whiner in the WHite House

Clintons donated 10% of income to Obama's 1%. Who cares more? It is really simple.

Good Lawd folks! Who cares if they released them on a Friday!!!! Or a Thursday, or a Sunday, or a Monday. How absolutely retarded. Obviously, Obamabots can't find anything else to complain about. lol

For those that can't read. It said 30 years of records because 20 years are already in public record. She did not have to release these 10 years. Senators do not… Look it up Also if you kept up the Clintons were forced to cash in Hedge funds that could be considered conflict of interest for her campaign….Hence a large amount of money last year. And Bill's book's, speaking etc and Senators make decent $$$.

As for the Library who cares. Are you going to ask for Bush ( either) or Carter for their list of Library donators?

Also Obama people quit whinning.. They don't treat me right… Why did it take so long…. And Quit Lying.. how many bills was that you presented and authored in the 3 years you have been in the US SENATE not the I was here but didn't vote for anything hard in the Illinois Legislature? Let us know why your smoke screen is cleared up. Oh that info was on cnn and msn yesterday in the political watch dog group. Numbers by the independant crunchers are not even close. Hillary twice as much work and authoring and bills past in the Big Boy league.

Good job Hillary! She is the most qualified to be next President.

It is funny that the same people that loved the Clinton News Network CNN are now saying that they are bias toward Obama…..Although more people obviously bought Bills book…like the canidates it must be the content that is more impressive considering hObama won the award for his book

Unless you support her, Hillary will never make any of you happy. How many of you are willing to release your tax records?

109 million….WOW

There will be a lot of questions how she made so much $$$

….and John McCain's tax returns?

There you go again CNN(clinton news network) . Shame on you. This is major breaking news and you have it in small print.

She sure does know how to throw a distraction (Penn Hint Hint), at least she got enoughto borrow from…..

And she is supposed to understand the working people???

How much did Bill make on just speeches alone! Thats right workers in Ohio, can you say NAFTA. Can you also say bye bye to your jobs.

$108 Millon!!! Wow! What are they doing to be rolling in that much dough? Unreal! They said they donated $10 million to charity. How? It is funny, how this is really under the radar. I don't see why blue collar workers identify with her at all.

Those cheering the Clinton donations, look closely at who they donated to "The Clinton Family Foundation".

And they or Chelsea can take salaries from their own private foundation.

I will wait and see til there is more details, but i find it very odd they they decide to do it while this penn thing is blowing up in their face

For those of you on this Mark Penn issue.. Its been made clear that this has nothing to do with the Clinton Campaign. Just trying so hard to find something…Maybe you need to look at your choice.

wow, their are some really hateful comments coming the obama supporters in response to this. "she doctored the returns," "she only released them to distract voters from other issues," "she's too rich too identify with the blue collar worker."

jesus christ, didn't she give you what you wanted? your irrational rantings make me ashamed to be a democrat.

Why is my comment not being posted.

Great news Hillary, but I have one question, how did you and Bill make so much so soon? If I remember correctly when he left office he was millions into debt, due to all the lawyers they had to pay and the Jennifer Flowers payoff, Paula Jones also got a settlement. I want to learn how they made so much so quickly. I want to learn from them, so I can do the same.

Obama people never satisfied no matter what.

Go Hillary 09

for the people on here calling for obama to release his returns — HE HAS. They are on his website.

Pay SOME attention before you stick your foot in your mouth.

Is everybody happy now?

Do you people never read these articles? Clinton's taxes for the first 20 years are online and have been for all of this time. The records she just released are the ones the Obama people were whining about. She has done what she was asked to do and still it's not good enough to shut you Obamanation worshipers up. At least she gave to charity a huge amount of the income. Over $10 million is impressive and Obama gave how much? Wasn't it Only 1% Of Income To Charity reported by Bloomberg for the same time period and most of that to HIS church?

To all the Hillary fans out there. What's more important to you? Hillary Clinton or your own party?

SHE CAN'T WIN, GIVE IT UP ALREADY.

And what Obama expected to see???

Good, now all you haters will have to find something else to rant about…I'm sure you'll find something.

$109 Million in income! The Clinton's haven't a clue as to what it's like for us average Joe's and Joann's.

109 Mil? This has all the bells and rings of fraud written all over it. Hold unto your hats, the truth will come out soon.

Where is 2007??!! That is the one that's important! You weren't running for president between 2000-2006!

Go Hillary!

You are the best!

Listen up! This is how it's gonna be from now on: Hillary doesn't release anything else until Obama releases what Hillary just did….

So for all you people looking for donor lists and earmark stuff, put a sock in it!

I call on Obama to release the dates he attended Rev. Wright's sermons…. let's see if this guy can man up and stop hiding behind the (racist) pulpit!

Hillary '08!!

People…THEY MADE MOST OF THEIR MONEY FROM THEIR BOOKS. So shut up already.
GO HILL.
Obama is such a POSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

William,
Just in case you haven't noticed Obama already released his 2000-2006 more that a week ago. To some extent it does not really matter what is in them as some analysts state. It is the principle fact that post every one but her had released them. That was the problem. I'm glad she did now she can move on as well. it seems like there was nothing to hide. so why all the drama, just release them. I'm glad she did. now it's DONE

If most of those who comment here and have a negative remark really did their homework they would find out Hillary Clinton is the best candidate to become the president. I commend her for releasing so many years of tax returns. The media will not cover her record of accomplishment or her solutions for important issues…they just say Obama and Clinton's are the same…no need to talk about it. Shame on you…the media for giiving us nothing but sound bites and out of context quotes. Hillary has clear well thought out plans and she has the record to back them up. The media is trying to tell us what to eat, where to sleep, what shampoo to use…and who to vote for. GET REAL VOTERS AND DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Hillary Clinton 2008!

It's about time…it took long enough to have her account fudge the numbers for the release. I know that she lies about everything…and these numbers are way less then what they really raked in. She and Bill are shady, and they have a shady accountant. Were these papers notarized?

Obama can't go back as far has Hillary with returns….he's almost 20 years younger and he doesn't have any that far back.

Dang Hill, how many get out of jail free cards do you have up that pant suit??

I'm sick of Hillary whining. Obama and Richardson sounds great to me.

I don't think it's any surprise that the Clintons are wealthy. Who among us voters could afford to "lend" our pet project (in Hillary's case, her campaign) 5 million dollars. I have to say, they're worth even more than I expected. Without seeing these returns it was pretty obvious they're doing just fine, thank you very much.

Now it makes me wonder how Hillary is going to continue to tell blue collar and other low-income workers how she understands our pain. Perhaps she realizes that in predominantly blue collar states like Pennsylvania, she's already lost the vote, so it doesn't make much difference to show that she is incredibly wealthy at this point.

Thanks, Hillary, for finally showing what all the other candidates showed months ago. I'm not sure how much good it will do, but finally we're getting some real info.

Once again so many of the Obama supporter postings are disgraceful. This one of the reasons why come the fall, should Clinton not be the nominee 37% of Clinton supporters will help McCain win. Obama is not a uniter – his presence has been incredibly divisive. Shame on one and all of you. You clearly don't know dignity, such as the rise above it all stamina Hillary has, if it slapped you in the face.
Hillary 08

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To the Obamaniacs

Let's now see the king of transparency be transparent. How about his tax returns as far back as Hillary's are public? If not, then I think that says enough about who has the longer public service record, and the most experience.

Put your tax returns where your mouth is, Barry Obama!!

If not Hillary, then McCAIN!!!

One-hundred and nine million dollars in 7 years…and that's just what they admit to.

wow.

nothing to see here folks, move along…
OBAMA 08

Obama and his wife made 1 million dollars and that was a big increase because of his book sales, the clinton's are not seriously concerned with the blue collar worker's they seem more likely to be drinking latte's

No wonder there's so much poverty in the US.

To William in Texas asking for Obama to now release his… where have you been?

He released his about a month ago!!

—-
Soldiers 4 Barack '08

Those are joint returns folks. Bill makes the most now as a private citizen.

Why release it on the 40th Anniversary of MLK, sneaky to say the least. She should stop asking poor people for donations for her campaign if she wants it that bad let her use her money. Now we want the list of donations to the foundation.

Finally….Now lets see her EARMARKS and clinton library donar list that is also missing.

am i the only one who sees something fishy about the amount of anti hillary comments posted up on the cnn site?

Now I know where that 40 million a month obama has been accumulating is ending up….

Thanks…………they've come along ways from Arkansas. You Hillary people should visit this state sometime. You willl see one of the poorest and most uneducated states in the nation. This was used as a stepping stone for the careerers of either Clinton. THESE ARE HUGE SUMS OF MONEY FOLKS. They are generous with donations I would love to know how much went to their home state down here in the South. We could have used not only the money but also a leader such as Hillary in Ark……wonder why she chose New York to start her run for the presidency??? There's much more to this story than what meets the eye. Maybe Mr Penn can help shed some light on this issue???

HOLD THE PHONE! – Bill made $51,000,000 for "Just speeches". Wasn't it Hillary that said Speeches don't put food on the table?? LIKE HELL THEY DON'T!

Now is the time to step down and let it go! Take a vacation Hilary.

FINANCE YOUR OWN CAMPAIGN.

Boy was I amazed to learn of the amount of money that the Clinton's raked in after leaving the White House with a debt of $10mil. How/Where did they really earn this money? I find it ironic that they seem to become rich after the NAFTA deal. If Bill can LIE about Lewinski and Hillary can LIE about Bosnia, I can't believe anything that they say. I know for sure without a shadow of a doubt, that Obama should be our next president. McCain and Clinton, dear friends with a common bond (privileged), can't relate to people like me with real problems.

She has donated $10.2 million to charities. Not bad.

Keep looking for reasons to go after her. When you all see Obama for what he is, you will all whine about how he didnt help you at all. By 2012, with McCain or Obama in office, you will all be crying out for Hillary Clinton, and if i were her, i would turn around and tell you all to stick it.

In fact, I'm running for President.

Now what about that Bill Clinton Library? When's that list going to become available?

I'm glad she released them. Would like to see the 2007 return as well. Is there any way to verify the veracity of them? I don't think the IRS can legally comment, as that would surely be a violation of privacy. Are we just supposed to believe this? Really?

1) NAFTA – she blamed Barack but it was her campaign
2) Colombia – her main strategist fighting for free trade she claims to be against
3) Sniper fire (*snicker*)
4) Chelsea at the 9/11 site when it happened
5) I did/did not/might have/ said Obama can't be elected

I don't believe these tax returns are real unless they can be verified by a third party. Which I'm not sure they can. So kinda useless really.

"Paid for by Hillary Clinton for President Terms of Service | Privacy Policy | Contact Us"

No Not shady at all… LOL

Bravo Hillary. Hope Tim Russert and the Obama people will be satisfied….Go Hillary Go Hillary

I guessing no bad news will be found in the details or they would have been delayed longer. These were all finished over a year ago and were released today. Let's see what 2007 returns have in them — if they get released before PA.

hey sw, the only irrational thinking here, is woman voting for hill only becasue she's a woman!!!!!

WHY ARE YOU RELEASING THEM ON FRIDAY, SOMETHING FISHY.
ARE YOU ALSO TRYING TO DISTRUCT US FROM THE MARK PENN STORY, NOT GOING TO WORK BILLARY

Just another "coverup" for the Mark Penn Columbian debacle. They obviously have kept this in reserve until something potentially devastating like this came up, so they can distract the newsmakers with it.

Nobody ever accused Senator Clinton's handlers of being stupid!

109 million!!!!!! DOLLARS????

So now the Hillarites are saying that Billary showed more than Obama in tax returns. You guys are pathetic. Hey…if Billary make so much, how the hell can they say they're for the "blue collar vote" who can't afford to feed their families. But the Hillarites are saying "Good for you, Hillary!" Wow…Clinton supporters suck!

And who keeps saying Obama supporters are more educated and elite? Where did this Myth get born?
Idiots… can't see the heart and the greatness of such a person in Hillary. Did anyone bother to share how little Obama gave to charitable causes? It was something like $2,000. Pathetic.

Hillary is the better and more qualified candidate. She will prevail… for if she doesn't we will be stuck with McCain. I would never vote for Obama – what has he done?

WORDS= 50 million dollars

Words are worth a lot!

Hillary, Our next President!!!1

And she's advocating for the poor and less fortunate???

Whatever it takes to get votes…..whatever it takes…

Okay, so now that she has released her tax returns ONLY DAYS after Obama released his, WHAT WILL THE OBAMA CAMP have to CRY ABOUT NEXT?!

Hillary released even MUCH MORE than Obama did… Let's see Obama come COMPLETELY CLEAN like Hillary!!!

WHat is OBAMA HIDING?!!!

Go Hillary! If not Hillary, then McCain!

Some of you Obama people are sick and need help!!!

What are the annual salaries for an Ex-President and a Junior Senator? I thought the Clintons were broke and owed lots of legal fees when they left the White House? Do books pay that much or is this investment income from White Water? How much of it came from the Middle East? Maybe, I should start writing. Something doesn't add up.

I guess Hillary's books are better than Obama's.

Thank you Senator Clinton. Now, what is this about Mr. Penn – seems to be a conflict of interest brewing.

Go Hillary, if no her no one ….

SW Are you actually listening to yourself. IT HAPPENING ON BOTH SIDES AND IT WOULD APPEAR HRC is leading in the trash talk dept.

Great Timing! Slick Willy…or should I say slick Hilly.

Don't forget about MARK PENN!!!

$52 million for "speaking." In other words, for the last seven years, Bill Clinton shows up to a fancy dinner, talks for a half hour, and the wealthy and powerful line his pockets in return. And are we expected to believe that this money won't by influence in a (HR) Clinton Whitehouse?

As far as I'm concerned, this shows 52 million reasons not to vote for HRC.

Did any of the donations includes money to Monica?

they've been holding them just to head off a headline like the Penn-Columbia one. good politics, bad candidate.

wonder if Ohioans are feeling like dummies for falling for Hillary's blue collar appeal?

no one cares about obama's money before public office because no one had any reason to buy him off. he was still paying off student loans and working as a community organizer.

hey thanks god, you should be weary of the bush tactics of releasing bad news at 4pm on Fridays!!!!!!!

Why can't they donate $5 Mn to campaign rather than loan with an interest ? Just wondering……………………

I think all of this Hillary bashing is getting old. Just because she is a strong woman who stands up for what she believes & has the news media constantly ridiculing everything she says or does is just wrong. She did what she said she was going to do, maybe not in the perfect time frame for all of you perfect people out there. So give her a break. Try taking a hard look at Obama and all of the lies & deception he is spilling out, but no, everyone wants to pick on Hillary. Why? Because she is a woman.

100 million.

That's like 1,672 years of my income. I'm in the wrong business.

I'm willing to bet Hillary and Bill will not release the names of the donors to the clinton Presidential Library and the amounts unless the press put preasure on her to do so. Also Hillary and Bill started playing the Race Card and talking negative about Obama. Now when Obama fires back on the untrue statements she makes, Hillary complain about the press not treating her right. The American people who think for themselves are begining to see Hillary for who she really is. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time with lies. Sooner or later you true self will come out no matter how hard one tried to hide their true self.
Will the true Hillary please stand up?

You kidding me – 109 million!!! Life is good as a public servant….

THE CLINTONS ARE SO SNEAKY…THROW A BONE TO DISTRACT FROM THE PENN MATTER. UM, UM, UM, HEAD SHAKING

Look, all you Hill Billies out there shouting now what. This is just the release of the records, none of us has no way of telling what's in them. Before you get so happy, remember your lady is fishy so let's wait till the analyst finish analysing these documents.

I can almost bet my head that something sniper-fire-like is going to come out.

remember you were excited when she release the white house records only to learn a few days that there was a lot of dirt in it?

"The tax returns are the second of three batches of documents Clinton has come under pressure to release. Her scheduling records that date to her time as First Lady were released late last month. The list of major donors to the Clinton Presidential Library has yet to be released."

YEAH , WE ARE WAITING FOR THE EARMARKS TOO!

$109 million! Do you really think that with those numbers that the Clintons "feel your pain" especially those who are out of work, about to lose their homes, lacking health care, paying over $3 per gallon gas? Being an ex-President and a New York Senator is obviously very lucrative financially.

It is funny how the Obama babies have been screaming for her to release her taxes and the 2nd she does they say some negative remarks.
I am a Hillary supporter and if she looses to Obama I would not vote for Obama just because of his supporters who I find disgustingly rude

Why release today????????????????

TO DISTRACT FROM MARK PENN'S LUNACY

Glad to see that the Clintons who entered office with a net worth of about $200,000 have done well.

It’s only fair considering how many Americans prospered during the Clinton years – you do recall the 22 million jobs created during his tenure, the lowest unemployment rate in history and the budget surplus don’t you

Now maybe the Obama supporters can stop their whining and get their candidate to release his records from the years he spent as an IL state legislature that nobody can seen to find.

Yes we can…change…hope …ugh.

You Obama supporters are as nuts as the anti Clinton right wing and Obama CANNOT win without the support of the 12 million people like me who voted for Hillary. So should Barack Obama be the democratic nominee in November, I an seriously considering sitting this election out.

No, he can’t … (not without the more than 12 million who have voted for Hillary)

Are you people dense? This article clearly says where the money came from. Yes, people pay a lot of money to hear the ex-president speak. Yes, writers of National Best Selling books make a lot of money. None of this this has ANYTHING to do with "lobbyists" or "corruption".

By the way I heard LeBron James makes 100's of millions of dollars from playing basketball.

She claims that she speaks for the everyday man/woman and knows their pain and the hardships they are going through. Folks, this is just as accurate as me telling each and everyone of you that your dad owns one of the oil companies and you have nothing to fear with the downward slide of the economy. She has more in a day than you could hope for in a lifetime. Just words, man – don't think that she will even remotely know what "real" life is like. She only wants your vote to get into power.

Mike H from Montana, she rose to $109 million dollars, how much more do you want her to rise? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!

What about any LLCs or corporations they have set up to receive income? Any good CPA will tell you to set one up particularly for any 1099 income, say from a sovereign wealth fund that you may have consulted for – it makes good tax sense. I am quite sure there is more that has not been disclosed.

Timing is everything. They release on a weekend so perhaps people won't really notice. It took them long enough to redact what they had to.

$109 million!

No wonder they want to be President again! It's a lucrative job! It sure looks like they fit the kind of people who benefited from Bush's tax cuts!

Clearly, it's Bills money that's paying for her presidential campaign.

Yeah, the Clintons really are the right people to stand up for the poor and blue collar people. Yeah, $109 million – they sure understand what we are going through. So nice that the donated money to charity – money they would have otherwise paid in taxes.

SLEAZE!

I feel so sad for all you haters of HC. What organization Obama gave, probably Rev. Wright's church, his mentor, …..

Obamanistas, shut up now. Hey Barry, match those releases. Both Clintons have written successful books, both have Grammys for their spoken word book recordings and Bill is a popular guest speaker.

Where'd all that "income" come from?

To exactly what 'charities', or socked away for her campaign and written off for taxes? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Just another distraction, as is the idiodic attempt to guise her lies on the Tonight Show.

Bill, Hillary and Chelsea belong in a freak show, not living at expense of taxpayers.

It's a Clintonian Obamination !!

Mr. Obama, Please realease your relationship with Rezko?

We want to know about it….. We deserve to know about it before you want to make your dirty dream true!

What did they ever do to earn all that money? Neither of them ever provided a good or service to anyone. And their daughter is following in their footsteps… what does a hedge fund advisor do anyway? Booze and schmooze, three hour lunches, talk on the phone and split the office at noon on Friday? What a load of s**t.

I don't understand why people think Clintons are blue collar. Please think before you vote.
All the people who think Hillary cares about voters in Michigan and Florida and Obama doesn't think about this. Hillary said that Pledge delegate are free and she will go after them. This means she doesn't care about the voters in almost 40 states how they voted and their vote doesn't matter, so Do your really think Hillare cares about Florida and Michigan? Obama is playing by rule and doesn't want disrespect DNC and something he signed.

Don't try to take the focus off the Penn problem. According to Newsweek article, Penn's political consulting firm, Penn, Schoen & Berland, has been paid $10.8 million so far by Clinton's campaign.

$90 Million are from speeches and book publishing!

I can't believe the loser idiots here saying that they are fake. If they were fake, wouldn't the IRS know? Duh!

Thanks hill, now tell us how well you get along with Uribe,Giustra, the dictator of Kazahstan e.t.c

Released on a Friday at 4 in the afternoon? Hoping we'll forget about this over the weekend Hillary?

And she complains about having to lay out $5M for her campaign?

I am convinced all those so called Obama supporter making comments here are just hired guns, they will jump on any thing and attacking madly, no rational thinking, just shouting out some hated words. it is really a shame!

Good job Hillary! Your contribution showed you have a big heart, not the BIG MOUTH!

$109 million!! wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Obama was 16 thirty years ago.
How can he match that exactly? lol

I wonder what is hiding…the only people I know who release information on late Friday afternoons are the Bush administration…and we have all seen what they release…bad news………….

50 some million dollars in revenue?

Now we know how much a United States President and his wife can be bought for.

Funny, I would have thought the price would be even higher.

ABOUT TIME!

Now we can figure out how a sitting Senator makes $100 million.

$109 million and cannot afford to pay $300,000 for your campagin's health insurance – pretty sleezy!! Thats 0.3% of your income gimmie a break – Just suck these poor folks dry why dont you!

How about an audit?

Way to go, Hill!

Ummm I'm the only that noticed that this does not break down their investements…. We all know they are heavily invested so WHERE IS THAT MONEY?

I guess they cashed in pretty well since 2000. Why is that bluecollar workers identify with her again?

Now, where is the donor list? We need that too. Oh, and how did the Clintons make all that money! 109 million, wow!

I would like to see Hillary's college transcripts. President Bush as it turned out had better grades and college than both Kerry & Gore.

I don't believe it!!!! no wonder the polar ice caps are melting!!!

Is Bill's Kazikisan deal included in these returns? Deal was worth $100 Million. How much funny business is there?

And she needed to "loan" her campaign $5 million ?! Oh, please… I work 12 hour days every day and just barely get by, and it bugs me that Hillary tries to pretend to be "one of us" and just a regular guy. Anyone who makes more than 15 million dollars a year is out of touch with Joe Average.

And less than 10% of their income given to charity ? I give more than that to my church, in donations, in contributions, and I make 1 /1000th the income that they do. Seems when the economy was worsening for everyone else, the Clintons were raking in the bucks !

Sherrie 50

At least the Clintons gave to charity??? Really? That's your position??

It's quite easy to give to charity when you make $109,000,000.00!!!

a few years ago (before best selling book) Michell and Barack had a joint income of $200K, and yes they still gave to charity. Only a fool could seriously question the desparity in charitable giving

Well if she made all that money tell me why she can't RAISE any? Does any of her supporters REALLY support her…LMAO!!!

I bet they have been redacted….ALSO…PERFECT TIMING now that the BIG STORY would have been about Penn's Columbia Lobbying Scandal!!! Nice job Hillary! Lets see how CNN helps push the Penn Scandal under the rug.

For those questioning about her earnings….Anybody could make millions if you know how to invest your money. Don't spend your money on alcohol and unnecessary material things. People don't have savings because they don't know how to prioritized their needs.

There is a big difference between need and want.

Now leave Hillary alone. Go do your millions too!

Great timing Hillary…YOU are not liked at all today with the Leno and the Penn crap…after today I really do not care what your taxes look like….I am done with Hillary.

Obama, Please release how you were getting along with Rezko ?

let people know !

These Clintons are so predictable. Just in time to divert from other stories. OBAMA 08′

THE CLINTONS ARE NOT CORRUPT.

I do not support them for President, I wanted Ron Paul, but READ where they made their income from people. They made it from books and speeches. You cannot say they are corrupt or "doing favors."

How much has Obama donated to charity in the last 8 years??????

I think last year Obama made 1 million dollars, and didn't he donate 2-3% of that to charity?

Looks like the Clinton's are donating almost 10% to charity.

Hillary 2008!!!………..or McCain 2008.

Oh crap… They are richer that Bush and His Cronies…

GO HILLARY!!

HILLARY CLINTON IS THE DEMS ONLY CHANCE AT THE WHITE HOUSE..

OBAMA HASNT GOT A CHANCE VS. THE MAC

Hillary, where are your tax returns?! Where are they?! What's that? … She did? … Today? … Oh. Well, then. I guess I'll find something else to complain about.

Hillary, where are your medical records?! Where are they?!

In all seriousness, I wish some Obama supporters weren't so ridiculous. They give the rest of us a bad name. These aren't competing cults, everybody.

Democrats '08!

Some rich people give to charity because they of tax deductable.

Hillary! You are a great lady!

I really appreciate your courage! Thanks for donating so much money for charity!

Good for US! you know how to creat wealth and contribute them. This is what Obama will never know.

2008 for Hillary Clinton! Go Go GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO!!!

Good Girl. One thing off your plate.

Typical Clinton tactic. Release them on Firday afternoon, as reporters are getting ready to go home for the weekend and people are focused on other things. By the time Monday rolls around, nobody will be taking about this. The Clinton's are steeped in sleaze. They are some of the worse human beings I've every seen. That comment on Leno last night, laughing about the Bosnia sniper fire took the cake. She was laughing. The American people were not. Even Leno seemed to feel a bit uncomfortable about it.

Now, everyone needs to stop accusing Hillary. Enough is Enough. I am sickened by the baseless heatred for Hillary!

Hillary 08

Thats not a whole lot of money! and I see they like to donate also ! good for them and I have never seen any any other person in political life ever revel so much info! I respect that.

I agree, Timing. a distraction from (CCC) Clinton Colombia Connection

Bill clinton is not running for president leave him alone investigate all past president's library donors also why only Bill clinton.

WAAOOOOOOO! HOW DID THEY MAKE THAT? SHADINESS ALL OVER!
OBAMA 08!

Calm down Clintonites. We need time to pore through the records. If it took that long for Clinton to release them, it'll take even longer to track down the lies!

Any body wondering why so much money … this is nothing. When Obama becomes a president and writes dozens of books and gives thousands of paid speeches .. he will make 5 times more than what the Clintons have disclosed.

Atleast the Clintons have paid their taxes and given more than 10M in charity. That explains a lot.

Hillary 08

Is it me or does every Hillary supporter post in all-caps, misspell words, use bad grammer, and make absolutely no sense? I guess that's why she is winning the uneducated vote by a 2-1 margin.

Big business Clintons! How can they relate to little people when they earn their fortune by deletingthose little peoples jobs!

I hate her even more. So sneaky releasing them on Fri. She is quite finished in my book. 109 Million? Wow, it's no wonder she can give her campaign a 5 million dollar loan.

We have over a thousand CEOs that dwarf the income of our former US President who balanced the US Budget.

If you think the Clintons got rich, please call Dick Cheney and President Bush on their sweet deals from the War.

People wanted Bloomberg to run and he's worth Billions.

Let's face it. If you don't like Clinton you probably have a voodoo doll at home of her already.

How sad that the left side (crazy, nutjob, treehuggers) of the party has ruined any chance to win the White House this year. The Obama/Clinton war will be remembered for years. Just wait til all those Clinton Dems leave the party!! Hilarious. The only safe thing to do is vote Mc Cain this year, and vote for someone else in 4 years.
Democrats for Mc Cain '08

Hillary and blue color voters?!! How on earth someone with $109,000,000 know an thing about poverty?!!!

She has no standing what so ever to talk about poverty!

Obama '08.

Ok and this makes the news whyyyyyyyyyyyyy???? What took so long. Most of it has probably been doctored.

Obama 08.

Well, well, well…it's about time!

Now they need to come clean about their campaign fraud trial. Obama's been raked over the coals just for mingling with Rezko. Why no reporting on this, when the Clintons are actual defendants?

Double standard? You bet!

MAKING THAT KIND OF MONEY AND AT THEIR AGE…SCHOOLING IS PAID FOR…THEY OUGHT TO GIVE MORE……USE YOUR BRAIN!!!!! THEIR KID IS GROWN.

Nothing shocking here, Bill charges big $$$$$ to speak and they have a few lucrative book deals…Bill bringing in $8-10M a year is no biggie, about the same as the guys we watch on CNN anyways! Might not play well with the out of job blue collar workers she is trying to sway though, also it shows that being in politics pays! But in America we do not begrudge anyone earning a living, that is the American Dream. I support McCain, pushing for Obama because I like his style, but do not begrudge the Clintons for earning $$…actually thought he would have made more! Perhaps Hillary can lend Obama a few bucks for him to get a new suit though, It appears he only owns one and wears it to all the events….lol

Senator Clinton's Senate Salary: $1,051,606
Is this Yearly or over the years???

How did the Clintons make $109 million in 8 years.. Where did the money come from.. With Obama, he gave us specific information how much he and Michelle make then how much they had to pay. She is still hiding something, I am sorry. I am trying to give her the benefit of the doubt but I just alittle confuse.

Whatever ones opinion of Hillary may be, she has finally released her tax returns as expected. So what do people want, blood. I support Obama but I believe in fairness. Obama is going to win the nomination anyway.

They gave over 10 million to charity. How much did you give? Question is how many big corporations didn't pay as much in taxes?
Most of you are probably lousy tippers as well. Since when did Bill and Hillary Clinton become so hated? He was a very good president. Maybe you deserve another Bush/Mccain four years. Americal is doing great isn't it?

Its too late to try to undo the damage you have done to yourself. I dont even trust whatever those returns reveal. Integrity is not your strong suit, Hillary. Just step down gracefully and allow yourself time to heal. This election is destroying you!

Trying to move the attention from the PENN case!

Clintons! Always so good at coverups! But, only converups!

I knew I liked Hillary for some reason.

Bill and Hillary's money is mostly from book sells and speeches. Before you find them guilty without even trying to find the facts out, try doing some research.

Where is Obama's 30 years of taxes (oh, that is right he is only a child) where is all his records.

Judging by the degree of honesty and sincerity we have seen, dare we believe what we see, especially since it took so long to produce documents that were already prepared? Does it take months to run copies of them?

i wanna know who donated to the presidential library…and who do they owe favors to…

Thats What i want to see

Obama 08

You Obamabots are simply unbelievable, now your whining and crying about how much money they made. You people are absolutely incredible.lol

On Friday @ 4pm? That reminds me of someone else… uh.. OH YEAH BUSH!!!!!!!!!!!

Dang it all to pieces…….I wanna work where they've been working. But good for her on FINALLY releasing the taxes. If she is being completely transparent here, why did she take so long?

Let's not forget aMark Penn!

Where are the 2007 returns??

I am so happy to see this. To the Obama supporters; now what?

Hillary must win or the 'Dems' won't get in

HRC for 2008!!!!!!!!!!

WOW .. and they were 10 milion dollars in debt when they left the whitehouse!! What about that Caymans Island Company??

Enough of the Clinton and Bush empires and their millions!!!!
We need a new direction in Washington and Barack Obama WILL BE THE ONE to make the pathway clear for that direction!! It seems to me that "millions of $$$$" often times generate "deceit" and "corruption" in the minds and actions of those who have that financial security!! I have to wonder how much of that $57 million was HONESTLY earned?????

dang…I suspected that she had absoluely no clue about my day-to-day struggles as a single working mom, what my real issues were about hoping that the paycheck keeps the roof over our heads, that there will be food on the table, that I can get the car fixed when it needs fixing, or even whether I'll still have a job next month despite being a hard worker… and I am guessing that I am right! We do not need a priviledged, rich person running the country, I'll rather see someone who understands our fears and struggles. Someone who has proven that through egood parenting, education, and hard work, you will succeed…and that person is Barack Obama!

FOR THAT MATTER..MAKING A JOKE ON LENO WAS TRULY SAD…GREAT COMMUNICATIONS WITH BOSNIA……….LIKE NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

$109 million? it shows how much in common team billary has with blue collars workers!!!

Now most of you wanted Hillary to divorce her husband. Look at her income compared to his income.

The bulk of the income from Bill. The hundreds of speeches he gets paid to give and hundreds of hours speaking he charges a hefty fee.

Hell, Guiliani charged millions for small tour of speaking engagements.

Come one! you stupid Obama's supporters!

Bill Clinton made speech, publish book. That is simple to get huge money.

No wonder you guys support Obama coz you guys are too stupid to know how to make money!

Go Go GO Hillary

BLUE COLLAR????? PUH-LEASE

William from Texas April 4th, 2008 4:11 pm ET

Now that she has released them, and released more than was needed, let's see Obama match that.

UMMMMMMM from 2000 to 2006 how is that 30yrs?

You go girl!
Hillary 08

And we are supposed to believe that SHE understands the struggles and the worries of the working man….I think not. They have made more in 7 years time than most of us will make if we each lived 40 lives working 50 years each life making $50,000.00 each year. No wonder they could afford to give so much personal money to her campaign…

I KNEW IT! I knew she would release them when she gets in trouble!

Wow, it did not really matter that she released the tax returns. Anti-Clinton folks are still complaining!

Where's 2007?

Okay, I just wrote a entry and I see that the hate has already started. The money was made from book deals and speeches, plus Hillary's salary. Hillary has never said she was blie collar and you do not have to be to work for those people's needs. Also, if you want to use that argument, lets not forget that Obama is also a millionaire.

Obamalovers and Clinton haters, you need to grow up.

109 million dollars over the past eight years. That's almost 14 million dollars a year. How much does a U.S. Senator make? That means Bill made almost 14 million dollars a year doesn't it? And how much were they making when he ran for Governor of Arkansas? My, they'vecome a long way, haven't they.

Where are John Bush McCain's
returns and medical records?

where are the year by year details? i dont like all this lumping stuff up in the last 8 years stuff… where is the year to year details so we can see where they got all that money from?

THE PENN DEAL TELLS IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark Penn is still an issue. Now where are your earmarks?

Who is this Mark Penn character??

$109 million. How??????

33 million dollars paid in taxes? That proves the wealthy 3% pay the vast majority of taxes in the United States.

William from Texas

He released his tax for the same years WEEKS ago.

Wow… They definitely make the Obamas look poor.

finally… now all those obama supporters can stop whining.

Oh you people get on my nerves! NEVER EVER SATISFIED.

Well, now Obama must release his tax returns for the last 20 years so we can all see how much he donated to his racist church!

Personally I don't care about the Clintons' income. But now that Hillary has released her income tax returns, I think Americans have the right to know they are authentic. Are these certified copies of her tax returns?

With so many lies, embellishments, lapses of memory, and what not, I for one, do not trust the Clintons any futher than I can throw a piano.

Sounds like the years should be reviewed individually.

.. and I would agree that she released them to distract us from the Penn mess… So, while they are waiting for Obama to slip up to save her chances to win (WHICH ARE NIL), Hillary's campaign is self-destructing…. YES!

OBAMA 08

The former President and first Lady would have gladly paid an additional $8 Million in taxes if the tax codes were the same when he left office.

At least they gave to charity. What has Obama given to improve lives of Americans, probably minimal.

Way to go Hillary, of course doing the right thing will not negate the fact that Penn is fighting for Free Trade. It almost seems like she holds off positives for her campaign until a negative comes out. But I still praise you for the release, just need those Clinton Library Donor list to really show your honesty

Hillary Clinton always follows through on her promises.

HILLARY CLINTON 2009!!!

It took time to make up a second set of records.

Wow, I guess I am in the wrong business.

Obama is an inexperienced-presidential-wannabe.

This does NOT deserve a comment, especially since I personally can not see those returns. I would love to only to see the source of that 109 million income for 6 years. I am very curious about those 2007 tax returns that have not yet been filed and posted. Time is running out or do I hear an "extension" is in order to keep them from being viewed

Did her campaign just say 30 years of tax returns:

Hillary Clinton released her tax returns for the years 2000 to 2006 late Friday afternoon, ending weeks of speculation over her delay in making them public.

They obviously can't count too well. See delegate math as well.

Thank you Hillary, now will you Obamalovers stop the hate…Nothing surprising..We knew they were wealthy…nothing to hide. Gave lots to chairty….paid their taxes….

I can only imagine what you guys will try and distort.

Hillary 08

Her tax returns have been released, but NOT THE NAME OF MAJOR DONORS to the Clinton Presidential Library. Look for some eye-opening revelations.

Sorry Clinton…too little…too late.

Hillary`s 10% versus Obama`s 1% donated

What PENN scandal are you talking about jl? There is no scandal…

NO OBAMA/RICHARDSON!.. I would rather vote for McCain!

Its really upsetting that Hillary lied to Ohio about Nafta. Its upsetting she accused the Obama campaign of talking to the Canadian goverment when it was her campaign that made that call. Its really upsetting that her campaign manager is meeting with Columbia about free trade. I hope she is being honest about these tax returns. This is the last straw, I'm so close to changeing my vote to Obama.

Now we get to see just how far she is from the common person. $109 million in income. That seems pretty far.

It took so long to release them, I don't believe in the validity the returns!

How much of that $109 million from offshore hedge funds, hmm?

Now what Obamabots?????

Hillary stuck to her words…now let's see Obama's and his real estate deal in Chicago.

Typical Clinton. As if we'll forget about today's other news that her chief strategist is fighting for free trade with Columbia.

Sen. Clinton's methods are clearly transparent if she isn't.

I'm an Obama '08 fan but YAY that the Clintons put 10% of their income into charities! This doesn't include the tremendous work Bill Clinton has done with his foundation and book to get OTHERS to donate as well.

BILL CLINTONS BUSNESS DEALING WITH HIS PARTNER IN DUBAI BACK IN 2005 HAPPENED WHEN THE GOVERENMENT OF DUBAI WANTED TO BUY AMERICAN PORTS THAT CAUSED SO OUTRAGE IN THIS COUNTRY.

So why the delay if there is nothing to hide? Probably because they had to "clean them up" first…

Another Lie, can't wait for people to start digging through them.

Now maybe Mr. "I've done nothing but i want to be president" can find something else to pout about.

I know CNN wont post this because its not PRO Obama but I really dont' like Obama so it feels good just to write it to myself. LOL

We'll never see that list of library donors.
