CNN

As an Obama supporter, I have really considered contributing to Hillary, but the more I hear about PUMA (who is reportedly 2 million strong), and the more I hear her supporters claiming they want to be coddled into voting for Obama, I'm leaning more and more towards NOT contributing anything. I have to really think hard about this one.

THANK YOU OBAMA SUPPORTER FOR CONTINUING WITH YOU BIAS AND HATE AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON. YOU JUST PROVED OBAMA IS NOT WORTH SUPPORTING.

YES! THE PARTY INFIGHTING IS CONTINUING.

The bots are out in full mode today, to bad their nasty arrogant attitudes will cost their empty suit to go down in flames.

That is just Hill-AR-ious! It has been such a nice summer not seeing her bugged out eyes with that fake open mouthed smile. Can't get the image out of my head...now I'm starting to hear that God awful cackle again and that shrieking voice.... Now you've done it CNN...you have ruined the whole month of August for me. It will take that long for the voices and images to leave.

Where are all those Hill-Raisers when you need them?

Hmmm donate $10 or $2300 to have the same chance at winning the dinner...

I'd donate $10 to keep her away.

From many of the comments it would appear that someone failed to lock down the computer at the drug rehab center today.

How pathetic.

Please folks, go out and find yourself a life if this is all you have to offer.

It bugs me to no end that I send money monthly to retire a debt that shouldn't have been made, for a candidate that I didn't want, that purposefully and willfully damaged the party, for a campaign that wasted EVERY advantage, and for a candidate who's supporters (at least some of them) are actively trying to win the election for the other side.

Still, I see us as being on the same side and am a strong believer in teamwork, you know hang together or hang separately.

PUMAS are not democrats a real democrat would vote democrat hell and high water with the situation the country is in. Heck, I'm so desperate for a Democrat in the White House that I'd still vote for Hillary, even if she steals the nomination, though I grant I'm not a core Obama supporter and care far more about policy than personality.

I'd probably have her on as short a leash as McCain or Dubya, as far as EVER getting my vote again but no way I squander the nation's future to have vengence.

To Tejano:
You (and yours) are the most puzzling of them all. It is on the issue of illegal immigrants that Hillary and Barrack differed the most, and do you know how? During the L.A. debate at the Kodak Theater, these two questions and responses make me wonder why Mexican Americans dislike Barrack and love Hillary:

Q1. Should illegals have drivers licenses? HRC-no, BHO-yes
Q2. What are you going to do about the epidemic of illegals taking low paying jobs from African-Americans? BHO-illegals are not responsible for unemployment in the Black community. HRC-let's face it, illegals are taking jobs from Black people.

Regardless of who is right on these two questions, I can't understand why Mexican-Americans are pulling for HRC over BHO based on these responses. I also encourage you to look into the type of work Barrack has done for illegals while in Chicago.

I'm putting my money in. Talking to Hillary will make actual bills the becomes laws than Obama and his 'Speech to Nowhere'.

"Her predicament is a great illustration of how the democrats spend money. They spend us into debt and when that happens they just raise taxes to pay for their bloated social programs. Shes $25,000,000 in the hole and begging for money while Ron Paul has a $5,000,000 surplus and is holding his own convention."

Pat I hardly think you are in any position to talk about Democrats spending the country into anything when George W. Bush inherited a $128 billion surplus from the Clinton administration. We now have a debt of what? $485 billion? Come on. Do your research. I do think Hillary Clinton's campaign was irresponsible in their spending; lacking a plan after Super Tuesday, and ignoring long standing delegate math. But you can't apply the "Democrats spend too much" to all Democrats. People need to learn to think for themselves and not just spit back whatever they hear on TV.

She's pathetic.

am sure PUMA will attend . lol

SENATOR PAY NO MIND TO THESE KNOW IT ALL OBO FANS.

ONE THING GORE TAUGHT US IT IS GOOD TO HAVE THE LAST LAUGH!

THAT'S WHY I WILL NOT CAST MY VOTE FOR OBAMA. I'LL HELP YOU WITH YOUR DEBT, BUT NO VOTE FOR THE OBO!

Oops, excuse me, I should have said dinner with Senator Clinton....

Charlotte... you are incredibly immature! Why bother having a process... if you cannot accept the end results! Grow up for goodness sakes.

Bummer, I thought Hillary might be announcing her retirement from public life.

she is already stated she will not seek any money to pay herself, a lot of her donors have tapped out (under the maximum donation guidelines) so this makes it difficult... there are a lot of people that would love to help her but can't because of the rules... so become more educated before you spew your venom. I'm maxed out $2500 if I could I would donate more... but my government will not let me

I'd rather contribute another $25 to Obama for a chance to go to the convention, than any to Senator Clinton for lunch, and that's a fact!!! Remember when all of you PUMA's were complaining about Obama doing this? Now Hillary is doing the same with her lunch idea....If it weren't for all of you PUMA's and your nasty comments about Obama, I and many other Obama supporters would feel different about helping out Senator Clinton.

Obama/Biden (hopefully) or ????

how much you wanna bet that the 'winner' is the person who donates the most.....somebody she can talk into 'helping' her more.

Hillary will soon be free of debt and that will tell her/PUMA's real strength. Obama's money can't buy PUMA's votes.
I can not identify with him or his supporters whom I call DOLCANOS – Dollar spewing volcanos.

Oh darn, when I first saw the article, I thought SHE was retiring from politics....just another plea for money from her strapped contributors.

Good luck with that Hillary.

The DNC needs MONEY for Obama's party in Denver.
So – all Obamabots should be working 2 and 3 jobs this summer to send money.

Mccain should join to hillary for the retirement dinner he really needs to retire

To "Sweetie":
You obviously live in opposite world.
- you want the troops out of Iraq, McCain says why not 100 years.
- you want universal health care, McCain calls it "Socialism"
- you want lower taxes, McCain says the rich first
I'm beginning to think that "Sweetie" actually means "Sh!tty".

Well, if things would have been different in the primaries, I would have helped retire her debt.

Remember when Obama got the nomination....? Hillary and McMaggot, I mean McSame made their speeches on the same night. Anyway, Hillary's campaign manager Terry McAulffe introduced her as the next President of the United States....on Obama's night!

How disrepectful!

Enough said.

Great idea Hillary – count me in!

NObama!
Dems for McCain

Maybe G. W. can "pardon her debts", before he leaves office. She can pay the interest, with her own money! ............................ Just a thought!

Well why did she let herself get into that serious of debt to begin with???

It is common practice for the winning candidate to pay off the other candidate's debt. Mr. mega-bucks Obama lacks the integrity to do so!

Obama really is a one trick pony with a one act drama in which he is a great pretender with no substance! He is an arrogant, egomaniac with an excessive lust for power and a top priority of wining. He has no moral center, no core principles and no judgment!

Also, Obama is too arrogant to choose Hillary as VP, and she is too smart to accept if he did!

I am a former Democrat voting for McCain 08 – a man of character and integrity.

begging for financial help is not a good look for Sen. Clinton– it gives the perception that she's down and out. Anyway its a story and we know CNN loves a HRC story.

I love party flippers, I mean because "your" candidate didn't make it through the primary, then you're switching sides for this election to make a statement? So these McCain Democrats are willing to enable another 4 years of bad policies, a complete Supreme Court shift, more money for big oil and company, less healthcare, less social security, and less tax relieve for middle/low income America? Seriously, to what ends are you wiling to make your point? You'd rather elect the wrong candidate (total opposite of the one you wanted elected) out of spite, and wait 4 years till things are sooooo screwed up to try again. Does this really make sense????

I still think HRC is going to try to upset the Dem. Nat. Convention to get her name on the ticket. If such a fight takes place then "Poor McCain" would have a cakewalk into the White House. It is so sad that this is a grest possibility. Democrats need to come together and pay down her debt and move on. Doing so is not unsual. What is unusal is the size of her debt. That I attribute to poor management of her campaign finances but that is water over the dam and we need to move forward as a united party. We will never be united as long as her supporters continue to be so angry and so demanding that Obama pick her as his #2. That decision is his choice and rightfully so. Let's unite and move on.

Wow! There are some nasty comments to this story today. Can't we just get along????

I guess I will have to pay $10 in just to get me in the running for a dinner but I would rather contribute to Obama's campaign to get my name in the hat to go to the convention in Denver. Neither one will probabaly ever happen because they will pick the winners according to how much they contributed. Big donors will always reap the benefits.

That fork-tongued idiot Howard Wolfson was just on MSNBC still touting how Hillary won more votes than any other candidate in primary history. The problem with that statement is, apart from the obvious presumptuousness, most of the 18 million are identical to her nomination bid. They lack the ability to look beyond their own prejudices to focus on the greater good that this country absolutely requires at this juncture (if you think that last statement was calling you a racist, you are only proving my point...I did not specify "racial" prejudices). The judgment you employ to achieve your end goal is tainted by an ill-fitted end goal. There are more Americans who require something greater than what Hillary has to offer than there are Americans who are satisfied with what she brings to the table. Your inability or reluctancy to understand this is directly related to inability or reluctancy to grasp the concept of SUPPORTING YOUR OWN DARN CANDIDATE (ex candidate, that is)..

Go see John McCain, and join his "Team". He may help you pay off your Debt. But you have to help him: Win The ELection.. You will get a Lot more Respect from Him and the Republicans. Than you ever got from The Idiot Democrats... You were used then, and they will use you again.........

If you have the money, then give it if you want. As long as the money goes to the creditors. She took a risk with her own money just as Romney did. He's already stated that he's not going to ask for his back.

At any rate, don't think of it as helping Sentor Clinton, but rather helping out hard working Americans who performed a service and should be paid. Just my 2 cents.

Dem's unite!!

It's a stalemate. PUMA's need to retract their claws. Obama supporters need to forgive and embrace. What to do, what to do?

Hillary and Barack: It's your party. What was once a spirited campaign, has ended badly. It's the price we all pay for using Kitchen Sink attack strategies.

My comments hardly ever get posted any more... However, this attempt at recouping money for a campaign that should have known when to quit is simply pathetic! I'm glad she won't be in charge of America's fiscal responsibilities.

I agree........if these 18 Million voters of hers in PUMA are willing to follow her campaign and support John McCain because their panties are in a bunch over Hillary losing, what's the deal?

CALLING ALL YOU PUMA IDIOTS........BAIL THE OLD BAG OUT OF DEBT, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

GO OBAMA!!!!

WHERE ARE THOSE 18 MILLION SUPPORTES AND THOSE CRAZY PUMA PEOPLE?

I am sure that this point has been made before, but I still do not understand why if 18 million people did actually vote for HRC, why they have not stepped forward to help her retire her campaign debt. At 60 years old, and being a female, it truly doesn't make much sense to me that her friends and supporters would allow her to continue to struggle to collect money if they believed in her as they said they did.

I DONT THINK MRS.CLINTON HAD 18MILLION VOTERS AS SHE CLAIM TO HAVE BECAUSE WHY ARE THEY NOT HELPING HER WITH HER DEBT.I THINK HALF OF THOSE FOLKS WERE REPUBLICANS TRYING TO PUSH HER OVER SO SHE CAN RUN AGAINST JOHN MCCAIN. IF I HAD A PENNY TO GIVE SHE WOULDNT GET IT REMEMBER CLINTON YOU SAY JOHN MCCAIN WOULD BE A BETTER PRESIDENT THEN OBAMA SO ASK HIM HA HA HA.

If I had it, I'd pay every dime if it meant the ClintonS were retired and promised to never come back.

GO OBAMA!! (and go home, Hillary).

All she needs is 1 dollar per vote. That's only 100 pennies.

Put your money where your mouths are!

Pathetic
Uneducated
Misguided
Americans

I have NO problems with Hillary, but her supporters are just hateful.

Obama '08

To all you bloggers asking PUMA to pay her debt, we're trying. Don't know how much has been paid down since the figures have yet to be released.

To the rest of you denigrating PUMA's, shut your mouths because it is WE who will be the deciding factor in this election. Yes, that's right...women over 40 decide most of the presidential races because we are the most consistent voters.

To the rest of you Hillary-haters...HA HA HA HA HA. The Messiah can't win without us now can he? He should be 10-15 points above McCain, but isn't. Wonder why that is? He's practically tied with "the old man". Could it be the "older, senile" voters are coming out in droves to support him?

And by the way, I'm going to now ask that you refer to us as White-Americans. If it's politically correct to call people African-Americans, although none of the blacks in this country were born in Africa, then it should be politically correct for us to refer to ourselves as White-Americans.

she's got $100 million in the bank .. minus 25 .. leaves her with 75 million ONLY. Please donate!!!!

Something tells me this isn't just for her debt but also for her 2012 stock pile...uggghhh! toxic

I could chip in again if she becomes a presidential candidate (not for a VP spot though), but I will not spend a penny to pay off a debt of a former candidate. Mainly, because she is in debt mostly to herself. I'd rather pay my bills, while Bill could pay hers.

Ready to make a donation for Clinton/Clark 08 ticket.

I agree with the posts that ask the question-where are the PUMA people? Where are those 18 million supporters? If they would give $1.38 her debt would be retired. Why no stories about her sale on her office furniture? I stumbled on that information. Her debt has not been reduced at all???? That is hard to believe. She is a disgrace to women that are real leaders. Hillary supporters- PAY HER BILLS!

Who pays for the dinner?

She should invite the PUMA's (Politicaly Unethical Misguded Anger) to her shin-dig. let them pay off her debt.

Let's see: eighteen million people times $1.50 should do it. There, that should do it plus a little over for her to go to lunch.

Something tells me Hillary will leave you to pick up the tab for dinner too.

she living in big mansion just look like wh in ny ..many sinile people dont know it. Real sucker moron

He who laughs last, laughs best!

Come election night the Clinton's will be yucking it up major league after Obama is sent packing. I just hope it's not more than poor Bill's heart can take.

THERE YOU GO ALL YOU PUMA

YOU MAY NOW PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS

SINCE YOU FEEL HILARAY IS SO GREAT YOU CAN TRY TO WIN A DINNER WITH HER

HELP HER PAY OFF HER DEBT SO WE DONT HAVE TO HEAR HER WHINNING ABOUT IT ANYMORE.

OBAMA IS SOMEONE TO BELIEVE IN 08"

The PUMA's need to put their money where their mouths are...If there are Soooooo many of you and you are sooooo powerful then why does your heroine still have so much debt? Maybe its because they are secret Republicans or maybe they are just media plants so they have another anti-Obama story to make it seem like Sir McGaffalot actually has a chance...

Hey JB, when you enter the game of politics you ought to be ready for mud-slinging. Hillary isnt any different. So keep yourself and ur bitter PUMAS in check!! Kapish?

I will be contributing to help pay off her debt, just as I contributed to her campaign. I really hope she is selected as Obama's V.P. candidate because I think that is the best way to unify the party and beat McCain. I'm really disappointed by all the bickering and mean comments on this board. To all of you who are democrats: Hillary has spent her life trying to help the litle guy (look it up, do a little reading about her, whatever). Barack is a rising star who I hope can put an end to divisive politics in Washington. The two of them would be unbeatable in the general election. And as a human being, please remember that anger, bitterness, jealousy, and pettiness do much more damage to your soul and spirit than to anyone you are trying to hurt.

Lisa at 12:27: Keep dreaming Obama will win without Hillary.
He also received 18 million votes without the help of Rush Limbaugh's Operation Chaos. If Hillary really did have all those votes and you are all so upset about it then why is she still in debt. 18 million people giving $2 a piece would clear the debt with $ to spare. Now she has to sell her time to get $ ,and Obama's supporters should be scared of Hillary supporters voting for Mccain don't make me laugh.

Get over it Lisa... cause it will eat you up inside. Turn the frown upside down.

I will contribute to Hillary if she directly talks to the PUMA's and those in Florida that vandalized cars by spraying racial epithets against Sen. Obama. If she makes more of an effort to unite the party then I will contribute.

RETIRE HER DEBT? Excuse me...Hill & Bill have more money and always will, than most people who support or would vote for her. For crying out loud, they both have jobs, (getting payed) security (wealth) and health insurance (paid for by taxpayers), SHE CAN AFFORD TO PAY HER OWN DEBT, just like me and anyone else who makes BAD decisions and runs up the bills when they should NOT. People in this country are losing their jobs, insurance, retirement plans and homes and the economy is in the toilet. Many people can't even go anywhere because of high gas prices. What the hell is wrong with people and a country who would prey on less fortunate persons to get the "rich" out a self-inflicted JAM. This just speaks to what I knew all along, that she is in this for her, that loser Bill and "C". She doesn't care about you, me or this country, she is using all of it for self purpose. Anybody that gives Hill or Bill money at this point, for ANYTHING, needs to be examined by medical professionals. What R U thinking? I pray the Clinton's just go away and are never heard from again.

Here is your chance PUMA fans. Put your money where your mouth is and donate to Hillary's debt. Real followers would seize this opportunity.

wendyone for your information, barack obama is receiving funding from small donors. a lot of them! no off shore anything here! no scandals or hidden tricks trick. just a bunch of people who no good from bad, truth from lies. clinton started and noe mccain thinks that he'll fare better than hillary did. it's early yet. remember barack said he won't be swiftboated. mccain had better watch out. fair exchange is no robbery.

HILLARY SHOULD PAY HER OWN DEBT. SHE HAS THE LIBRARY, PROPERTY OR HAVE BILL GIVE ENOUGH SPEECHES TO PAY OFF HER DEBT. OBAMA SHOULD NOT ASK HIS SUPPORTER TO HELP HILLARY, I AM NOT GIVING HILLARY ANYTHING, I NEED MY MONEY FOR GAS AND OTHER PERSONAL NEEDS.

If I send in $5, can I write it off as charity?

@ Lisa "Keep your money, I will continue to bash Obama as long as Hillary is not on the ticket."

Ha...So Lisa, you are going to throw temper tantrums and spew hate for the rest of your life? Becasue she ain't going to be on the ticket. Wow, now thats dedication to bitterness if ever I heard it.

You (and other mal-contents) keep posting things like no Hillary, no Obama vote.
When will you finally get it through your skulls that we have the numbers on ours side and that your threats of extortion are impotent.
You can vote or write in whomever youi want. I know this just kills you, Lisa, but we really dont care anymore.

LISA – If you love Hillary so much why don't you and the other 18 million of your loyal co-hearts contribute $2.00 each to her mismanaged and lost campaign and help her get out of debt. Put your money where your vote is.

I bet she'll think twice before once again spending money on a campaign after it was obvious she had lost...

For that matter, given the protracted nature of Primaries, any candidate that has lost could say "I haven't really lost yet"...borrow lots of money...go way in debt...and make a headache for the winner.

Such behavior should not be encouraged... If Hillary can not repay her debt, it will incentivize future candidates to behave themselves...which I have no problem with.

Gwen is South Carolina...

Actually, I think around 15% of black people have been loyal to the Clintons... The rest voted for skin color and an empty suit.

Obama = a telepromter and an empty suit

His biggest accomplishment in the Senate was an Ethics bill. He's so ethical he plagarizes speeches.

Oh, a bigger question. How does a law professor such as Obama not know where he stands on gun control. He flip-flopped on the D.C. gun ban. Pretty clear cut to me. Law abiding citizens should not be prohibited from owning guns. I'm not even a lawyer.

Hillary 08 or McCain if necessary

I think she needs to forgive the debt owed to herself. Unless, of course, she borrowed that as well. If she expects me to pony up even as little as $10 so she can pay her own bank account back, she's got another thing coming. It was her decision to float those loans. She should have expected that she would have to pay them back if she lost – and she should have recognized that losing was a very real possibility. So, not having a contingency for that is very poor planning on her part and not an obligation on the part of her supporters.

So if you subtract what she "owes" herself...she is only 12 million dollars in debt...Big difference between claiming to be 25 million and the actual amount of 12 million. Since this was a "loan" to herself, I wonder what the "interest" rate was? Just have Bill "write" another book about his escapades during her campaign run.

I am putting a double sawbuck in the mail wish I could afford to give more. Not to worry her supporters I have a feeling shez goin tobe back oh yes......

shut up about michelle obama susie. you're not 1/1000th of the woman she is. you want to do something, put your coins where your mouth has obviously been for far too long...planted snuggly against the rear-end of hillary clinton. 18 million supporters my arse! i'd bet dollars to donuts that bupwards of 40% of those were repugnicans trying to spoil the democrat[ic] party's nominating process. and to think so many fools fell for it! what a joke.

Since both Hillary and Obama are on Judicial Watch's 2007 List of Top 10 Corrupt Politicians...why are any of us Americans voting for them? If we vote for corruption...we will get more corruption! McCain is currently breaking campaign finance laws...you are not going to get any "change" with any of these candidates. Until we Americans wise up and ONLY vote for decent Americans, then we will only continue the downward spiral we've been in......just my opinion....

Susie:

What on God's green earth does paying down Hillary's debt have to do with Michelle Obama saying she "had to think about voting for Hillary" during the primaries? As I recall, Hillary said cruel things about Barack.

Stick to the point of the article. Are you going to donate? Probably not. You're just one of the sour puss PUMA's, all blog and no action.

I can't afford to give much but for a Lady that has my back as a State Senator, and future President I am going to give what I can willingly.
LOL Hilly

Stuipid person on the Board

Idiot you should be the last person calling some an idiot, you're supporting a candidate that believe America has 57 states!

Where's all these "PUMA" clowns?

Let those retards pay off her debt and then see how much they really want her

THE ROOMER IS THAT THE WINNER WILL BE IN THE NEWS

AND A PICTURE WILL BE POSTED ON

THE HILLARY'S INTERNET SIGHT.

HOE COOL IS THAT ???

If you want to play YOU gotta pay.
I advise all those Hillary supporters that are going to vote for McCain or are staying home in November to call the good senator and Email him profusely. I am sure he will gladly bail your candidate out!
If not, I am sure when McCain is President the first thing he will do is write off Hillary's debt while enthusiastically promoting her HealthCare plan!
Be smart and vote
Obama in 08!

CNN Moderators: Why did my post get hung up? What was so offensive in it? Especially compared to the hate from all sides that you publish daily?

I wanted to try to come back to your blogs since it's been a several weeks since I posted. Is there no difference of opinion to be had here anymore? Would it have been better if I tried to insult someone?

=====wow=====

===================the clintons worth more than $ 100,000,000

and still beg for more $$$$$.

Hillary supporters will continue to bash Obama as much as they can as long as Hillarys debt remains. Obama just says what he needs to say to try and drain all the Hillary supporters of their funds. His supporters care less if Hillary pays off her debt or not. cheep skates and liers everyone of them. Can't trust a word they or their mixed blood messiah Oreo says.

I HATE TO SAY IT SO I WONT, BUT DIDN'T JOE LOUIS DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE HEADING DOWN SKID ROW?

The PUMAS are freaking Reptilicans going for the psych...

I hope McCain is elected. Then he can help get Roe v. Wade overturned. I don't think women should be allowed to make their own health decisions.

I'd gladly pay to help retire Bush, Cheney, McLane and, oh yes, Hill's husband Bill.They all deserve each other.

Hillary is not the only one asking for money, Obama campaign has sent envelops to Hillary supporters and asked for support as well! I sent the envelope back to Obama campaign with a big zero on the check last week. Hope they will know the message!

What?

Yeah – I'm with Charlie. I'd pay not to have to hear from the Clintons again. And if I won, I'd give her the night off. No way do I want to have dinner with that train wreck.

ALL I KNOW IS THAT OBAMA WILL WIN THIS NOVEMBER AND HE WILL BE THE GREATEST PRESIDENT.

Who cares! No more Clintons, EVER! Down with the idiot PUMA coalition! Down with McCain and the entire GOP (Greedy Old People)! Go Obama! Make us able to wave the flag with pride again! I love my country, but have been pretty ashamed of the politics of deception that has been the cornerstone of Bush's "legacy". Hillary doesn't deserve a dime of anyone's hard-earned money. She came close to destroying this election which would have left a sizable percentage of Americans bewildered and disenchanted, yet again!

CNN-Thank you for letting me know. I just sent a contribution.

. . . .so how come the "If not Hillary, then McCain" supporters are not helping her out.

Or are they just wimps?

Oh wait, they're really Repugs incognito.

OMG is the LISA person on this comment board an idiot or what? I mean really HRC needs to go pay her debt herself because if she wasn't so stubborn and dropped out the primary when she knew she didn't stand a chance, she wouldn't have this debt. I mean really is that mis management or what!!! Oh and for all you folks who don't want to support Obama so be it!!!
I just know that I'm going to feel a lot better knowing that I didn't help cause it by voting for a Republican!!!

First of Lisa you are an idiot crybaby, that's why we clown on you and your Hillarites fellow groupies. Okay, Hillary let me help you out here, If I get a credit card, max out the credit card, why should my friend help me pay my credit card off? Sounds like an accountability issue, no pund intended. I will echo many others, an alledge 18 mill voted for Billary, don't all you have 2 bucks to lend your lovable loser? Oh that's right, you numb nuts may have already gave it to McCain out of spite. Well, get ready American for our next and 44th President of the United States, President Barack Obama, there are more people who love him, than there a people who hate his skin. Now go have a bake sale Hillarites and help your girl out.

PErsonnally, I think Obama can have all his black supporters that are still criticising Clinton. They say that she threw them under the bus. I think it is them that threw her under the bus because her skin isn't black. I hope they get what they deserve. They certainly don't deserve the support from Clinton supporters. We ponyed up for Obama with the promise that they would pony up and help Clinton and it never happened. All they can do is criticise Clinton even though she has been helping oreo get money for his campaign. This negativity is getting me to think McCain is a better choice for President with every foul nasty oreo supporter. I can only shake my head at how stupid they are. The race isn't over boys. Don't get over confident. I will never support black rights for anything after this. They can all go back where they came from and bask in the hell that is Africa.

If ONLY she would retire!!!

To stupid person on board!!

You are the only stupid on on this blog. Obama is going down!! I can't wait to see this happen. This election is for him to win or lose and he will lose it with all you morons who worship him.

McCain 08

Maybe I should ask to have a retirement party so I can retire my overpriced mortgage. Oh wait, what do people say? It's my own fault. Well...her debt is her own fault and she should pay for it herself and stopping begging. of course it is ok for her to owe millions but when I have trouble paying a 180k mortgage because I was laid off...well..all of a sudden I am looked at like a degenerate.

This is Lisa:

Wa!! Wa!! Wa!! … I know I sound like a fool … but I love Hillary. I just can’t live without Hillary. I quit school to help her win the white house and now I have no life. I hate Obama. That bad man ruined my plans… Wa! Wa!! Wa!!!.

$25 million???? STILL????

WHERE ARE ALL OF THESE "OUTRAGED" (ahem) "SUPPORTERS" OF HERS???

the question that keeps on asking.......

I BLAME PUMA FOR MAKING HER THINK SHE HAD A FOLLOWING THAT WOULD SUPPORT HER DURING GOOD AND BAD TIMES. SHE WOULD HAVE NEVER PUT UP HER OWN MONEY IF SHE NEW THE SUPPORT SHE HAD WAS SO FAIR WEATHERED.

Just a short message would envigorate dem electorate:

Clinton/Clark 08

To Lisa and all the rest of you ex HRC supporters/PUMA girls /closet racists......she's obviously still in debt otherwise your queen wouldn't still be begging for money (dinner with her?????? how pathetic).

Instead of bashing Obama out of pure jealousy (as Bush Sr. plainly put it).....put your money where your mouth is.

jack arses.

If the PUMA's are more than 1 million strong then if they all give 10.00 that will settle more than half her debt... ohhh wait, now that would only work if there were really 1 million PUMA's, not 1 person couning herself a million times.

VOTE MCCAIN in O8

So no to Obamabots and Billary's

STUPID PERSON On Board!!! July 29th, 2008 1:33 pm ET

To Lisa ………..if you contribute as much as you open your stupid Mouth it would help …..in other words put your money where your brain is…IDIOT!!!!

uuummmmmm...........what?

This actually got me laughing, "...put your money where your brain is..." I really don't think you should be calling anyone an idiot... why did you capitalize "Mouth" again?

I don't care about Hillary and her debt. But the fact that Obama is the nominee, and not Hillary, means I will not be voting for a Democrat for president this year. This will be a first for me. I just have to decide whether to vote for McCain, leave the presidential box blank and vote a straight democratic ticket otherwise, or just stay at home.

Guess that Obama isn't really keeping his word to Hillary after all. One more white lady thrown under the bus. Hillary can say hi to Obama's mother there.

Good Luck Hillary, It would be great to have dinner with you any time.

@ Charlotte....you like your candidate need to learn the rules...she can't run as an independent b/c she participated in the democratic primaries. Move on your candidate did.

There is so much hate with Dems supporters on both sides namely the HRC supporters and PUMA It is not too Late ...Unity is the only WAY.Please Stop NOW!!!

Sen. Clinton don't accept the VP post if offered by Bary Husein. Just prepare urself in the next presidential election.

Apparently, all the Clinton supporters are either donating to Obama or McCain now. Too bad that that Obamas lip service to have his supporters help retire her debt was just that- lip service. Just like his policies will be if he manages to get into office. All pretty words with no substance.

Susie, when did Mrs. Obama say that she would not vote for Senator Clinton if she were the presidential campaign? Where do you get your news from? The tabloids? Or just make things up as you go?

Stupid, uninformed people like you make this country a very dangerous place to live in.

I have no problems with a woman as president at all. I just don't think that Hillary Clinton would be a wise choice for that role. I also think that counting her own $13 million into her total owed investor debt is ridiculous since that was a personal loan of her own money to herself. She really only needs to pay back $12 million in debt, the rest is her own money which she owes to no one. It is reported officially to the FEC, but is not owed and therefore should not be touted like it is part of this huge $25 million debt she owes. The fact that nearly 2 months after the election her debt is STILL at $25 million makes me question the loyalty of her 18 million voters. If every single one of them donated $1.39 (one dollar and 39 cents) her entire $25 million would be retired. Apparently no one is donating at all.

JB

I will donate 5 bucks so you can go buy a clue! Hillary is a tough old bird that has bigger balls than Bill ever dreamed of for you to come on here and play the oh she just a poor women bit is really tired an old. I get tired of all these idiots screaming sexism! the candidate herself compared herself to rocky balboa! I mean if a lesbian goes and shaves her hair and grows a beard calling her a Lesbian is not a bad thing it is just the truth! Hillary dug this hole all on her own and now she can find her own way out and all these oh poor hillary babies grow up! There was nothing sexist no more than racist in this campaign. There has been nothing but respect for the women on the side of Sen Obama even when alot of his supporters did not like here. There was alot of us democrats that never liked the Clinton's either one!

And just where does she think this money is coming from? Bill signed NAFTA, Bush signed FREE TRADE, and McCain wants to stay in IRAQ indefinitely (that's costing Billions-A-Month)...DO THE MATH!

Yet again this proves that Hillary didn't have 18 million supporters, only operation chaos republicans causing havoc!!!! You people are so funny – yes you 1 million Clinton loyalist.

$3,000 for a dinner? Holy crap!! I mean, Madam Senator, I am a big supporter of you and all, but if I have to spend $3K on a dinner, I am going to have to expect more than just policy talk. Sorry, that's just the way it works.

Lisa

You have a lot of hot air about Obama why don't you use some of that hot air to help hillary raise money? Hillary won't be on the ticket so you might as well help her get some of her money back, by doing fund raisers for her. It's over for her and all you hateful remarks about Obama won't change that.

Obama

Why doesn't Hillary just get off her broom, wave her wand, and make the debt disappear? She could also cast a spell on Obama and turn him into a frog.

Why is she doing things the hard way?

My guess is that Obama supporters will not donate to her campaign debtr until she gets out there and repairs the damage she did both to Obama and the party.

JB: What poll or statistics do you have to back up that claim??

The majority of you idiots on these blogs don't have 2 cents to donate to either Obama or Clinton. All you do is say derogatory things about
McCain. because you can't tout the accomplishments of your African Idol.

The PUMA's are all talk and no action!!

I'd pay for the chance to ask her why she underestimated her opponent... the most premier rule in any competition.

Mike in MN – Where do you get your numbers from?

Gallup has Obama up, 47% to McCain's 41% today

That is a really bad tactic. This woman who claims to be the voice of millions of WOMEN is resorting to an auctioned "dinner with Hillary"? Sounds way too much like a bake sale to me. As a woman, I would never stoop to this to raise money – it's common and not very creative. Hillary, use your brain and your chutzpah and go on the speaker circuit to raise the dough.

I was happy to donate $50.00 for the T-shirt and will also donate for the dinner. It's not easy, I live on SSDI. but I feel perfectly fine about it.

As far as PUMS donations go, you won't see the bump until the numbers come out in August. The biggrst PUMA pushes for donations started around the 4th of July. The blog I contribute through isn't huge by any means, but since that weekend they've collected about $14,000, remember that just one of over 250 PUMA blogs.

People seem to ignore that she is not asking for her personal loans to the campaign to be repaid by her supporters.

Please feel free to denigrate me as stupid, racist, old, etc., etc., etc. Anonymous insults over the internet have no effect on my self worth.

Sad and desperate...like she doesn't have a bunch more money of that $101 million earning interest somewhere...Pathetic, really.

Good luck with that Senator Clinton.
I'd rather have a meal and spend more money on my fiance'.

Yes We Will
Obama 08'

To Lisa ...........if you contribute as much as you open your stupid Mouth it would help .....in other words put your money where your brain is...IDIOT!!!!

you guys are talking like you know stuff. she's not allowed to pay the whole bill w/ her own money!

How about spending more time in the office doing what you were elected to do instead of out campaigning for this loser and ruining any chance you have of running in 2012 after the 1st McCain term.

If I give her $10 will she promise to go away forever – and take Bill with her?!?

Simply amazing, CNN. Obama and McCain are competing for the U.S. presidency with Obama coming off a successful overseas tour to refocus again on the economy and CNN (Clinton News Network) spews out free publicity for Hillary's presidential campaign debt.

It is truly a shame for Hillary to be begging for money after the negative and divisive campaign she ran with Mark Penn and others. Her and Bill have earned over 100 million dollars in the last 8 years.

My question is what happened to those 18 million plus voters/supporters Hillary was much touting about in May and early June? Did all the PUMAs max. out their $2,300 contribution?

Sorry Hillary, I'm not paying Mark Penn off for you, that was your decision, and yours alone!

The Democratic leaders so eager to jump on the ObamaBandwagon, they rigged the nominating process, makes votes count as half, not really letting the people decide. Since they do not value democracy, I will just vote McCain this November and urge all Hillary supporters to do the same.

I might give to have lunch with a Senator. Even thought I support Obama, it would great to meet her and say thanks for your service to our country. Do any of you out there in cyber space see this PUMA movement as a real threat. As a DEM I would hate to lose this election due to party infighting. I for one think it is Rove blogging away. Well anyway, it's a good idea. Maybe it might be YOU!!

You PUMA babes should just get out your purses. To the victor goes the spoils and the best MAN won.

When she bought the services and products from the venders, did she tell them she didn't have any money and they would have to wait for their money, or did she lie to them? Did she promise to pay in 30 days? Should she go to jail for fraud?

Hillary had better be on the ticket! This race is staying too close to consider an unknown as the running mate. Hillary '08!

And I think election rules forbid her from paying the bills herself, so that "poor" people can run for something. I doubt she'd be dragging this out when she could easily write a check and move on. It's the rules, people!
(Like the ones that put Obama in in the first place...and that's not sour grapes, that's a fact!)

Hey Hill,

Why don't you send old Bill on over to Columbia and make a few deals and you'll be all set. Can you say CAFTA?

Had you used good judgement and got out of the race in March, when it was clear it was over for you, you could have saved yourself and the Democratic party a great deal of money and hard feelings.

Thanks a lot, Mrs. Clinton.

GO OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12

No thanks!!

I sure wish I could rack up 25 million in debt trying to inflate my ego and status by running for president. Then when knowing I can't win after a few weeks and decide to stay in till the end since my ego can not handle the reality of losing. Now sure I said I had over 100 million when I released my tax records and have the means to pay off my own debt that I created.

But why do that when I can get some idiot fool that still believes in me to pay a lot of money to have dinner with me. And I can get the other fool I ran against to campaign for me to pay off my debt.

What reality does this fool Hillary live in.

No thanks. I have better things to do. It sounds like she is running up more debt anyway. I am glad I support Obama. He manages MY money well.

Note to JB: I'm sorry you feel so upset by all this. (More so than Hillary I'm sure). I am a middle-aged woman and I am not insecure and would love to see a woman as president just not this woman. There are far too many issues with her. She confirmed what a lot of men already think and that is we are too emotional and hard to work with and they are right. I try not to even work with women in my law firm. Don't give up though HRC would make a great house speaker and Supreme Court justice.

Obama/Biden

NY State of mind July 29th, 2008 12:35 pm ET

She should worry about her states debt annonced today, It's her job to fix that before worring about a mess she made for herself!

--------------------------------

Explain to me how it is the responsibility of a US Senator to fix a state's budget problems.

You, and the many like you, are the reason why the wrong people get elected to office. And you're making sure it happens again this year. Please educate yourself.

** Nader/Gonzalez 2008 **

Hillary's fiasco of a campaign needs donations from the folks who love her so much.

Hillary chose to continue her futile campaign knowing full well she had NO Chance of overcoming Obama's lead. She made the decision to keep spending money and bashing Obama. Now she expects Obama supporters to give her money? I don't think so, Hillary. Pay your own bills, you ran them up. You bashed Obama to the bitter end, you played the Republican playbook that's why you lost. If the shoe were on the other foot, you and your supporters would tell Obama to pound sand. You have done nothing to help Obama since your concession speech, your supporters are still whining and stating they will vote for McCain. Let's face it, Hillary would rather have McCain win so she can run again in 2012. Take a hike Hillary, you won't get a dollar from me.

I don't have anything against Hillary but I don't see how she should be asking for money when she made the decision to borrow it in the first place. I find it interesting that no one is really scrutenizing McCain's financing during the primaries. Didn't really seem like he played by the rules, and potentially did some illegal things in order to finance his campaign.

"She should write it off as a "BAD INVESTMENT"!! I thought NOBAMA was going to help her out – seems as though he has lots of money from "WHERE"? Anybody figure out where he's getting all his money yet? Rumor is a lot of it is from "OFFSHORE SOURCES"!!"

Obama gets his money from donors like me. I'm a disabled Iraq War veteran who so far has donated $300 in $10-50 increments to Obama. Unlike Hillary, who had a small donating base of wealthy individuals who maxed out their donations of $2300 early in the campaign, and a large non-donating base of strident clanging idiots, Obama has a lot of people in the middle. Young professionals, college students, active duty and veterans, who don't max out their donations, but who give what they can when they can.

If Obama and Clinton wanted to raise $23 million dollars, Obama would look for a million people to donate $23, while Hillary would look for ten thousand people to donate $2300. Problem is, as Hillary found out, once those ten thousand wealthy people are tapped out, there's nothing more they can give. But the Obama supporters can all donate another $23, and another, and another.

Obama is getting his money from Americans. Americans who believe in the future and not in racism and fear and divisiveness. Get on board.

Not interested Hillary-you ran up the debt and for no good reason since you were beat anyway--you pay it off from the $100 million on your tax return.

You;ve got a big nerve asking for money when you ran your campaign like a rookie.

I would gladly pay $10 for a chance to dine with Senator Clinton.

BTW..You Obama supporters really need to give the Clinton bashing a rest. You're getting as bad as those PUMA dopes.

This whole childish thing is getting old..the name counting and finger pointing is getting tired.

Both camps need to grow up...what are we in highschool?

This is so funny that it's PATHIC! (:

So now... where are all of those Hillary supporters now?

Oh, Hillary would be ready on day One, oh and she is a strong leader, and oh, every one hates a woman leader, and oh, we love Hillary, and oh, we will not vote for Obama, and oh, Obama is an empty suite, and oh, we will vote for McSame...

Yeah... so much love and support for your girl Hillary!

Money talks baby! Yeah... you wanted Hillary to win – you voted for her but just like her... you half-stepped by not REALLY supporting!!!

I bet a lot of those who voted for Hillary were repubicans!!!

You ever noticed that when this blog is about giving Hillary money how some of her supporters don't show up???

Go Bam! Show them how to do it! You did great last week!

Obama shines...
McSame whines...

Auctioning off her "presence."

Her supporters should be ashamed. You urged her on, you still urge her on but you don't "support" her in this.

"Hillary, I'm all yours! (as long as it doesn't COST me anything.)"
-nice support- NOT!

She should pay us 10.00 to 2500.00 to join her for Dinner. What a fraud!!

Its nice that Hillary is alot smarter and obviously alot more sane than some of her supporters are.

Foreign press are now doing the job of vetting obama, to bad cnn,ms/nbc ect has no good old American values, and lie to the American people. what a shame,

"Good Luck to all the Obama supporters that thinks he's going to win without Hillary on the ticket."

What does she bring to the ticket besides experience with failing?

What goes around, comes around...

I think that is a really nice idea! I hope her supporters will contribute and help her out.

If I had a dime to spare I would spend it on McCain.

I already spend all the extra I could to see you in Office.

I wanted you to take it to the floor, but you gave in to someone who is not qualified or electable.

Now I'm a McCain Democrat!

McCain 08

Hillary Clinton racked up $25 million dollars in debt and lost to the new guy. She was far and away in the lead for longer then any other primary contender, but still couldn't manage to win the race. Her "experience" consisted of being a lawyer for Wal-Mart, married to a previous President, and a term and a half in the Senate. Actual elected experience? Not much more then Obama. And with all that experience and judgment, she still couldn't run her campaign and win the nomination.

Clearly this means she must be the best choice for vice president or president. Clearly a complete inability to manage a campaign or control her finances means that if she isn't Obama's running mate we shouldn't vote for Obama. Nothing like several months of failure followed by desparate begging for cash to indicate that somebody has the experience and judgment necessary to be President, Vice-President, or City Dog-catcher.

Come on, CNN! You need to cover this! No more free rides for McCain!
-------------------------------–

McFlipFlop is at it again! After repeatedly saying that he would not raise taxes, McCain now says he will raise the payroll taxes if needed!

This is HUGE because the repubs always try to scare voters by saying that the Democrats are going to raise your taxes.

Good idea!!!!!!!!!!

Your comments are vicious and inaccurate.

Clinton has helped retire debt of her competitors, and has raised vasts amounts of money for other Democrats' campaigns. She is NOT EXPECTING anyone to retire her debt. She is asking for help from those who CHOOSE to help. I chose to because THAT is my personal choice.
You may choose to or choose not to, which is YOUR personal choice.

She is not expecting help to pay her personal loans, only the 10 million to other vendors.

By the way....let's talk about the DNC....(THAT OBAMA CONTROLS)...the debt in order to participate at the convention, was first scheduled as HAD to be paid back PRiOR to the convention. But then the DNC moved it up to the end of July, THEN moved it up to July 10th. How slimy is that? Now you have to ask yourselves why Hillary supporters will have a hard time voting for Obama!

Dang, it smells like PUMAs in here. Someone get some spray...

PUMA's and hard working "white" people, it's time to pay up and support your favorite person in the world.

And she wanted to be president.. She couldn't even run a campaign... Hillary should tuck tail and hide

Hillary aint got no debt she wants to raise money and bank it for 2012 well i can tell you know if her supporters dont support barack obama she can forget this obama supporters help in 2012 karm what goes around comes around!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comments such as A CANUCKs are crude and tasteless. I get so tired of the, "insult only", comments on this blog. The VP choice will be the most important decision either of the candidates will make. Who they pick may well determine who will be the next POTUS. Right now the race is pretty tight, which is surprising given the current administrations rating. This is not a sure thing for either of the candidates. I would be very careful who I would choose if I were in their shoes. I personally hope Hillary is not Obamas choice, as she is too good for second place. I will write her on my ballot in November and pray she wins. If all her supporters write her name, if possible in their state, it will at the very least throw a kink in the process.

Now if she invited all of her 18 million voters and fractionated the retirement dinner into several sittings, the cost of the dinner would be $1.66 per person. Now that is not a bad deal.......even for Hillary.

Don't worry about her 18 million supporters, they will come out and play on November 4th when they either write Hillary's name on the ballot, stay home or vote for Mccain.

The Clintons are nothing but a pair of parasites, they actually want the average Joe to pay down their campaign debt? Give me a break, you've got millions of dollars, pay your own debt deadbeats!

This Hillary supporter will not pay for her debts, let Obamites do the charity. I know for sure that a lot of Obamites have sent money to Hillary already because they need all Hillary backers to get on Obama's bandwagon.

You are dead wrong baby!!!!

huh SUSIE??

Its Michelle Obama's american right to vote for whoever she wants and change her mind if she wants. Free will is our God given right.

I just contributed. I will keep contributing. The level of hatred for Hillary from the Obama camp just baffles me. The lady has said she will do all she can to help Obama win and is going on the road in the coming months to help Obama. What else do you want from her? Get a grip on life. She is here to stay. She is strong, she is powerful and she has leaverage. I am not voting for Obama. My vote is not for SALE.

Let’s get over the narrow minded views that we held during the primaries. Simply put, this is a distraction that the DEM Party doesn’t need and I could care less for those of you who adore Hillary, America is bigger than the Clintons. Nuff said.

Hey Lisa – looks like it don't matter what you do. Have you read these blogs? People aren't crazy about your girl and judging by her debt they don't believe in her either. Continue to bash Obama if that makes your petty mind happy. Don't you hate it though that you can't blame her debt on Obama, it's the result of her poor management of her campaign and its finances. Hahaha

I love Hillary Clinton!

No Hillary, no vote for Obama.

No, we're NOT "getting over it."

Who would give a penny to a woman who kept on fighting even though she knew since March she had no chance of winning, spending millions of hard won money by her blue-collar supporters. I'm glad though that the majority of her supporters see trough it and aren't giving a dime to that lunatic.

It's funny to see how many republicans are pretending to be Democrats. Such childishness is laughable to anyone with some intelligence.

She's trying to get on with her life. Let her take care of her debt in peace. The party has moved on.

******************************************************

Vote for the Healing and Unity of America – Obama

******************************************************

I used to respect HRC, and would have gladly voted for her to be the next President, but I'm glad it never came to that now. I've lost all respect for this woman.
She loaned her campaign millions, and wants the public to pay off her debt to herself?
She ran the campaign so poorly that she's millions in the whole. She spend more than she had/made...like all the other Americans that are having problems now with credit cards, upside down housing loans, etc...
She's begging for the people of this country who are suffering themselves to pay off her debt!!! I just can't get over this.
She's an elite. She's super weathly with huge earning potential. As the first woman to ever have a shot at the presidency, she's a huge money maker. Her husband too is full of earning capability.
A good chuck of this debt is owed to herself! Again, sorry for repeating this, but how the heck to you become debted to yourself??? She bet on herself and loss, she shouldn't expect anyone to pay off the portion she 'loaned' her campaign.

Now she is setting up contests? Holy cow.
This lady is killing any future chance of any political office.

Hundreds of thousands in this country are deep in debt and are told to just suck it up, its not that bad, there is no recession, stop your whining. Then the super wealthy ask for us to pay off their debt? Talk about failure to connect with the common people.

And just where does she think the money will come from? Bill signed NAFTA, Bush signed FREE TRADE, and McCain has a problem with us leaving IRAQ (that's costing Billions-A-Month)...DO THE MATH!

What happened to her over 2.5 Million hardcore PUMA supporters CNN keeps talking about? Why haven't they led the effort in settling her debt?

PUMA people are such HUGE supporters of Hillary, or so they say… They say they're even planning to write her name in at the DNC convention. But they won't give a dime to help her move forward past her debt?

Hyporcrites; every last one of them. Put your money where your mouth is RePUMAgnants, or admit you were really either anti-Obama or Republicans all along, aiming to create disunity among the Democratic party and the American people.

You definitely aren't sincere, genuine Hillary Clinton supporters.

SGHCSMA, that's an acronym you can believe in.

Mike In MN.......I know there are alot of lakes in MN so your polls may be useful there.....polls mean nothing here ....we will see what happens in November........

Don't do it people. Do not help this typical politician. She said for 18 months that Obama wasn't qualified to be president, then tries to get her 18 million followers to vote for him. You have been wronged by the Clintons, Obama and the entire democratic party. Get your revenge by voting for John McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wanna raise money? Take a hint from the Divine Ms. "M".

I'd give her $2,300 if she promised to retire.

Why is it that PUMA has not retired her debt with all the hatred they are spewing against Obama?

Truth is most of the PUMA PAC are republicans trying to fool democrats and hillary supporters.

Vote Obama 08

Sounds like a simple, straight forward, creative approach.

Hey, her supporters claim they're 18 million strong and so dedicated. They should put their money where their mouth is and have all 18 mil supporters 2-3 dollars to pay off her debt, with a bit left to put her over the top.

IF the woman means so much to you, take some of that resentful energy and give a little of yourself.

You'll feel better! Really! You might just rethink that decision to vote McCain.

Peace.

Lisa,
Please put your money where your mouth is..........prove you believe in Hillary, pay off her debt...just go get a bundle from the other PUMAS and HILLRAISERS..and that should help her at least pay the vendors she owes, those are important. As for Mark Penn and what she owes herself...I am sure she can work something out with Penn.

I can't stop laughing..Good luck with that!

Ill make another contribution obama isnt getting any of my money and once he snubs Hillary and doesnt give her vp then not only my vote but my money also goes to help Mc Cain.

Mc Cain08
Hillary 12

JB – I have NO problem with a woman leader. I have a problem with someone wanting to take control of the country's finances when they mismanaged their own so badly! It like the old song says "I can do bad by myself, I don't need no help to starve to to death!"

Isn't the majority of her money owed to Mark Penn?

Oh where oh were are all the hillary suporters that are not helping here. Wonder how may of the puma supporters will give money for a chance to wine and dine with Hillary. They will show there true selfs in this one.

JB I would love a woman as president. Just dont want Clintons in the WH. I am not down with families trying to regain thw WH. There will be a woman that will knock all our socks off I am sure. She does not need to be in the spot light now. But I am sure she will.

This is the most pathetic thing I have ever seen. All she is missing is a tin cup and a hat made out of newspaper. The time is running out on her getting paid back the money before the deadline.

I would really like to know if she is charging the campaign interest for the money she loaned herself.

If so, she is a fraud, a crook and a morally bankrupt individual.

ASK YOUR SO CALLED PUMA PIPO TO PAY YOUR DEBT, SINCE THEY ARE SO LOYAL TO YOU. YOU HAVE TO DENOUNCE ALL OF YOUR BITTER SUPPORTERS TO GET A DIME FROM ME.

I'd pay $10 but to tell her and her loser husband what I think of them. Two of the reasons we are an international joke!

Nice. I'd love a chance to ask her what good she's done anyone in Western New York since her carpetbagging Senatorial ascension.

No wonder the Hillary supporters are having such a hard time warming up to Obama, with all the negative things said here about Hillary by the Obama supporters

Let the Brown-Shirt PUMA's pay for her bad decision making! She knew the race was over yet she kept spending... $25M for a chance to make history is a fair price. Clinton made her bed.

What happened to her over hardcore 2.5 Million PUMA supporters CNN keeps talking about? Why haven't they settled her debt?

PUMA people are such HUGE supporters of Hillary, or so they say... They say they're planning to write her name in at the DNC convention, but they won't give a dime to help her move forward past her debt.

Hyporcrites; every last one of them. Put your money with your mouth is PUMA, or admit you were really either anti-Obama or Republicans all along, aiming to create disunity among the Democratic party and the American people.

You definitely aren't sincere, genuine Hillary Clinton supporters. SGHCSMA, that's an acronym you can believe in.

Turnabout is fair play

Keep your money, I will continue to bash Obama as long as Hillary is not on the ticket.
========================================================

That will not help because the more you try to force her on the ticket the more you spoil her chances of getting it. Obama will never be forced to accept her as veep.

More over obama need somebody with more foreing policy experience than hillary.

That's $1.40 from each of her 18 million voters or $100,000 from each member of PUMA.

All u puma(s) dig deeeeeep in your pockets and give to your candiate.

Also, give to the winner of the primary.

Obama08

Im begining to think Texas Trail Dog and Texas Trail Puppy(same person likely) work for CNN.

He/She/They routinely post nonsense on the ticker while other comments are routinely moderated.

I guess if I want my thoughts posted I'll need to be more outrageous......

And on topic.....This is another example of why Hillary wasnt ready to be president.

And where does she think we're going to get the money? Bill signed NAFTA, Bush signed FREE TRADE, McCain has a problem with us leaving IRAQ (that's costing Billions-A-Month)....DO THE MATH!

PUMA !!!! pay her debt, you are 18 millions you guys claim...
and if she is so great why is she in such a hole ???
it kinda reminds me us Bush and our economy..

Save a Millionaire !

So .. she has now only $100Mio in her bank account ? Sorry, but I know people with real problems and NO money who could use some help.

JB – I agree in some ways. However, the really mean, bitter ones appear to be female (probably older) and I don't have a clue about their attitude. If my wife displayed that venom, I'd be a single man REALLY fast – HA.

Oh man, I was having a good day. Why did you have to mention her CNN? Slow news day?

WITH THE '18 MILLION' WHO CLAIM TO SUPPORT HER......... YOU'D THINK THE DEBT OF $25 MILLION WOULD HAVE BEEN PAID FOR ALREADY! THIS SAYS A LOT MORE ABOUT HER SUPPORTERS THAN ABOUT HILLARY.

And where does she think we're going to get the Money from? Bill signed NAFTA, Bush signed FREE TRADE, McCain has a problem leaving IRAQ, that costing Billions-A-Month.....DO THE MATH!!!

Let's see, I owe $65000 in student loans. I went to school to better myself so that I can become a more productive citizen. She got herself into debt because she just didnt know when to quit. Since its so easy to ask for donations to retire debt here's mine:

Please donate $10.00 to help retire my college debt. I graduated from Howard University in '07 with a Bachelors of Science in Health Science.

And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for Hillary–NOT.

Let her pay her own debt and leave us alone.

Obama 08

All pumas UNITE for this special event. good times...good times....

Ok, all of you who make of the 18million Hillary supporters get off the ticker and each send a check for $1.39. That should take care of it.

Obama 08

Obama thinks that experience means one week of world

grand-standing makes an expert in foreign affairs...and

now he is taking a lesson in the economy from a group

EXPERIENCE IS THE MARATHON WALK NOT THE FAST TALK..!

well u just got your big analysis report from CNN how Obama and McCain are clean from the "money with strings attached" – aka lobbyists. Obama is saying he doesnt take money from the D.C. lobbyists, but he sure does from big business, blunders, special interest groups, and last but not least – from State and Local lobbyists... Hmmm I really dont see what's the difference if one lobbyist works for X company and operates in state on behalf of this company, and another also working for X company is unfortunate to be registered in D.C. It's same effect for me.

If we give her money, will she promise to stop talking and go away??? I had no intention of bailing her out of her debt since she really did bring this on herself. I would, however, gladly contribute if she would just leave us alone...I can't think of anything more dreadful than having to sit over a dinner with Hillary and finding out about "what Hillary wants." Can you imagine what she would have done with the US budget just to get her way?

Shouldn't this be considered a "lottery" and, therefore, "gambling" and, therefore, against FEC regulations?

I will gladly help her pay off her debt; I am in total support of her and her accomplishments to this point, and, I hope she never gives up on what she believes is best for this country. I would absolutely love to have dinner with her, but, my daughter would love it more!

JB,

No good reason? Were you born yesterday, and did you miss the primaries?

Greed... Bad economy, these politicians don't help, just BOTHER.. Shame !!! Why is that always public are looked into help!!!

I understand why Hillary is doing this. What I don't understand is why politicians go wild with expenses and feel the public should pay the bill. This campaign has been fueled by out of control expenditures on everyone's part for far too long. Someone needs to stop this waste.

I gave contributions to you twice but I can no longer help you. I will never vote for obama.......NEVER. I am so ashamed of you and Bill Clinton for having to kiss that fool's butt now. You should not do it! You never will understand that it is not the party but the man/woman that counts. Obama is such a joke running around with his "oh,look at me....I look so presidential......oh, I'm so important. The man is a liar and will bring nothing but trouble to this country. You know it and so do 18 million others. He is simply UNFIT.

PUMA: biting off their noses to spite their faces.

People need to look beyond one single agenda to see the big picture.

It's unfortunate Hillary is in this position, but she should have seen it coming and known to suspend her bid. That said, if I had money to donate I would .. : /

you are all disgusting, repellent excuses for human beings. You certainly reflect your candidate obama. pathetic....

Good luck with that...

She should just eat it. If you're campaign runs out of money, guess what – you're campaign's over. Now, if YOU decide that you want to continue on your own money, that's YOUR problem.

Michelle Obama is flip-flopping now by saying she likes Hillary. This is the same woman who stated she would not vote for Hillary is she was the Presidential nominee.
--------------------------------

You are wrong Susie, Michelle said she didn't know if she COULD vote for Hillary if she won, NOT that she WOULD NOT vote for her. Make sure you get it right before you post.

Money does not make a great President. A Great President will put their money on the line for the will of the people.

Obama will never donate a red cent of his own money for the American people!!

I see.........so she wants my money so I can have a chance to chill with her?? Sounds interesting to say the least but if there's one person that I wanna chill with a Clinton is......Chelsea! Hey, she seems like a nice and respectful person, plus, I would like to meet a girl who has it all good, you know, LOL!! Hey, I'm a good guy with the ladies, LOL!!

But it looks like thats the only Clinton I'll hang around with.........oh what the heck, I'll throw a few parties with Bill, LOL!!

Could I have the dinner without meeting Hillary?

Believe there would be humble pie on the menu.

She should write it off as a "BAD INVESTMENT"!! I thought NOBAMA was going to help her out – seems as though he has lots of money from "WHERE"? Anybody figure out where he's getting all his money yet? Rumor is a lot of it is from "OFFSHORE SOURCES"!!

****************************************************************************
WendyOne-

Are you really that dense?

Hey LISA instead of wasting time bashing Obama you should save that energy and help hillary retire her debt! I mean really, have you even contributed into helping her at all? instead of bashing Obama? He won fair and square and YOU and some other sneed to face fact Hillary is not going to be president or VP.

OBAMA 08/12 YES WE CAN & YES WE WILL!!!!

Just a side note!

During this campaign, lobbyists and trade groups donated $181,000 to McCain, while Obama received $6,000, according to the New York Times.

I'd love to have the dinner, but the company would be questionable. I wouldn't be able to believe a word she says.

CNN why are you not posting my words what did i do?

Pathetic ads!
Remember this is the result of the way she runs her campaign.
She his kidding.

I’ve been an Obama supporter 110% and contributed to Clinton's campaign to help pay down her debt. I didn’t like how Clinton acted during the primaries but at the end of the day democratic need to come together during a time of need. Despite the attacks of PUMA and organizations and Clinton supporters alike, if you want this country back on track you will do what is best for this country and vote for Obama.

I hope that the Clinton supporters that insist on voting for McCain will see the errors in their reasoning before it's to late. Please don’t punish our country because your candidate of choice did get the nomination.

Seems I keep getting kicked out........
I have already donated $500 and I support Obama. Where are the 18,000,000 voters that supported Hillary ?? You are the ones who convinced her to go on....to go further in debt then DISAPPEAR ??? What A bunch of flakes !!! Now your calling yourselves PUMA's to avoid your responsibility to this woman. IT is about Hillary ...not the Dems...not even Obama...it is the woman that you all are so dedicated to !!!! Now you are going to put her out alone against the bill collectors. I have done my part and I do not even like her !!! Shame on you blabber mouths....help this good women.

Let's see here ... Pay $10-2300 and get a $3000 dinner package. Well, I guess that explains the debt right there, doesn't it?
Isn't this the kind of accounting practices that got her into debt in the first place? And this woman wanted to manage our economy?!

So Barack is the toast of the town, and Hillary is just toast. Can't say enough about karma, just ask George Bush.

Already made my contribution does this mean I don't qualify for that raffle... would love to go to dinner maybe meet Bill.......

Looks like something McCain may want to look into.

Conclusion, most of you on this post have a problems with a woman leader and you have your own insercurities about yourselves, that's why you're so mean to Hillary for no good reason. Is treating Hillary badly making you feel more of a man.

Is she still begging? Wow.

Everybody please don't get the Democratic party, confused with the republicans . WE HAVE NO 'SONGBIRDS' HERE! Everyone will find out who Obama's VP is at the right time.

Clinton donors hesitant to show love for Obama .......Puma where are you ...........when you love someone as you claim you help them out ....
Put your money where your big mouth is .........I can't hear you !!!!
I make a Donation to Hillary every month.......Hatred does not change to MONEY ....Enough Already

Not happening! I wouldn't give her a penny, nor would I like to ruin my meal listening to her Bosnia trip or whatever other lies she would tell. Also, she's a millionaire. She makes more money in a year than most American make in a lifetime. But I'm supposed to bail her out of debt? Don't hold your breathe.
Why not have all of your faithful clownish PUMA idoit supporters pay your debt off? Oh I get it, your supporters are just like you; all talk and no action. . . .GET REAL!

If each one of her so called 18M+ PUMA supporters donated $5 – $10 she would easily be out of debt. I saw on the news where they had a happy hour in Washington and people traveled from miles and miles in order to sit around and drink and bash Obama and get a little TV time. I'm sure Hilary would have appreciated them donating the money from that happy hour instead PUMA made the choice to travel to a happy hour and spew their woes over her not being the Democractic nominee all over TV. I like Hilary but because of her crazy supporters she won't see a dime from me.

Hillary is a rich beggar she and her husband have over 100 Million in the bank and very expensive houses, but she still want money from the poor Americans who are struggling to have food on the table for their families and those unemployeed, I tell you this woman would take from the homeless if you let her.

Sorry Hill, my money is under the bus, where you threw me and other African Americans. What a mistake if you'd been loyal, you'd have our money and our support.

Obama 08

What happened to her 18m supporters she kept bragging about?

You'll get a donation from me Hillary once again! I'd love to sit down and have dinner with you. I believe in you, but I do not believe in NObama. I'd wish they'd stopped wasting paper and killing trees by sending me mail to send a donation to the Democratic Party and Nobama. Screw that.... PUMA. Don't drink the Koolaid! NOBAMA!

Obama is getting some traction in the polls. Now here come CNN with some Hillary's BS. This happens everytime Obama gets on a roll.
Next come CNN reporting that Hiilary's supporters not supporting Obama because of the way he's treating her. Drop in polls. Same cycle over and over again. Please CNN let Hillary go. Stop trying to handicap the man. This is Obama's show now.

Here come all the haters!!!

I guess I was wrong about 'her royal highness'.. It was never about power, it was just about the money. She and Bubba have to get their wealth back up to that 109 million mark.

Pround Dem, I was just thinking the same thing. I just might fork over a 10 spot so I can sit across from her and ask her why she insisted on dividing the democratic party like she did. This is such an important election. She should be ashamed of herself for being so selfish.

I guess Lisa and her ilk won't be happy until John McCain is President and his Supreme Court appointees have overruled Roe v. Wade . . . .

Maybe hillary should get it straight with PUMA, because they still want to have her on the ballot at the convention, and scheme to have more delegates than Obama. So she can win the nomination. I think people will try to help her once she gives up the delegates. Until then hillary, suffer baby, suffer!

Blame it on the media. She wasted her money by hiring high paid Washington ppl. Obama was smart and ran an efficient campaign. Sorry Hillary... we loved Bill but now you are on your own.

How the mighty has fallen!

Hillary can't be trusted. So anybody who donates $10. dollars can kiss that chance good-bye. She wants your money and that’s it. She does not want to spend one second with a $10. donor. However, if you donate more, you might get a chance.

Her debt should not be "retired" or paid by the average taxpayer because:
-She had an opportunity to drop out of the race when it was MATHEMATICALLY impossible
-She boasted that she was "just getting started after PA, and that she was having fun"
-She threw her base under the bus, which would have made a difference in her bid to become president.
-Her team was vicious and taught the GOP how to run against Barack by going "racial".

Got to run, I'm sending a check to Obama.

I have been enjoying not have to look at Hillary every time I turn the TV on.

Remember McCain is using talking points provided by Hillary Clinton!!

Why should Democrats pay for all of that????????

Hillary ran the debt up through bad management and poor judgement.
She was spending money like a drunken sailor well after it was obvious she wasn't going to win. I have no sympathy for her. I do not throw good money after bad. If she were trying to get a loan from a bank with her spending and finance record, they'd show her the door.
Let the PUMAs get her out of debt. They've pledged their loyalty to her, now let's see what their loyalty is actually worth. Talk is cheap. Hillary isn't. Get out your checkbooks all you disgruntled Hillary supporters. Show that you can do something besides throw tantrums.

There is a video clips of a NY Times reporter that wrote a negative piece about McCain. In the video clip, after the piece was published, she was with the McCain Campaign in front of the German Shop (ha ha) for a press conference. When she raised her hand and asked a question McCain recognized her at said "does anyone else have a question". Also, there was the NBC or ABC (not sure which) interview where the editors substituted a McCain gaff for his answer to his previous question. It would appear that news organizations are being censored by McCain. If McCain receives negative press he then refuses questions and will not invite or do interviews with those organizations. As a result NO PRESS WANTS TO PRINT OR REPORT ON ANY NEGATIVE INFORMATION FROM THE McCAIN CAMPAIGN. This week there was also a study done by Politico that revealed that although Obama received more press over 40% of it was negative compared to McCain's negative press of less than 25%. The end result is that media is not fact checking statements made by McCain as they are the Obama campaign; the media are selectively choosing what information to release; and McCain is censoring by denying access to his campaign the content of the truth. I would encourage all Obama, Ron Paul and other supporters to email all news organizations to voice their opposition to McCain censorship.

I'm not PUMA... I still don't really understand what that means... But I'm not voting for Obama, and will be writing in Clinton.

I think you will find that her debt is going down they just will not say anything about it until its almost gone so people will keep paying it...

Anyone who said they would not like to meet Hillary Clinton is sad, I would want to sit down with any of the people who ran or are running for president it would be a great experience.

Obama supporters should not pay a penny to her and Hillary supporters should not vote for Obama. It's a free country, people should do what they like.

Let me get this straight....the winner gets a meal with Hillary? Good Lord, what does the loser get?

She should write it off as a "BAD INVESTMENT"!! I thought NOBAMA was going to help her out – seems as though he has lots of money from "WHERE"? Anybody figure out where he's getting all his money yet? Rumor is a lot of it is from "OFFSHORE SOURCES"!!

Turnabout is Fair Play:

"You tell your "supporters" to stop slamming Obama every chance they get including those "PUMA" idiots and I will actually donate $1,200 to your debt reduction Hillary"

...Umm... are you reading the blogs? The haters on here caused the PUMA movement.

Looks like Obama should be talking to Hillary about making it a retirement dinner with the both of them. The two most recent polls show McCain is now in the lead. Rasmussen Tracking shows Obama up by just +1 and USA Today/Gallup show McCain up by +4. Don't see any bump for Obama's overseas vacation tour. Even with the press love affair with Obama, McCain is overtaking him. Even with a huge advantge in campaign contributions, Obama is losing. Go McCain!!!!

may wanna get your hateful femist to help you......I like Hillary ( not that much during the campaign because she lied alot) but these PUMAS will ensure that another woman will not be a candidate for 50 years ......thanks PUMAS you are really blowin it hard ........lol

There was a time when I would have paid to tap that if she wasn't married to Bill but now...

To all the PUMA haters – her big debt payoff drives were in JULY. The numbers just released were from JUNE. The latest number don't reflect ANY of PUMA money. Her debt has been reduced greatly, these last fundraisers are to pay it off completely.

She should worry about her states debt annonced today, It's her job to fix that before worring about a mess she made for herself!

no thanks.i'd rather go to mickey d's,alone.

I am an Obama supporter, but I will gladly give her a few bucks if it means helping solidify the party. It is time we come together and really get things done.

18 million....? $1 from each supporter would go a long way. Where are they?

I would love to have dinner with her and beg her to not be Obamas running mate. To encourage her to run as an independent...

aawwww. That's kind of sad!

Hey PUMA...it looks like she needs you more to help her retire her debt instead of you bashing Obama.....where are you when she REALLY needs you?

How many dinners would it take to pay off the national debt? Look for this idea in McCain's platform next week.

Love democratic party unity! The Clinton's will still be part of NoBama's un-doing. Go McCain/Go Navy/Marine Corp!

I would love to sit with Hillary at dinner. It would be a good chance to talk to her about her supporters and how she can do a better job getting rid of the Puma Protesters.

Turnabout is fair play

Keep your money, I will continue to bash Obama as long as Hillary is not on the ticket.

Her predicament is a great illustration of how the democrats spend money. They spend us into debt and when that happens they just raise taxes to pay for their bloated social programs. Shes $25,000,000 in the hole and begging for money while Ron Paul has a $5,000,000 surplus and is holding his own convention.

Michelle Obama is flip-flopping now by saying she likes Hillary. This is the same woman who stated she would not vote for Hillary is she was the Presidential nominee.

I'd feel better if she posted the names of the vendors that she owes money to along with their respective balances. That way, the poor vendors (especially the small businesses) would finally be compensated.

Let's support Senator Clinton. We want her helping to keep the Republicans in line in the Senate.

We want lower taxes! – Vote for President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Clinton.

We want better health insurance choices. Vote for President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Clinton.

We want smarter international policy. Vote for President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Clinton.

I'm an avid Obama supporter, but I'll send $5.00. I want to send most to Obama. He needs to beat McCain (who sold out to big oil last week).

If I win, I'll sell the round trip, etc., to whomever is truly a NICE Hillary supporter. I'll let you know if I win, and we can discuss details.

Good Luck to all the Obama supporters that thinks he's going to win without Hillary on the ticket.

Hopefully the 18 million who voted for her will donate money to help retire her debt. They should do that much for her.

Senator Clinton is SAD...and PUMA'S want her to be BARACK'S VP.
BARACK THE VOTE AND LEARN HOW TO RUN A CAMPAIGN !!!

Not interested. To be honest she couldn't pay me to sit with her.

Obama all the way July 29th, 2008 12:18 pm ET

She shouldn't get a penny of what she put in herself. Stupid move on her part.

I thought she started out $25 mil in debt. Months later, she is still in the hole for that much???

Sounds like nobody is paying up????
---------------------------------

Nah, her PUMA retards and those hateful feminists are too busy in these blogs spewing hateful garbage against Obama to pay her debt like good little bottomfeeders should.

I have contributed much to Hillary Clinton and would have loved to see her as president, however, since she has endorsed Obama she is on her own.

if hillary clinton had gotten out of the race when she lost she would not be in so much debt. she knew what she was doing and stayed in the race just to hurt obama. she said nasty things about him that is now being used by McCain against him. shame on her. shame on all the losers that are still out there thinking hillary will rise from the ashes and regain her right to the throne. let her get herself out of debt, my money goes toward obama that made it without not only any help from her but made it in spite of her. let her PUMA girls pay for her bad judgement and misuse of funds!

You tell your "supporters" to stop slamming Obama every chance they get including those "PUMA" idiots and I will actually donate $1,200 to your debt reduction Hillary. Every time I get over my anger at the constant Anti-Obama hate I hear on these blogs, some idiot starts up about Obama being "arrogant" or an "empty suit" or some other stupid @55 remark and I get mad all over again. I know a lot of Repugnican trolls come on here pretending to be Hillary supporters to do just that, but some of those posting here in hate really are her supporters. I will help you but you better help Obama or it will be the ONLY donation of that size you will get from me.

ok you puma/pac babes, here's your chance to put your money where your bitter mouths have been. You guys love her so much pay off her debt that she accumulated in her power hungry grab for the wh. She mismanaged her campaign and it's finances and yet you guys wanted her to run your country. Incredible! She won't get a dime from me, she can pay off her own debt with her and bills 109 million.

hey PUMA...quick question, as an advent Obama supporter who has contributed to retire Mrs. Clinton's debt, how come it keeps getting bigger? Obama keeps getting more and more donations from his supporters, where are those Clinton supporters? if you really "believe" in Clinton, that she would have made a great President why are you not helping her? it seems to me that IF you spent more time donating to your candidate instead of spewing your hate on this and other blogs about Obama, may be then Mrs. Clinton would have had a snowballs chance in hell being VP. this is your fault, not Obama's

Too bad she can't rent out the Lincoln Bedroom to donors like they did when Bill was Prez.

I'll donate some money to her to help retire her debt but I don't really want to have dinner with her.

I was't for Sen. Clinton in Primary but the possibility of having a tete-a-tete with her is too tempting to ingnore guess i better go get my wallet.....
No PUMA Pussies!!!!

Get this woman out of the new! The real story is Obama and I do not like Hillary taking the spotlight away from him. He is the new leader, and we do not need the Hillary loyalysts!!!

I would gladly pay 10 dollars for the chance to sit across from Hillary Rodham Clinton and tell her what I think of her and her husband.

wow, ha ha.....good luck with that!

She shouldn't get a penny of what she put in herself. Stupid move on her part.

I thought she started out $25 mil in debt. Months later, she is still in the hole for that much???

Sounds like nobody is paying up????

Have Billy boy write a check and get it over with already!! Or sell one of your summer homes.

And sooooo many insist that Senator Clinton knows how to budget.

No thank you, I can mess up my own finances without your help.

hahaha

GREAT IDEA.... COUNT ME IN..

I can sum this up with one word:

P.A.T.H.E.T.I.C.

Pay your own debt lady!
