Tired of the Hate–

Tired of being so spiteful? Hillary will need Obama supporters' votes to win any presidency in the future and I doubt she'll get many from independents or Republicans. Help Obama today and we'll help Hillary tomorrow.

Politician's talk and people can buy in millions of dollar, What a job Bill!

President Clinton donates alot of his money for his foundation to help millions of people all over the world and in America. The last story I read Obama only donated to his church even after he made money off of his books. Did Obama donate to Katrina victims. No but President Clinton did and so did I on my little salary.

Remind me, please. Who was complaining about "just words" "just speeches?" Nice when it generates big coins, though.

I love Bill for his work for Clinton Global Initiative and he deserves it!! Go Bill and Hillary!!

$10 million in speech revenue. . .but don't worry! Like most Democrat politicians, they're "just like us!" I would love to know why the Democratic Party insists on portraying Republicans as the wealthy, out-of-touch political group when clearly both sides have them.

I will believe in the Democrat ideal of "the everyday person" when a man/woman who makes $60,000 a year successfully runs for office.

Debra 3:36
Oreo…What's up with you? You sure are ignorant
i hope you are not the same Debra from 3:33. It is hard to believe there are two people as hateful as you!
Obama 08
Our American President for the next 8 years
Cry your eyes out Debra and ask God to forgive you.

So why doesn't he just give some of that to Hillary so she can pay whoever she needs to pay to get this debt thing out of the way? I'm confused.

Looks like he needs to get crackin then if he plans on helping Hillary!!!

To Jerry in Boston re:
–"Since 2000, The Clinton's have donated twice as much, as a
proportion of their income, as the Obama's."

Don't go polishing up the Clinton's halos TOO very vigourously, Jer, the Clintons have more moral wrongs in their closet to make good for…all the money in the world won't buy Bill out of the bad karma his immoral, AMORAL behaviors created. No wonder he has to work so hard for charity…as if he is doing the world a favor. We are responsible, as human beings on this planet, for other human beings and should all be engaged in charitable work. Because Bill has the money to buy off his wrongs in this life, does NOT put him in line for canonization for sainthood.

It's good that bill is able to make a lot of money now after serving this country as president. they were good years but they were not perfect. he made a lot of personal mistakes that the country had to pay for and it made him spend his time defending himself and not governing the country. this is past let's look forward to a new and better time with obama.

lol
Somethings & some people just won't change !
After his escapades suporters paid millions in legal fees for him & now the entitled duo are scratching any & every where for others to pay for her shoddy campaign . & they just keep raking in the dough ! There is still something very wrong with this picture !

Belle you stand on a soap box for crooks while calling others the same. Clearly your agenda is something else as you seem to have an affinity for crooks .

And Hillary has the NERVE to be whining about and begging others to retire her campaign debt…PLEASE! Ask your husband to cut you a check for some of that…the flagrant, unmitigated nerve of these people is approaching comical status.
OBAMA '08 & '12

WOW!!!!!! A POTUS that is a superstar!!!!!

OBAMA, go on with your bad self!!!!

While Mccain's even having a hard time talking,
Obama's going on, and just keeps on rocking,
While Hillary's accounts are all but tanking,
Good Ol' Bill's gone somewhere wanking.

"But his incongruent works vs. actions had me switch to Clinton."

Belle this is just plain ignorant. You are going from Obama to someone who blatantly lied, distorted, extorted, pandered, racialized, genderized, and completely manipulated people in her quest to unseat Obama as the primary candidate.

Come on, you're not THAT stupid are you?

Ha, ha, ha.

Comparing Bill Clinton's speaking engagements to Barack Obama's rock concerts!!!!!

Barack Obama's audiences are starry eyed groupies gathered together to see the new Messiah. The man could speak Lithuanian and get applause. Once he gets elected and forgets all about those people his appeal will fail. Bill Clinton speaks to crowds of people interested in what he has to say, not just some flamboyant words.
We'll see, if elected, what Barack Obama is able to make on speeches after he is drummed out of office.

Nice shirt Rico Tubbs.

UNREAL, AND THEY WANT US TO PAY HER DEBT…

THIS CLINTONS HAVE NO SHAME NO SHAME
ALWAYS MAKING SURE THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE POOR,

THEY ARE A JOKE

LET HER AND HIM PAY THEY ARE MILLIONAIRES IF NOT BILLIONAIRES..
THEY CAN WRITE BOOKS ANDWRITE SPEECHES, AND THEN PAY THEIR STUPIDITIES..

If he's so supportive of Hillary, why isn't he helping her retire some of that debt she got herself into? Why is she asking the rest of the country to do it?

Bill Clinton is a smart person and the American people LOVE HIM, enjoy listening to him, and that's why he get paid good money to talk. Wouldn't you do the same??

Belle is correct, I am another Demo that will NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA, and will wait again for Hillary in 2012. Obama lacks experience, he is just beginning to know politics, to know the american people and he will NEVER connect with people of my generation (55-65).

Good for you Bill, Go Hillary!

Why are the Blacks in America so angry, and they seem to feel they are the ONLY minority…Grow up, your misplaced anger should be aimed elsewhere. Quit blaming the world for your woes!!!!! That is why myself, and many more that I know expatriated out of the US, too much hatred too much reverse racism brought on by the black population there…..They will never allow themselves as a people to progress…JMHO….

Rob

so my question to bill is,,,, why dont you just donate all that money to your wifes debt,,, and if you have to ,, make more speeches(if you think you are sooo specail) and pay it off that way??? bill cliton always has thought he was and is a "pretty boy",, but no in my books,, no way

Belle who are you trying to kid, Obama never had your vote you were always in the barrel for Hillary.

Debra, you are one of those uneducated bitter people.
Sweetie, this is how you spell "wives".

Obama/Biden 2008-2016

I would have voted for Clinton if there was anyway possible to have done so back when he was ending his second term. I will vote for Hilary Clinton if she's given the opportunity in 2012. Obama is the choice of many people, he's got alot to prove if elected. Don't count out McCain folks, it's a horse race right now. And why is anyone upset by Richardson (Judas) giving fundraiser's for Hilary. It's not the poor folks he's inviting, obviously there is money out there, but not in anyone's pockets that I know of.

Every politician flip flops you morons. Hillary did, McCain and Obama has. So that is an invalid reason to vote or not vote for someone. With that being said….. GO OBAMA!!!!!

Democrats 08!!!!

The next time a civic organization calls for a donation, I will ask how much the speakers are paid for any activity. I think it is appalling that these celebraties are paid so much while most of them act like they are helping and doing charitable work. The average person will be asked for $20.00 or anything he can give. How many people paid for Bill's speech. By the way, doesn't the Boys and Girls club get tax money?

Shouldn't the real story here be that shirt and tie combination. Did he decide to dress up as Mardi Gras for Halloween?

If anyone gives a dime to pay off Hillary's debt, they are total jerks. The Clintons have more money than God and ought to pay off their own debts. Furthermore, she ran an amaturish campaign and should have conceded earlier which would have reduced her debt.

Don't give!!! Save your money for Obama.

INFORMED VOTER?

What a crock!! Try getting informed. Until the conventions are over we are NOT in the General Election. Barack Obama is presently the "presumed" party candidate. Anything, repeat anything, can happen between now and the end of the convention.

ABOUT OBAMA:

1. Everybody who is NOT a snob senses that something is not exactly O.K. with that so called "New Politician".
I see him like my doughier: tells me exactly what I would like to hear.

I think that Guy and his gang had studied the social behaviour in USA long before had started the elections and they simply manipulate us very effectively!
Simply: DO NOT TRUST HIM!!!!

2. No offence, but am I correct that OBAMA is very much supported and loved by HOMOSEXUALS?

/ Not because I do not respect them as human beings/

3. His color is NOT my concern but his attitude : HE IS ARROGANT!
e.g. Is it appropriate a future President to chew a gum walking as a peacock at front of the cameras?

4. If he is "sooo gifted" and almost genius, what he had done for 45 years before the beginning of that election?

I hate to be the one to break the news to everyone, BUT Obama is half white. It is funny how no one seems to make a note of this. SO for all who think he represents a certain race it is time to realize that is what the media and also his party are hoping you buy into. And if you all could make millions giving speeches then good for you go do it. I know if I could make money doing that I would. 54 speeches beats a year of work!!

That's how you repay wifey's debt!

Good he can pay off his wifes debt or pay for her next election…

Steve,

You and all the Obama thugs DON'T GET IT, do you?

We are not paying Hillary's debt down because we are supporting McCain now to do everything so Obama loses. Our money, time and energy is for the PUMA party in which Hillary does not support.

Duh

BILL, WOULD YOU PLEASE GIVE HILLARY $22 MILLION BUCKS TO PAY OFF HER FREAKING CAMPAIGN DEBT! THANK YOU!

Good for the president I hope next year he earns 20Mil

No problem with this. The man paid his service to America, now he's smart and he's cashing in big time.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.

So…NoMcSame, the presidential race for you is a racial vendetta against white people and make us hypocrites??? I grew up in Compton, CA just outside of Watts. My neighborhood was IN the Watts riots of the 60's. My parents moved to Alabama in 1969. YOU sound just like the white BIGOTS I heard spouting there, it just changed color. Why don't you wake up and see that your life in America is better than most of the worlds population. No one is keeping us back, but ourselves. To gain respect, we need to be respectable. To be honorable we need to have honor. To gain acceptance we need to be acceptable. There are too many successful men and women of color now to keep playing the victim or race card and there are more and more every day. This is demeaning, bigoted, and offensive.

Dear Mr. President,

You are one of the best presidents our country ever had. These haters do not care about the all the money you helped raised for AIDS research and the Sunami victims in Southeast Asia. They also do not care about the early retirement program you implemented to help our seniors. Thank you for all you have done for our country and for the world. All the haters will not remember but at least one American will.

does any foreign country want to pay to have both of them live there full time – then they can give speeches all the time and not have to pay to travel. everyone benefits – they get the money and we get rid of them once and for al!!!!!!!

Will you people get a life! What Bill gets for a speech is nothing like what other speakers get paid….Do you know how much Jon Stewart get for 1/2 hour, 2 times the amount for Bill's speech!

Hillary loaned her campaign $13.2M that is an investment for her but she cannot loan her campaign Bill's money. Check the contribution rules & regs!!!

No McSame:

You are the worst racist and whine I've seen yet. When I think of four years of that crap, I can't wait to vote Mr. Obama OUT.

Obama is half white, and his father's typical early exit is the best thing that ever happened to him. He got raised by responsible adults while his hippy mother went out and found another guy just like the first one.

Obama never gave up anything – he has no clue about the "Black Experience." You think he's like you? Take another look. He wouldn't cross the street to spend a few minutes with you.

Obama does the "black thing" to get suckers like you to vote for him. He will do anything, say anything to get elected. If you want him to be black, he's black. If you want him to be white, he talks white. Whatever – it makes no difference but a vote.

Try finishing high school, only having babies if you're married, sticking with one woman, preferably a wife. Stop killing each other and making our cities big holding tanks for felons. And do what responsible adults do to avoid HIVAids – your record is disgraceful.

Proud of it? I guess you are, McSame. Whatever. Having to listen to your poor-me crap is reason enough to vote NO to Obama.

Belle….get a hold of yourself girl…..dang, you make my mother-in-law sound good!

It's great to see the Clintons fall!!!!
From leaders to beggars!!!!

I'd willing give them $1 to help pay off their $20 Million Campaign Debt, if they agree to disappear for good!!!!!!

I'm sure 20 other Million Americans would do the same

PRESIDENT CLINTON, AND WE MADE HIM PRESIDENT,

SO HE CAN COMMAND THOSE SPEAKING FEES, SHOULD

COME OUT AND SPECIFICALLY & CLEARLY TELL THE

AMERICAN PUBLIC HOW THE MCBUSH ECONOMIC

POLICIES WOULD FURTHER AFFECT OUR ECONOMY, A

SUBJECT THE AMERICAN VOTERS WOULD TRUST HIM WITH.

Even Bill's 10 Million in book sales, can't pay off Hillary's 20 Million DEBT!!!!!

No McSame –

You aren't a proud black person are you? I couldn't tell that you hold hate and bitterness and vengeance inside at all… nope, not at all.

GROW UP and realize that YOU (black,white,hispanic,asian) are responsible for success – not the white man, not the government, not the rich. I am 45 and NEVER once uttered a racist slur or comment. I respect my fellow human beings – YEP, even after being mugged by three black guys and left for dead (a white guy saved me). And even afer my brothers and I were cornered by a gang of black kids who took our soda's and threw them at us and taunted us (thank God my older brother grabbed a stick to scare them off)…

This is no longer a world where the Black man/woman is only mistreated. GROW UP and get over it.

Hillary was the better choice period. Obama lacks character as I would never vote for anyone attending a loud and ugly church.

Why so many Clinton haters? Are you better off under W than Bill? It's pretty well-established that the Clintons have given much to charity and paid much in taxes. If the shoe was on the other foot, HRC would help BHO retire his campaign debt. Early on, she helped retire campaign debt for other candidates. It's EXACTLY this misguided hate from irrational O-lovers that make HRC supporters look elsewhere.

Yes, because he is a SMART and INFORMED human being. Just think what Hillary along with Bill could have done for our country… two for one and they both are smarter than all the contendors.

I love the Clintons and I didn't even vote for him in the 90's – I was a sour independent for PEROT at the time.

McCain '08 for Clinton (the real deal) '12

Gee CNN, did you even bother to mention that despite the $10 million he earned, Clinton is still drawing a pension and security detail from taxpayers funds. I guess that would be asking you to do some journalism.

I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT HE HASN'T

COME OUT ATTACKING MCBUSH.

HE SHOULD COME OUT & DISCUSS THE ECONOMY

AND HOW MCSENILE POLICIES WOULD AFFECT IT.

SLAVERYEND143YEARAAGO
Slavery may have Ended , but Bigotry and Ignorance will always live inside people like you. I guess for everyone that has a problem with the country, they should just leave right?
It's IGNORAMUSES like you that put people like BUSH and that Alaskan what's his face in leadership positions and let our country slip.
If you look at where our cities rank now in the world, everyone one is either catching up fast or they are ahead of us, if this pattern continues, maybe people will start looking to start a better life somewhere else.

How did an article about Clinton's speeches turn into a debate about race and hardships?

Get a life people.

I am very sad about some of these comments, especially Mo Mc Same's ridiculous Negro rant. Anyone who knows Bill Clinton, and Hillary, for that matter, know that these two people are the furtherest thing from being racist. You guys have let the media blind you and create issue's when none should exist. Clinton, just like Obama, is a politician. We can take many comments from Michelle Obama, and call her a racist also, but we all know she is not. I think many people really need to look back and see what Bill Clinton did for all American's during his term, and what he continues to do for the human race today. This man should be applauded, not treated like tabloid fodder. So all you people still calling the Clinton's racist, wake up and do you homework. Its old, its wrong and it onlymakes you look petty.

I can see the mean spirited Obama supporters continue to be critical of the Clintons. I think you believe you got the election wrapped up without the rest of us. President Clinton donates tons of his money to his foundation that is saving lives all over the world. He donated to Katrina victims. Who did Obama donate to – not Katrina victims only to his church even after he earned ton of money on his books. So give me a break?

HE DOESN'T SEEM TO COME OUT & ATTACK THE

REPUBLICANS. COME OUT & DEAL WITH THE

"STRAIGHT SHOOTER" THAT HASN'T TOLD THE TRUTH ONCE.

Thank you, Jerry. Finally, someone else with a brain today.

And Bill's in Africa doing his foundation work. Much more important than campaigning for BO.

First, NoMcSame: you need help. I suggest long-term therapy, maybe medication, maybe group therapy. The way African-Americans were treated in the past in this country is horrible, and wrong. Some small part of America will always be racist, and homophobic, and anti-semitic, etc.,etc.,etc. Butthe world your mind is living in is in the past, and you need to let go of that for your own mental health.

Second, I am a Hillary Clinton supporter. I voted for her. I contributed to her campaign. I will be very upset if she is not chosen as Obama's VP candidate, because I don't see how Obama can talk about unity while he excludes 1/2 of the democratic primary voter's choice from the ticket. However, it is hard for me to see that Bill Clinton made $10 million last year just giving speeches, and try to understand why I am supposed to send in money to retire the campaign debt. Is he not allowed to give a large sum to just pay it off? These two are worth $109 million dollars, and most of us are scraping togetherwhat we can weeek to week for our children's education, our retirement, etc. Hillary, I love you. I really want you to be VP. But I don't think it makes sense for me to help retire your campaign debt. You and Bill do it.

Bill Clinton is still the greatest president we ever had. They tried
to impeach him for getting a bl…w job……….and Bush screwed this
country big time!! I'll take Bill over anyone that's running now. I say
GOOD for Bill, he gives a great speech…more power to him !!!!!

some of you are ignorant… our laws prohibit anyone from donating more than $2300 in a campaign… so even if he has the money he can't just pay it… she is already loosing all of the money she lend to the campaign which is over 60%, the rest she has to try to pay it via donations of $2300 or less…

otherwise I'm sure she would have writen the check for the rest…

I don't why there is problem with paying off the Clinton WHEN the Clintons are going to raise $100,000,000 dollars for the Obama campaign, which is 10 TIMES the amount they are asking for. Hillary has already raised at least $5,000,000 for his campaign. They are NOT asking them to pay off the debt when they will do nothing in return. The idea is that the people who have maxed out to Obama can pay off Hillary's debt, and the people maxed out to Hillary can contribute to Obama's campaign. What IS the problem?!! Ordinary people can often get their at least educational debts forgiven through working in disadvantaged areas.

I can't believe the media is still attacking Bill Clinton. Has anyone hear the saying, " He who is without sin cast the first stone" guess not! If their was ever a man who has paid for his sins it is Bill Clinton. I think most people are jealous of the Bill and Hillary. They are super smart. They are forgiving. They raised a seemly will rounded daughter. I wish the Clinton family only the best. I think it would be nice for the media to do the same.

And why is Hillary asking us to help retire her debt when she stayed in the race too long and continued to go in debt. Rather than holding debt retirement parties, she should just have Bill give more speeches to pay off the debt.

Barack is ALREADY making tons of money. His book is the Number ONE Bestsellar.

As far as Clinton's Debt goes: She asked for help to pay off her vendors, NOT to pay off the money she personally loaned her campaign. It is your PERSONAL choice to help or not. I CHOSE to help.

So please get off of the Hillary Clinton slamming. I will vote for Clinton if she runs in 2012.

I will NOT vote Obama. Why? His VOTING record (or lack thereof), his relationship to Tony Rezko. His LACK of Action in IL as a State Senator when the complaints were filed about the 11 Rezko buildings in his district. HIS FLOPPING on issues that he ran on in the Primary, and his stretching of truth during the Primary. End Result: Obama lost my vote. It was his to keep or lose at the beginning of the Primary. But his incongruent works vs. actions had me switch to Clinton.

To all the idiots who are suggesting that the Clinton's use this money to pay down Hillary's campaign debt – Bill Clinton makes these appearances in order to raise money for The Clinton Foundation, a charitable organisation that helps millions of poor people worldwide.

You want to steal from a charity to pay a political campaign debt?

Nice.

Since 2000, The Clinton's have donated twice as much, as a proportion of their income, as the Obama's.

JOSHUA,

HILLARY WILL NOT BE ON THE TICKET. STOP BEING A BRAG AND WAKE UP, OBAMA WILL CHOOSE HIS OWN VP, YOU DONT MAKE THE CHOICE.

BETWEEN BILL AND THE COST OF THE IRAQ WAR, NOW I SEE WHY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAS NOT MONEY, BILL AND THE COST OF THE IRAQ WAR IS TAKING IT ALL.

NoMcSame – America has race issues but this is not an argument for everything you do not like.

This is the main problem I have with Obama's approach – it is almost always includes a reference to black vs. white. Even on his Europe tour he started at least one speech that way. Will he go to China and discuss Tibet and human rights in terms of black vs. white? That doen't even make sense.

I have news for you – it is a big world with a LOT of different people who do not identify with either black or white.

Obviously, Clinton isn't paid for "speeches" — he's paid for access and favors. CNN could live up to its journalistic ambitions by actually doing some reporting on this issue, rather than printing a glorified press release.Just a tought!

Amen Debra!

mccain is not ready to lead

Will you marry me Debra? LOL Well said.

Who cares?

If anything, HE should be paying companies to allow him to speak.

You'd think he could afford to pay off his wife's big debt….instead of bleeding the "little people"……..or wasn't that part of their deal????

This is disgusting! I've always liked Clinton, thought he did a pretty good job as president except for the sex thing. But, how can he live with himself now? He is out making this kind of money making speeches and his wife is begging. Way to go Bill, always have a backup plan. And who would pay Bill Clinton $150,000 to speak? They should have been around when he was president and paid him to shut up.

The Boys and Girls Club paid $150,000 to hear Bill Clinton? No wonder they are always begging for money, they are shut off of my charity list. And Clinton couldn't have donated one speech to a non-profit? Maybe he can get Hillary to go through the United Way for money to pay off her campaign debt.

Hionestly, let them all rot.

oh, and if you think this country is racist….MOVE! For Christs sake no one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to lilve here.

So I guess everyone doesn't hate Bill Clinton after all. After a little more of Obama, I bet Bill could raise his prices even more.

He's done plenty for free, too. Of course, that doesn't make such good reading.

I love the Clintons! They make Obama and Michelle look like two used car salesmen. Or do I mean aluminum siding? Or how about brushes or remodeling or adding a sun room? You name it, and Barack can sell it.

The DNC blew it when they picked BO over Hillary. God help America.

Don't knock it! There are plenty of people who pay Paris Hilton, Kevin Federline & other celebrities oodles of money to attend their parties. What's the difference? Getting $150,000 per speech sounds resonable for a former president.

Chill on the Clinton hate!

Hillary's debt is taken care of – END OF STORY!

I have a feeling, the Clintons will be supporting Obama big time. It just makes a fantastic self-less ending to a book chronicling the campaign. lol

NoMcSame…..you're an idiot, slavery has been over for 143 years. Yes racism is alive but a very small fraction of the citizens in this country are racist……quit your BS "poor me the black man" crap and grow up. Your comments are the heart of racism you ignorant moron.

Clinton charged the Boys and Girls Club $150,000 for a speech!!??

You just can't get much lower than a Clinton..

NICE GOING, BILL. YOU'RE THE REAL STUFF…. NOT FLUFF LIKE BO! AND SINCE BO NEVER SHOULD HAVE RUN IN THE FIRST PLACE FOR PREZ AND WAS THE CAUSE FOR THE LONG PRIMARY RACE, HE SHOULD PAY FOR HILLARY'S DEBTS.

PUMA FOR HILLARY….VIVA HILLARY

This is OBAMA's warning sign. No help from Clintons.

That should pay off Hillary's campaign debt, although Obama's going to take more than half of that through new taxes.

NoMcSame, you are what keeps this a racist country… You wont let it go. The Black community is just as much to blame as the white community, get over it and yourself!

By the way, nice coin if you can get it. And it looks like former President Clinton got plenty of it.
Now, if he could get a little bit better wardrobe. The outfit he's wearing in the pix above is, well, wearing on me.

William J Clinton is the best former President we had. The way Obama and the DNC ditched the CLINTONS is unamerican.Bill Clinton has helped so many people here in the USA in the 90's and is helping people in Africa today and helped get Harlem NY back to a great place. I contributed to Hillary's campaign and I would love to hear the former President speak(yes I would pay). Bill Clinton's speeches come from the heart,he is the true American story.growing up without a DAD, going to public schools ,getting into great colleges because of his brain,and married one of the best role models any american can look up too.Remember Democrats when all of us LOVED BILL…what has happened to my party???? We elected him for 2 terms..stop ditching him now!!!!!

…civic organizations, such as the Boys and Girls Club of Los Angeles (delivered on March 6 for $150,000)…

He charged $150,000 to the Boys and Girls Club? Seems kind of greedy. How many kids could that money have helped?

ps. Typo in 3rd paragraph: "He did not delivery any paid speeches…" Gotta love those editors

No MCsame – I cried reading your e-mail. The american people must open their hearts fill it with love love love and understanding and do the RIGHT THING. pEACE AND lOVE

NoMcSame

thats right who are these WHITE people to scrutinize a jr. senator looking for a promotion 130 days after he got one from the state senate, to the us senate. and who are these WHITE people who were wondering why the "NEGRO"(your words, not mine) is going around europe talkin like a president when he hasnt got the job yet. and who are these WHITE people to talk bad about you when you say you want to redistribute what THEY worked for, for the NEGROS govt programs, dont they know these WHITE people should just annoint him.

"He did not delivery any paid speeches…" CNN WWHEN WILL YOU PAY ME FOR COPY-EDITING?

I hope you and Hillary will get all these puma people to see the daylight if they vote for Mccain just another for years of Bush. Please make them see how stupid and dumb, and that they are being a racist. I supose they think if voting for Mccain his billionaire wife will put gas in there car, make the mortgage payment and put grocerys on the table and also she can get them a good supply of the drugs they need. So please get these people to wake up.

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

SO…….HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST OBAMA FOR EACH BILL CLINTON'S SPEECH?

McCain is in the pockets of big oil and we the American people will pay. To answer an above question: I'm a white, 64 year old female republcan who is backing Obama to the point I am sending him money weekly. He is the best thing for this country!!

Dude… What is UP with that shirt – tie- suit combo??

All that money and he can't hire a coordinator?

Why did you people at CNN had to call his earnings (using his God-given talent) a HAUL?

I think he should use this money to pay off Hillary's campain debt. I also question why he makes so much speaking in other countries. Is it because we're tired of listening to him?

Barack Obama CANNOT hold a candle to Bill Clinton, in any shape, way or form……….can't be done. Bill Clinton brought the Democrat Party back from the dead in 92 and Howard Dean turned around and dared to treat him like a step child during the primary.

When the rock star Obama looses in Nov. the uber left Dems will get the message…….The Clintons are "simply the best" and you let the newbies take over the party and lose. Whatever the Clintons do they have my support.

That is obscene.
Didn't Hillary deride Obama and his eloquence during her campaign. A tad hypocritical, n'est-ce pas.

Shouldn't be surprised.

Clinton sold out America to China, why stop there?

Looks to me like the Clinton's won't miss the 13 million that Hillary loaned herself in the primary campaign!! As the saying goes: "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer"!! Doesn't seem to matter if its the 21st century!! The odds of becoming poorer seem to increase from one generation to the next!

Who would vote for a guy who stoops to such lows because he is losing the batlle for the media's attention? This is also the same guy who said that he would run an admirable campaign and not revert to dirty tactics when Hilary and Obama were doing battle. What else will this guy lie about????

IT'S A SHAME HE HASN'T MADE ONE THAT BENEFITS

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. WE GAVE HIM THE JOB

AND HE GAVE US NOT WHAT WE DESERVE NOR WHAT

WE CAN USE. HE SHOULD COME OUT AND CALL THE

REPUBLICANS WHAT THEY ARE, SCUM BAGS, BUT NO.

OUR ECONOMY HAS THE MOST LETHAL CANCER & THE

CLINTONS ARE SPENDING THEIR TIME NEGOTIATING WITH

THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN, FOR GOD KNOWS WHAT.

Good going Bill 15 Mil to go and you can retire Hillary's debt. You can count on the Puma's or the 18 million sitting on their pocketbooks. They wanted your wife to keep fighting but can't contribute $2 each!
I don't want to see her pimp herself out for lunches with constituents anymore there is something unseemly about it ,don't you think?

good for him! If poeple were willing to shell out that much money for him, so be it.

I have no idea why a moderator would allow nomcsame or texas traildog's racist rant 's in this venue. They just can't grow up and big big boys. Well kid's guess what the man is bi-racial -get over it.
You are both a couple of morons

Moderate that CNN

CNN is angry that Clinton didn't win the primaries. That is why they flip-flopped into the "Independent Network". Give me a break. CNN was and still is the Clinton News Network and they are angry at Obama. Look at how much NEGATIVE press they give him compared to postive. It's about 3 to 1 negative.

Why my comment is still waiting moderation?

BILL CLINTON PAY YOUR WIFE DEBT

He deserves it. He left this country in good shape. Will the irrational hate for all things Clinton ever cease? People are sooooooo mean.

Good now you just need another 15 million and you and your pan-handler wife can stop begging for money to pay the debts her ego bought.

clinton charged that much for speeches, yet he is willing to do what evre obama ask, now who is kissing butt

After long time
CNN thanks ,
Very Good News
Bill you are best president we had in past 40 years
We wont have for another 4 years also
Hillary 2012

And yet Obama supporters are supposed to pay the debt Hillary racked up by spending money she didn't have.

And we're supposed to want her as VP even though during her election she was great at mismanagement and spending money she didn't have.

Wow.

And they call Obama an Elitist? He was raised by a single mom, i know alot more of those than I know millionaires.

Go Democrats!!!

NoMcSame,
Don't sound like anger to me. It is what it is!! Move on and up is what we've been trying to do for the past 200 years or more!! Slowly but surely!!

Well said…

A "Change" is gonna come!!

So I am confused. Capitalist profit is good unless what? People want to hear him talk. They are willing to pay. He pays taxes on his income. What is the issue? I seem to remember he didn't exactly come from a money background. No trust funds there like our current leadership. For all I care he an make millions more. We can't get people to listen to the current president for free. Also exactly what does this have to do with Obama. Missing the connection there…

GOOD FOR BILL CLINTON!

He should have made 20 Million, he has the talent, why not get paid for it? Actors get 20 million for 1 movie and there is no wide range report of that. Bill Clinton deserves every penny he makes. PERIOD.

heather from florida: It's funny how you call NoMcSame a racist. Either you are living far from your brothers and sisters or you're white. You have either lived a very sheltered life and have never exprerienced what millions of Black people see and hear on a daily basis or you're white. This is all true and just because we are bitter about blatant and closet racism does not make us racist ourselves. We have so much hope for Obama so much so that we hold our bitter toungues about racism in this crucial time. But please don't think of us as racist. We have always accepted you and other races. We are the ones who are rejected and despised of men. We have been slaves for centuries with no apoligies

NoMcSame???????

I have no clue what you're rambling on about – however it has no place here so take your soap box and preach in another area!

He only made 10 Million??? Well ,then Hilary is right, we should all have to help and pay for her campaign expenses!!

And we're still talking about retiring her debt?

No McSame – How angry are you about the sexism?

The fact that a man with no experience won the nomination over a smarter, more qualified WOMAN?

noMcSame. What's with you? If it's so bad for you here, feel free to go back to Africa. We all know how much better life is there. How hard do you try? Black HS dropout rate 50%. Black illegitimate birth rate 70%. Black rate of imprisonment, 33% of males at some point in their life. These are all personal choices. They all effect future economic success. Want equality? Try some personal accountability.

Hey Bill thought you were going to Campaign for Obama?

@ NoMcSame
I underrstand how you feel, but i also think it's time to move on. We are one nation

WOW ! $ $ $ $ $10.1 Million ! WOW ! WOW ! WOW ! This is why they campain so HARD ! I would get into this racket too if I was younger. Travel, Food, sight seeing and ALL THAT MONEY- WOW ! Boy, just think of the shopping you can do !

That's good. He was a good president. Our country was in a lot better shape when Bill Clinton was President. Remember?

I would say Hillary does not need my $50 to pay her bills. I sent it because Barack asked me to.
Please send it back.

To: NoMcSame.

I agree with you 100%. It's sad everything comes down to race but it does. What Obama and Michelle have had to endure is unbelievable. However, this is where we differ. WE don't have to take it. WE CAN make a difference. Should Obama lose this election because of racists who left the party WE can repay them for their ignorance. (BADP) Blacks Against the Democratic Party 2012. Let's show the democratic party in 2009 WE will NEVER be used again.

I wonder how much GW will make on speaches next year?! LOL!

You people are clueless. Campaign finance laws don't ALLOW his speech money to be used for campaign debt. The only money Hillary can use for her debt is by contributions. Geez. If I met an Obama supporter who actually knew anything about politics, I'd die of shock.

On topic though, way to go, Bill. That's my boy right there. I've met him a few times and haven't had to pay a cent. But I would if I had the money.

Proud Clintonite since 1992!

10 million. you know this money comes straight off of the top of what big buisness overcharges us daily for.

we need to mcwake up and and vote non partisen

I love this man…. He is awesome… have acted a little weird at times lately but he is most definitely one of the legends of out time. And for people who think otherwise are simply just jealous of him, that's all.

He charged civic organizations, such as the Boys and Girls Club of Los Angeles $150 K for speaking. First a rich Repub senator taking bribes in Alaska now this.

Greed I guess has no limits. I guess he can use the money to pay of Hillary's dept.

To: NomcSame…

I too, cosign every word you wrote. Americans can use every excuse they can to "explain" their reasons for not voting for Obama.
The truth is crystal clear to those who have open eyes.
Obama '08
p.s. the dream will be fulfilled!!

To Heather from Florida –

You obviously don't get it….."NoMcSame" is merely pointing out the racist point of view that these ex-HRC/now McCain/PUMA supporters have in respect to Obama…..he's being sarcastic….and I agree with his point 100%.

Did you go to school?

Please tell the Hillary supporters we do not need them to win this election. Go home and bake some cookies.

McCain 08,12

Bill Clinton was a great president. I hope he'll campaign hard for Obama.

He charged the Boys and Girls Club??

That 's $188,888.89 per speech. He needs to do 132.35 or we'll round it off to 132 speeches to pay Hillary's 25,000,000 debt. But then again, the price must have gone up in 2008 so let's say 100 speeches.

And she's asking for OUR money. Please…

The Democratic nomination race was a spirited one to put it mildly. President Bill Clinton said some things and took some actions at the time that I didn't support. However, he was supporting his wife. This is to be respected.

I voted for President Clinton in 1992 and 1996 and I am one among many who find his work through his global fund quite admirable.

$10M from delivering speeches? The man is a Political Powerhouse. Good health and happiness, President Clinton!

Hmm why havent we seen Bill out campaigning for unity with Obama? Is it because he knows that Obama fully plans to snub his wife and not offer her the vice presidency. What a way to endorse obama threw an aide and a released statement.
Well Im with you Bill—No bama not falling in line. "Not this Time"
Mc 08
Hillary 12

Bill Clinton is still the best democrat elected in the last 30 years..oh wait he is the ONLY one because of moderate not liberal postions.

Smart people do pay to hear one of the smartest man on earth.

wondering how much Bush will get for speeches…but yeah this isn't news

Since when is Canada "overseas"?

What about the debt?

Funny, the Obama supporters don't care at all where Obama and his wifes money came from but they complain about the Clintons making money honestly instead of like Obama's gifts from Rezko and the other freak terrorists.

@ NoMcSame…

WORD!

(NICE RANT! SURE to upset some readers on this blog!)

Why don't you quit writing about ole Bill he cost Hillary the nomination. Maybe he would just shut up but I doubt it.

Okay. 25M minus 10 equals 15 Million WAY TO GO CLINTONS! YOU CHOP THAT DEBT DOWN TO SIZE!
Why are these people asking me for money? I was going to contribute to reducing Hillary's debt but now that I am reminded of exactly how rich these people are, I feel less inclined to part with my hard earned cash by giving it to them. I know one thing if the Dems are gonna beat the GOP, those guys are gonna need more money.
I'm gonna buy another OBAMA T-SHIRT Those things are SO in style right now. It says you have hope for a brighter future

President Clinton was the best!!! Hillary will be a great president. You Obamites with your hate filled rhetoric, continue to show your ignorance.

Unfortunately, Obama will lose because you won't stop the hate and so we Clinton supporters can't find it in ourselves to join with you.

I'm staying home in November…the DNC showed me that my vote doesn't count anyway.

Its funny cnn wont post any anti OBAMA but they will post anything against Bush or McCain.Obama is a b rated hollywood movie at best.All the hype untill release date then a big bust.Let him do some town hall meetings that involve real questions then make your minds up.I WOULD TAKE A LIFETIME OF BUSH OVER 1 TERM OF MARXISM SOCIALIST OBAMA.

Maybe someone should start a website showing how much he has taken in on propaganda speeches and how much he has used to help his wife retire the debt she ran up and fully expected voters to cover. Maybe her loyalist screwball PUMA"s could pony up eough cash to have Bill make a speech for them on the condition that he donate the money to "debt retirement" .
.

Bill made $200K a year for 8 years as the most powerful man in the world (note it was raised to $400K during the Bush admin). It is hard to argue that he (and all previous presidents) wasn't underpaid.

Being president has delayed financial benefits. What's the big deal. People want to pay him to talk, so why shouldn't he do it?

Good for him. And no, he shouldn't be required to pay off Hillary's bills. If her supporters want to pay up, let them. However, if they don't nobody else made those debts but her. Unless of course, we want another government bailout.

NoMcSame: I hope you don't mind me borrowing your poem and posting it on another website. Great piece.

Alice…
this isn't wonderland…..

HILLARY FREAKING LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT WASN'T STOLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT WASN'T HER'S TO BEGIN WITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE BETTER PERSON WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA DIDN'T DO ANYTHING THAT HILLARY WASN'T DOING!!!!!!!!!!
GET OVER IT ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

grow up people…you're starting to sound like my 2 year old grandson…

And Hillary always put Obama down for his speech making abilities.

And its suppose to be Republicans and non-Obama supporters who are racist? Wow. Keep playing the race card Obama supporters (not all Obama supporters), see where it gets you. You know not everyone thinks Obama is so great. Personally, I find his economic plan lacking.

But I must be racist.

Was his price inflated by all those special interests thinking his wife was going to be a shoe in for the Presidency?

Wow! 10 million? He's half-way to paying off Hillary's debts! Now the PUMAs only have to get together 1/2 as much as before to support their "girl". PUMAs? Show us the money!!!! You only have to get together 1/2 as much as before! PUMAs? PUMAs? Hell-oooooo PUMAS!? (crickets chirping).

And Bill has GOT to stop shopping at the "Dad and Lad" shop at his local Billy-Bob department store. I'd give him $10 bucks just to change that gawdawful jacket, shirt, and tie. He looks like an ice cream truck driver! I guess if you just earned 10 million, you can dress any way you want to. At least he took off his tin foil hat.

Bill you can pay down some of Hilliary Debt ..c an't you….

The man has to make a living. He didn't do anything illegal. He is not the first and he won't be the last. If Barack Obama becomes president, he will do the same thing after he leaves that office.

@NoMcSame: quit tossing R-Bombs and race baiting. You're only showing yourself to the racist here.

Good! Now maybe he can help pay off his wife's debt, because I'm not giving her a dime!

Why is the so much about black people? Look at the first comment on this blog. People are making this into a White or black issue. I am getting sick and tired if you state you are not voting for Obama you have to be racist. Well this is not true!!! Obama's followers are so blinded to think that maybe we do not want Obama because of his inexperience. All he can deliver is a good speech he is an empty suit!!! I am getting so SICK OF BLACKS THROWING THE RACE CARD!

OBAMA IS AN EMPTY SUIT AND I DON'T CARE ABOUT HIS SKIN COLOR I WILL NEVER EVER, EVER VOTE FOR HIM

I don't begrudge Bill his wealth. I do, however, find it comical that the Clintons tried to cast Obama as the out-of-touch elitist given their own wealth and educational pedigree.

We picked the better candidate (Obama), and although some of your wife's supporters continue to behave irrationally and would cut off their nose to spit your face, I would have gladly supported your wife had she won. I voted for you and liked you as a President. You and your wife are talented people, though I don't agree with all your views.

Of course, it's all the media's fault. That's why Hillary lost.

Seriously, you people still arguing this are pathetic and need to get a life. You're almost as bad as the people still swearing Barack is a Muslim. When you argue these points, it makes you look really, really dumb.

NoMcSame: Very well said!

This is the real world that so many are relucant recognize. They call Obama "exotic" and "not one of us" when they really mean, "stay in your place NEGRO".

I hear ya, but I don't agree that Obama's campaign is a dream. NOT THIS TIME! I, too, feel the "Urgency of Now" as millions of other good Americans. It is no accident that this election is occurring during the 40th anniversay of MLK's death. God is the greatest equalizer and no weapon formed against him shall prosper. NOT THIS TIME.

I know that CNN will prevent this post, but at least they will see it.

GO OBAMA 08/12

The audacity of Hillary to ask her supporters to pay of her debt is incredible. Just shows what the dems stand for…no matter where you are in life, you can and should demand an entitlement.

Hillary is entitled to run for pres for free! I don't think so. If she really believed in America, she would gamble, and when losing would pay her own bills and chalk it up as a lesson learned.

Also Bill should just work for her for a year. Wouldn't that be the supportive thing to do? "Honey, since I'm your loving husband and I supported you in your run for pres, I will use all of the proceeds for my '08-'09 speeches to pay off your debt. That way you don't have to grovel and take money from people who will never earn in a year, what I earn for one speech".

Barr '08!!

Will George w. Bush get that much money yearly from giving speeches after he leaves the white house…..?

I think not……You could'nt pay me to sit and listen to him.

Maybe they could let Gerge speak to a room full of insomniacs and that would put them to sleep……

Repubs are soooooo jealous of the democrats successes….

Dem's are truly blessed

Isn't it interesting that people criticise Clinton about not managing her debt.well during her campaign. Guess who was responsible for that. Wasn't it Patti Solys Doyle. The very person that Obama hired? Great job checking her references Oreo.

So, BO can do that in a day.

NoMcSame,
You absolutely made me cry (I am a 61 year old white lady) you made me sit up and take notice, how sad that anyone should feel this way.
God Bless you and your family.
God Bless Mr. Obama and his family.
Obama '08

So Bill can help retire Hillary's debt. Right?

Please never tell me how you are patriotic and a man working for change.

You are working for your wallet and BS'ing all of us about how you care. You care only about yourself Clinton.

Hey, here's an idea: Deliver a speech to your wife and her PUMA supporters and inspire them to raise enough money to pay off her debt, as well as your fee for giving them the speech.

You suck Clinton (Mr. AND Mrs.)!

TELL ME AGAIN WHY DO WE HAVE TO PAY OFF THEIR DEBTS FROM HER POORLY RAN CAMPAIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill Clinton SHOULD pay off Hillary's debts then. What is the problem here? WHY is it everyone else's problem? I mean, it just that simple since she once accused Sen. Obama of only making "speeches", but here she has her side kick doing EXACTLY the same thing. Go figure.

The Clinton's know exactly how the game is played, they've been playing it for years, so nothing to me is surprising except their inability to face reality that THEY are not as powerful as they thought. The AMERICAN people are the POWER behind it all, and they have clearly spoken.

The Clinton era has come and gone,it's time they really face the music and start living their own lives.

Congrats to Bill on your money profitting speaches. People need to get over their jealousy because the Clintons were practically broke when they left the White House.

If all goes well, Barack will be making money on speeches too rather than giving making foreign policy in the White House.

Of all the candidates running for office this year, Hillary was the best candidate. I have no heart for Barack or McCain

WOW, MCSHAME. You are holding in a lot of White hatred there. I am not surprised at all. A lot of Blacks such as you push these types of lies about white people to try and justify the reason you behave so poorly and treat whites even worse. Most Blacks go to school on free rides these days even if they are only "C" students. Whites have to go in debt for the rest of their lives trying to pay high interest rates on student loans if they want an education. If you want me to believe in your poor old me comments, maybe you ought to try out these ball buster student loans like white people have to. I happen to work in a place that employs as many blacks as whites. Surprise surprise, they even employ gays. So I'm sorry but I don't feel sorry for you at all. Everyone that ever came to America did so under some form of slavery, or because of persecution. I am white and my ancestors came here to be indentured. Even that was better than staying in Holland where they would have been beheaded. Maybe you and other blacks like you should think about what you left. I hear Africa is pretty hellish these days. Do you regret for one minute that your ancestors were brought to america to be slaves??? So you won't hear poor you from me. Obama is just another person in my eyes. He will either fail or not. I don't dislike him for the color of his skin. I dislike him for the company he kept and his lack of experience. You don't hear him complaining about his lack of opportunity. From what I hear he has had more than his share of opportunity. Only the rich can aspire to becoming president. His bad judgement on his friends also made him rich from all their free gifts. Scrupples are what matter no matter what color your skin is. Get over your hate., McShame. A new day is dawning and I doubt that you were ever a slave or saw any thing bad as a result of it. I am flat out tired of your whining. .

That man grinning behind him must be Hillary's attorney, just waiting for the divorce settlement. I can see the bubble above his head, "Hmmm, a new car, new golf clubs, a vacation to the Bahamas…"

Bill Clinton would have to pay me to listen to him.

Good for Bill! He and Hillary never had much of anything for most of their public service years; never even owned a home until they left the WH. It's great that they can reap rewards for their dedication to improving the lives of disadvantaged children, women, and families. It's for sure they don't get much thanks for continuing to focus on peace and prosperity while enduring relentless attacks from right wing fanatics.

Some of you say the primary is over…then why are you attacking the Clintons?!? Stop the hate.

You go Bill, I'm sure Hillary is the person we could use now Obama is a flash in the Pan, and McCain is a transition Pres. either way if you got the economy smoking white hot when you were Pres. I have no doubt that Hillary could and would do the same.

ps see you in 2012 cause the two losers will last 1 term and their gone.

Respectfully a Clinton Supporter

CORRECTION: Former president Bill Clintion RECEIVED $10.1 millon in 2007 for giving paid speeches … he sure as hell didn't EARN it. Big different between receiving and earning money, but who would expect politicains or big news organizations to understand the difference. Only wasteful fools would spend that kind of money when there is no real benefit from the expediture!

And this is why I don't feel guilty for not helping to pay down Hillary's debt. She and Bill can always make a few speeches to get that money back. My (limited) extra cash is going towards Obama!

I'm sorry… I don't understand why this is news. Tons of politicians and *all* ex-presidents make money this way. I don't get why this is being reported on the Ticker, nor why so many people seem to be discussing it here…

Considering what he did for this country (i.e. 22 million jobs, balanced budget, budget surplus, peace and prosperity, respected by the world, minimum wage increase, the successful effort in Bosnia, appointing 2 reasonable supreme court justices) he deserves every penny.

You go Bill!

Is Not about black or white, is about who can be the smartest , lederschip, experience. Obama is not in this category, he is not, not because is black . So stop to Obama supporters and black people how cry all the time and think to will lose because is Black. Go Hillary.

President Clinton has earn it, he should be paid more as he was the President that got us out of the first President Bush mess and got our economy back where it should be today.

I believe those who are always saying negative comments about him and Hillary are just jealous of them.

Glad to be a strong supporter of the Clintons and honor to be a Pledge Delegate for Seantor Clinton from California.

HILLARY IS BEGGING POOR PEOPLE LIKE US TO HELP PAY HER DEBT OFF, IS SHE INSANE. IF I WAS OBAMA I WOULD KEEP RIGHT ON GIVING SPEECHES, IF THEY PAY WHAT BILL IS MAKING.

HILLARY, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAME OF ASKING YOUR SUPPORTERS TO HELP PAY YOUR DEPT OFF, ASK BILL.

MOST OF SUPPORTERS FOR OBAMA AND HILLARY IS POOR AND HAVING A HARD TIME, OBAMA STOP ASKING YOUR SUPPORTERS TO HELP PAY HILLARY DEBTS OFF, WHEN HER HUSBAND IS MAKING MILLIONS.

Former President Clinton made over 10 million dollars from speeches. Who paid the bill for the Secret Service protection during these speeches?

Well, now, the Clintons can pay off her campaign debt.

I am happy for Bill and voted for him and Hillary. What a pair of real Americans who will defend our values. Unlike obama who will dis our values.

Obama is the riskiest candidate we have ever had for the office of POTUS.

He does not share your values and will re-energize the welfare system. Why else would 95% of the African Americans support his candidacy.

ProudToBeDemocrat, are you one of those educated Obamabots???????????

Maybe he can lend a few to Hillary to repay her debt !

So why are we worried about his wifes Debt? Any of you out there calling for Obama to pay her Bills get paid as much as he does to TALK??

Just Wondering…How much of our TAX dollars go to the VERY complex duties of protecting him abroad each year as he "earns" all of these Millions?? I will bet it is MORE than he earns.

To NoMcSame

Is the "Honorable" (I use that term very loosely) Rev.Wright your pastor as well. WOW

CNN what does Bill Clinton speech's have to do with the ticker, or are you trying to take the focus off Obama's bad press and put it on the Clintons.

Bill was President….Obama hasn't even been a Senator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't pay 2 cents to see Obama!!!

Maybe Hillary should ask Bill to start speaking more……because he is going to have to speak a tremendous amount to resolve her 25 million campaign debt…….and that price tag is enough to "choke" any speaker……and what does he have to say to [anyone] at those prices? He might make a good CNN pundit.

C'mon Bill…help your wife out!! "Shame on you!"

AS,
For who is not ready to run this Country is Mc Cain
I know if he wins……….it will due to his race. not anything else……….trust me on this one………….he will make this country…….deal with their race issues. how sad……..when it happens……..please this country should not say a word

So, maybe it's just me, but why the heck is the Boys and Girls Club of Los Angeles shelling out $150,000 for Bill (or anyone) to speak? Shouldn't that money be used to help the organization?

Their mission: Boys & Girls Club values providing quality educational and recreational experiences to all children and youth from the communities of Northeast Los Angeles (from their website)

Maybe I'm off my rocker here….

So her debts are paid!

They have enough money to choke a horse…stop the GREED HIL/BIL and pay your own bills.

Where do you think Obama gets his money???? Renko

At least Bill is working for his money.

How much did Obama pay those bands in Germany to put on that show so that he could be seen standing there with 200,000 people that really came to see a free concert and enjoy free beer and brauts paided for by the Obama campaign.

Maybe while the Dems are trying to force American corporations to pay their executives less, they should also tell corporations they can't pay a former US president $150,000 per hour for speaking

Clintons should pay their own bills. The writting was ON THE WALL for a month and a half before Hillary finally got her pant suit out of the way. Your "debt" is self inflicted.

Is anyone else thrown off by this article? What does this have to do with anything? OK?

Ask Bill Clinton why did he refuse to intervene in the Rwanda genocide?

Ouch "No McSame" I understand your message and get your irony, but wanted to footnote a reminder to readers that Senator Obama is just as much white as he is black.

Seriously. We are paying Hill Street Blues' debts WHY?

Pretty impressive haul for talking.

When did President Clinton acquire Ed McMahon's hair?

good for them. This makes me want to pay off her debt all the more.

not

I wonder if Bill will donate some of that money to help illegal immigrants. His NAFTA bill really hurt taxpayers here in the US. We should be re-inbursed.

@ NoMcSame: As an American woman (black), and extremely staunch Obama supporters, rants like that don't make things better, they just further divide our beloved nation. Hopefully, an Obama presidency will be a reality, but only time will tell. I know there are a lot less racists in this country than you actually think. You don't speak for all black folks.

Obama/Clinton '08

NoMcsame, what is the point you are making? What has that have to do with Bill's speaches?

I am so glad Hillary had not won the primary. This clown wont be the 1st man or gentlmen. Poor PUMAs…Its ok now go help her pay her debt.

Well….I guess he could pay off Hillary's debts with about 75 speechs. Maybe Hillary's campaign paid him to speak during her campaign?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCTSJwRzAzs

Bill Clinton is who Bill Clinton is..

Remember what he said about "Big Oil".

and they are worried about their debt because?

@ NoMcSame

CO-SIGN EVERY WORD.

Seems like he could help his wife retire her debt….they are loaded but I guess the "hard working white people" will get right on that debt reduction thing.

Well now..! And to think that Senator Hillary Clinton went negative on Obama in the primaries for his SPEECHES that the Republicans are now using on Obama.

And

To think that Hillary continued to call Obama an "Elitist and Out of Touch with America" when Obama had just paid off his student loans.

Please!

Good for Bill Clinton. But why is this news?

testify!

So as Hillary would say to Obama only speaches, but her husband is making millions with but speaches.

Ten Million HUH?
Get him to pay off his wifes campaign debt instead of us tax payers .
WOW there is a concept!

NoMcShame….you are clearly a racist!

So after Bill Clinton pays off Hillary's campaign debt, Hillary Clinton can take Bill Clinton out to dinner instead of her gimmick offer yesterday (we the public donate no less than $10 and win a chance for Hillary to take you to dinner). This way Bill can enjoy a tax write off and other benefits while Hillary's debt is retired. What a deal!

If Bill Clinton got $10M for speeches imagine how much Barack Obama is going to get as the messiah. After all he can pack entire stadiums! Bill could only pack large auditoriums.

Barock your biggest fantasies!

Good for you, Bill! Keep on making speeches and lots of money. You owe Obama and the Democratic Party NOTHING. They treated you and Hillary SHAMEFULLY, and we PUMA's will remember that in November.

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA ONLY IF HILLARY IS ON THE PTICKET WHO CARES ABOUT THE PARTY I DONT PERIOD!!!!!!!!!

NoMcSame, you sound a bit angry. Anger time is over. Time to forgive and move on toward ONE AMERICA!

OBAMA 08!

now they can pay off Hillary's debt.

Eventhough i am a Obama supporter, i believe Big Bill did not deserve all the negative publicity he got during the Primaries.And as a Dem Ex-President he makes me proud to be a Dem. So please!!! leave him alone and lets concentrate on McSame and his PATHETIC ATTACK ADS.
Obama is the REAL DEAL!!!

Yeah he should definitely use that money to pay his wife's debt, why should Obama do it?

And Hillary can't pay off her campaign debt?

So. I would pay (or at least I hope I havent) to see him.

We know more about his money then we do about Cindy McCain and her 'contributions' to her husband's champaign. That is backwards.

Good to know. Now he can put the money toward his wife's campaign debt so she can stop asking the working poor to pay for her mistakes. He has $109 million to fall back on.

That's great, now do your anchor's, Mr. Yoon, for Comparison; after all he publically speaks on salary, or compare it to his wifes Senate compensations… Oh, privilage is the reward?

Its because he is black in America and seen as an outsider. People both good meaning and otherwise refused to see him as an American politician. They would rather believe bad things about him then good because its what they think of black men. You talk about the Republican brand being on the outs, try touting the Blackman brand and running for president at the same time, with an odd name. In the eyes of the plummer in Georgia, why do we need a black president? In the eyes of the Court Officer in West VA what does Obama mean? If all you know of Obama is that he is good looking, speaks well, and is black, why would you vote for him. Most of us dont even listen to what he says, we listen to what others say he says. Keep in mind, we as a nation knew less about Carter, Clinton, and to some degree GW Bush then we know about Obama but the one thing we do know is, he is black.

Gee, maybe Bill could help Hillary retire her campaign debt. I hope he entered the "retirement" contest.

AND HILLARY'S DEBTS?

Does anybody remember how Hillary used to attack Obama about 'SPEECHES'?
Now you know why! Obama is bad for Bill's speeches business

In't interesting this Ex president makes fortune on public speaking and what does Dady Bush do jumps out of plane. What do you think Junior Bush will do ride his bike around his Ranch.

And Hillary is begging for poor folks to donate money to her. ?OMG Give me a break .

And why is this News??

Are we still in the Primaries??? ………

CNN I know you miss your precious Clinton ……… but i'd like to inform you we're in the GE race not primary ….

Way go go Bill. Hope all is well with you and Hillary.

JUST ANOTHER ISSUE TO SLAM THE CLINTONS. O.B. GETS MILLIONS YOU PRAISE THE MEDIA CLOWN. AMERICA WILL WAKE UP WHEN ITS TO LATE.

So why should we retire Hilary Debt?

YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS. WHEN YOU CAN TOP BILL'S PERFORMANCES THEN YOU CAN CALL OBAMA THE BEAN HEAD THE MESSIAH. UNTIL THEN JUST SHUT UP. YOU SEE WHO IS STILL THE FAVORITE MAN IN THE U.S.A.

Sounds like Hillary has her own fundraiser. She should send him out to retire her debt. I'm sure the decision to continue her campaign was a "joint" decision! God knows he had to have inhaled on that one!

Good for him. Maybe he will donate some of that to Obama…

Go ahead Bill…keep talking.
While OBAMA keeps winning….

But yet his wife wants Obama to help her get money to help her.
Don't you dare smile NEGRO. Don't you dare seem to be happy NEGRO. Don't you dare to stand up to to hate and what white folks feel is right even if it is wrong NEGRO. Don't you dare to go to school and get a Harvard Law School degree and think that you are smarter than any white man. Don't you dare love your wife and take care of your kids and live the American dream NEGRO because the dream is not for you.
A white c student that is a drunkin daddy's boy is better to have at president than you NEGRO. A white man that leaves his sick wife for a rich one is better than you NEGRO. A white man that can FLIP FLOP on any issue and is not called on it is better than you NEGRO. A white man that IS said to be the worst president in the world is better than you. Who do you think you are going to another country thinking that you are representing our U.S.A. NEGRO? Do you know your place? You must not. No matter how good you think that you are the white people of America will come together to show you where your place is NEGRO and it ain't in the White House.
THIS IS THE AMERICA THAT WE BLACK FOLKS SEE. MLK HAD A DREAM AND A DREAM IT WILL ALWAYS BE IN THIS RACIST COUNTRY. McSAME WILL USE IT JUST LIKE HILLARY DID. THEY WILL LET OBAMA AND THE REST OF US KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT ONE OF THEM. SO BLACK PEOPLE IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW HARD WE TRY IT WILL NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH. AS ALWAYS ITS JUST ANOTHER SAD DAY IN AMERICA.
