I agree with Lesley, if Hillary has such strong supporters that need to be heard at the convention, let them help her with her debt.

You Hillary supporters need to stop talking and get to paying up. My goodness what happened to all that love? This should've been a done deal since the primaries were over months ago. Please pay up so she can shut up. Thank you.

PUMA's r a repub organization w a few high profile mad and angry hillary supporters at the top. thats why they dont pay up. Obama would have helped her if hillary's supporters helped him. They didnt so he didn't. he's the one in control and the clintons refuse to accept that.

Hilliary is in debt over her campaign but how about all the people who going to vote for Obama. If they make 50,000/year it is going to cost them additional 2,000 per year in taxes not to mention if gas goes up to $8.00/per gallon.

Let the "18 million" put their money where their mouths are...and pay off the debt. That is not Barack Obama's responsibility. He has a campaign to run, that he has run very well. She ran a poor campaign...and did not wisely manage her finances. If she can't effectively manage the finances of her campaign, how could she possibly run the country. That is her responsibility. She should have these conversations quietly with the DNC, not Barack Obama. This is not a good look for her or for women. She should be more resourceful, and quietly take care of this. The more noise she makes, the more she makes herself look really bad and incompetent. Come on, how many other former candidates have constantly badgered and begged the nominee to pay of their poorly managed campaign debts?

Talk about fiscal irresponsibility, This woman spent millions from a well financed machine advancing her cause, and then spent more money that she didn't have when every major news service said that she was fighting a losing battle. Now even after she lost the nomination she wants a roll call vote at the convention and she and her supportors don't want to pay off the large debt that she owes, but expects Her opponent to pay it. Her supporters need to grow up, face reality for once, back the party nominee, and pay their own debts.

“He has provided her with a pittance compared to what the Clintons have given Obama,” she said. “Her debt could have been cleared within 10 days. It’s ungracious.”

Hmm? It's support from this type of deflecting, presumptuous, and irresponsible mindset that mired Hillary's campaign in the first place.

Not gung-ho about Obama, but he's under no formal obligation to do crap about Hill's debt. Shifting the blame to the winner isn't going to help matters.

Alas, it's up to every responsible Dem to help Hill, not any single vat of supporters.

This is the reason why I couldn't vote for her. How can she fix our economy if she cannot balance the debt in her own campaign? Her campaign's budget is peanuts compared to the US economy.

On a separate note, does anyone know if McCain believes in God or not? I wasn't clear on his response to that.

She had no business spending all that money for attack ads on her primary opponent when 1) everyone said, do the math; you lost, honey; and 2) she wasn't getting contributions at the time

She won't miss the money. How rich do you have to be?

I don't see why people should pay for Clinton's mismanagement of millions of dollars. Why should the DNC pay for the staff's $2000 Dunkin Doughnut fees. Why doesn't that her billionaire supporter–the one that's keep whining to other people to pay Clinton's debt–pay it if she loves Hilary so much.

Let's see... $25M in debt... $13M of her own money... that means she is only truly in debt to the tune of $12M to outside vendors. Her precious PUMA members, 18M strong (yeah, right), could donate $0.67 each and she would be free and clear. Isn't your candidate worth 67 cents? As for the $13M of her own money??? Hey, sometimes you have to pay to play. By the way, who refunded Mitt Romney's personal investment? Too many free lunches for politicians in this country as it is. Suck it up Hillary and move on.

It is just disgraceful. Hillary ran up the debt when she knew she could not win and the Billary supporters whine about her debt. All the other postings have it right. If the 18 million would give a $1.00 or so – no debt. So, the question is: where are the 18 million? Maybe they were never really there after all. It is their mess to clean up and no-one elses.

Responsibility starts at home.

I am very surprised that billionaire is angry at Obama for not helping "ENOUGH" to pay H. Clinton's debts. We are talking about a billionaire here. Clinton owes millions why doesn't Lynn just write a check for 1 quarter of the sum and get some friends to front with quarters too ( from Lynn Forrester though )? The party needs money to campaign enough to ensure that they spread the message to get Obams elected. I beleive that Clinton's debts can be paid gradually and with whatever is left after the race for the White house. What do you think? (Now don't get all insultive on me, I am just expressing an opinion. Enlighten me rather than insult me if you are responding to my opinion)

He did it so many times, with Rezko and Rev Wright.

I am so sick and tired of Clintons' begging for money they themselves got into at the same time supporting a jerk like Mark Penn and bashing Obama. She and the husband have very thick skin and have the gall to ask Obama to bail her out. They are extremely rich with millions and millions in stack. What preposterous gesture! How about bailing me out, everybody out \there....

Oh Pumas why not get off your butts and pay off her Bill if she your Queen bee.. I am sick of the whoa is me act from Billary.. Hey Pumas vote for McCain if you like War, because you'll get World War III from McCain. You want higher taxes, vote McCain. If you want higher gas, vote McCain.. Get the picture Pumas.. YOU are so bitter and angry your willing to lose the white house to a black man, rather than see ANY Dem in office?

Also has anyone else noticed that gas prices started climbing when Bush mentioned a stimulus package, and now that the checks are all out (mid-July to be fair) and most spent on what Gas, that gas prices have dropped since Mid-July? Just a coincidence or something afoot? Think about..

I'm not anti-Clinton but why is it Obama's responsibility to pay off her debt when she had 18 million supporters? Why should there even be equity in this? He needs to raise money to win the presidency. If it were reversed, the Clinton's would not be raising money for him. A successful run for president would have to come first.

Lynn Forrester (Rothschild – don't forget that part) is rich enough that she should be able to take care of Clinton's small vendors from her mad money.

How can she still be in DEBT when she claims she has 18-million women which she claims as part of and extension of the Clintons property?

If indeed these 18-million women are trully and still with her, why NOT each contribute $2.50 min. She will have more than she needed to clear this debt to date. It's a SHAME these 18-million women are lettng her down.

Where are these so-called 18-million women at? Hillary needs thee NOW. I just donated $0.01 to Hillary to help clear her DEBT and $100 to OBAMA.

Thank you for the entertainment, folks.

Bill Clinton gets $100,000/ speech. Now, my simple math skills tell me that it will take him 180 hrs( speeches) to pay off the entire debt.. I have friends that work 90 hrs/wk in minimum wage jobs...but, they don't live like the Clintons, either, obviously.

This sounds like a pathetic Clintonesque version of "Bonfire Of The Vanities". As I said, thank you, for the entertainment.

Obama will lose the presidency because of so many reasons, let me count the way;
inexperience
arrogance,
inexperience
he is a front man for G.S. the destroyer
inexperience
no scruples
inexperience
corruption
and did I mention inexperience.

Had Senator Clinton conceded her candidacy when she was trailing Senator Obama, I would've respected her character. The fact that she stubbornly carried on, even when it was clear that Senator Obama was winning, and especially knowing that she was running on red, showed how unfit she would have been as our President. Her refusal to quit cost Democrats their party unity. She clearly doesn't care about anybody else. She only has her own personal agenda in mind. And since when does Senator Obama has to pay her debt? She spent the money, she should pay for it. I'm glad she's not my friend.

Hillary claims she has 18 million voters.
PUMA support her.
Why cannot the PUMA and her supporters refuse to bail out Hillary from her debt if they really support her?

But PUMAS cries that they will vote for McCain. Did Hillary asked them to do so? if they vote for McCain, how can they call themselves democrats?

Further the campaign debt is not the debt of the party or the nominee of the party. If Hillary supporters are still support her, please pay her $5.00 each and bailout your beloved Hillary!

Nothing that you say will ever convince me to vote for obama. I have come to really realize that this man is the lowest of the low. It's almost a joke to watch him "work" the citizens of this country. Whatever you want to hear, whatever is called for at the moment, he'll say it....he'll promise it.obama is the most dishonest person I've seen in a long time.as a matter of fact, I have never seen so much dishonesty in one person before. If you are a christian, please take a closer look at his voting record on abortion and how willing he is to kill and how willing he is to tax people to death to pay for more and more abortions. I can't wait for all those young bam-bam supporters to get jobs so they can be taxed to death along with the rest of us. Think you won't be????? then you're stupid.

I can't believe Americans did not think the Clinton's wouldn't do something at the convention to cause a ruckus. I had no intention of watching the Dems destroy theirselves, but now that the Clintons will be doing what they do best (causing trouble) I might watch it just for fun! What a shame Obama didn't have more intestinal fortitutude to say NO to them, that only proves once again what kind of a man he is and how he will run our country.

I'm sick and tired of hearing HRC. She made her bed and now she must lay in it. She got 18 million supporters so let them contribute to her debt. Come to think of it, if she got 18 million supporters why didn't they contribute before her debt ran so high? Obama has made an effort to help her pay off her debt. What more do you want? He cannot use his campaign funds to pay off her debt as that is violation of campaign rules.

People Hillary lost and either she or her supporters are not willing to accept it. ACCEPT IT AND MOVE ON. If you are really true supporters then make donations to pay off her debt. Many of you want her to take the nomination from Obama in Denver but remember this. If she takes the nomination from him, she has no funds to use in a run against McCain thus putting the Republicans back in the White House. Not a smart move.
