Whine, whine, whine, whine…. poor pitiful Hillary… whine, whine, whine….

I have an idea for Hilary. Why don't you get your fat ar..e back to New York and try acting like a senator. Your first words when you got the job were " I will serve my full term and not leave to seek the presidential nomination" This past year you have been in NY exactly 19 hours. BTW what have you ever done for NY? Where are all the jobs you promised? I would love to see a female elected president of the US but she has to have good character and be honest. Someone like Margarate Thatcher but not the kind of person we find in Bill's wife.

Let me see if I have this straight…

Hillary runs campaign. Spends lots of money, piles up lots of bills in the process, yet wants someone else to pay for it (the fact that her FEC report alleges enough money on hand to retire the debt).

And she'd like to claim that this:

a - not socialist; and
b - not elitist.

Sounds like both to me. And exactly how'd she would've run the country. "I have all these ideas I want YOU [through taxes] to pay for".

Hillary - pay your OWN bills.

Andy Dem in DR via CA & NY

You claim that hiTlary clinton has done so much for Children. Please give us a couple of examples of all that thunder thighs has done for children.

Come on. I am tired of this beggin her supporters to get with it. They don't want McCain, they just want to keep their "cause" alive. She lost. That's the end of the story and these voters will all vote for Obama in the end. It's just the media that keeps this going, her voters wont vote for McCain, we only have one choice and Change is coming to America. Quit pretending the bigots still rule in America. If Obama gets this stolen the people of color in this country will really show you how to Recreate 68.

Simple solution - invest a million in cattle futures.

You made the debt, now pay it.

MIke
your comment is why I will never vote for the messiah. If Obama loses its his fault and no one elses. He is arrogant and inexperienced. This country is in too much trouble to ever trust it to someone that does not have a clue how to run it.

As an Obama supporter, when Hillary stops referring to Obama as "my opponent", I'll contribute to her debt. Until then, why would I or why should I?

Do I think Hillary should be RE_PAID by supporters- NO WAY!

However, NOBAMA asked others to help and they have not. What does that say about the party unity to heal wounds and move on. Or maybe NOBAMA does not have the ability persuade other to jump on board……..

Either way, Hillary wanted it bad enough to use her own money and therefore others should not have to REPAY her for her loyalty to the party.

What was she doing even getting this far into debt in the first place? Haven't we seen with Bush what it's like to have a president who doesn't know how to balance the books? She spent money she didn't have on a campaign that was already lost, and now she thinks her opponent - "the biggest fairy-tale ever" - should be working towards paying off the debt she chose to create?

Obama's focus should be on raising money to win the White House. The Clinton era is over.

Hillary was the great candidate but all her supporters will line up behind John McCain. Why should we support Barack who has no experience. We cannot give our great nation in raw hands. Vote John McCain. This is the only choice we have now.

So I do not care about her debt…. so what….

Ask me if I care….. please ask me if I care…… Hey are you asking????

I use to love the Clinton's but if Obama loses I will blame the Billary and will never cast my vote for a Clinton again…..

Hey is anyone going to ask if I care about her debt????

poor poor hillary,, fianlly has debts,,, but then what about all the monies that are stashed somewhere?? clitons expect to be bailed out?? lol, hahaha,, guess you over-spent huh hillary?? pay up or shut up,, obama08 and beyond

if her 18 million supporters love her that much, why won't they donate $1 each?

Forgive me for laughing out loud that a "prominent Clinton backer" is calling Obama "ungracious". That is really rich. Here is a candidate (Clinton) who spent the last several months of her campaign trying to tear Obama down and smear his name in any way possible. They threw the kitchen sink at him, despite the fact that the rest of the Democratic party was vocally uncomfortable and worried that she might be causing permanent damage to the eventual (and at the time, increasingly inevitable) nominee. In fact, the Clinton campaign was "gracious" enough to write the playbook for the Republicans, and they are still sticking to her script. If you ask me, Obama has been exceedingly gracious with Clinton. He has given her a prime speaking slot at the convention, and he has said all sorts of nice things about her. Even when the campaing was at its nastiest phase, Obama steered clear of launching verbal attacks on Clinton's character, though she was not returning the favor. Did Obama ever call her out for lying about sniper fire in Bosnia? No, he didn't. he was taking the high road and being GRACIOUS.

When it comes to money, Obama and the Democrats need all the money they can get to beat the Republican smear machine (thanks again Hill). Personally, I could care less about Clinton's debt. I do feel sorry for the saps who trusted her and will never get the money she owes them. As for her PUMAs, I have never seen such a sorry bunch of whining sore losers in my life. These are supposed to be adults if they are of voting age… I hope none of them really values their right to reproductive choice.

Why should anyone but Clinton worry about her debt? She and Bill got rich on all you little people. Don't you get it? They don't care about you. The Clintons are gone. They won't be back in 2012. It's OVER!!!!!!! Thank God they are Gone.

Why don't the Clintons have a yard sale up in Westchester County?

I'm sure there are plenty of goods from the White House still in storage.

I love that Clinton's PUMA idiots are spamming and trolling all over the message boards and no matter how much they say they love their candidate, they aren't even helping her pay off her debt. Sounds like idiots looking for a reason to complain, to me.

thank you diane from NJ

My brother said the same thing except he is a mcwar supporter. He's a racist pig and I cannot believe he is related to me.

He'll vote for mcwarmonger even though he knows his niece, her husband and my son, his nephew will probably get injured or killed fighting bush's ilegal war.

What can I say, you can't pick your family members!

It's obvious that Hillary and her campaign leaders have taught her followers how to hate and tear down, not how to support and build up. They how to blame others, but will not contribute to help her.

If Clinton made an explicit promise that no contributions will be used to pay Mark Penn, I think she can raise enough to pay the rest of her bets. I'd contribute to repay her own loan before I'd give a dime to Mark Penn.

perhaps she shouldnt have used the last two months and tens of millions of dollars to tear down our nominee.she shouldnt have to pay penn.he didnt do his job for her.

Let me get this straight, HRC didn't manage her money and over spent and is now in deep debt, yet people think she can fix the economy. If she can't manage her campaign budget how can see manage the national budget. Absolutely insane.

Here's a idea Hillary, do what the rest of us do with debt, work hard and pay it off and quit looking for nanny state hand outs.

Obama don't pick Hillary. Let her panhandle in denver so she stops crying. Tell her to quit the drive-off at the gas pumps because she will get caught.

leave Deborah alone… she is a PUMA and we will get our kids overseas to fight in wars one way or another

yeah- so let's put this into some perspective.. her debt is around 23 million…
of that she owes … HERSELF 13 million.. ha ok- nice… 11 million is to Vendors…
did you all read that- it's all up in that article..
So of her 25 million she had on July 31st in hand… why hasn't she paid that 11 million with that 25 million she had in hand?

Obama is ungracious? She can't help herself? Again, I am clearly missing something.

Please post…

My posts ARE CAPS LOCK getting skipped! Am I typing to correctly? Do I need to 'be a ranting fanatic,' and type in less senseless manners? I can CAPS LOCK if needed.
Please post.. geesh

She just needs to get her hubby bubba to schmooze the money outa some coporate stockholders CEO kickback taking wallet or maybe one of his presedential pardoners' pants pocket.

This is the high cost of Hillary Clinton's vanity. She stayed in the race well past her expiration date, spending tens of millions trying to take down Obama by the dirtiest means possible, and now he's supposed to cover her debt? Right.

Most of this money was stolen from the voters during the campaign and diverted to personal accounts of Bill Clinton and Chelsea. I hope they go to jail.

The reason the 18 million voters has not helped Hillary is because there are not 18 million voters. The majority of the votes she got came through operation chaos in the open primarys. I can't believe the media is still trying to push her 18 million voters as being a fact. Look at the Texas primary and caucus. The primary was open both dems and repubs could vote. The caucus was closed only dems could vote. Hillary won the primary to due Rush's operation choas. Obama won the caucus. If the primary would have allowed dems only to vote, Obama would have won the primary also.

I'm sooooo sick of Hillary Clinton and her supporters. She ran herself into debt trying to prolong the invetiable. It's total her fault and her ego. She is such a joke. I can't believe some of you people still support her and her lies. She is a disgraceful human being.

With campaign finance laws it is very difficult for Clinton to retire her debt. This is a striking difference between how the two campaigns have been financed. Obama raised money from hist supporters by getting 5, 10, or 20+ dollars per donar. This is well under the 2300 limit imposed by the finance law. This also leaves a large donor base to give to Obama time and time again. Conversly, Clinton's donors gave her the maximum 2300 each, and as a result can not give more. This leaves her in the position where she needs to get new donors in order to retire her debt.

Also, both Michelle and Barak gave the maximum 2300 to Clinton. I am also under the understanding that Obama's campaign can only give a maximum of 250,000 to the Clinton campaign.

If you are upset about the finance situation, then research the laws to see what is legally possible to do.

If she can't manage her own money, can you imagine what she'll do with ours?

I'm trred of this. I feel badly for her, but with all of her supporters that can't stop whining about how badly she was mistreated, why can't they donate more to her!

If they put their money where their mouth is she would be fine! I think I will contribute to her debt b/c I like her, I just never supported her candidacy.

OBAMA MUST CHOOSE HILLARY AS VP TO GET MY VOTE!!!

OBAMA/CLINTON"08″

who cares what some golddigging ex-pat has to say. she aint nothin but a high dollah ho

And holding your vote hostage unless Obama picks Hillary is sickening. I'm tired of Hillary and her supporters sense of entitlement. She would've made Bush look like the best President ever.

oh please, deborah. get over it. there are thousands of people who went to wright's church, not just obama. and you can't possibly believe that mccain shares any of your political views if you are indeed 'a life long democrat'. you sound ready to watch your house burn down instead of letting obama help you put out the fire!

i'm quite sure taken in context, the wright comments would not be as divisive as you saw in those 10 - 30 sound bites played endlessly on the news.

This woman is not broke! By any means unless her faithless husband spent all of it!

Another day older and deeper in debt…..

It's only to be expected when, in the face of losing the race for the nomination you extend the campaign out ad infinitum. The fact of the matter is no one wants to donate to the loser - especially when that donation goes to retire "worthless" (considering an election is still in progress) debt. You pays your money and you takes your chances….HRC did, and lost.

I hear the train a comin,
It's comin around the bend,
I ain't seen the sunshine,
and Obama Hussein ain't gettin in.

JR Cash (McCain Supporter)

If she really wanted his help, she would act like she wanted his help and do some real campaigning and bring you Democrats closer together. She is going to cost Obama the election. How much would you be willing to pay for that? McCain should consider Hillary for his running mate. She is doing more to get him elected than anyone.

I've yet to see on this post on any other relating to Hill's campagn debt any PUMA stating a reason as to WHY they expect Obama supporters to retire her debt (in other words pay off Mark Penn - NOT GONNA HAPPEN WITH MY MONEY) and yet they never explain why they're not contributing to this cause!!!! Granted, I firmly believe that those vendors (especially the smaller ones) should be made whole, post haste, and I have no problem with that.

However, I do have a VERY big problem with PUMAS (especially the wealthy ones) attempting to DICTATE to Senator Obama and his supporters how we should be "gracious" when Hill has barely lifted a finger to aid him since the primaries ended. What she has done to help him has barely been lukewarm, at best.

So PUMAS, my advice to you would be…it's summertime…set up several thousand lemonade stands all across the country and then give the proceeds of that to your darling candidate to settle her money issues….and remember "when life hands you a lemon, make lemonade!" Good luck with that!

Obama/08

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
". . . little headway in paying off her sizeable campaign debt." I can't believe it. If only the PUMAs would put their money where their mouths are.

Obama '08

P.S. Should Obama lose this election due to the Clinton (now McCain) supporters, a/k/a PUMAs, do you really think Clinton will be elected in 2012? Karma.

I refuse to help Hillary because she is insincere, and her followers are nothing more than a pack of wild dogs.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!………. (pardon the pun…we are talking of the Clintons)

She expected to be the Chief Executive of the most powerful, wealthiest country in the world?

Hopefully the voters of this country wise up, this is how we are to view an example to the downtrodden, underprivledged, taken advantage, Americans this woman and her rival claims to represent, and want to help.

The pooooor people that the evil right wing conspiracy swindled, played on thier fears, and then somehow has kept them from their American dream.

If the voter that supports a person that squanders money for their quest of undeserved power and self gratification, then wants someone else to pay the debt, needs to look deep into themselves as to what kind of American they are.

One who rolls their sleeves up and makes it on their own and accepts accountability , or one who whines they want someone else to give it to them because somehow they deserve it.

Then if they fail, as we all do from time to time expect someone else or the government to bail them out.

These are posers, NOT true to themselves Americans.
Painfully evident in in the "leaders" they choose.

I will not vote for obama were he to pay her debt and pich her for VP

NEVER oprabama…no to arrogant lying sexist racist flip-flopping panderers and no to his hypocrite supporters who ignore those things while complaining about them in others.

If Obama loses in November…it will be Clinton's fault….certainly not that un-inspiring old bafoon McCain. Id say let her pay her own debt and good luck winner over Obama supporters in 2012.

I was a Hillary supporter but after Super TUesday she should have dropped out and she would be out of debt and probably VP!!! Her ego got in her way.

Hard to believe. NOT!

After reading these blogs, I am more convinced than ever that the Democratic Party is hateful and mean spirited. I have been a Democrat all my life, but I have left the party to become an Independent. Reading all these hateful people posting vitriolic comments has convinced me that I have made the right decision. You people are mean and nasty, and I, for one, have no desire to belong in the same group. And you wonder why Hillary Clinton supporters will not support Senator Obama. Well, read the posts, look in the mirror, and clean your mouths out with soap. Senator Clinton really should create a viable third party. I, for one, would be the first to join. You Democrats are worse than the Republicans. You want to talk about how divisive Karl Rove is but refuse to recognize the same in yourselves. Pathetic.

Hillary wasn';t a viable candidate once we heard she was backed by the Bilderberg Group. And where are all these supporters of Hillary's ? Why aren't they getting her out of debt ? Hum–could it be its all just talk and they really don't support her

don't know why all these weathly Clinton donors are blaming Obama. Obama can not make his top donors give money to Hillary, he can only ask them. They need to put their money where their mouths are. Beside Hillary has no one to blame but herself, she should have conceded when there was no chance to get the nomination but instead she continued to rack up more debt in a hopeless cause. What happened to all her women voters, P.U.M.A. fanatics and her hard working americans in Kentucky and West Virginia. They can't donate a $1.50 a piece to their idol to get her debt paid off.

18 million vote but not a one of them will even give her even one dollar to pay off her debt. Maybe if she had given up a little sooner she would not have been so far behind. But no she had to fight the losing battle to the bitter end. Lets all hope she did not ruin it for the democrates come November!

I wouldn't worry too much about Hiliary' financial pickle. She has a history of not paying for what she owes. Just think of all the Whitewater investors that they stole from to finance Bill's presidency. The Clinton's have plenty of cash in their "charitable family trust" to retire their own debt.

I am really annoyed at Clinton and her supporters for insisting that Obama help her retire her debt. Obama has a campaign to run against John McCain. His responsibility is not cleaning up the mess that was Clinton's financially mismanaged campaign. Had Hillary Clinton won the nomination and Obama was in debt, she would not have done a thing to help Barrack. Hillary needs to tap those "18 million" supporters that she keeps throwing in Obama's face. If each of them gives her just $1.34, then we wouldn't be having this discussion.

18 million Hillary supporters, if you're so supportive, WHERE ARE YOU NOW!!!

all these angry supporters of her bash obama and his supporters…but they can't even help this debt out?! where's PUMA on this one? still claiming the "gender card" cost them this election?!

Get over it and help her out…

While Hillary supporters are being so disrespectful as to cast votes for her on the convention floor, should they not be out raising money to pay off a debt that would not have gotten that high if she had accepted her defeat earlier and got out of the race.
Where are the people of Ohio, Pa. Indiana and Ky when she really need them? Oh, I forgot they are out working hard.

So, what, are we supposed to feel sorry for her?
Hell I make <$50K a year with a $15K debt, alimony and an 18-year-old daughter to support. I wish someone would retire my debt as well.

But, guess what, I'm the only one that's gonna do that. It's called individual responsibility.

If Clinton does the right thing at the convention she will get another $25 from this Obama supporter.

Jano1234 why dont you and your followers pay 2 dollars each and help her out….. or you just another republican posing as a democrat

The Clinton's have a $100 million in their collective pockets. They don't need us or Obama to bail themselves out.

The smart move would be to pay off her debt. He's toast, hope you enjoyed nominating this empty suit?

Well maybe if the clinton supporters would stop saying their voting for mccain and saying hateful nasty things about obama the obama supporters might help her, But why should the obama supporters help HILLARY HAS DONE NOTHING ZERO TO UNITE THE PARTY!!!!!!!!!!! AND REALLY GET BEHIND OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!

Stupidity, dishonesty and irresponsibility deserve no rewards.
Nobody gets a free ride, Hillary.
Like my Mom always told me:
"You made your bed, now lay (LIE) in it"
Your true color showed up in the primaries and it was RED.

Not surprised by this.

The Clinton's are a couple whose lust for power has put them in the position where Bill Clinton can fly to Kazakhstan, say a few nice words about an investor in a uranium deal and be rewarded with $131 million.

Go ahead, google 'Clinton uranium'.

And other people should pay their bills. Sh'yeah, right.

How could all those "18 million supporters" be true HRC backers if they cann't rally around and with less than 5 dollars each retire her debt? I guess the answer is that they don't exist in reality, it was just a political statement, otherwise I do not see any reason why they cannot donate to help her out. Moreover, it was a pity that so much money was wasted to launch negative attack on Obama, else Obama supporters would have been more than willing to help if the atmosphere was friendly.
Now is unity time, let us learn from this and find a solution!

Hillary is going to have to eat her debt. We all know Obama is only about himself. Hillary is really for the people that is why she spent her own money to make it through all 50 states.

Obama will lose in November because moderate Democrats, Hillary supporters (who know she is the most qualified but disadvantaged by Obama being black and the white guilt, liberal leanings of Obama and the media), Republicans, and Independents will not vote for Obama no matter what he says. Obama was selected based on the Superdelegates not because he is qualified.

I can not bring myself to vote for Obama. If I do, then it means I accept someone who is not qualified to run the greatest country in the world. I would also be supporting an undemocratic system which is the Democratic Party.

This is the first year I will not vote for a Democrat for President. I will not vote for McCain. I will vote for HIllary in November.

I am a black female, so please do call me a racists which is what most Obama supporters call people who can not vote for Obama or they call us stupid, losers, etc. What a great way to bring people to your side…NOT!

This is just another example of all Democratic politicians. They spend more that they have then they expect someone else to pay it off. If she could, I'm sure Hillary would impose a new tax to pay off her debt.

The obnly way that I will contribute again to the Hillary Debt Relief Fund is if Barack comes to my door and personally asks me. I am waiting for all of her 18 million supporters to pony up $1 or 2 each to take care of the problem.

Senator Obama owes her nothing. If Senator Clinton has 18 millions
voters. Where are You? She need you. People get over yourself.

SHE IS NOT GOING TO BE PRESIDENT (EVER)

Go Senator Obama……

FOR EVERYBODY SAYING OBAMA NEEDS HER, AS TO'S PUBLICIST STATED, HILLARY HAS 25MILLION REASONS TO BACK BARACK. AS A MATH PROFESSIONAL, IF ALL OF HER BASE GIVE HER $2 A PIECE, SHE WILL HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY TO RETIRE HER DEBT AND STILL HAVE 11MILLION TO PLAY WITH.

I personally do not feel that Hillary has exactly been out there to help Obama close this thing up. I have no problem helping her pay off her debt when I know for sure that the tricks have all been played. I just dont trust her or what her cronies will do at the convention.

Lynn Forrester's comments about Ungraciousness are simply upside-down. Shame on CNN for giving a voice to people who blatantly spin in favor of their benefactors, despite the truth not being in their favor.

HIllary Clinton decided to stay in the race after it was clearly won to the layperson and she ratcheted up her debt like a sore looser looking to make a parting shot on her way down. Had she not wasted around $10M in spending on the last 2 weeks of her campaign she would not be in the position she is in. I suspect that had she bowed out when the public viewed her as having already lost, and acted a little more mature (without the crying tantrums race baiting, and the lowest of all, sending out her husband as a surrogate verbal hitman) then her contemporaries, and her opponents supporters people would be more willing to retire her debts for her.

Lynn Forrester's complaints reinforce the failed "I'm Entitled" theme of Hillary's campaign. I don't know about you, but when I hear stuff that can be paraphrased as "I'm entitled" or "Its my turn", and compare it to "Yes We Can"… The choice is clear.

"Obama would be a fool not to have Hillary as his V.P."

Explain.

"That is the only way he can be sure of winning"

How so?

"So, when his announcement is made , then we will know the outcome . It will be Hillary for V.P. or no Obama for President"

Why? What exactly, about Hillary Clinton, makes or breaks it for you?

To all 18 million Hillary supporters….Pay up or shut up !!!. If you love your candidate so much, $2.00 each is nothing for you to contribute to help her. Stop waiting on Obama supporters to do so when she fought him a nasty campaign and is still undermining him.

Don't you get it. She doesn't care! She and hubby have the money, but they don't care and they're cheap. they'll find someone else to pay for it.
But don't you liberals worry, they'll be back. Cockroaches are incredibly hard to eradicate.

I think this whole disconnection with the Dem Party is partially Hillary's fault for making her supporters think she actually had a chance to win.
Apparently, the math was never in her favor, no matter how much you sliced it. Even if the DNC gave Hillary all of FL & MI she still wouldn't be able to beat Obama. And that is the FACT that many people forget to understand.

Hillary never had a chance after she loss NC and barely loss IN. Obama won the election fairly and I think its a disgrace to this country to see people tear up the democractic party because people have their own political and social agendas. These so-called Hillary groups have never put one dime into her campaign debt. I think the 18 million voter thing is a sham because most of those 18 million votes are going to Obama in the Fall anyway.

My point, GROW UP !

With candidates like Obama, you don’t even have to like McCain to vote for him.

Obama wants to tax every man woman and child in the U.S. to pay $2500 to the united nations to end poverty world wide calling it the Global Poverty Act? He lives in a million dollar mansion while his half brother lives on $1 a month in Kenya.

Why don't hillary's LOYALL SUPPORTERS each kick in a dollar and we won't have to hear about the POOR MILLIONAIRE and her huge debt…caused by her EGO and refusing to admit most people can't stand the Clintons !!!

Life Long Republican here voting for Obama.

McCain is just as bad for our economy than Clinton is. This is why I haven't given her any money, why add to her ego? It was her choice to stay in the election, when she could have dropped out.

someone call a wahhhhhmbulance!

I guess her husband is gonna have to start hitting the public speaking trail hard….at the usual rate of $250,000 per appearance he can have it paid off in no time

DEBORAH, don't be a follower be a leader, I can not believe that ANY woman would belittle herself and vote for a man like that, do you really care about Sen Clinton more that you care about yourself and your rights as a woman. Or just behonest with yourself is it Sen Obama is a BLACK man, and you are using his 20 year relationship with his pastor as a comforting excuse. I don't see you using Sen Clinton years of public embarrasment and abuse by staying in a marriage, or is that one acceptable. Do your home work google all you can about Sen McCain and then ask yourself is it worth it.

I hope she gets the message, no more CLINTONS , ever!

Deborah, if you (and your fellow disenchanted Dems), want to throw away your vote… why not vote Libertarian, or Green Party? Why put it behind someone who will tear down the country even more in the next 4 yrs? Those of you Dems willing to vote McCain, are banking on the fact that a) she would run in '12 and b) that there would be any reason to run…

PUMA and Hillary supporters do not exist.

I don't think it would hurt Obama to make the effort to pay off her debts. However, I don't think he is required to.

On top of that, consider how insulting it is from Obama's side. When it was clear she had no chance of winning, instead of doing the right thing and opting to drop out, she stayed to the bitter end doing everything she could to tarnish Obama (this speaks a lot more about her personal goals than anything else.)

Meanwhile, look at how much Clinton is getting at the convention…as the loser.

Yes, I think it would be the kind and right thing for him to do for her, but it's not like she's been doing or has done anything kind or right for him.

Heck, from my own perspective, I've been labeled a sexist for not supporting her. How does that make me feel? I started out this election thinking this was Clinton's to own, but then she ran a campaign of outright superiority, went totally negative, turned about face on her general conduct, and those outrageous comments from Bill Clinton. There are reasons why I was turned off from supporting her, but rather than addressing those, I've just been labeled an ignorant, sexist pig. Just personally, I don't feel particularly behooved unto the Clintons these days…

Typical Democrat, run up the bill, want someone else pay for it. I hope she has to pay HER DEBT HERSELF with the $ 100 million she and Bill have made since they left the White House.

It is the vendors who are going to be screwed. She will not pay her bills 100 %, even though she got 100 % of the product she ordered from the vendors.

Stupid Vendors, should have gotten you money up front.

NObama either!

HRC, you have the means to pay your bills. Why not just pay your bills, make your speech next week and then go somewhere and sit down.
Enough is enough.

I'll send a dollar to Hillary Clinton when she sends me a cut of her next book deal to pay down my mortgage. Dig yourself into ridiculous amounts of debt and then pout that no one will pay your bills for you? Is that one of the "solutions for America" she was talking about?

How much you want to bet Mark Penn is behind PUMA, and he's the one encouraging faux Clinton supporters to try to get Obama's campaign money over to Hillary? It's the only way he'll get paid… for doing an absolutely terrible job, one that definitely wasn't worth $5 million.

That's the main reason I would never help Hillary pay down her debt, a big chunk of would be going to Mark Penn, who really is just a terrible human being.

I'm sick to death about hearing how Obama is not helping with Clinton's debt. Obama is trying win the Presidency. The Republicans have millions and millions at their disposal. Its up to the Clintons 18 million Clinton supporters to retire her debt. If all 18 million contributed $2.00 a piece, HIllary would have some change left over.

The Clintons are annoying and even more annoying are these PUMA/No Deal people. Go vote for McCain, but at least donate to Clinton since its all about her and something else… I rarely listen to you people because you never say anything of value; "McCain or Clinton" or "McCain '08, Clinton '12″ (like that'll EVER happen) or my personal favorite, "If no Clinton, then Nobama!" . So, I can't have a discussion with you about issues, when all you can do is spout our half issues and truths, but I guess it falls right in line with MccCain himself.

No one is gonna pay for a losing candidate - and it's not as if her 80 million remaining in her bank account breaks the Clinton household.

Why don't 18 million of her supporters send her 2 bucks each. That should do it.

For the record, If Clinton screws this election up for Barry, she can forget her run in 4 years. She will be the object of hate for many of the democratic party.

all the money the hill and bill spent could have feed e poor a lot of food, they only care about the power, it's power. and was very put down they diden't get it, they are not to proud to beg now, let them pay the what they owe from the schems they have pulled. i just wish both of the slime balls would go back to ark, get out of our lifes. poof.just go, i am so sick of both of them, obama? do you know what he would do once he is in the white house? look at detroi, look at flint mi, look at washington d c drive thru those citys look what a back man has done,

HRC, you have the means to pay your bills. Why not just pay your bills, make your speech next and then go somewhere and sit down. Enough is enough.

It's going to be Hillary for VP or it's over for Obama. Period.

She was not able to manage her home, her law firm, her marriage or her campaign. The amazing part to me is that eighteen million people were duped into believing she could run a country.

That my friends is very scary!

Vote John McCain, he is the best candidate for the job.

She continued to run long after she had no chance of winning, all the while racking up a huge dept that she now can't pay. Now…one of the big issues in this campaign is judgement. Would any of you PUMA types like to address how this demonstrates good judgement?

What I don't understand is how, if he can't give her any money that his supporters send him, Obama was supposed to do more to fix her debt? I mean, I just don't know what more he could do than ask his supporters to contribute!!

After "The One" is crowned "Emperor with no Clothes" in Denver, courtesy his $$$$millions, he'll be toast!

McCain for president - a grown-up doing a grown-up job!

Just last night I heard that there is still approximately 24% of Clinton Supporters unwilling to back Barack. By my math that's about 4.4 million people. If each one donated just $6 the debt would more than be repaid. The fact that this is not happening leaves me to believe that the number of HRC supporters still upset is lower than we think. Nice try repubs the real number will be shown on 11-4-2008.

What is also sad is that, as this article, shows she does still have supporters speaking negatively about Barack and the Convention is just next week. And these are so-called top supporters. HRC really needs to get a handle on this. Or, as I said before, it may just be those repubs trying to make us dems disheartened about our chances. But again the real numbers and real support will show on 11-4-2008.

Can't wait, let the Barack party begin.

Bill and Hill are millionaires from book deals and speeches and God knows what else Bill has been able to earn. If Obama wants to help I'd expect him to do it after the campaign, if at all. The Clintons still think they are royalty, and we should all bow to them. Truth be told, we're just not that into you Hill.

Obama actually being able to win is another issue entirely.

Why should Senator Obama's supporters pay off Senator Clinton's $5 million debt to Mark Penn, who has provided Senator McSame with his campaign strategy to attack Obama? Senator Clinton's supporters will have 8 years of the Obama administration in which to pay off her campaign debts, which were accumulated by a losing campaign strategy of tearing down Obama now so she could run again in 2012.

Where are all of her rabid supporters now? If you feel she was cheated, discriminated against, etc; the least you can do is help her retire her debt.

better yet let the grand old DNC pick up the tab . . . all this money spent by all the candidates on elections is disgusting . . . . BTW I've already given more than my $1.00 to help out . . .

Okay PUMA and all of the Women Rights activist. Here is your chance to either put up or shut up.

And she claimed to be able to balance the US Budget….geez what an indicator of failure avoided

poor management, she was not spending her money as if she was having a lavish vacation she had all that experience and also her staff , it was spent to fulfill her long cherished dream, so she has manage it on her own, wht ever the words were ready from day 1, doesn't make sense now, if you can't carry ones own financial mess what you will do for economy and rest of mess.

all politician have there own agenda and political ambition and nothing as big as President of United States, same for her.

And at the end, Clinton's are rich not like any average American, nothing big, there are not loosing any housing payment, EMI or their life style because of this.

We need to be honest about this…Senator Clinton continued to run up the bill leaving several vendors hanging and a mountain of debt when she knew long before that she would not catch up with Senator Obama. Remember the lavish partying in Puerto Rico? Her pride and lack of graciousness caused this not Senator Obama nor his supporters. How in the world can the American people trust her to run our country which is already in debt when she made the decision to not bow out graciously when she knew it was over? Senator Obama is not to blame for this and those who are truthful with themselves know this.

Since when did the winning candidate become responsible for the losing candidates debts?

The fact that he offered shows his maturity and professionalism. I would not have given the old bag anything!!

Now her supporters have the audacity to criticize Obama for not clearing here debt fast enough!

How could you guys expect her to win, she doesn't even know how to loose!

Errrrrrrrr, ummmmmmm…
I'm just askin', but does Obama have any real obligation to pay off Hillary's debt?
I've never heard of anyone doing that before, so I'm just wondering…

poor management, she was not spending her money as if she was having a lavish vacation she had all that experience and also her staff , it was spent to fulfill her long cherished dream, so she has manage it on her own, wht ever the words were ready from day 1, doesn't make sense now, if you can't carry ones own financial mess what you will do for economy and rest of mess.

Dear 18 Million Clinton Voters, get online and donate one dollar. Don't drink a coffee for one day and donate her a dollar. Then she won't be in debt anymore. I am an Obama supporter and I went to Hillary's site to donate, you should too. Let's finish it up for her so she can get back to the business of being a senator. Thanks.

If hillary's supporters are SOOO loyal they should repay it. If i donate to Obama's campaign I don't wanna see all my donation go to Clinton when I never liked her. She wouldn't have as much of this debt if she dropped out after Indiana And North Carolina had their primaries at the latest! He shouldn't have to pay for her mistakes. If I am running in a race and my only opponent brakes their leg, why should I have to pay the medical bill?

Obama has better things he should be spending our donations on right now than hillary.

I feel so bad about Hill being squeezed out of the nomination… now we have a candiate who has the audacity to say the greatest moral failing of the country is that we don't follow the admonition in Matthew "what you do for the least of these my brotheren you do it unto me", and his own real life brother is living in squalor in a shanty on one dollar a month.

What a fraud… His fraudulence.. the heir to the thrown.

Gee, I feel bad for her. I have a couple of nickels I could give her.

“He has provided her with a pittance compared to what the Clintons have given Obama,”–Wow.

Hillary has been sunk by her own narcissism and tin ear. She loves what her die-hards are saying so much she doesn't notice that they are far more vocal than numerous. However, the lack of money coming her way should have clued her in. What Clinton has never realized is that nothing would increase her intake like a stinging rejection of her little band of haters.

No Kept Man in 2008, No Clinton in 2012.

the 18 million Hillary claimed she had are the ones who should be coming to her aid. Some claim they are behind her yet, so why aren't they paying off her debt ? She stayed in the race when it was obvious she could not win & tried everything to take Obama down, now she wants him to pay her for that?? Hillary should be strongly urging the 18 million to help her out.

There are Federal laws that prevent Obama from giving his supporters campaign contributions to the any of the losing candidates. He is holding/attending nice fundraisers for her and he and Michelle have donated the maximum allowed. If she has cash on hand which is more than her debt, doesn't that wipe out her debt or is that for her next Senate run? I'll see what happens at the convention next week before I donate anything to her campaign.

I do not understand why I am being censored? I have NEVER used bad/foul language and I defy ANY censor to show me where I am wrong. I was told to moderate one post and I changed a phrase but I still didn't use bad or foul language nor will I ever.

Where you at PUMAs? Put your money where you collective mouths have been.

How can you have 18 Million die-hard supporters and still be in 'deep debt"?
Maybe she will take up a 'collection" at the convention!

It just goes to show you that all of her "18 million" voters and those PUMA idiots are really not her supporters after all. However, I can't totally blame them for bailing her out, because she ran up the bill even when it was obvious that she couldn't win. That's call being irresponsible. I wouldn’t give her a penny!

I owe about $15,000 in student loan debt. Maybe I should set up a web site pleading with people to pay it for me. Then I could live the dream like Hillary.

Why should anyone, ANYONE, give her money to pay off a failed campaign?? Hey, Hillary, YOU'RE RICH. PAY IT YOURSELF.

I refuse to send her any more money so long as she is out there promoting Obama. I will not be voting for Obama.

And people like Deborah, why don't you vote for Ralph Nader? "If Clinton is not on the ticket I am not going to vote". Who cares? Clinton and her supporters have branded Obama with so many names and now she wanted to be his number 2. What a looser.
After paying for ugly ads against Obama, you expect him to help you pay for it.
SO SAD

It doesn't matter…Obama won't win!

Is Obama for real or not? Is he a Muslim or not? Is he inexperienced or not? Did he get a sweetheart deal from Rezko or not? Is he afraid f Putin or not? Will he ask for Hillary or Biden or neither? Unfortunately in this world of ours, where there is smoke there is fire. We live in a dangerous world.

So some of the above may or may not be true, but on the other side of the coin some or all may be true.

So in my humble opinion, Obama is a risky candidate and do we want
to gamble on our country's future with a questionable leader? or do we want a proven leader.?

Why take the risk or the gamble when we have a leader in John McCain, a man, who will protect our country and our values. No gamble with John McCain.

There should be a law requiring all campaign debts be paid before a person can start a new campaign fund for another office. In other words, until these debts are settled, no new run for President.

Hillary chose to stay in the campaign even after it was impossible for her to win. Everyone with a brain told her she could not win. And she proved them right. Even doing well in the final primaries, she lost. There was no chance.

This shows what a bad leader she is. She cannot make hard choices. Like ending the campaign when it was clear the race was over. She took the wimpy route - spending money she did not have. She drove her campaign into needless debt. A mountain of it.

She ran a horrible campaign. Her people's fights over who was in charge showed she was not. The fact Bill would make the final word on whether an ad should run showed Hillary was not in charge.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why Obama should in any way be responsible for paying off the firepower that was needlessly unleashed against him. The Clintons don't seem to get that they lost, and to the victor goes the spoils.

Bill Clinton has done more to hurt Obama than help. Thankfully, his wife's campaign showed the American public doesn't care a lick about what Bill Clinton thinks.

Let them gripe all they want. The press should have more important things to cover right now than the losers in the primary. The press seems to have gotten the message with Huckabee, Romney, Edwards - save the babymama scandal, and Paul. Why don't they treat Hillary like the other losers and just ignore her?

why do you guys support the clintons. that is so gross.
people that will lie, cheat and do anything to be elected.

bill clinton and the clintons set the worst examples for our kids.
do you know how many kids in grade school were talking about
getting a lewinsky

"I never had relations with that women." hillary was right behind him with the spinning and BSing

T'SAH - not sure about other states but in New York you have to be a REGISTERED DEMOCRAT in order to vote in the democratic primary.

THATS A LIE
HILLARY HAS PLENTY OF MONEY BECAUSE 18 KILLION VOICES VOTED FOR HER AND WE ALL GIVE EVEN A DOLLAR SHE CAN'T BE POOR!

You Obama bloggers are the most hateful people I have ever come across. I & many other former Hillary supporters who read these blogs will never vote for your candidate. Keep up the hate & watch Obama's defeat.

Look if HRC has so many supporters why dont they all donate a few bucks? then voila! all of her debt will be gone!

funny thing is - her own supporters would rather push it off on someone else and blame obama for not wanting to help. yeah right - grow up! its not obamas responsibility or his problem. if she can donate millions of her own money to her campaign why cant she get out of debt?

lets be realistic people

Attention PUMA's: 18 million voters @ $1.50 should take care of it. Less if her stupid pollter ( Mark Penn) doesn't get paid. Another idea: have Bill give a few more speaches @ $50K in the next few months.

Really guys, get real… why should we pay for her bad choices?

I don't really feel sorry for her.
First of all, it was her decision to rack up this debt. If she took on this debt with no way to repay it, then she has no one to blame but herself. Neither Obama nor anyone else should feel obligated to pay it back.
Second, a month or two on the speaking circuit by Bill should pay for it. Or what about their book royalties?
Third, anyone who would loan a failing campaign money with no collateral should expect her to default on the loan. That's their stupidity.

I still say there is a chance she could pull this out. As faithful volunteers, we have decided to support McCain if she doesn't get the nomination. In addition, monst of us who have been democrat all our lives have rethought our party affiliation since it seems that our party has been hijacked by far left radicals.

I don't understand why Obama should be required to pay off Hillary's debt. It's her debt. Just like other posters have said, she should have ended her campaign run when it was obvious that she wasn't going to win the nomination. She loaned money to her own campaign against better judgement and lost. She needs to figure out how to pay it back.

It's too bad that the PUMAS are not as willing to open their wallets
as they are their mouths

I am related to many Hillary supporters who can't get over she did not win the primary… but NONE of them gave a dime before or after to her campaign…

One of my last uncles left in my family, stated without even thinking that Barack won because he was a N…. and the blacks were voting and not knowing what they were voting for..

They hold close to their hearts that Hillary will over turn things at the convention..

Not one of them realize… that they are helping McCain… they have children, grandchildren who will be in these endless wars McCain will keep going..

I will continue to work for Barack and continue that the American people will connect brain matter to their mouths and votes.

Any truth to this:

A motion was made in Philadelphia Federal Court on 8/21/08 seeking an emergency temporary restraining order prohibiting Obama from running for president, and enjoining the DNC from nominating Obama as the Democratic presidential candidate.

I've seen it on several websites.

With all the hate spewing from Hillary supporters (as well as Obama or McCain voters in disguise), party unity is not going to happen. Vote true to your hearts people. Just remember lurking out there is a world that despises the US and China which owns our insurmountable debt. I'm ashamed to tell my kids that their children & grandchildren will be paying for our stupid ways. We need change NOW.

Obama - '08

Hillary 2012………will NOT happen (next Democrat nominee), thanks to her supporters who sabotaged Obama's WIN in November.

For those of you who continue to follow this kind of thinking……I hope the you remember you are the reason you and millions others will suffer with the same negative things that will continue with jobs, healthcare, WAR(S), foreclosure of homes and this SORRY ECONOMY that will continue to follow with McBUSH 3rd term, will be affected as us, who struggle day after day waiting for the Bush administration to CARE about us who don't make 5+ million a year to be, and I quote from McBush, "Rich".

So for us want CHANGE, don't feel alone because if we suffer, they forget their vote for McBush will also make them suffer TOO!.

So WELCOME to our WORLD, WELCOME.

Obama 08………………….WE NEED A CHANGE!

Yep, and to think this Clintonista and her swashbuckling husband stayed married so she could squander that unreasonable amount of $'s and still rake in over $110,000,000.00 over the past 8 years. Yep, we all need to get on our knees and ask her highness for help in our energy and food bills. Thank God we did not adopt her "Free medical care for all" ploy.

Perhaps because most of Hillary's 18 million supporters already donated the maximum amount, they cannot legally donate any more this year. In addition, as 'bots pointed out repeatedly, her supporters are mostly poor and cannot afford to send more money…or did you forget that already? Not surprised if you did because most of the 'bots are young people who forget things about 5 minutes after they happen!

Obama stopped being a viable candidate once we all learned about his 20 year mentorship with Rev. Wright.>>

We learned about Wright a LONG time ago and Barack STILL won the nomination. Give it a rest. Send Hilary some money!

To the Obama supporters,
He's likable enough but not ready for prime time.
He went back on his word to help her but was more than willing to take from her supporters.

Jano1234 August 22nd, 2008 9:14 am ET

… and this is why we Hillary supporters should back Obama? He has done nothing to help her. He needs her; she does NOT need him. McCain 08, Hillary 2012
———————————————————————————————-

She should support him because he WON and if she's really a democrat, that's what the loser does for the winner to keep Republicans out of office. She hasn't done anything to really help him, and you can stop with the "He needs her" crap. That's a lie and his 18.5 million supporters can attest to that. He does NOT need her; crossover Republicans who have come to their senses and a LOT of independents will take care of the few Hillary idiots who don't want to vote for him.
As far as "McCain 08, Hillary 2012? Yeah, you just keep deluding yourself with THAT bull…if Obama loses, Hillary will NOT make it out of the primaries in 2012 because we Obama supporters will do to her what you want to do to Obama now. Narrowminded fool.

Time to move on.

Funny, Barack is expected to pay Hillary's debt which is essentially paying for the negative campaign ads she ran against him. Negative tactics that the Republicans are now copying from Hillary.

No thanks, Hillary's got the money to pay she just won't. How did her supporters expect Hillary to help our economy when she can't even run a campaign with fiscal responsibility? She continued to campaign, digging herself further in debt, when it was mathematically impossible for her to win. Whose fault is that. That stuborness only caused the party (and her pocket book) harm.

I love the Dems would say they will vote Repub. Either they are 1)Repubs possing as Dems, 2) Dems who are Dems if the candidate is 'white only.' or 3) Dems who werent' really Dems to begin with.
Not being ageist by any means, but a 70 yr old with obvious cancer as the face of America ,when Baby Boomers are retiring and we've just entered a new century, McCain is not the image of America I want the rest of the world to view as 'stable' 'forward moving and thinking' and 'of the future.'

“He has provided her with a pittance compared to what the Clintons have given Obama,” prominent Clinton backer Lynn Forrester told the Times of London. “Her debt could have been cleared within 10 days. It’s ungracious.”

I would like to know just what the Clintons have given Obama? I don't all her supporters (Forrester included) helping Obama and the DNC. I don't see Bill Clinton supporting Obama. He still can't bring himself to say that Obama could make a good president. I don't see Hillary trying to get her supporters (PUMA, etc) to unite and back the presumed nominee. I continue to see whining and complaining from her supporters.

Unless we see this change you can expect that Obama's supporters won't want her to get the VP spot and we won't be willing to help pay down her debt.

As for Mark Penn - I don't think any Democrat for or against Clinton feels he deserves what he he wants to be paid. Bad choice by the Clintons to use him and one they are continuing to pay for.

We wish you would be the President. We hope Obama picks you so he can be the President. You two together can win big!!!!

August 22nd, 2008 7:07 am ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Well, I've continued to give what I could just like during the primary. I thought everyone else was doing the same! This could seriously discourage any future presidential plans… America it is time to step up to the plate!

I stil say there is a chance she could pull this out. As a faithful volunteers, we have decided that we will support McCain if Hillary doesn't get the nomination. In addition, most of us have been democrats all our lives but after the way the party has done her, we have rethought our position than since it seems the party has been hijacked by blacks and far left wingers.

Obama Has Picked A Running Mate And Its Not Hillary Clinton. . . She Got A Call At 3 Am To Get The News!

Get a grip Hillary supporters. Obama doesn't need Hillary. Hillary knew in March that it was over. She kept on trying to ignore the math. She ignored the delegate math and her campaign finance math. Now she and her supporters want to take the attention off of Obama at the convention. Obama doesn't own Hillary a thing.

Yes, really–where are all the shrieking minions (male and female) screaming about their undying devotion? Ante up! Why should Obama and his supporters bail her out when she chose to spend her own money on what was already clearly a losing bid, and as she tried to take him down? Obama was almost painfully gracious to her. Alas, one cannot say the same of Clinton's comportment throughout the campaign.

And Deborah: Obama did no "Hate baiting," whatever that means. People need to think: it is self-defeating for Obama to "play the race card," as it invites the majority's racial fears and works against him. Sheesh.

Why should Obama supporters be expected to clear her debt when they never supported her decisions to create that debt to begin with?

And why don't the rabid Clinton supporters who say they will vote for McCain go complain about HIS supporters not helping. After all, they want Obama to buy their votes. Maybe they should ask McCain.

I'm so tired of their ridiculous whining and blaming.

To bad so sad…that's what greed does. She knew she had no chance at winning the primaries but remain in. "If you make your bed hard then you have to lie in it"
