: Shout out to the MediaTakeOut.com reader (and former Hillary supporter) who sent in this email. That's some real shameless begging right there.
It's a recession lady ... ain't nobody giving you no money for your campaign...
I get emails from the Obama administration asking for money all the time. of course its not written by Michelle or Barack, but as MJoy said above me, its a campaign tactic. whoever sent this email to MTO is a retard for not knowing better and for thinking this is a legitimate email from Hillarys mother. give me a break. can we act like we have some sense? everyone is going to be looking at us hard now that we have a black president, stop being buffoons.
This is another example of someone who raised money for her campaign and did not spend it with wisdom! Had she sought Jesus for direction, she would have some money left LIKE OUR PRESIDENT OBAMA! I have heard that he even offered to help her pay her debt but she was so hostile and ornery that she refused his help. (pride goeth before a fall).
SO WHAT DO THE PRESIDENT'S MAKE.....President George W. Bush makes $400,000 per year as leader of the free world.
"Who wouldn't want to make that kind of cash?" asked Dr. Larry Jacobs who teaches politics at the University of Minnesota. He said presidents are paid well for a reason.
"If you go back to the framers of our constitution they were very concerned about bribery. You don't want a president who you've got on the cheap who can easily be bought off," said Jacobs.
No federal employee can make more than the president, so the Vice President makes $212,000 while members of congress get nearly $170,000. (Remember that Hilary was in Congress)
However, $400,000 is the president's base salary. He also gets a $50,000 expense account for job-related expenses, a $100,000 travel account and a $19,000 entertainment account.
While taxpayers cover the cost of Air Force One, the presidential helicopter, his security detail and housing, life inside the White House is not a free ride.
The president has to pay for his own personal expenses such as clothes, dry cleaning and any meals he and his family eat in their private quarters. Meals connected to his official duties are covered by taxpayers. For instance, if donuts are served at a meeting, taxpayers foot the bill. If the president wants donuts for breakfast, he pays for it.
So what about when presidents leave office? George W. Bush will get a yearly pension worth about $180,000.
Ex-first ladies get $20,000 per year, but not Hillary Clinton. She gave that up when she became a senator. Former first families also get Secret Service protection.
So, I am sure that Hillary does need 'some' money, because she is not going to get that $20,000.
To my way of thinking - she will get it paid. She had enough loyal supporters who loved her enough and if they were truly loyal - they will give her the finances.
People need to shut the hell up talking about Hillary. She can't help her damn self, she has to raise the money. And as Barack Obama's Secretary of State, she isn't gonna be able to go out and raise it on her own. He's gotten past all of the petty stuff that happened during the campaign. He's way more important and significant talk any of you talking $hit on a gossip website, so yall should get over it too
Dumb ass bastards. How many times do I have to say SHE CAN'T PAY IT OFF HERSELF!!! If the hell she could, this wouldn't even be an issue.
And how the hell are you gonna say she should have given up a long time ago?! She had people who she was fighting for just as Barack did. But you don't see that, because you're a thick-headed ass hole and are just talking about politics because a black man ran for president. I bet most of you jackasses can't name half the other people who ran for president besides your savior/God Obama and the devil/bitch Hillary. I'd be surprised if any of yall knew who Joe Biden was.
MTO, how about you donate some money to her campaign since you want to make a damn story out of it. Fire your editors to free-up some money, because they sure as hell aren't doing their jobs. You have misspelled words all over this effing site.
First off, All campaigns do this kind of fund-raising. Secondly, you only receive these emails if you're signed up with that campaign as a supporter. I received similar emails from the Obama camp on Hillary's behalf after the primary battle was resolved. Lastly, how do you suppose Pres. Obama was able to raise record-breaking funds. I'm not trying to be condescending but some of the comments I'm reading are like... well, put it this way, never comment on things you don't have full knowledge on.
It amazes me. 8 years ago, when Clinton left office, he was the most popular outgoing pres in recent history; one of the most successful presidents, etc. & so on. Some were wanting to amend the constitution so that Bill could run a 3rd time. Yall were even pressuring Hillary to run in '04. 'the i miss bill clinton' routine was delivered by every black comic talkin bush or politics during their sets. When she finally does run, Obama comes in the picture & now she's... well, why bother to finish. It would be like trying to find a pulse on a stuffed animal.
Hillary didn't run a bad campaign in '08. She and Obama BOTH garnered 18 million votes. Save Obama, she out-raised all candidates combined. Quiet as it's kept, even with Obama's $500 million raised, with the media against him, that would've meant nothing.
