Considering the fact when they exited the White House the house in NY was their biggest asset, the Clintons have done well for themselves. Now I wonder if the media will have a field day with this like they have with John Edwards assets. We will see if it is equal opportunity reporting, or if it goes away.

So when they speak to their audience, should they prove they are talking to Americans who make less than $100k/yr, which is about 95% of us, and not those who make more?

Both sides say a lot of truths. Both sides say a lot of lies. It's politics; especially the latter. However, if either candidate can show just how much of the last 6 months' worth of tax cuts has positively affected our paychecks, that person would get my vote. And unlike most Americans, I don't mind a complex answer.

Puh-leeeze--i'm no fan of " Hil" ..but she's done far more to have "earned" her money

Right. Like setting up a faux foundation for tax evasion......take in 5 mil, give out 1.25 mil.

Or maybe her loser husband, hound doggie Bill, running around giving speeches over in Saudi Arabia - sailing his country down the river.....sort of like he did when he occupied the white house.

Or maybe taking $500 thou a year from a company that bilks the elderly and the infirmed.

They "earned" it alright.

By the way, I gave a little money to the Clinton defense fund and feel in no way ripped-off. He was much better for my family and the country than the Chimp. Also, Clinton has earned his money based on his own performance/actions - unlike GW who was born 'successful', bailed out of two bankruptcies, and landed a job at the T-Rangers because his daddy called an old friend...
