Hopefully Mr. Obama or his staff plans for the future. He will need every cent he can raise for the election. Ms. Clinton is causing needless expense and may be expecting someone else to bail her out. (That is just outsider speculation at this point.)It should not be expected this time. If there are extra funds available after the election it might be another matter but for now Mr. Obama should be making preparations for the main battle.

" . . . Clinton is up for re-election in 2012."

I pray that the people of NY stop and ''THINK HARD'' before they ''automatically'' vote for HRC in light of the ''mean and nasty campaign'' she conducted during this presidential bid which, in effect, has shown the clintons LACK OF TOTAL CONCERN FOR SPLITTING THE DEM PARTY AND HURTING SEGMENTS OF THE PUBLIC, THEIR ABILITY TO LIE OVER INCONSEQUENTIAL EVENTS, AND THEIR GREEDY EGOMANICAL LUST FOR WEALTH AND POWER. The people of NY have seen first-hand "WHO" the clintons truly are, and based on this information [rather than thoughts of the clintons of the 1990s] have a more complete picture in which to form an opinion before giving their votes. Let''s hope they make the right decision before pulling that lever. Character [or lack thereof] should absolutely be a very important factor for putting trust in any official and it becomes impossible to "trust" anyone who lacks character!

WASHINGTON: Senator Barack Obama is acting as if he already has won the Democratic presidential nomination, but Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is poised, ironically, to score two of her most lopsided primary victories and possibly enhance her political clout.

I don''t understand how Obama should have any responsibility for paying off any of Hillary Clinton''s irresponsibility. She can''t raise money, and what little she has been able to raise, she can''t spend wisely, not to mention the fact that she has shown poor taste in the way she has handled no-payment of her debts owed!!!

Gee if she can''t run a campaign without running it into debt how was she expecting to run a country that is in Financial crisis? Anyone who would support a candidate like this is just not interested in what is best for the country. If she hadn''t been such an ego maniac and quit while she could still pay her debts she wouldn''t be in the trouble she is in. And I don''t think anyone should have to bail her out. She made the mistake, she and her backers ought to pay the bill.

Let her pay the whole thing off herself - she''ll make five times that amount when her book about her run for president comes out anyway.

%u201CThat is a normal thing when a candidate finishes a race and loses, the winning candidate would try to help if there''s some debt that''s been incurred,%u201D said Tad Devine, a Democratic consultant who has worked in several presidential campaigns


Yeah.... SOME debt being the key words here. I''m sure he wouldn''t mind helping with SOME debt... but we''re talking about $20+ million dollars here... and she just keeps racking up the total!!! I think it''s time for Hllary to learn a hard lesson... let her drown in her own debt!!!

I''m not sure she should expect Obama to help out if she continues to increase her debt by continuing this farce of a campaign. It might have been conceivable when the debt was "only" around 10 million $ but it''s double that now and she''s indicated she will pour even more of her own money into what''s left of her campaign. If I were Obama I wouldn''t rush to help pay her ever-increasing debt which is being incurred for really no good purpose.

If her debt is such a problem ... why is she still out there throwing good money away every day on a failed bid for the nomination? If she''s so concerned for poor people and blacks in the south and inner city folks as she''s been saying .... that money she''s still spending on the campaign trail would go a long way. Guess she doesn''t really believe it that much!

No problem, 1 million people will chip in $20 each on the internet and poof, no more debt.

If I were Barak, I wouldn''t even consider helping Hillary until AFTER the November elections, just to keep her on his leash.

If she tries to torpedo his campaign (any further than she already has), I wouldn''t give her a nickel!

What do the Clintons need that $20 million for? $89 million is not enough to live on?

Am I missing something here?

Posted by SHURCH4TRUTH at 12:48 PM : May 13, 2008

$89 million is just above poverty level for folks like "The Clintons" I''m sure they will be applying for foods stamps & section 8 housing very soon.

Eating $20 million herself is not in Hillary''s interests and the world must revolve around what is in Hillary''s interests. Otherwise she might cry again.
