Wow.
This just shows Bill Clinton is nothing more than an elitist liberal snob.
Think of all the poor, homeless, and uninsured that money could help.
Instead it goes to support the lifestyle of a womanizing adulterer.

rowdy, i really think something is wrong with folks like you. Mr Obama has run one of the most, stress free, backstabbing free, venom free, well organized and respectful campaign that this country has ever seen. He has limited his attacks to the facts, or retaliation(sp) for those launched against him. He has offered the American people a chance for something different , he has been honest and candid about his feelings about race in this country, and has done exceptionally well in not aligning himself with any group who may consider having him in their pocket. He has stood aside and let Hillarity and bill run their mouths, sling mud, lie and whatever else they do and has not joined in. Yet day after day, these posts come in about his long list of lies. Now you are talking about somebody he knows is a child molester??? Get over it fool, somebody YOU know is also a child molester! But I digress, I do not hold him accountable for the behaviour of the thousands and thousands of people he must know at this point. Stop trying to tear down a decent black man.. You are always saying that there are none.. Well here''s one... and While folks out here are jumping up and down and having fits because there is a black man with a real chance to lead this country he is leading a revolution, face it,this is a chance for racism of ALL colors to be killed off once and for all. Dont fight it.

Bill Clinton got paid the big bucks doing speeches at his NAFTA companies. This is the same man that had the Supreme court and his home state DISBARR him from practicing Law.... Now he''s the Big Cahoo-na blabing his B/S in small towns. Must of got thrown out of the big ones. I can not beleive how short public memory is. This is the same man and woman that originated and passed NAFTA and lied that this was a greatest thing for America!!!! We have lost more jobs in America because of NAFTA than we could even imagine. Now, Hillery doesn''t like it (she held close door meetings) before in total support of NAFTA. The Clinton Fortune now is nothing to what the Great companies are going to pay and pay them for the Anti-American NAFTA .These Two don''t give a *** about the Pee-ons in America and you just think there wonderful. Lets vote them back into office so they can complete the distruction of the American people and their jobs.

Although I have to admit that if Obama''s campaign is paying Bill Clinton to sabotage his wife''s campaign, what with him reviving the Bosnia "mis-speak", and saying that when you''re 60 and it''s 11 o''clock at night, you forget things, and the stealing cars reference, they are definitely getting their money''s worth!

Rowdy, you''re getting a bit desparate if you are contending that Obama''s campaign is behind this. Did you read the article? "The figures come from congressional reports studying the presidential retirement program and from summaries of annual budget requests by the U.S. General Services Administration, which administers the program."
In the words of that great orator, Bill Clinton, "Chill out!"

Are any of Bill Clinton''s office expenses, phone bills etc. (those that are being paid for by taxpayers) actually campaign related? If so, I object as a taxpayer to paying them, and I believe someone should sue to have all such funds returned to the U. S. Govt.

Bill Clinton made the following statement at the end of comments about Barack Obama:

"Next we will see him run an ad saying "vote for me I dont steal cars"

Is this a reflection of some sort of racial stereotype that Bill has?

Obama on small-town PA: Clinging religion, guns, xenophobia
Drudge Report

Mayhill Fowler has more from Obama''''s remarks at a San Francisco fundraiser Sunday, and they include an attempt to explain the resentment in small-town Pennsylvania that won''''t be appreciated by some of the people whose votes Obama''''s seeking:

You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing''''s replaced them...And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.

And it''''s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren''''t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
That''''s a pretty broad list of things to explain with job loss.

This S.O.B. needs to be censored by the Congress for his blantant Racist, Bigoted Commentaries. There is obviously a lot more cream in this "Oreo".

It''s not like Michelle Obama got a 200K raise after Barack became a Senator and pushed through some earmark for her "Non profit" hospital,...Wake up people!!

How is this Obamas fault? I dont see him listed in this article. And this just shows Hillary Clinton and her family love to milk whatever they can dry. They dont care about the Middle class. Its all about them. They TAKE From the Middle Class and the Lower Class, for their purposes.

Not Obamas fault, but dont look for him to behave any differently if he is ex-prez. Because of his youth, Obama is probably rubbing his hands together expecting how long he will be able to suck at the public ***!
