1. Why does she even want the presidency? nt

[Avalux]

2. Revenge on Bill.

She wants to be able to tell him he's not allowed in the oval office, it's HERS.

[senz]

48. I have wondered

if there's an element of competitiveness in it. If Bill hadn't run for president, perhaps Hill would be governor of Arkansas by now?

And the rest of the country would be far better off in so many ways.

[thereismore]

139. I think you are close. She's going to show him she was the better one all along.

The presidenting would be a disaster for the world, but she would be happy, if she is capable of that sentiment.

[Carolina]

209. I disagree.

She needed Bill.

She rode Bill's coat tails to power. He had the intellect (Georgetown Univ, Rhodes Scholar, Yale Law), charisma, gift of gab and natural ability to connect with people. She was smart, too (Wellesley, Yale Law) like many, many woman from Seven Sister/Ivy League schools. After law school, she went to DC to work on the Nixon impeachment committee, but her stint there did not last long because, among other reasons, she did not pass the DC bar. She, of course, tells the story that she went to work for the Children's Defense Fund (CDF) founded by Marian Wright Edelman as evidence of her advocacy for children and that's true... 30 years ago. But recall that Marian’s husband, Peter Edelman who became Bill Clinton’s Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services, resigned in protest over the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act better known as Welfare Reform because of the dire effects it would have on the poor, especially women and children. Has anyone heard from the Edelmans yet in this 2016 cycle?

Anyway, after leaving DC, what did HRC do? She ran off to Arkansas! Yes, this dynamo of feminism whom so many women from my generation say could have done anything, been anything on her own… did not go back to her native Chicago, did not go back to New England (MA, CT) where she was educated. No, she ran off to Arkansas. She chased after Bill because she recognized his rising star. He had the talent to go along with the intellect. He had earned and held leadership positions nearly all his life: high school (Boy’s State) and college (class president for 2 years, etc.). He became Governor, chaired the National Governors’ Association and finally became POTUS. It was only through him that she was introduced to the nation and even then, it was rocky because of her abrasive remarks about baking cookies. That abrasiveness and lack of people skills has not changed.

When she ran for POTUS in 2008, she cited her 20 years of experience. Really? First Lady of AK for 12 years and FLOTUS for 8 years. Oh, and she was a corporate lawyer at the Rose Law Firm where she relied heavily on the counsel of Vince Foster.

She could never have carpet bagged her way to the NY Senate seat had she not been FLOTUS. So, Hillary is nothing, and would have been nothing, without powerful men around or behind her. Her experience is largely derived from having married Bill; and her judgment when she has wielded power has been awful.

Were it not for Bill, we probably would never have heard of her!

[thereismore]

230. Bill was a genius, but I don't think how SHE is

seeing it. She is nowhere near Bill in terms of political chops.

She was never his equal, much less his better. That's why I elaborated on how she needed him. He's got (or had) the smarts and "the political chops."

256. Marian Wright Edelman is supporting HRC.

Not even gonna try to figure that one out.

[sabrina 1]

268. I agree with everything you said. And that's been true of a lot of these rich Feminists. They TALK

about women being independent but many of THEM married wealthy men allowing them to write books and make money from TALKING about feminism. While they told the rest of us to get a job, (that notion of women needing to go out and work to assert their independence rather than stay home, supplied Corporations with cheap labor as many women worked at low wage jobs)

Meantime they were being financed by rich husbands. And what did any of them do for women, other than lecture them? I remember wondering 'where is this women's movement'?

I don't think any of them would have gotten anywhere without those wealthy husbands.

As you said, we probably never would have heard of Hillary without Bill. It's too bad Bill wasnn't on the right side of the issues. He could have been a great Democratic President. Instead he pushed policies that were the antithesis of what a great Dem president would have done.

[Betty Karlson]

271. Indeed: she is a follower, not a leader.

She doesn't have the intellect to envision alternatives.

274. This is how I see her and her "illustrious" career.

The coattails and carpet bagging, especially.

Same reason as Trump. Hell, she makes MORE for one speech than we pay the president for a year!

18. Maybe to use her influence to make things better for Americans.

She has the connections...Bernie doesn't. She earns those fees because people want to hear what she has to say. Nobody is making them pay those fees. If they don't to pay don't invite her to speak.

[artislife]

52. It is being rich, it is using power in a corrupt way.

I think we all love Richard Branson.

[leftynyc]

74. And where has Hillary used

her speaking fees in a corrupt way? Just the fact you don't like her doesn't count.

[pinebox]

103. Just the fact she isn't releasing her transcipts

says it all.
If she is so clean and has nothing to hide then why isn't she being transparent?

[leftynyc]

151. Why don't you open up your email to

everyone in the world? That's what everyone should do under your scenario. And if they don't, they obviously have something to hide. Fascism sucks.

[DeGreg]

175. Just own your damn politics regardless of party...

Mrs. Hillary Clinton is pretty much a Republican, this is quite clear, and if she's your candidate, so are you. OWN your politics. I understand denial is hard to overcome, but I encourage you to look at YOUR politics FOR WHAT they really are regardless of party.
The Democrat party politics have undoubtedly moved way right and now Hillary completes the transition away from everything Democrats have stood for, so much so that she is a Republican (and maybe you too, unless you chose a different candidate).

[SCantiGOP]

186. "Clinton is pretty much a Republican"

For someone with a handful of posts you're really out to establish some credibility, aren't you?

[CoffeeCat]

188. DeGreg speaks for me. Hillary's foreign policy stances and corporate connections are all Republican

The reason that Obama beat Hillary in 2008, was because our party preferred a candidate who represented the base of the Democratic party. Obama was against the Iraq war and that fueled much of Obama's popularity.

Hillary on the other hand, was endorsed two weeks ago, by Robert Kagan, the founder of the neocon movement. Kagan was also one of her foreign-policy advisors. The neocons used to be a stain that was limited to the Republican party. Now, Hillary not only hand picks the neocon founder as one of her adviser--he endorses Hillary for President over any Republican candidate.

This is disturbing to many lifelong Democrats, including myself.

And that long list of $225,000+ speeches she gave to powerful corporate interests, speaks volumes. Money should not be corrupting our democracy in this way. Democrats were always the party that leveraged the little guy while the Republicans were off kow towing to powerful corporations.

That list of speeches is a list of her buyers. Hillary Clinton is owned..


This is the reason that Bernie out-raised Clinton in February. This is expected behavior from the Republicans, and many find it very unwelcome in our own Democratic party.

[SCantiGOP]

190. Take a deep breath

And, instead of spinning any narrative that benefits your candidate in the primary, consider whether Ted Cruz and Hillary Clinton would have similar administrations.

If you think they would be even remotely similar, then please put me of Full Ignore so we never have this conversation again.

[CoffeeCat]

199. I wasn't spinning a narrative.

I was stating facts.

Hillary was endorsed last week by the founder of the neocons, Robert Kagan.

That same Robert Kagan was one of HRC's foreign-policy advisers while she was SOS.

That is outrageous, in my book.

[SCantiGOP]

205. bye

[CoffeeCat]

263. Does this mean I'm off your Christmas card list?

As with any massive parting of the ways--I will grieve. I will grieve terribly.

I'll probably sit around the house, thinking about nothing but you for a few weeks. But that's ok.

I'll always remember the good times.

I wish you well.

[bjo59]

257. So, so well said.

[DeGreg]

265. Handful

How can there be any credibility here if the content of one's comments are judged, not for the thoughts they contain, but for the number of comments made previously.

What is the number of posts you require for....?

Ok I get it, shun the non believer or something like that, I didn't realize that's how it works here (or maybe just in your way of thinking).

I suppose if Hillary herself ventured to drop a comment here (proxies don't count), you'd apply the same thinking to anything she posted.

So, again. I'll ask people to own their politics for what they really are (I mean isn't that what Trump is forcing the GOP to do––and look at all that denial. Man, and they thought all that code was working.)

SCantiGOP, I understand, I have empathy; damn, I'd hate it too, if one day I woke up and realized I'd turned into a Republican. I venture to say that only a $250,000 speaking fee, if that's what they offered, might lessen that realization, but I doubt it.

Also, can I ask, is their some initiation I was supposed to submit to, to be here?

[BBG]

219. Right On!

Tell it brother DemocRat!

[Unknown Beatle]

216. You don't get it, do you?

She's running for president, and as such, she's campaigning to show us she's electable.

Think of it this way. We're the employers and she's a perspective employee looking for a job at our company. She's trying to sell herself to us and has only given us a partial résumé. When we ask her to give us the full résumé, she says she will when all the other perspective employees waiting in the other room release theirs. Would you hire her?

Anyway, you still consider hiring her but first you have to do a background check and you find that her history is different than what she wrote on her résumé. Her résumé is full of lies and distortions compared to her background history. Would you hire her then?

Hillary supporters would hire her in an instant, facts be damned.

We're not running for president, so the "Why don't you open up your email to everyone in the world?" doesn't stand up to the smell test. And Hillary's refusal to release her Goldman Sachs transcripts stinks to high heaven.

[840high]

252. Don't be stupid.

Where did the money in Haiti go? How is Haiti now?

Just because you support her, it doesn't make her good.

152. Go ahead an post

whatever evidence you have that money bought something. Money that went to HILLARY. Not to the Clinton foundation.

[NJCher]

182. I'm sure there are plenty of examples

Here's one: what she didn't do. Instead of holding their feet to the fire, as she should have, she simpered and pandered before these greedy vultures at Goldman Sachs. Here's what she said:

Mistakes happen. A few of you decided to take the same risks I cautioned against in the past, and failed. And, as much as I hate saying, “I told you so” the resulting crisis was enough to sour public perception on the financial services sector. It didn't seem to matter that it was a relatively few individuals within the industry who participated in this risky behavior, nor did it seem to matter that much of the ensuing crisis resulted from the financially irresponsible actions of a vast number of citizens.

I'm nauseous.

And this is just for starters.

78. LIE PATROL...

...YOU are BUSTED.

Twisting things seems to be a sport around here among Hillary supporters. In this case, you are conflating people's disgust with the current rigged system with thinking that "being rich is a crime".

But that of course is not it at all. We want a more even playing field, we want a more equitable system, we want the system to help the vast majority of people who are struggling and not just those who are already well-off. That is not at all the same thing as your twisted misrepresentation.

[liberalnarb]

164. Think being rich is a crime?

No, we just think they can pay their fair share to benefit society as a whole. You sound like a republican and their "dont punish people for being successful." argument. Never thought I'd here it coming from a "Democrat"

[leftynyc]

174. No - I'm just not poor

and play plenty of taxes already. I fully supported my taxes staying up there when Pres Obama said it was needed to help and haven't even looked into hiding my money overseas to save in taxes but just how much do you think I should have to pay? 60%, 70%? Tired of so many on DU thinking they get to decide what makes a person a Democrat. Especially since I've been fighting for progressive causes since many of you were in diapers. Go ahead an call me a republican - I stopped giving a shit about the stupid namecalling long ago.

[liberalnarb]

177. Oh boo hoo

It makes me so mad when the wealthy play the victim.

[leftynyc]

201. Yawn

After 13 years of higher education, I make a nice living - your jealousy is very unbecoming.

[liberalnarb]

208. Wow.

The ignorance in that comment is disturbing. I live a happy middle class life. I can and have had a higher education. Not everybody climb the economic ladder easily. The fact that you assumed my wealth status, and that I haven't gotten a higher education is saddening. I believe you when you say you've been fighting the Progressive fight for a long time, but it was very republican-esque of you to rub your wealth in peoples faces.

[bvar22]

193. 70% on everything beyond $500,000 ?

Sounds about right to me.
JFK set the top marginal rate at 71%.
Republican President Dwight Eisenhower set it at 90% saying that the RICH and War Profiteers should help pay down the debt.

That also "encouraged" Corporate Owners to pay themselves a smaller salary and re-invest the rest back into their companies in the form of higher wages and benefits for employees and a safer work place.

[leftynyc]

198. Make it 70% beyond $1 million

and I would support that in a heartbeat. I would also consider capital gains as income (this is why I vote Democratic - I'm not greedy scum). 90% is ridiculous on whatever number you come up with.

[kacekwl]

218. You do pay plenty of taxes because

your not rich enough to get away with paying nothing or next to nothing. You because you do the right thing should be extra outraged. These are the people we are fighting not a guy like you who is successful and make a good living . Everyone should be like you.

[Raster]

49. Ya know, I'd like to hear her speak also. But I can't afford the $225,000 cover charge...

...perhaps there are recordings - or transcripts - of Hillary speaking that are available for the general public.

Seriously, she is making the kind of coin that internationally-known motivational speakers make. What's up with that? Typically people who make this kind of money are NOT SHY about their message and what they are saying... in fact, they welcome the publicity and the chance to share their wonderful words with as many people as possible.

[gerryatwork]

143. Much better than..

...the paster' s of the "Super Churches" that make millions off of their flock the same who are likely to vote for right wing Republicans.
A lot of these corporations organize these events to reward and try to gain new customers. They hire prestigious and famous people to speak and invite their important customers and those they want to impress to these events. Similar to corporations that have luxury boxes at sporting events for their clients. Also they can reward their high producing employees with invitations. Investing $250,000 for a speaker is really pennies when you consider GS and the other corporations control billions of dollars for the people they invite. And of course they get to write off the $250m.

All this said I am a Sanders supporter for numerous reasons, not the least of which would be the millions of new people he is exciting and bringing into the party which will also help to elect more Democrats locally and to Congress. If Clinton gets the nomination I will enthusiastically support her as I believe she will be more Liberal than Bill and is one of the most qualified candidates for President in my lifetime.

[Raster]

144. If Hillary Clinton is the nominee, I will support and vote for her.

I would much prefer Sanders over Clinton. IMHO, the rivers of tainted money flowing through politics is killing our democracy. Hillary Clinton's speaking "honorariums" are just a representative symptom. And while I generally understand companies and corporations spending big bucks to impress potential customers and shareholders, my gut tells me that when it comes to Hillary Clinton, the corporations spending the big bucks are trying to impress HER, not customers nor shareholders. HER.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

81. Yeah, the Goldman Sachs Group and the Keystone Pipeline people can't get enough of what she says.

Apparently.

She must give a real barn-burner of a show

[polly7]

101. I didn't understand why she was going all around the country up here speaking on

- for one thing, 'terror!!' and how we had to be ever aware of it and ready! Those were the speeches the public was charged to get into. Like we hadn't been in the worst areas in Afghanistan from the beginning and lost our people there and the hundreds since returning taking their own lives. The others for the two big banks pushing the Keystone XL- I'd love to see the transcripts. For some reason, she wouldn't take questions on the pipeline in the public speeches.

The banks paid for the majority of her speeches up here. Of course she and they knew she'd be running for president.

[jtuck004]

We got PISSED on, but NOT so much a teeny TRICKLE!

[ebayfool]

[Carolina]

210. Make things better?

Are you serious? When has she ever made things better for anyone except herself/her family.

She was a corporate lawyer at the Rose Law Firm where her client was Walmart – that champion of women and children.

In the Senate, what did she DO? What legislation or amendments to legislation illustrate her initiative or activism on behalf of women and children. The aye votes for IWR, the Patriot Act I & II and Bush's Bankruptcy Bill sure were a big help to us all

As SOS, she was terrible. Honduras, Libya and Syria are a mess. But HRC, the consummate pro-MIC corporatist, never saw a war she didn't like. And last I checked, war is not good for women, children or men!

Her rise to power and her experience are largely derived from having married Bill; and her judgment when she has wielded power has been awful.

She is also part of the Clinton legacy (the two for one, the 8 years of experience as FLOTUS): DLC, NAFTA, Telecommunications Bill of 1996, Welfare Reform (not), and overturning Glass-Steagall, keeping Alan Greenspan at the Fed, placing the then Mr. Goldman Sucks himself Robert Reuben as head of Treasury and hiring as financial advisor that abominable Wall Streeter Larry Summers (who lost a $billion from Harvard's endowment!). The triumvirate of financial disaster for main street




So, what she has DONE that is positive or constructive? She's in it for herself, she plays sexist gender politics, she lies about her alleged record, she changes her mind with the political winds, she panders, she pads her pockets, and she is power hungry.

[TheUndecider]

224. The speaking fees are pay in advance for influence.

You're right she does have connections in high places, unfortunately shes $21 million in debt to those connections

[SammyWinstonJack]

248. If she wanted to make things better, she wouldn't be supporting fracking and calling the TPP the

gold standard so many times. And speaking for the Key Stone XL so many times on this list.

She's be speaking against it.

I'm sure she wants to make things better - but not for us American 99%'ers.

power is a real turn-on.

[BernieforPres2016]

158. I think the Clintons were always about power

But then they looked around and said we're more powerful than all of these people who have so much money, so we should have more money than they do. And I think in their eyes that makes them entitled to take as much money as they can in any way they can get it. I think they actually believe it's not corruption, it's just what they deserve for their lifetimes in "public service".

[grasswire]

173. I think it is more related to her father.

I always wondered why Hillary set herself up for such brutal punishment until I learned about her father. He was mean, rigid and punitive. I believe that she is playing out that relationship by trying to prove that she can take anything, bear anything that anyone tried to do to her. It's masochism, wrapped in a complicated father-daughter twist.

[chknltl]

192. Big $$ groomed her to the position....

... in order for Big $$ to make even more $$ off of us would be my guess. Not being deliberately mean but that was the very hunch I had when she moved to N.Y. and ran for Senate. I've seen nothing to alter that hunch from then to now. It is what our democracy has devolved to. If i can figure it out it is a safe bet Big $$ had it figured out long ago....look to what it has deliberately done to the party of Eisenhower before screaming at me for my observation.

3. Mind-blowing amount of money ...

just in speaking fees. And what a waste, considering the potential for good in even half that.

[BlueMTexpat]

5. This is something that every politician does when no longer in office.

The price is basically set based on how popular and well-known they are. http://www.forbes.com/sites/nickmorgan/2013/11/14/how-much-can-you-charge-for-speaking/#179771946c31

Hillary has been FLOTUS, a Senator from the State of New York, and US Secretary of State, along with many other laudable accomplishments. There is literally no one else in the world with these qualifications. Should her speaking fees have been less merely because she is a woman?

From the article at the link:

Professional speaking can be a highly lucrative business. Because it can be, it is also highly competitive. It’s not easy to break into the ranks of the best-paid speakers, and the expectations are very high for those who do.

Where do you fit in? I’ve posted many times about how the speaking business works and how to create a career in it. This post is about fees. How much should you charge?

The answer is complicated because of the interplay between your status – how well you’re known, how much demand there is for your speaking – the budget for the event, and a third aspect you might not have thought about: the perception of quality.
...
Or you could become a politician. A recent article detailed the fees certain politicians charge for speaking. They are substantial. Bill and Hillary are right around $200K. Al Gore is a relatively modest $100K. On the Republican side, George Bush comes in at $110K, and Dick Cheney $75K – $100K. I guess he can’t charge more than his former boss.

Some here seem so interested in trying to find a scandal where none exists that one strongly suspects KKKarl Rove is urging them on.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

6. "Everybody does it!"

Great argument there.

[Punkingal]

8. You brought up Karl Rove...it often seems like he is running Hillary's campaign.

[tk2kewl]

11. "When no longer in office"

So she should keep it that way

[Gene Debs]

23. But she wants back into office in the worst way. Did you notice she's trying to be President? Not

really what you'd call "out of office."

[BlueMTexpat]

89. Sheesh.

One is either "in" office or "out" of office.

You seem to have created a new political limbo, and especially for Hillary at that. One can never give a speech nor receive any compensation for it if there is even a remote possibility that one might run for President.

Hillary was actually reluctant to run for President in 2016. It took a very strong grassroots effort, including groups like "Ready for Hillary" - created in 2014 and NOT by Hillary - and women's groups especially to convince her to run again.

But you will continue to believe what you want to believe, whatever the facts actually are. In that, you may have more in common with climate change deniers and creationists than with Democrats.

[asjr]

142. Thank you BlueMTexpat. Your post is absolutely correct. Hillary haters

will not believe that. But let them believe what they want to believe.

[BlueMTexpat]

153. They will anyway.

[Fla Dem]

187. Yes, let them believe if it gives them solace and cools their fevered brows.

[bkkyosemite]

35. You really think that those donators did not think she would run for President.

[BlueMTexpat]

69. Ah, the "Minority Report" theory.

They shouldn't have asked her to speak nor should they have paid her - on the off chance that she might run for President again.

Yeah, you've convinced me. Not.

[MrMickeysMom]

47. Did you get those ideas from the, "I'm totally lost on what elected officials do for a living"?

They get in, they get connected, they get big fees for their coffers and they get in again? That's a credo for serfs to live by, if I've seen one.

Personally, having been an elected public servant, I never saw it that way and neither did the people I represented. Maybe that's why I don't have big bucks. I see what it costs you.

Now, if someone wants to play that game, let em. But, if they use that revolving door to "get in again", then it's a game far removed from what every day people expect them to do... unless they are cheerleaders for sustaining serfdome.

[jtuck004]

138. How much did they pay Jimmy Carter to speak while he was helping to build homes? n/t

[BlueMTexpat]

150. Nice deflection.

Jimmy Carter is IMO one of the BEST living examples of a humanitarian and a wholly decent human being. I also supported his Presidency at the time, not in some retro discovery. The radical left did not.

That said, Jimmy was defeated after his first term (four years) in 1980 and was blatantly snubbed by the political establishment for years after that. Shamefully, IMO. As such, he was not in high demand as a speaker. Hillary was FLOTUS for eight years, a NY Senator for eight years, and Secretary of State for four years. Each tenure ended in a high, not a defeat, and all have taken place more recently.

Do you not see a slight difference right there?

In the meantime, speakers' fees have risen exponentially for everyone and those who will draw the most attendees are better paid. http://uspolitics.about.com/od/presidenc1/tp/How-Much-Former-Presidents-Get-Paid-to-Speak.htm

From the link:

Former President Jimmy Carter "seldom accepts speaking fees," The Associated Press wrote in 2002, "and when he does he typically donates the proceeds to his charitable foundation." His fee for speaking about healthcare, government and politics, and retirement and aging was listed at $50,000 at one time, though.

Carter was openly critical of Ronald Reagan at one time, though, for taking $1 million for a single speech. Carter said he'd never take that much, but added quickly: "I've never been offered that much."

"That's not what I want out of life," Carter said in 1989. "We give money. We don't take it."

Neither Clinton has yet been offered $1 million to my knowledge. But there is certainly precedent for that.

[Herman4747]

260. Trouble is, Hillary is no longer a former politician...

...and indeed it was expected at the time that she got all that money that she would be returning to run for president. So if, for example, various Canadian outfits, all involved in Keystone, are paying her nearly $2 million, well the concern is what do they think they are getting.
And if a simple request for complete information about a speech is denied, then the question arises, "What is Hillary trying to hide?"
As has been pointed out by at least one other individual, it is better to find out NOW what Hillary is trying to hide, rather than to have this information come out say in August.

[JaneyVee]

7. I'll just leave this here:

http://zfacts.com/2016/02/clinton-speaking-fees/

[Surya Gayatri]

10. But, but, Janey, this is an open forum and anything Hillary-neutral is strictly "verboten".

"Over the negative din of politics, it can be hard to hear what’s positive. Hillary Clinton has given $17.6 million of her speaking fees to charity (see below). That’s 26 times as much as she made on her three Goldman Sachs speeches combined, or 50% more than she made on her 51 speeches in 2014 and 2015.

[Beowulf]

106. And that charity was the Clinton Foundation.

You left that part out.

In 2011, the State Department cleared an enormous arms deal: Led by Boeing, a consortium of American defense contractors would deliver $29 billion worth of advanced fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, despite concerns over the kingdom's troublesome human rights record. In the years before Hillary Clinton became secretary of state, Saudi Arabia had contributed $10 million to the Clinton Foundation, and just two months before the jet deal was finalized, Boeing donated $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation, according to an International Business Times investigation released Tuesday.

The Saudi transaction is just one example of nations and companies that had donated to the Clinton Foundation seeing an increase in arms deals while Hillary Clinton oversaw the State Department. IBT found that between October 2010 and September 2012, State approved $165 billion in commercial arms sales to 20 nations that had donated to the foundation, plus another $151 billion worth of Pentagon-brokered arms deals to 16 of those countries—a 143 percent increase over the same time frame under the Bush Administration. The sales boosted the military power of authoritarian regimes such as Qatar, Algeria, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman, which, like Saudi Arabia, had been criticized by the department for human rights abuses.

137. Thanks polly7

The deal you mention is just one of many deals she made as SoS and magically,
money was donated to the Clinton Foundation as a result. Pure, unadulterated graft.

[polly7]

165. You're welcome.

Those arms deals to nations currently purposefully destroying Yemen and its proud heritage - I wish some of her followers would at least consider the HRW reported war-crimes her 'donation pals' are committing. The loss and suffering those people are going through is horrendous.

[yawnmaster]

119. you can read up on the foundation's good works here...https://www.clintonfoundation.org/

183. Ask the Haitians about the Foundation's good work.

[beedle]

185. Anyone have the link to Kim Jong Il's old web site?

I want to get the facts on his bowling and golfing prowess.

[truebluegreen]

160. It's kinda like Zuckerberg (or whatever his name is)

Giving $45 Billion to Charity!...his own.

[randome]

14. From your link.

Such speakers use an agency to find and negotiate their speaking engagements, although they obviously have the last word. Hillary used at least two agencies, tinePublic Inc in Canada and the Harry Walker Agency in the US.

Goldman Sachs paid her $225k in 2013, about $10k less than her average in the list above, and the lowest fee paid in 2013.

It would be foolish to try to bribe someone with a slightly low-ball payment for services. And of course there is a far simpler explanation: She was just earning money by giving speeches. Money for her expenses (sure she lives, but she also works incredibly hard), for the campaign and for her Foundation. End of theory. We’d all love to win the lottery, and she won a decent sized lottery—the speaking-fee lottery. So she cashed in her winning ticket. Wouldn’t we all?

25. thanks so she worked cheap for her son-in-laws employer-wonder what else she'll do for them

[BlueMTexpat]

96. Thanks for the link, Janey!

Great one!!

[hamsterjill]

189. Hillary's speaking fees are in line with male counterparts.

Good for Hillary! Some people seem to have a problem with a woman expecting to be paid the same amount as a man for the same work.

[seekthetruth]

206. All I'll say is.....

Hillary supports fracking.....how does that up with your "liberal" values?

[rhett o rick]

221. She amassed about $50 million dollars in 15 years. Her priorities aren't with the 99%. nm

[pintobean]

225. Hey, buddy

How's it going?

[rhett o rick]

229. Not so good. I see the government in the hands of Big Money and some so-called Democrats

supporting it. Children are literally dying in this country because of poor nutrition and health care and some so-called Democrats don't recognize that the wealthy are not paying their share. Democrats should side with the People and not Goldman-Sachs.

[Frustratedlady]

9. Check out the payment on the Keystone XL speech. eom

[Herman4747]

53. 2 million dollars on the Keystone pipeline!!!

Is there any guarantee that she won't flip flop and support it? (We know how she loves to flip flop). If not, why are these people paying her that kind of money???

[Fuddnik]

120. I would bet money that she does.

[Raster]

54. Goodness...two in one day!

[tk2kewl]

56. another two on consecutive days

each of those trips were better than $1/2 mil hauls for hill

[beerandjesus]

90. Looks like she spent a lot of time telling them to "cut it out!"

[giftedgirl77]

12. Good for her, it's awesome that ppl are willing to pay that much

to hear her speak.

[bkkyosemite]

38. It buys influence...she was for it and then against it and will be for it again.

[giftedgirl77]

65. Oh please.

[bkkyosemite]

88. She will stop the liberal show and go right back to the centrist right...

[giftedgirl77]

135. Then she will round up all the liberals put them in FEMA Camps

& force them to eat GMO foods.

[Carolina]

211. WOW

she's not a good speaker. Bill is, but she isn't. So clearly they are paying her as a quid pro quo for when they presume she'll be POTUS.

Thank God, many can see through her, and Bernie will upset her applecart

[giftedgirl77]

217. Oh yes, you BernieBros are soooooo much smarter than us.

Let me know how that bandwagon works out for you.

[Carolina]

238. News Flash

Bernie has already upset her plans!

2016 is 2008 redux. She was simply supposed to be crowned then and now. In 2008, she had the money, she had the name, she was entitled, she was "in it to win it" and so arrogant that she claimed it would be over by Super Tuesday. But when it wasn't and she was losing (support and money), she resorted to the gutter. She praised McCain and derided Obama as someone who only gave pretty speeches. And when the Party urged her to bow out gracefully, she said that she was going to stay in the race through the CA primary because "you never know... remember Bobby Kennedy..." Her insinuation (a veiled wish?) that Obama might be assassinated like RFK was beyond classless and tasteless. It was evil (Google Keith Olbermann on that atrocity). And when she finally, gracelessly bowed out, she did so on condition that the Obama organization and DNC pay off her campaign debt. Some management skills, just like her Wall Street benefactors who f--- things up, then expect others to pay for the disaster they created.

Well here we are in 2016 and Bernie is giving her and her minions a run for their big money. BTW, birds of feather HRC, DWS, Goldman-Sucks

[giftedgirl77]

239. Awww, you go with that.

[auntpurl]

13. I have absolutely no problem

with one of the most famous, well-respected, and intelligent women in the world getting paid well to do speaking engagements.

I feel no shame about it.

[Gene Debs]

27. She's not being paid to speak. She's doing the speaking for free. The money is for favors later on.

I suspect on some level you can't admit, you already know that.

[auntpurl]

32. I know no such thing.

I know many people, personally, who command high speaking fees because they are experts, or well-recognised in their fields. They go in, they give a speech, they get paid, they leave. That's it.

I believe Hillary has integrity and will fight to enact the progressive platform she has on her website. You obviously do not. This is why we all have a vote.

[denvine]

129. You mean her platform du jour, don't you?

[auntpurl]

131. I mean the platform she has on her website.

The platform on which she is running for President.

[polly7]

50. In the world?

Where do you get your statistics?

[auntpurl]

51. You dispute that Hillary Clinton is world famous?

Ok.

[polly7]

57. Yeah ............ pretty much - and absolutely dispute she's one of the most respected. nt.

[auntpurl]

62. So, Hillary Clinton, who was First Lady of the United States

and then a Senator, and then Secretary of State, that Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton, who met with world leaders all over the globe both as FLOTUS and SOS. Hillary Clinton, who is regularly flown around the world to speak about women's issues. HILLARY CLINTON is not that well-known. Yeah, she's a regular Jane Doe.

As I said above, ok.

[polly7]

71. World leaders know many people.

The billions who aren't world leaders really don't know or care about the First Lady of the United States, no offense. Those millions whose brutal foreign policies and decisions she's made that have ruined the lives of probably don't know her name either - but I'll give you one thing - she has definitely impacted their lives in a huge way.

[auntpurl]

76. Ok. nt

[Surya Gayatri]

15. Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa...

[basselope]

16. It's great that she did so well.. but she should now be barred from public service

Due to conflict of interests.

Justices on the Supreme Court are supposed to recuse themselves from a case for less.

[tk2kewl]

43. Absolutely!

anyone arguing otherwise should be ashamed of themselves.

[Octafish]

17. You know she doesn't owe them a thing, right?

She owes them a lot of things.

[Ichingcarpenter]

60. That's a lot of transcripts to release

I don't think it would fit into an 'E' book or even on her private server.

[EndElectoral]

19. Dang, that's a lot of money.

[SoapBox]

20. Flat Broke!

That will be burned in my brain forever.

No More Clintons EVER!

[George II]

21. Hillary Clinton will still win the Democratic nomination and be elected President.

[Gene Debs]

29. And then we'll see what all that money bought.

[Shadowflash]

93. Yup.

nt

[azurnoir]

31. she might win the nomination however the rest is yet to be seen

the win depends on how many of us come to heel for her

[whatchamacallit]

97. "Our corrupt candidate will still win!"

Aren't we awesome?!?

[wyldwolf]

24. Damn! I wish someone would pay me that much to speak.

Good for those who can get it.

[giftedgirl77]

33. Exactly, damn haters.

[bkkyosemite]

64. It would be fine if she was not going to run for the highest office in the world...not fine

[Coincidence]

100. Must be a damn good speech, she should share a speech that great. nt

[DeGreg]

166. Everything for a dollar, anything for a dollar; got it thx.

[wyldwolf]

226. wife, kids, mortgage. Yup, you're welcome

[Buzz Clik]

36. You just figure this out?

Or do you just enjoy seeing the same thing posted 5 times a day for months on end?

[tomm2thumbs]

39. imagine the money she'd get offered NOT to speak

she's going about this entirely the wrong way - she could be doubling or even tripling her income!

[beachbum bob]

41. i find it funny to demonize making money.....

i'm more upset that sanders provides cover for gun industry and is supported by the NRA

[tk2kewl]

46. Bernie doesn't take money from the NRA

At least I know I can take him on his word

https://theintercept.com/2016/03/01/nra-lobbyist-will-co-host-clinton-fundraiser/

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has called her support for gun control laws a key differentiator from her opponent Bernie Sanders, who she claims isn’t tough enough on the industry. But in mid-March, a Clinton campaign fundraiser will be co-hosted by a lobbyist whose clients have included the National Rifle Association (NRA).

[WDIM]

70. Greed is a sin...

Clinton approves gun sales to murderous dictators and is also supported by the NRA.
If Clinton was serious about gun control she wouldn't of approved shipments overseas to murderers.
Her pro-war stance means big money to the gun industry. Billions every year of our tax dollars are pumped into murder machines meant only to kill other human beings. These murder machines then get shipped overseas to murderous blood thirsty dictators and who approved those shipments while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She approved more weapons sales to Dictators than Condi Rice. She is a despicable human being.

[Carolina]

240. K&R!

Her NRA protestations pale in comparison with her weapons dealings and support of war/regime change in Libya, Honduras and Syria.

My loathing of her grows daily, and there is no way in hell that I can or will support Shillary.

[panader0]

121. A D- rating from the NRA is support?

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

124. It's not "making money" that is the issue

It's how it was made. But then, you already knew that, didn't you.

[DeGreg]

180. Wow, wow, wow!

Dude,

Think about what you're saying. You gotta know that the our economy, our government economy spends trillions of our tax dollars on––wait for it––WEAPONS, WEAPONS AND MORE WEAPONS.. and that's the budget we know about..and Bernie's gun position bothers you... you're okay with Hawk Hillary (who undoubtedly has just fine relationships with many of the corporations of our wonderful Military/Industrial/Spying complex) because she pretends to care about getting guns out of citizens hands...when there's an ongoing horror show of death?

If that thinking was a dog, it don't hunt.

[senz]

45. Did she manage to fit in any pro bono work? Volunteering?

Does she have even one unselfish bone in her body?

[auntpurl]

66. She gave millions of dollars from speaking fees to charity

http://zfacts.com/2016/02/clinton-speaking-fees/

[senz]

122. To the Clinton Foundation, her power base.

Like I said, not one unselfish bone.

[BeanMusical]

127. What charity?

The Clinton Foundation?

[Surya Gayatri]

82. Hum...there IS this. Have a look, unless it would clash with your mindset:

http://zfacts.com/2016/02/clinton-speaking-fees/

"Over the negative din of politics, it can be hard to hear what’s positive. Hillary Clinton has given $17.6 million of her speaking fees to charity (see below). That’s 26 times as much as she made on her three Goldman Sachs speeches combined, or 50% more than she made on her 51 speeches in 2014 and 2015."

[senz]

133. Yup, funnels it into the Clinton Foundation, her power base and PR front.

SO unselfish.

[WDIM]

55. That level of Greed is disgusting... nt

[xloadiex]

58. I understand some of these "speeches"

She skyped in. She didn't even have to show up.

That's just what she pulled in. Add that to the bank Bullhorn Bill is probably making.

[Sivart]

59. Ridiculous.....

She is given more money for giving a speech than most americans make is three, four, five years.......

225,000 for one speech......probably less that two hours long......

And some of us work...and some of it is hard hard work......for years and years and years to make the same amount.

America....fuck yeah!!!!

[LonePirate]

61. She was not holding a public or appointed office at the time of these speeches. I see no issue here.

Or do you prefer to dictate which people and professions can or cannot run for elected offices?

[bkkyosemite]

67. And you do not think they knew she was going to run for President when they

paid her the outrageous amounts...please.

[LonePirate]

77. They offered/she charged certain fees and reached a mutual agreement.

It really is not much different than an average person paying $20 for a has been celebrity's autograph at a comic or sports convention. Sure the money is greater, but so is the profile of the speaker in this case.

I'm guessing she also gave free speeches to numerous groups over this period of time. Is there a post applauding her charitable nature for those speeches?

[tk2kewl]

72. an ethical person would disqualify themselves from holding office again

[LonePirate]

92. That's ridiculous. An ethical person would not give special favors.

It is beyond the pale to impose prior job and pay restrictions or thresholds on those seeking elected office. That sword could easily cut both ways.

[tk2kewl]

99. to claim that this is akin to "a job" is a little silly

[LonePirate]

108. She performed a repeated task on a contractual basis. That's a job.

[KansDem]

68. hmm...I don't see any unions, or teachers' organizations, or environmental groups on this list...

I wonder why?...

[PeaceNikki]

73. It's a total non-issue.

http://zfacts.com/2016/02/clinton-speaking-fees/

Over the negative din of politics, it can be hard to hear what’s positive. Hillary Clinton has given $17.6 million of her speaking fees to charity (see below). That’s 26 times as much as she made on her three Goldman Sachs speeches combined, or 50% more than she made on her 51 speeches in 2014 and 2015. Before presenting the details, let me summarize.

1) Her fees were not the least bit unusual given her stature.
2) Over 100 lesser known Americans are also in the $200,000+ category.
3) The Goldman Sachs fees were below her average fee.
4) She gave $17.6 million of her speaking fees to charity.
5) Charging Goldman Sachs less would have just meant more profits for them and less for charity.

There is simply no evidence, or logic, supporting the idea that she would sell out her whole career and deceive her huge base of supporters with a fake proposal to rein in Wall Street (a proposal that Elizabeth Warren supports). That she would do all this in return for three below-average fees from Goldman Sachs is beyond absurd.

Now take a quick look at a Talk at Golmand Sachs (GS), or at civil-rights-leader John Lewis talking with the CEO of GS, or the CEO of the NAACP or LGBT Professionals speaking at GS. Obviously GS hopes for good publicity and the speakers hope to influence GS. If you’re looking for conspiracies, this is a very silly place to look for them.

Many seem to think the highest possible legitimate speaking fee couldn’t be over $10,000, and anything higher must be a bribe. But looking at the list below, it’s obvious no one is bribing Charlie Rose, Lady Gaga or Larry the Cable Guy, or any of the other 120 people who get paid $200,000 or more per speech.

$50,000 Charlie Rose TV talk show host
$80,000 Malcolm Gladwell Author: Blink, and Outliers
$100,000+ Bill Maher Left commentator MSNBC

Some will skim this page, see it supports Hillary, and make unsupported accusations. But it is unfair to Hillary to let such false claims go unchallenged, and it is tearing the Democrats apart.

Goldman Sachs paid her $225k in 2013, about $10k less than her average in the list above, and the lowest fee paid in 2013.

It would be foolish to try to bribe someone with a slightly low-ball payment for services. And of course there is a far simpler explanation: She was just earning money by giving speeches. Money for her expenses (sure she lives, but she also works incredibly hard), for the campaign and for her Foundation. End of theory. We’d all love to win the lottery, and she won a decent sized lottery—the speaking-fee lottery. So she cashed in her winning ticket. Wouldn’t we all?

Salon’s Ultimate Moralistic Nonsense
Salon ran an op-ed headlined “Hillary Clinton’s artful smear.” The op-ed, to its credit, never suggests any smear, artful or not, by Hillary. I suppose it’s now politically correct at Salon (which writes the headlines) to bash Clinton.

Also to the op-ed’s credit, it quotes Clinton: “You will not find that I ever changed a view or a vote because of any donation I ever received,” and notes, “and there is no evidence to the contrary.” Instead, this is the op-eds’ point:

Salon: It was not nice of Hillary to take that $675,000 from Goldman Sachs, because that is “lost savings and lost homes for bilked investors.”
Really? If she’d spoken for free, GS would have donated that money to the investors they bilked? Does Salon think GS has turned into a sort of Big-Bucks Salvation Army?

OK, time for Econ 1. Corporations are for profit. Give one $100, and their profit goes up by $100. They do two things with profits. Pay them to shareholders, and use them to make more profits. That’s call cap-it-al-ism. If Hillary charges less, their shareholders get richer.

The “give it back” crowd is being idiotic. If those with money to burn pay you too much and you give it back, they just burn it for something else. The best you can do is take as much money as possible from Goldman Sachs—50 times more if you can get it—and spend that money on something better than Goldman Sachs’ shareholders would. Duh.

Clinton spends the money three ways: for her own expenses (which are high partly because she’s running for office), on her election campaign ($468,037), and on the Clinton Foundation, 89% of whose funding goes to charity (an excellent track record).

According to the Washington Post, Bill Clinton has contributed speaking fees to their foundation 73 times and Hillary Clinton 15 times. Hillary’s contributions include one address to Goldman Sachs and another to JP Morgan Chase. In total, Hillary donated something over $17.6 million. Contrary to what you may have heard, their foundation is highly efficient with only 11% overhead, and has provided $2,000 million dollars to the poor and needy.

Their foundation projects include training African farmers to get access to seeds, equipment and markets for their crops, reforestation projects in Africa and the Caribbean, renewable energy projects in island nations, and work to lower the cost of HIV/AIDS medicine and scale up pediatric AIDS treatment. And here’s a picture from Oakland (next door to me) from the Clinton Foundation’s “Too Small to Fail” project.

[tk2kewl]

83. if you say so

I guess I'll take her word for it that we “will not find that I ever changed a view or a vote because of any donation I ever received.” Frankly, I'd rather not find out.

And I don't care one bit if some of the money is donated to their mega foundation. Such "charities" are a symptom of a sick system. They take money from entities that are destroying the world, providing tax breaks and insider deals to their benefactors, while repairing a small portion of the damage done by working on some "popular" causes.

[PeaceNikki]

84. Their foundation is highly efficient with only 11% overhead, and has provided $2,000 million dollars

to the poor and needy.

[PeaceNikki]

91. Not some. 26 times as much as she made on her three Goldman Sachs speeches combined

50% more than she made on her 51 speeches in 2014 and 2015.

[vdogg]

128. Beautiful

Don't expect anyone in this thread to care though. Must not disrupt the "Hillary is teh evil" meme. Can't wait until this season is over and we can focus on electing dems and get rid of those with other motives.

[PeaceNikki]

136. I know. The cult of personality "fan" or "foe" shit is divisive nonsense.

I am a Hillary supporter, not "fan". She's not Phish, she's a politician.

I don't think she's perfect. I understand she has vulnerabilities and I freely admit she makes gaffes. But I still support her. Not blindly. In fact, I do so with my eyes wide open. There are frankly very few (ok, one) politicians with whom I am in total or near agreement.

I support both of our candidates and will proudly vote for the nominee in November. But I am not a "fan" of either.

I am a fan of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. And the Violent Femmes (who have a new album out, by the way!)

And these speeches, like so much of what either does or says, are being totally blown out of ridiculous proportion.

[rhett o rick]

212. The money comes with strings. Quid pro quo. Goldman-Sachs see it as an "investment

that will be repaid 100 times over. No matter how much she gave to "charity" (most likely her personal foundation), getting tax write -offs, she and Bill still pocketed over $150,000,000 in 15 years (that's a cool $10 million a year).

Tell me you think she will support reversing the growing wealth gap.

[PeaceNikki]

215. I know, just look at all of the stuff Larry the Cable Guy and Gaga did for them in return.

She gave them a speech in exchange for the money. That's how it works.

[rhett o rick]

231. Those that side with the Big Money feel glib that their candidate has the Big Money

backers, the Corporations, the billionaires, and the Wall Street crooks. The growing wealth gap is stealing resources we need to help those that have lost their jobs, homes, retirements, and education opportunities, do to the wealthy vultures. The greater Goldman-Sachs profits are, the more children go to bed hungry. Why would Democrats support Goldman-Sachs unless they worship the wealthy.

[FailureToCommunicate]

75. That list doesn't seem to show a lot of Hillary paying 'attention to African American concerns'

at least in the several years of that listing.

[PeaceNikki]

The last paragraph is the one you're looking for.

[SFnomad]

80. Shame on anyone who finds this acceptable in a politician?

During that period of time she was NOT a politician. She was just a citizen, no matter how much you want to think differently.

She left her post as SoS on 2/1/2013 and declared her candidacy for President on 4/12/2015. ALL of those speaking fees were between those dates.

[tk2kewl]

85. She is now...

I can change the OP title to "Shame on anyone who finds this acceptable in a presidential candidate" if that makes you feel better

[SFnomad]

87. Re: I can change the OP title ...

She wasn't a Presidential candidate at the time either ... strike two.

[tk2kewl]

95. shame on you for finding it acceptable...

that any presidential candidate would have taken this much money from industry ever. .period.eom.

[SFnomad]

102. Shame on you

She was NOT a Presidential candidate at the time. To say otherwise is disingenuous, to say the least.

Strike three.

[tk2kewl]

111. I didn't say "otherwise"

I said reasonable people should be ashamed to suppor a presidential candidate that takes that much money from the corporatocracy, regardless of whether on not it was during a brief 2 year hiatus from public service.

Your umpiring is seriously lacking.

[truebluegreen]

232. You don't think she's been playing the long game?

Hillary has been working to get back in the White House since she left it. Senator was a stepping stone. Then she ran for prez, and lost. SoS was a holding station and another stepping stone. She is not running again; she was always running.

It is obvious, painfully so. And obvious to Goldman Sachs et al as well. Hillarians always seem to miss it though.

[SFnomad]

237. You'd think it was a right wingnut website around here

The arguments may be made in nicer words here, but they're the same arguments both here and there.

Why is it that you people give HRC the title of power hungry, but someone like Sanders, who has been in Congress since before Bill was President, you would never think of calling him that?

[truebluegreen]

241. I dunno, because he isn't?

Because he doesn't just say whatever his audience wants to hear? Because he's been saying the same things, and working for the same goals, all through his public life and even before he was in public life?

And since you care about words so much, don't put any in my mouth. This "people" didn't "give Hillary the title of power hungry". I said she's been running for president for years, and she has. What motivates her is an open question. Do you see the difference?

[SFnomad]

244. Don't put word in your mouth?

You said:

Hillary has been working to get back in the White House since she left it.

Like I said, you said it in nicer words, but you just said she's power hungry.

Bernie started off as mayor, became a Congressperson and is now a Senator. Isn't that stepping stoning his way to the top? Isn't that power hungry? I hate to break it to you, but anyone that thinks they can be President of the United States has a thirst for power. Of course, your candidate is different ... but then again, everyone believes their candidate is "different".

[truebluegreen]

259. Um, no.

She could be running for President to prove she's just as good/competent/consequential as Bill. She could be running for President to prove something about women. She could be running for President because she wants to do Great Things for People. She could be running for President because she's power hungry. She could even be running for President because it makes her happy to live in the White House and ride on Air Force One (seems to have been Dimson's principal motivation but who knows).

I said she has been running for years; what her motivation is I have no idea. Neither do you. And I find it astonishing that you don't see the difference between starting off as mayor of a relatively small town in a backwater state as opposed to STARTING OUT running to be one of 100 Senators in a country of 300,000,000 people, and from New York State no less. Yeah, totally the same.

Thanks for playing.

[billhicks76]

272. Lol

Because she is and he isn't. It's plain as day. It matters not if the republicans agree. It's the truth either way. We don't select nominees based on how much the idiot right wing likes or hates them. Yes republicans hate her. But criticizing her doesn't make us republicans and that's an insult. Would you say we shouldn't criticize Joe Lieberman too? She is like a clone of him.

[polly7]

86. She knew she was going to run for president. To think otherwise isn't even realistic. nt.

[SFnomad]

94. Re: She knew she was going to run for president.

So what?

You're now holding her to a standard that I've never heard anyone else ever being held to.

[polly7]

104. Taking millions from corporations that are killing the planet and destroying

the economy and the middle-class, health 'providers' that exclude millions from receiving basic health-care, etc. etc. etc. while preparing to run for office - what do you think they expect in return?

[SFnomad]

109. So now you're accusing a quid pro quo

Do you have ANY evidence to back up your accusation? Or is this just another thing to throw against the wall, hoping it will stick?

[polly7]

110. Well, just basic common sense.

[SFnomad]

115. So the answer is ...

No, you don't have any evidence.

Thanks

[polly7]

118. The evidence is in the OP.

Coming to a conclusion as to what it says doesn't take anything more than basic common sense.

[FlaGranny]

276. In addition -

does anyone think that she would have been invited over and over again and paid such fees if those corporations didn't like what she had to say?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

98. $21million in investments to buy a major collaborator.

“The abuse of buying and selling votes crept in and money began to play an important part in determining elections. Later on, this process of corruption spread in the law courts and to the army, and finally, when even the sword became enslaved by the power of gold, the republic was subjected to the rule of emperors.” —Plutarch

[tularetom]

105. Transcripts? We don't need no steenking transcripts

Seriously, the simple fact that she made $21 million giving speeches in just three years tells me everything I need to know.

They didn't pay her that kind of money because of her oratorical skills, her charismatic personality or her insight into current events. She has none of the first two and very little of the third. No, they invite her and pay her because she's famous for being famous, and because she has tailored her message (and probably faked her accent) to fit the venue.

We all know what's in those speeches. Those people hope they are buying influence. And she has signaled that she is selling what they pay for.

Its legalized bribery and the Clintons have raised it to an art form.

[Carolina]

243. WOW!

You nailed it:

They didn't pay her that kind of money because of her oratorical skills, her charismatic personality or her insight into current events. She has none of the first two and very little of the third

So well, so succinctly phrased. If you don't mind, I will be borrowing those two simple, yet beautiful sentences to counter all the pro-Hillary BS I encounter daily ... especially among women my age who just want to see a woman POTUS in their lifetime.

[pinebox]

107. The new Hillary theme song!

[HillareeeHillaraah]

114. Question to those Bernin'....

From a practical standpoint, and I ask this earnestly: how will Senator Sanders fund a general election campaign against the Republicans when it's estimated to cost over a billion dollars?

I think Sanders is a fine Senator who should stay in the senate.

[Fast Walker 52]

130. same way he's been funded so far

[HillareeeHillaraah]

141. To the extent that ....

Republicans have had a hand in keeping his campaign financed so they might run against him, well I think that source may just dry up. I think it would be politically naive to believe they haven't had at least some involvement. Y'know, "hope for the best, assume the worst."

It would have been interesting to see him navigate a general when no one else is playing by his self-imposed rules.

[Orrex]

157. So.... He'll top out at a tiny fraction of what the GOP will raise?

I don't quite see how that's a winning strategy.

[Fast Walker 52]

123. it is, quite frankly, disgusting

[Fast Walker 52]

125. and she's really not that good of a speaker...

she's not BAD, but she's not that good.

[AtheistCrusader]

132. We'd be outraged if it was Bush II.

156. Ed Schultz actually defended this yesterday even though he supports Bernie

Ed is all for anybody raking in whatever they can, just as he would.

[AzDar]

159. So greedy and corrupt.

[BREMPRO]

162. what could she possibly have to say in a "speech" that was worth a quarter million dollars an hour??

i can't think of any other reason but expected quid pro quo from a position of power and influence for these corporations/institutions.. any other???

[Yavin4]

163. "American Camping Association", "Let's Talk Entertainment", "Cardiovascular Research Foundation"

Yes, they are all evil corps.



Please.

[polly7]

167. It would take a very stupid person to limit their speechmaking to only those

who expect something in return while knowing you're going to run for office. I don't think she's stupid at all - she's very wise.

[Yavin4]

171. What will Keystone say if she doesn't do the pipeline?

Can't get their money back.

[tk2kewl]

172. i'm sure she can find a way to make it up to them

[Yavin4]

181. Or not. What incentive does she have?

If she becomes president, she can make money in a multi-tude of ways. Won't need their pipeline money.

[Raster]

196. Absolutely! Then she'll be able to use the powers and perks of her elected office...

...to fill the Clinton coffers. She and Bill will no longer need the "auspices" of the Clinton Foundation to solicit "donations." They'll be able to print bank name, routing number and account number right on the White House stationary.

[Cavallo]

249. What would make you think she wouldn't do it?

[mountain grammy]

169. She makes more on one speech than the president makes in a year..

$400,000 from the Jewish United Fund??? Israel?

We can't afford Hillary. Will she charge for every speech she gives as president?

[kgnu_fan]

170. totally bought out....

[LanternWaste]

176. What then is the specific rate that should be charged?

What then is the specific rate that should be charged for speaking engagements, and from what objective measure is that number based?

[DrBulldog]

178. Agree. Unfortunately, that shame will spread over a wide swath of . . .

. . . African-Americans and the elderly.

And that is VERY sad.

[Jefferson23]

184. Recommend. n/t

[mhatrw]

191. Did she give the Keystone Pipeline folks a refund? nt

[Raster]

194. And of course all of these little "chats" were just chocked full of Hillarian anecdotes....

...about her years in the White House. No campaigning, no electioneering, no pandering, no promising, just good old fashioned motivational speaking.

[oasis]

195. I would turn down a second presidential term and go back on the circuit.

But Hillary will likely choose to continue her service to the country.

[warrprayer]

200. Kick

And rec

[Carolina]

202. K&R

[Enthusiast]

203. Kicked and recommended! This should receive hundreds of recommendations. nt

[timlot]

207. Resume...

First lady of Arkansas for 10 years
First lady of the United States for 8 years
Senator of New York for 7 years
Secretary of State for 4 years

I would think year speaking fees would be at upper end of the spectrum.

213. Shame On Me

OK, she got paid a LOT to speak. Shame on me. It doesn't bother me.

220. There's a great Bernie ad in here somewhere

While this list scrolls slowly in the background, show Bernie giving a speech about money in politics. Not sure whether it'd be better to use audio or video of him - I'll let his PR team decide.

222. She's a Republican, plain and simple

and her followers are in no way any different than those who supported Bush in 2000 and 2004. They agree on just about everything. There's no hope for the Party Establishment. If Bernie doesn't come through with a win, it will go down in our (very short future) history as one of the most corrupt organizations in American politics.

227. Hillary serves BIG BANKS and CORPORATIONS not US.

You can't expect a corrupt person to take on corruption.

BERNIE IS fit US the middle and working class.

228. She's been a busy girl!

233. access!

To those that aren't ashamed by this, are okay with it. Well, the reality is those with the money to line the politicians pockets will get more access than those without that money. That's just black and white, it's the truth. Politicians that take this money will be, have to be, influenced by it, that is just the reality. Clinton unfortunately is bought and paid for, she is, it's okay, just own it, she's a product of the system, she is a centrist right corporate democrat. She is not a "progressive." I believe the moral "progressive" stance on this issue, is not to take this money to define your political stance. That's the moral thing to do, the right thing to do. I guess the same people that are okay with this are also okay with obfuscated truth, well, I'm burnt out as hell over obfuscated truth. So be okay, with your candidate for who she is, the facts are the facts, if you are okay with this, fine, go vote for her, more power to you. But the reality of her being a progressive will never be actual reality. Just like her at the debate knowingly undercut Sanders position on the auto bailout. What's the truth and what you are ok with, well that's your call right? But don't say these speeches along with her obfuscation on facts, that everyone else don't see these things for what they are. Anyways, thanks OP great post.

247. Great post

and welcome to DU

I, too, am "burnt out as hell over obfuscated truth..." along with a party that has abandoned the principles and legacies of FDR, JFK and LBJ (minus Vietnam)!

254. Thanks

And thanks, I've yet to use a smiley so will now.

255. .+10

262. right on the money!

pun intended

[SusanCalvin]

234. I almost feel sorry for her. (Not quite.)

I'm sure she never in a million years thought she'd get called on this. Times have changed.

235. The corporate gravy train is the old status quo

Americans want to get rid of. Those still swimming in the gravy don't want it to stop, so the breaks have to be applied externally, by the people. These people will not stop lying, taking bribes, or bite the hands that feed them. Thinking otherwise is extremely naive to be kind.

242. It's a SHONDA!!!!

[Cavallo]

245. It's possible that a way to give money to candidates is call it a fee for speaking. Just saying.

post deleted. I'm not going to guess things.

Watermark disturbs me because I know a bit what it is. I turned down a job for there because I didn't want to work for the super rich even on a team keeping their networks up in my area - which is what my position was to be. They cater to keeping the super rich happy and invisible. They're supposed to be able to travel around like a watermark so you don't know they're there. I was told what I was being hired for and declined and got a weird response for declining. I mean they didn't do anything to me, they just acted like I was some enemy or something. I'm too liberal democrat to want to work for companies directly catering the super rich.

[ozone_man]

258. She's a corporate spokeswoman.

Is that who we want to run the country? We can do better.

[Skeeter Barnes]

261. $250k per hour is fine for Hill and Bill. $600k per year is fine for Chelsea.

But Hill says $15 per hour is too much for me and you!

[Feeling the Bern]

264. Shhh. . .this makes HRC people feel hurt. You will be alerted.

Sad how she and her supporters and axe polishers have resorted to Atwater tactics and Rovian logic to win a nomination.

But she is for the people! Orwell's Doublespeak from 1984 would be proud.

[SciDude]

267. It's disgusting and amazing how over-the-top these bribes are!

American Oligarchy at its finest.

[Uncle Joe]

269. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, tk2kewl.

[raouldukelives]

273. Apparently reprimanding people pays well. nt

[bhikkhu]

275. Speaking fees are nearly a non-issue

I will vote for her in the general if she wins the primary, with some confidence that she is very competent and trusted by the business community. Recalling the idiots running things during the bush years, that's not a bad thing.
