Singing the "Clinton Blues" - Racking up the $

Camp Clinton is "singing" the Blues: "Obama will outspend us." I think it will fall ♭(flat). Here's why:

Think of the conflicts of interest Camp Clinton has. I'll just name a few. You can think of others.

Clinton
$: Bill earned a lot these last 7 years, on the strength of his
connections and name recognition. How's it gonna look when that $
is spent to elect a spouse to an office she's claiming "experience"
for? When the $ that buys her the White House was gotten by "selling"
White House connections? It's like "selling" the White House - to buy the White House.

What happened to the People's House?


It's
also a conflict of interest when a former office holder uses a spouse
to regain an office that he legally can't hold himself any longer.

And
it's a conflict of interest when a former president has a business or
foundation that profits from his "connections" and he's actively
engaged in seeking to further those connections (through his spouse)
which only feeds his business/foundation activities and influence.

Do you really want a president who has "sold" the White House to "buy" the White House?

Don't sing the Blues for the Clintons.

Sing Hope ♪♪♪♪ with Obama.

Full Disclosure: I support Obama. He's ♮ (sharp)!

Strange stuff happens with this new software!

It Takes a Village--and a Loan

TPM Election Central reports that Hillary loaned $5 million to her own campaign late last month.
