If Hillary Makes Threats On Her Way Out The Door ... This Is What Obama Should Say


The Clinton's are multi millionaires 100 times over.

It is elitist and juvenile for the Clintons to expect other people to pay their debts.

Clinton spent millions of dollars trying to destroy Obama. Why should that behavior be rewarded?

Furthermore, Hillary has the arrogance to campaign when there's no way she can win, and further accrue additional debt?

Clinton is done and needs to bounce. If she makes threats on her way out the door, Obama should send her packing and tell her,  "Let the door hit ya' where the good Lord split ya'!"

If Hillary's base starts acting up, all Obama has to say to Hillary's middle-aged white women supporters is, "Look, if you like Roe V Wade -- for you or your daughters --  and you know whats good for you, you better vote for me. Because it's history if John McCain gets in. Hear me? HISTORY!"

Obama should say to white racists, "White racists, this country was run for the last several decades by smiling white folks just like you. And those smiling white folks did not hesitate to ship millions of YOUR jobs overseas when it served their immediate interests. So if you want a job, you better vote for this Black dude. Because McCain is not giving out any jobs that I know of. Believe that shit."

Obama, Don't Turn My Financial Contribution To Your Campaign Into A Reward For Hillary's Ugly Campaign


This is an except from an article entitled, "Big Rewards Await Clinton If She Ends Campaign Now", By Thomas B. Edsall:

-----------

"..A prompt withdrawal from the contest for the Democratic nomination offers Sen. Hillary Clinton the prospect of major rewards.

One of the most inviting is the near certainty that the Obama campaign would agree to pay back the $11.4 million she has loaned her own bid, along with an estimated $10 million to $15 million in unpaid campaign expenses."
-----------------------------

As an ardent Obama supporter, this notion is absolutely ludicrous to me. (And I definitely agree with Josh's earlier post on TPM about this topic.) I have  contributed to Obama's campaign on at least four separate occasions. And it just sickens me that my hard earned money would be used to pay off Clinton's debts as a carrot to get her to stop running her race.

Bill and Hillary Clinton are multi-millionaires! And they have the latitude to make millions more after the elections are over. (Seriously,  Hilary can just write another book about her woeful bid for the presidency!) Why should regular everyday Americans have our monies siphoned into Clinton coffers? Especially after the Clintons have run such a racially polarizing, manipulative, ugly and destructive campaign?

Mr Obama, I beseech you, don't use our money to pay off Clinton's debts. If you do, it will become a MAJOR issue for some of your supporters. Let Hillary's campaign sputter itself out. If  Hillary gets ugly again, let the super delegates step in to end it. For all practical purposes, you are the presumptive nominee. If you ran your campaign on not catering to Washington's "old style" politics, then don't deign yourself to reward the Clinton's by using OUR money to pay THEIR debts. After all, the Clinton's ran up those debts trying to destroy YOUR campaign. We gave you money, in part to counter that. It is NOT your responsibility -- nor ours -- to pay them off.

Clinton Sells Wolf Tickets For Votes: Threatens To Break Up OPEC


Clinton: OPEC 'can no longer be a cartel'

Clinton's attacks on oil prices as artificially inflated, Enron-style, keep escalating, and today she appeared to threaten to break up the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries.

"We’re going to go right at OPEC," she said. "They can no longer be a cartel, a monopoly that get to gether once every couple of months" at a hotel in "some plush place in the world" to set prices, she told a crowd a volunteer fire house in Merillville.

It's a potent message, like the attack on "Wall Street money brokers," with deep roots in American politics. It's also very hard to figure out what exactly she means by the threat to break OPEC.
