Donor To Bill's Foundation Helped By Legislation Enacted By Hillary

An upstate New York developer donated $100,000 to former President Bill Clinton's foundation in November 2004, around the same time that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton helped secure millions of dollars in federal assistance for the businessman's mall project.

Shocking! Politicians doing favors for people with power and money!??? I can't believe it.!

[wrensis]

Oh thank heavens, the HRC haters are back, it was so boring without them.

[nibblybits]

Calling a spade a spade isn't really hatin'; it's just pointing out the obvious.

Look, these two are corrupt. At one point, I'm sure they believed in Democratic ideals, but somewhere along the way they got lost and fell into the sway of money and influence. It's a sad tale that's been written about for ages; they aren't the first and they won't be the last.

I believe that anybody in the age of the internet who wants to go into politics, it would be better to at least start off with some cleanliness so that people can't hold those things against you in the future and make you change everything you used to believe in.

[fireW]

More like calling a spade a giraffe, abjectly declaring they're the same, and the lying & denying it all later.

[westcoastsc]

Tell me why you are so enamored with them and I will tell you why I am not. Perhaps, you can talk me down.

[MakeAWish]

The appointment of Hillary by Obama, was very disappointing . He lost his aura. I thought at the time and still do that not much will change in Washington. The same old cronyism continues on.

[Monrocsol]

His appointment of Hillary Clinton was the best part of anything Obo the jerk, has done.

He will soon fall of grace!

[wanj]

let's talk about Bush's approvals and fall from grace... puhleaz!

[nibblybits]

The sadness of your bitterness is rather laughable. Your sour grapes must be eating your insides like acid.

[Indie2008]

You just keep holding on to those positive thoughts!

[westcoastsc]

He has not truly appointed her yet. She is due for hearings and a real vetting from Kerry. I believe a deal was made. That does not bother me. I think she deserves something for the work she put in on Obama's half. What would bother me would be hearings that are contrived and do not adequately deal with the enormity of the responsibility of being SOS when everywhere they turn they always seem ready to cut a deal to their detriment. If the hearing does not deal with the fine they were charged in the findings of a certain issue they have with a man whose name rhymes with saul, then I will be truly beside myself. I welcome readers to read the things that I will say if this injustice is allowed to continue because what I will write will be of a very, very different tone. I will just say that.

[Rep0X]

Well, it should bother you...!

[johnnynyc]

Clinton released 2900 pages showing over 200,000 donors and this is the evidence of corruption?

Give me a break.

[westcoastsc]

Exactly my point. With all those donors how many more have relationships like this when it will take so very long to get through them? This is just the first scratch of looking for ore and we already found some and this is just the very beginning. Some of the stories about them here have been the most stringently moderated. Why is that? What about Mark Rich's wife giving a large donation after his pardon? What about the influences of all those governments? Hey, if they give her a real vetting, then I have no problem with Obama or Kerry, but I do have a problem with this choice because, always, when dealing with money or government, things should never appear with the objectivity of foresight of having the chance of having a conflict of interest.

[Mygirl]

Terry kind of wore me out during the primary.

[iwantpie]

Agreed, but wrong post.

[schatsie]

Just shows how CHEAP she is.. The Republican Mafia would have shaken him down for at least 10 million...

[stunsitfel]

When I read the headlines I thought someone will try to pin this on the Republicans.

Thanks, you didn't let me down. So simple.

[AnnfromCA]

Nothing much is offered to suggest wrongdoing. The Washington Post must be out of ideas.

[westcoastsc]

Ann, maybe nobody belongs in jail.

[iwantpie]

Hi, PumaAnn. Still bitter Hillary lost? Oh, maybe you should read the whole article, it the NYTimes.

Did any of the other reindeer join in to...

In February 2001, the Bush administration began an extraordinary portraiture deployment across all levels and locations of government.
Whereas in previous administrations a few pictures of the chief executive seemed to suffice, by summer we had in every agency not only pictures of the president but also glossies of the vice president and the relevant (if that's the right word) Cabinet officer. The images are not limited to reception areas; every political appointee seems to have a set, and there are thousands.
In 2003, a British colleague, stunned by the ubiquity of executive photographs in one agency we visited, remarked that he had witnessed an equivalent portrait reverence only in Saddam Hussein's Baghdad.

They're madly in love with themselves :)

[NoSillyName]

Just the first of many Clinton perks.

[hortonhearsawho2]

I see you favor umemployme­nt...

this is a surprise?

[Ted LPD]

ok corrections if not censored: What I h.a.t_e about this society now... Bill Ay_ers never goes away. Media ask what he thinks about Obama's Education Reform. Running out of sources? Everyone BO knows lingers around. Only Rev_Wright went away. Bill Clinton is around and media goes after him... No news?

US_blocks UN_resolution and we are ce_n-so-red not to talk about J-e_w_s kil_ling Pa_les_tinians. US cen_so_rship machine at work! Where are we going to...?

Am I reading these things upside down?

[westcoastsc]

Bill Ayers is a fine man. He has done much for education. Bill Clinton has strange relationships with people around the world, including those in the stories we should be hearing much more about. Bill Clinton actually passed the act which allowed the corporate monopolization of the media which is the number one reason why democracy has failed us. Hillary is up for a position that will deal directly with these events in the middle east. I don't like her politics in this area of the world. We work on good information and America is not getting anything from the media.

[rollingdivision]

Hundreds of millions in conflict of interest donations to Bill's foundation by foreign nations and foreign government controlled charities don't bother Obama one bit. So why would this?

[kay]

Hah! By how much did Cheney directly benefit from the war in Iraq? Millions? Tens of millions?

Not to mention he hired both his daughter and his son in law.

[hortonhearsawho2]

Obama beat mccain.

[westcoastsc]

Show outrage and maybe he will listen.

I'm really upset about the resolution being blocked, it's ridiculous that we can't comment.

Dump the husband asap
