Mrs. Hillary Clinton racked up a huge debt running for President in 2008. In her failing attempt, her campaign debt reached as high as $25.2 million. $24 million from her campaign was paid to Penn Schoen Berland for services and advice. Of that, she still owes $771,000.
By the end of 2008, Mrs Clinton’s campaign still owed Mr Penn’s firm $5.4 million. That is now down to $771,000, although the campaign also has nearly $624,000 in the bank.
Bill Clinton offers himself as a lottery prize to pay off Hillary’s debts
Her husband, Mr Ex-President Bill Clinton has recently come up with an idea to help pay back her debt. His plan? Reach out to Americans who have little money but would love to spend time with Mr Bill.
He has put himself up for raffle. Yes, that is right. He is selling raffle tickets at $5 a pop just to allow one person one day with him.
He is raffling himself. In an e-mail sent to millions of people who supported Hillary Clinton’s White House campaign, the former President asks: “How would you like the chance to come up to New York and spend the day with me?” For those who would like the One-Day-With-Bill prize, an online donation of as little as $5 (£3) will buy them the chance.
Bill Clinton offers himself as a lottery prize to pay off Hillary’s debts
Wow! I wish I could make that much money in one day!
Let’s do the math. He has sent out over 1 million emails letting people know about his raffle venture. Say 25% of the people send only $5 in to buy one ticket. Now multiply that out times one quarter million…250,000 people. How much do you get? $1,250,000
Mr Clinton will not only pay back his debt, but earn money!
Now why would a person do that when he had made over $109 million in 2007, seven years after leaving the White House? In 2008, Bill Clinton reportedly earned over 6 million in speaking fees.
Former President Bill Clinton earned nearly $6 million in speaking fees last year, almost all of it from foreign companies, according to financial documents filed by his wife, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Mr and Mrs Bill Clinton have either lost millions in 3 years time or they are greedy.
My guess? They are greedy and pompous to boot!
I say they pay their own debt and stop pinching people worse off.
