Short of cash, Clinton is forced to cut spending

By PATRICK HEALY and MICHAEL LUO

New York Times

The once-formidable fund-raising machine of Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton has begun to sputter at the worst possible moment for Mrs. Clinton’s presidential campaign, Clinton advisers and donors said Thursday, with spending curtailed on political events and advertising as Mrs. Clinton seeks to compete in the last six nominating contests.

Remember the Clinton joint income for the past ten years was over $100,000,000.00.

I believe the Clintons will be just fine.

All she had to do to PROVE her economic strength and experience is keep her campaign alive financially for what??? 9 months or so. She could not even do that and there are people who thinks she can control our national budget. Yeah right!!! I have lost ALL and total respect for Hillary. After last nights comments to the AP about whites not voting for Obama has made my disgust irreversible!!! Used to be a huge Clinton fan too. But to think she is playing the race card, HER!! and at this stage of the game, is simply destructive and an insult to all Democrats. We have come to far as a nation to have a running president take us back to the days of spoken black and white divides. I am a woman, a black woman and she had my vote when I learned she would run even after hearing of this Barack guy (sentiments at the time). After seeing her true side, her lies and deception and false caring about the VOTERS of MI and FL, her tearing down the party with all this blue collar, black, white, educated, uneducated, white colar, etc... crap.....I can't deal with it.
I am DONE with her. She is harmful to the DNC and our much needed progression!!!

And it is not just me. Ever family member and peer I have, feels the exact same way. The Clintons would laugh in Baracks face if the tables were turned and would not even almost consider paying off his debt due to MISMANAGEMENT, POOR PLANNING and EGO. They would say that is what you get black man!! for trying to run against a Clinton.

So Done With The Clintons. SDWTC!!!!!!

She claims that she can manage our economy and also points out her husband balanced the Federal Budget. Yet, despite raising record funds in 2007 and early this year, she wasted millions of dollars - now she finds herself broke.

Maybe this is why she is 'in touch' with middle America. She is feeling America's economic pain.

She should pack it in, take a job as a Fox News Analyst and rebuild her campaign war chest for her 2012 run for the GOP nomination - after all they spend like drunken sailors and try to win by playing the race card. She'll fit right in.

well actually that 100 mill was over the last five or so years and some of it is bills :-)
Think she may be wondering if no one else is investing in a lost cause - why should she?

This has been a hard fought battle between two giants, Clinton and Obama, for the Democratic nomination. I give my credit to both candidates. Right now, it looks as if the battle is over.

She can't handle her finances (All that needs to be said) Respect for her??? Who can respect a woman that lets her husband publicly humiliate her over and over and she stands beside him? Do you actually want a president who will stand by what is wrong, just because of the way it will look to other people? Good Lord people, we have made mistakes voting in some presidents, but we see this one ahead of time!!! RUN........

CNN just showed Hillary's bloated, dead carcass on Wolf Blitzer's show.

No, wait! That was just a dead cow in Myanmar.

roll out the magazine cover of Mr.& Mrs. Plame, the copy should read, "D.C. outsiders support the Machine".
It was a good looking convertable.

She should have divorced Bill after she was elected to the Senate. Then a lot more women would have voted for her.

VP - who will it be folks?

Sorry Hillary it just did not work out. Time to move on. We need to unite Americans behind Obama.

We need to now focus on the grumpy old man with the bad temper that calls his wife the "C" word.

Anything that Soros is involved in is ANTI-AMERICAN! If he backs a candidate for president of the United States then he has that candidate in his back pocket. This man would distroy the Consitution of the United States to get his way, which is control by THE NEW WORLD ORDER managed by the billionairs and corporations of the world. It is prophesized that the Contitution will hang by a thread. These days are upon us.

Slow and steady wins the race...

The Tortoise and The Hare

There once was a speedy hare who bragged about how fast he could run. Tired of hearing him boast, Slow and Steady, the tortoise, challenged him to a race. All the animals in the forest gathered to watch.

Hare ran down the road for a while and then and paused to rest. He looked back at Slow and Steady and cried out, "How do you expect to win this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?"

Hare stretched himself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking, "There is plenty of time to relax."

Slow and Steady walked and walked. He never, ever stopped until he came to the finish line.

The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for Tortoise, they woke up Hare.

Hare stretched and yawned and began to run again, but it was too late. Tortoise was over the line.

After that, Hare always reminded himself, "Don't brag about your lightning pace, for Slow and Steady won the race!"
