Question: Why Is Obama Supposedly Helping A Multi-Millionaire Family Pay Off Debts?


Maybe it's because he's such a nice guy, but I don't think so. Obama on Tuesday asked his finance team to help Clinton pay back at least $10 million from her failed presidential campaign, setting the stage for joint appearances by the two former rivals later in the week. The former first lady reported a $22.5 million debt at the end of May, more than half of which was a personal loan to her presidential campaign.
I think the answer to my own question is that Obama is using his supporters $$, not his $$, to buy the votes of people he thinks love Hillary so much that there's a good chance he might not get their votes unless he (although it's not really his $$) helps a multi-millionaire family pay off debts that they could pay off themselves. Do we really think the Clintons are struggling because of Hillary's debts from a stupid campaign? Bill makes approximately $200,000 PER SPEECH At that rate, if Bill would get to work, he would only need to make 112.5 speeches to pay off their debt. He could have it paid off in less than a year. But isn't it easier to find someone else to bail you out? Ask the people who are begging the federal government to pay off their stupid real estate moves with our tax dollars.

Definitely vote buying, but I'm confused--on the news tonight BO had sent an email to his supporters to raise money for her debt, and then she met with her biggest supporters to give BO some coin - hmmm. As I understand half her debt is to vendors along the campaign trail that haven't been paid. In Fla if I do pics of a politician, by law it has to be paid on delivery so this doesn't happen
