As long as it is money, it doesn't matter where it comes from! Lots of Dems are switching over to that train of thought lately. Money money money, it's a gas.

Very nice insight into the mind of a possible President.

Bullshit meter goes off because when she did the Sachs for $$$s, the Clinton's were multimillionaires. Anywhere from 50 to 100 million - and that may only be Bill's number.

So I call bullshit. Poor multimillionaire Clintons need Sachs money so bad, they need it, but for what - what is the deal?

She should be ashamed to talk like she was some minimum wage mom with 3 kids and same amount of jobs. That's disgusting.
