Obama Purchased Hillary's "Victory" in West Virginia.
Well, we now know that the Clintons are at least $20 Million in debt. And that debt just swelled in order for her to pull off her "victory" in West Virgina.

And who will the Clintons look to to pay back their debt? You got it! Senator Barack Obama.

Consider the irony tonight. Let it turn over in your minds:

Barack Obama purchased Hillary's face-saving victory tonight.

He'll pick up the tab for her continued march to nowhere.

Of course, paying that tab takes away from funds that he'll need against John McCain.

But he'll keep picking up the tab that they keep running up. Pretty big of the man that she accused of just being a good speech maker. Pretty big indeed.

1. He can't pay it.
He can only ask his donors to donate to her, or host joint fund raising with the disclosure that she receives part of the proceeds.

3. Where does this ridiculous rumor come from?
Is it just some red meat the Obama supporters dangle in front of their loyal flock to keep them enraged?

She hasn't asked, never will.

4.  Can someone explain to me why the general thought is
that Obama will pay her debt. Maybe is she walked away gracefully now but later why would he be obligated to do so.

5. Why are you making stuff up?
When did anyone in the Obama campaign say they were going 'pay the debts' of the Clintons?

Hillary and Bill make over $110 million dollars since he has left the White House. They can afford to eat the $20 million. Or more likely, they will stiff those they owe money to.

6. because it's what they do
they lie. They lie about big things and small things. They make shit up. They invent scenarios that haven't happened and lie about those.

They're liars.

7. He better not give her a dime of his donors' $$$
I didn't donate to him for it to go to Hillary. If I wanted to give her $$$ I would have done it myself.

10. I hope her supporters send her a couple of dollars tonight.
I would give her website, but I'm sure she will remind her supporters several times tonight.

:D

14. How will he pick up her tab?
:shrug:

As far as I know, he can give her $2,000 and then hold fund raisers for her, or ask his supporters to donate directly to her. Other than that, she's on her own.

15. You gotta list your sources when you say something like that
That kind of wild speculation has been going on but no decision has been made as far as I know. It is ridiculous to go putting up a thread headline and then give us no sources.
