Is the Clinton Foundation Respected?

The most recent Clinton Foundation rating from another watchdog group, CharityWatch, gives the organization a solid “A.” The group says that the foundation spent 88% of its 2014 outlays directly on programs (rather than overhead) and that it only has to spend $2 to raise $100.

CharityWatch president Daniel Borochoff, who also says the foreign fundraising criticisms made about the organization could be applied to any number of international charities.

The Clinton Foundation has a strong record. They reveal much more information about themselves than many other charities.”

Attack your opponent's strengths and turn them into liabilities. I despise GOP operatives and spinmeisters.

The attacks on the Foundation is similiar to the attacks on ACORN and we know how that was wiped into a False Scenario. Remember,the Rethugs hate poor or under privileged persons.

3. The Clinton Foundation help those in need, it is not the way of the Republicans, they do not

want anyone helped, it is a way to keep those less fortunate from enjoying a better life. This foundation has helped others and only retains around 10% to cover overhead and the rest goes to helping others. Bill Clinton has an amazing ability to negotiate with others as displayed in the reduction in drug costs, etc. He also has the ability to raise money, is respected around the world.

You can go on line and see where the money was spend in the Clinton foundation. Cheeto should also be transparent.

The Clinton Foundation has significantly expanded the availability of medications, especially for HIV/AIDS around the world. They work to combat climate change and to help the poor adapt to it.

Yet people are acting like this is one of Trump's con jobs.

Disgusting.

Have you heard one word about Trump University in the last two weeks? Anything serious questions about Trump's shady business practices since the beginning of the election? One single question about the foreign obligations that Trump has with all the loans he has from non-American banks?

I know he tried to hide the money he raised for vets in his foundation until he was forced to fork it over.
