2. Funny but true

I remember reading that Bernie was the only candidate in either party to pay Iowa for the costs of police overtime during the caucus. A small thing maybe, but he always demonstrates class and integrity.

3. Image ...... for those that need it.... and her 2008 campaign

After the 2008 campaign she shorted a lot of people, towns and governments

From Daily Kos.



We've all heard the stories about Hillary Clinton's debt. The small businesses left to pick up the tab after Clinton came, saw and left an unpaid invoice.

Let's talk about the other folks she's stiffed.

The school districts, universities, cities, towns and non-profits.

From Hillary Clinton's February FEC filing that can be found here these are the numbers:

Clinton owes a total of $19,627.20 to 14 school districts with an average debt of $1401.94. The largest amount, $4411.05, is owed to Winnacunnet Cooperative School District in Hampton, New Hampshire.

She owes 7 colleges and universities a total of $19,983.48 with an average debt of $2854.78. The largest amount is owed to the athletic department of Southern New Hampshire University. She owes them $9542.80.

She owes 11 cities and towns a total of $13,184.63 with an average debt of $1198.60. She owes the town of Hampton, New Hampshire the most with a debt of $4628.96. (Hampton, NH gets hit twice.)

Lastly she owes the Boys and Girls Clubs of Sioux City and Blackhawk County Iowa a total of $1,625.00 with $1000 of that owed to the Boys and Girls Club of Blackhawk County.

It's bad enough that she owes these folks at all but also notice who she owes the most to.

Institutions in freaking Iowa and New Hampshire.

Hillary's new campaign ad in North Carolina says to ask her questions. Okay I'll bite.

You raised $35 million dollars in February. You couldn't take time out of celebrating that to have someone write a check for a couple of hundred bucks to pay off an existing debt to a school district or town for a service provided a month before?

How can you expect to be entrusted to run any level of government when you show such disrespect towards the funds it needs to function?

Hillary Clinton spent yesterday in Beverly Hills at a fundraiser. Look for Mark Penn and the other snake oil salesmen running her campaign to be paid before these people will.

Back to that question of what matters to her...

9. Well when Bill and her left the white house

They had to return furniture they took

Political Fact

Federal rules strictly limit gifts for nearly every member of the executive branch, but the exceptions include the president and vice president. They may accept gifts, due to the needs of protocol and etiquette. There are some limits, but for the most part, if you want to show your appreciation for the occupant of the White House, you can. This courtesy extends to the entire first family -- and, importantly for this fact-check, if they want to keep those gifts when they leave, they can.

The president must report gifts over a certain value; during most of the Clinton years, the amount was $250, though today it is $350. When Bill Clinton completed his term, he submitted a final disclosure form that listed roughly $190,000 in gifts.

Clinton’s itemized list caught the eye of the Washington Post and provided plenty of fodder for the curious. People gave the president a notable quantity of golf clubs. Movie star Sylvester Stallone gave him a pair of boxing gloves. Filmmaker Steven Spielberg sent him china. And one Steve Mittman from New York gave him two sofas, an easy chair and ottoman worth $19,900.

The problem was, Mittman and a few others included on the list said they never intended their gifts to go to the Clintons. They thought they were donating to the White House itself as part a major remodeling project in 1993.

Within about two weeks of the publication of the Post article, public criticism escalated, and the Clintons announced that they would pay the government nearly $86,000 for items that were actually government property. A few days after that, they also returned about $48,000 worth of furniture (including the sofas, chair and ottoman from Mittman).

Add that up and the government got back $134,000 out of the $190,000 the Clinton’s had declared as gifts. But as an indication of how hard it is to determine ownership, the National Park Service, which oversees the White House property, later returned a chair and an ottoman to the Clintons.
