As the conference call was underway, Obama press secretary Bill Burton sent out an email memo that can only be described as an atomic second strike: Among the charges are that NRG Energy corp. – the first corporation in the US to apply for a new nuclear power plant license since the 1979 Three Mile Island nuclear accident in Pennsylvania – gave $10,000, through its PAC, to Senator Clinton in 2007 and – here’s a whopper - the corporation donated $175 million dollars to the Clinton Global Initiative of former president Bill Clinton.

2. You need to put "Reagan" in your title if you want more views.

That is the #1 most important issue to voters right now.

8. I note the poster takes time to respond to you but then runs and hides from a serious question

4. So, you think their donation to

a good cause (Clinton Global Initiative) should be turned down?

"President Bill Clinton launched the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) in 2005 as a non-partisan catalyst for action, bringing together a community of global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

As a non-profit, 501(c)(3) endeavor of the William J. Clinton Foundation, CGI draws strength from a highly diverse membership base that represents the full spectrum of political, ideological, religious, ethnic, and geographic backgrounds. Members include current and former heads of state, top business executives, preeminent scholars, and representatives of key non-governmental organizations working together for a common cause."

7. Oh give me a break! You think they did not expect something in return????

It is amazing how blind some people can be when it comes to alternative means of moving $$$ to a politician's 'pet cause' in exchange for future favors.

Do you think that the hundreds of millions of $$$ that have been donated by corporations to the various Presidential Libraries was just altruistic? Really, do you think those donors were just acting as 'good citizens' and looking for nothing in return?

Well that might be the case if those donations were a matter of public identification, but Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II, saw to it that those who made the huge donations were allowed to remain anonymous.

Does that bother you?

10. They just want good government.

15. All kinds of corporations and industries

contribute to charitable causes. Do you really think the charities are going to refuse money because they don't like the industry? Why does any business contribute money to a cause?

[Blackhatjack]

16. Why does any business contribute money to a charitable cause SECRETLY? Hmmm???

THe Presidential Library contribution scheme is a giant slush fund.

[BlackVelvet04]

18. We weren't discussing the presidential libraries.....

why are you changing the subject?

[Blackhatjack]

19. Why won't you answer the question? Why are they contributing SECRETLY?

[BlackVelvet04]

20. You need to give me some examples of what you are talking about.

I can't read your mind and you are changing the subject.

6. And how much has Edwards taken?

Zero.

I doubt Obama is clean on this one either.

12. Obama is dead wrong on nuclear

although lately he has tried to obfiscate his true pro nuclear position.If this guy gets in watch out.

9. Well well well..........

As the conference call was underway, Obama press secretary Bill Burton sent out an email memo that can only be described as an atomic second strike: Among the charges are that NRG Energy corp. – the first corporation in the US to apply for a new nuclear power plant license since the 1979 Three Mile Island nuclear accident in Pennsylvania – gave $10,000, through its PAC, to Senator Clinton in 2007 and – here’s a whopper - the corporation donated $175 million dollars to the Clinton Global Initiative of former president Bill Clinton.

That Clinton Global Intitiative sure does get around. I have to check it to see if it got any money from the hotels that stole the beachfront property from the tsunami victims. That's for the tip!

11. AHA! So THAT's what "agnostic" on nuclear energy means -- highest bidder!

[Rageneau]

13. More lies from liars who hate the Clintons.

Unless there is a source other than this PAC's own oficial one, there is no record of NRG Energy Group's PAC giving one red cent to Hillary. See for yourself:

And as for any money they may have donated to the Clinton Global Initiative, how in the wide world of sports can anyone but a 40-foot-wingspan wingnut see anything wrong with an ex-president using his influence to try to raise funds from all SORTS of corporations, in hopes of reducing world poverty and hunger?

Bush administration types feel that they have to be against anything Clinton was for. So, since Clinton is for allieviating world suffering, the Bush Administration has to be for PROMOTING it, and they're doing quite a job.

14. "Caught taking" $175 million...

Without even researching this, I can say that $175 million does not go unnoticed so it could not be anything the Clintons were trying to hide and inadvertently got "caught taking."

17. IP'er loves sensationalist dwadle--then runs away-also called her a lier but will not say why.
