Hilary says she and bill were "dead broke"

after leaving the white house. and the republicans are supposed to be the people out of touch with the common man? She bought a $2.5 mil house shortly after bill left office.

I assume she means they had no cash/savings. Still had cash flow beyond that of the vast majority of people, though. I don't think she is in touch, and find it hilarious that the RNC thinks that they are more so in touch. No one in a position of power in this country is going to be able to really understand most Americans these days.

 

oh i fully believe they are all out of touch. anyone who has been in politics for at least a decade has to be out of touch. just living in washington itself is a bubble. difference is the democrats all like to talk about how they are in touch with the middle class and fighting for them. hell it's the only thing i ever hear biden talk about.

 

I have an extremely hard time believing they weren't very well off any which way you could look at it. If, somehow, they weren't I'd say that's a pretty damning statement about financial management abilities.

 

That $2.5 million came from all the things they lifted out of the White House on their way out.

 

Bush, Sr had never heard of and was amazed by a bar code scanner. No politician is in touch.

 

Considering that while in the CIA, similar things were likely used for processing IDs, equipment, etc, I doubt he had really never heard of one.

 

He's a good actor if his surprise wasn't genuine.

 

Could have been surprised they were in civilian hands. Or maybe he was so high up he never had to scan a badge, doors were always open.

sign me up for dead broke then

 

****ing lawyers.

 

Gotta write that memoir. "Living Misery- the Cal fan's story"

 

I wish someone would pay me to have someone else write something about me.

 

not sure if something that depressing could be a best seller.

 

Right after getting a friend to sign for your 1.75 million dollar home? American dream.

 

i find it hard to believe that no bank would give her and the president a loan. in particular in those days. very hard to believe actually. i'd be intererested to see if she paid back that loan.

 

I seem to recall some story shortly after Bill got out of office where he stopped by an ATM to get a cash withdrawal, somehow the person with him got the receipt, and he had over $1M in his checking account.

 

C-u-n-t, IMO

 

hillary: bill, we are being evicted from the white house in 1 month and our accountant just called to say that not only are we broke, but that we are massivly in debt. what are we going to do?!?!?!
bill: well, that's what i've been sitting here contemplating. basically, I'm just going to walk the earth.
hillary: what'cha mean, "walk the earth"
bill: you know, like caine in kung fu: walk from place to place, meet people, get into adventures.
hillary: and how long do you intend to walk the earth?
bill: until God puts me where he wants me to be.
hillary: and what if he don't do that?
bill: if it takes forever, then i'll walk forever.
hillary: so you decided to be a bum?
bill: i'll just be bill, hillary; no more, no less.
hillary: no, bill. you've decided to be a bum. just like those pieces of shit out there who beg for change, sleep in garbage bins and eat what i throw away. they got a name for that, bill: it's called "a bum". and without a job, a residence or legal tender, that's exactly what you're going to be: a ****ing bum.
bill: look, hill, this is just where you and i differ.
hillary: bill, look, what happened these last 9 years, i agree, it was peculiar. but water into wine, i...
bill: all shapes and sizes, hillary.
hillary: don't ****ing talk to me like that, man.
bill: if my answers frighten you, then you should cease asking scary questions.
hillary: [pauses, looking annoyed] i'm gonna take a shit.
