Hillary Clinton spoke at two separate Goldman Sachs events on the evenings of Thursday, October 24 and Tuesday, October 29. Clinton’s fee is $200,000.00 per 30 minute speech, meaning she netted $400,000 for her paid gigs at Goldman.

Keeping close to the investment world, Clinton also made paid visits to private-equity firms KKR in July and the Carlyle Group in September. At KKR’s annual investor meeting in California, Clinton answered questions from firm co-founder Henry Kravis on the Middle East, Washington, and politics. Her fees for the visit was said to be over $700,000.00.

You know I'm going to go out on a limb and bet Hillary's 30 minutes of financial wisdom wasn't really worth $200,000.00, I'm betting it was thinly veiled bribe money that will reap 100X's return from tax payers for those financial companies.

RealTool is suggesting that bankers are corrupt?

But I thought you could trust the morals of the private sector.

Now you're confusing me.
Should everything be turned over to the private sector or not?

To be fair, Clownhicker knows every one of his brain cells -- 12, to be exact -- personally.

Thus, he is easily confused.

Expensive tickets to ride on the Bill and Hillary wagon. First class for sure.

A hundred years politicians like her would have been tarred and feathered than ran out of town, now corruption in politics is the accepted norm.

Hillary is not going away anytime soon. It just came out that the Demos were actually considering replacing Joe with Hillary for Barry's second term when his numbers dipped. All this was a top secret among the powers that be and even a poll was conducted to see if an Obama/Hillary ticket would work. When it showed there was no difference in the numbers, the idea was dropped. It is said Obama knew nothing about what the Demos were planning, but hell a President ain't worth a fuck if he doesn't know what his Party is doing. He knew.
It wouldn't surprise me if she's on the ticket next time around.
