2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhile her husband has been President, has Michelle Obama made millions in speaking & consulting fees
from people, countries, and companies that had business before the U.S. Government?
Bill Clinton made a boatload of money while Hillary was SOS and had business before the state dept. I just want to make sure we are comparing apples to oranges. Camp Hillary wouldn't want to be unfair to President Obama would they?
It seems to me Michelle, as First Lady, has been busy promoting worthy causes, but maybe I missed something.
Note: And both Clintons made a BOATLOAD of money after Clinton left the Dept of State.

(37,748 posts)"Seems like" is predicated on bias rather than objectivity. "Seems like" is a precursor to a wish-statement. However, as bias and wish-fulfillment are trending faults during each primary season, I suppose we have to put up with it for a while longer.
"to me, at least..."

(3,133 posts)The release game was just utter B.S.
She is more protective of her transcripts than her emails?
I'm so glad she did admit that was bad judgment. The most honest thing I've ever heard her say.
When you add that to the rest of her bad decisions, why are we even going through this with her?
I'm sick of her already, can't imagine years of this to come.
GO BERNIE!

(29,718 posts)while in office. Hillary made money as a private citizen, since you seem to be implying that she illegally made money while her husband was in office.

(2,710 posts)are just sales pitches and influence peddling. Rich people paying other rich people to talk.
And before you say I just hate rich people, let me assure you it's not true, I don't like any people, money has nothing to do with it.
