Clinton's speech problem

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/miles-mogulescu/clintonss-200000-an-hour_b_9069720.html

The millions of dollars in personal payments Wall Street and other business interests have paid to the Clintons at least raise questions about how serious Hillary's promises to reign in Wall Street should be taken by voters.

And even Democratic voters who otherwise prefer Hillary should worry about what bombshell remarks from her secretive Wall Street speeches might be released by Republican dirty-tricksters during the general election campaign, if she's the nominee, and help put Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, or another right-wing Republican in the White House.

Art Garfunkel told CNN that he and Paul Simon allowed Bernie Sanders to use their song "America" in a campaign commercial because of Hillary's speaking fees.

So I ask again, what does $250,000 an hour from a Wall Street bank buy from a politician?

If it's not special access, the ability of Wall Street lobbyists to help write financial legislation and regulations, and the avoidance of criminal prosecution, both past and future, then banks' shareholders haven't been getting their money's worth and should fire their $20 million a year billionaire CEOs who've been paying millions of dollars to the Clintons.

Help me with what I heard

Did Clinton just say "the truth and that's what you will get from now till I am elected President"
So after she is elected she is going to lie to us again? I mean that is what she said so fair to quote it right?

From the mind of my 17 year old son!

Why is it I have a right to an attorney and if I can't afford it one will be appointed to me, but they don't do the same with a doctor? - Matt

He is drumming up his high school friends that can to vote Bernie

So I went to the Trump rally here in Tulsa

It was a surreal experience, I am a people watcher and there was plenty to see. I was pissed when I heard Palin blame her son's violent outburst on his military service and got some looks from folks but that was bullshit. I am a disabled vet for those who don't know so I have real experience with friends with PTSD and true vets will never use it as an excuse.

Then came Trump ok I have heard the speech many times nothing new except he wants to throw Berghgdal out of a plane then carpet bomb him. I have mixed feelings about hearing that but alas that is a little too extreme.

To sum it up can't wait for Bernie to crush Trumps hopes and dreams. I want to taste his tears if that's not too much.

Hoping our Saliors are safe

Tonight reports are coming in of 10 U.S. Navy personal being held by Iranian Republic guard. Their gunboats drifted on to Farsi island in the Gulf after mechanical issues. Thankfully Secretary Kerry is already working on bringing them home safely.
