Rochester doctor Terry Bennett has finally been paid by the Clinton campaign for rental of a Portsmouth building he owns. Now, he says he will donate the $500 check to Barack Obama’s campaign.

He said he’s doing it because he likes Obama, but also as a statement on the way he feels he was treated by the staff of the Clinton campaign.

Clinton campaign doesn't pay, others sayLandlord: Clinton staff stiffed me on rent ‘It was the last straw for Hillary Clinton for me,” said Bennett.

Bennett said he believes the only reason the Clinton campaign paid for renting his 236 Union St. storefront is because he became the “squeaky wheel,” contacting the Herald last week in frustration because he had not been paid for more than a month.

“Thirty days went by, with no replies to phone calls, e-mails, no replies at all. Suddenly a newspaper article comes out. It was the worst publicity they could get. Three days go by and I get a check,” said Bennett.

5. Flames are almost always just Claims!!!

Let them flame that's all they have. Counter with substance and reason... all they are left with are ad hominems and claims(without data, evidence, or reason).

4. Not a wise move on the Clinton campaign's part

a campaign is all about PR--to get good PR, you pay your bills on time. And you always respond to messages.

9. Kick. This is not the kind of management we need for America.

I can't believe Hillary is trying to run on competence.

I hope HRC pays some more of her landlords -- so they can also contribute to Obama.
