If I was $10.3 Million in the hole, I would be fired..... (regardless of what it says on my resume)

I work in an industry where I have to produce... my position is vital to the well being of my company. There are other good people out there waiting to take my job if I don't produce.

Campaign cash: Obama is flush, Clinton in debt http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080421/NEWS01/80421009

1. Bbbbut she's a Clinton and Clintons know how to clean up after a Bush.

:sarcasm:

[C_U_L8R]

2. Multiply Hillary's debt by the whole country

and you have fiscal management that could make George Bush look stunningly successful.
We don't need another lousy chief executive who can't manage squat..
especially her own campaign.

[truthpusher]

3. she is a terrible manager

[truthpusher]

4. .

[Zachstar]

5. I think this is a good point.

The republicans will talk about her debt and how she can't run the country on top of putting their archives on ads 24/7.

5 million is fine but 10 million when you have little left in the warchest is very bad.

[Life Long Dem]

6. Wow! She loans herself $5 million when she was defeated on Super Tuesday.

And now this? This is some indicator of being unelectable in the general election.:nopity:

[truthpusher]

7. how bad does she want it 10m, 25m, 50m in the hole?

[2rth2pwr]

8. Many entrepenuers that have made it bet the house. You have to put it all on the line

to succeed. High risk, high reward. Hillary shows that she believes she is the right one to lead our nation.

She has faced all the naysayers from one end of the country to the other, everyone nagging at her to get out.

It would have been easy to quit, she has stuck it out and keeps fighting. The payback started last Wednesday when

she wiped the floor with Obama at the debate. Now he has chickened out of a debate in NC and he is going to

be smashed in PA. The money will come, her momentum will be unstoppable.

[cliffordu]

11. oh, I dunno

[mrJJ]

17. Wiped the floor with Obama?

ya see, its this Fantasy bullshit that inflames Obama supporters.. He conducted himself like a gentleman tho he could dissassemble the Cackler in a heartbeat, he didn't..

She is a schmaltzy, uncool whining petty complainer, intimating that HE was hooked up bigtime pals with Farakan, that HIS Pastor was scum.. Did Obama mention that when the Whiner was NOT kicking her scumbag husband (who I used to support) OUT after Bill was sticking cigars in an orifice, which would mean no more JOBS for her, that they called Wright TO the WHITE House to counsel them?

No, Obama is cool, and has at least enough class not to hand her her still beating heart..

And SHE wiped the floor with him? What arrogant mediocrity you people espouse. If I didn't feel so sorry for you all I'd offer a nice game of Poker, I'd LOVE to get any if you Hillarians in a nice card game... The gnashing of the teeth, like when you finally LOSE would be great as I took ALL your money..

Fucking Delusional, its sad, and Democrats yet!

[roguevalley]

18. what crap. I am sure the little vendors she fucked are looking at

the 'big picture' and seeing the soaring of eagle's wings, etc. Bullshit to all you said. she is a deadbeat who welshes on people. she has no shame. god forbid you pay the little people who need it and did things for you in GOOD FAITH! oh, no. not superior people. they don't have to follow the rules. Damn. That sounds like W.

[Independent-Voter]

20. Of course 98% of those that bet the house, lose the house.

I've always worked for myself, and have seen far, far more business go under from idiot moves like that than I care to admit. Only idiots, like Veruca, think that "betting the house" is a viable, sustainable strategy.

[ecstatic]

9. She keeps saying to think of this as a hiring decision

Which is unsettling to me for a variety of reasons. Reasons which I'm sure the Clintons are aware of.

[ORDem]

10. K

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

13. oh you know its' Obama's fault her campaign is in debt

he made her do it.

Oh and sexism sexism!!!

[mcctatas]

14. Have the bobble heads in the MSM been talking about

this today at all? I didn't get the chance to catch much of anything...

[CakeGrrl]

16. I haven't heard any M$M coverage, but lilke the effects of rising gas prices and foreclosures

You can't keep bad financial numbers hidden forever. Something's gotta give.

It's pretty shameless that the Clinton campaign is stiffing small businesses and universities to the point of those groups needing to enlist collection agencies while the candidate herself rolls in dough.

Obama wins the fiscal management point hand-down.

[uponit7771]

19. More proof she's a terrible manager, not even close to a leader.
