Let’s quickly recap the weird history of the Clintons and Barack Obama. Bill Clinton was the first black president, and then Hillary Clinton was going to be the second black president. Barack Obama came along and decided he should be the second/first black president, and Hillary Clinton spent millions and millions of dollars running against him. After she dropped out of the race, she campaigned tirelessly for the same person she had campaigned against, maybe sorta kinda hoping he would help with her campaign debt, but nope, Obama and his people aren’t helping at all. This is just a “mild annoyance” for her, that he won’t help her raise nearly $8 million she still owes to Mark Penn.
[A] half-dozen Clinton insiders told Politico they are disappointed that Obama’s vaunted fundraising operation hasn’t reciprocated by planning new events or an Internet campaign to help Clinton pay off the $7.9 million she owes to vendors. (Clinton has already written off the $13 million she loaned the campaign during the primaries, aides say).
“I don’t think there’s a whole lot of hard feelings, it’s more like mild annoyance,” said a former Clinton aide on condition of anonymity. “There’s just not a lot of expectation they are going to lift a finger for us.”
Added another longtime Clinton adviser: “She killed herself for them, did a hundred events, went anywhere they pointed – so it’s disappointing they aren’t helping… But it’s not a big deal at this point.”
You can tell that all these anonymous Clinton advisors are all MOTHERS, because that is such a mom thing to say: she nearly died for you but now you cannot trouble yourself to do this one weensy thing for her, that is fine, she is just mildly disappointed, go enjoy yourself while she suffers. Hillary Clinton will just be over there, in the poorhouse, snuggled under a rat-chewed blanket while Obama has his fancy inaugural ball.
Obama-Clinton soap opera takes new turn [Politico]
Also, he never calls.
Hahahaha, suck it, Hilz…Hopey “68′d” you, where you do him, and he owes you one later. After you make him a sandwich.
Oh swell! More Barack Obama News! I was wondering what happened since the election.
Meanwhile, I’ve been making art! Yes, art! Waste 10 sexy minutes here: http://homepage.mac.com/mistahcoughdrop/
I’d be more than willing to lift a finger for Hillary. Guess which one?
You’ll understand once you have your own children.
…why doesn’t she establish the “First National Bank of Sore Losers” and apply for some bail-out money?
How much did the last two months of her campaign cost?
…or she can take a page out of Sara Failin’s book and charge it all to an Obama campaign surrogates expense account/credit card?
Maybe she can incorporate as a commercial bank and get some of that $700 bil. Everyone else is doing it.
So typical, Hillary is up until 3:00 AM figuring out how to pay the bills meanwhile Obama is too busy to help because he has to move his new pretty family into their big fancy new house.
Maybe she should “Xerox” some “Change”.
I think Hopey should just cut her a check. Why not? Or offer Hillsbury T-Shirts on the Hopey site. That’s what I’d do if I were Hopey.
Maybe she should write a tell-all book about how her campaign imploded. Instant $10M.
She’s been crying and playing Jimi Hendrix’s “Are you experienced?” for 2½ months.
Can’t Obama give her some inagural ball tickets to scalp?
OH, and by the way, Barry O has not even moved into the Casa Blanca yet, can Hillz let him get settled before she hits him up for money?
Off topic-
I live in Richmond Virginia, capital of the confederacy, and on election night all the kids came streaming out of the dorms near Virginia Commonwealth University, shutting down the main drag of Richmond.
Police came out, but only found it neccasary to redirect traffic around the spontaneous hopegasm.
After hugging and shouting and screaming, the kids marched 9 blocks down the road, to the state capital, and sang “God Bless America”.
Rich people voted for a guy who is going to increase taxes on them.
Sorry to lose the snark, but it’s a new day.
No more torture, no more lies, way way fewer no bid contracts.
Just wait til the day that Hopey takes office, there are people LINED UP to rat out as much of the chain of command as they can about domestic phone taps and tourture and general malfeaseance.
Obama should have Hillz be made Attorney General and Grand Inquisitor, and be put in charge of the war crimes trials.
Since no one else will say it, Nina Hartley’s portrayal of Hillary was among the greatest acheivments of her career, certainly one of the finest performances captured by a Hustler production.

“She killed herself for them”
Our new Muslin Overlord demands hari-kari!
Um, hasn’t she been getting paid speaking fees for appearing at Obama events? I always assumed that that was the reason why she was eager to help him, and that the Obama campaign preferred to funnel money to her in that manner. Just as the corporations that were helped out by the Clinton Whitehouse funneled money to him after he left office by hiring him at exorbitant rates to give hour long lectures on “leadership” or whatever else he wanted to talk about while they cut him the check.
Obama’s got expenses, like retiring the debt of people who didn’t sandbag him constantly and extra fancy food pellets for his pet monkey Tata. He can’t get bogged down handing out fail-dollars for the old lady who served up every attack on a tee for McSecond Place. Besides Americans need their money to burn in piles for warmth. Winter is here and paying Mark Penn’s campaign bill doesn’t ward off frostbite.

Maybe the Hillary campaign should charge the McCain campaign for borrowing all their material on Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright, “bitter”, presumptuous, celebrity, talking with our enemies, etc., because nearly the entire McCain campaign was the Hillary Campaign with the Republican add-ons.
After expecting the White House to be handed to her on a platter as her rightful inheritance and attempting to sabotage the primary process, she now takes umbrage that her opponent won’t compensate her for her own poor judgment and provide her with reparations.
Thanks to Hillary, I realize that the reason I am marginally employed, marginally housed, and totally bitter is because I haven’t been working hard enough on my irrational sense of entitlement. I also need to cultivate anonymous sources for petulant press leaks.
If Hillz is so distraught over going from super rich to just rich, why doesn’t she STFU and get back into the cattle futures game since we all know what a whiz she is there.
You think Hillz bitter now, wait until Michelle boots her inauguration dress out of the Smithsonian & replaces it with a picture of the Obama’s new dog.
Sorry, Hillz. You decided to keep up with your impossible campaign when we all knew you had no chance in hell of getting the Nomination and ran up millions of dollars of campaign debt, thus creating angry bitter Nobama she-men, and encouraging WALNUTS! to pick Caribou Barbie for his running mate. You only campaigned for Barry b/c you knew you’d be political toast if you didn’t and b/c you wanted some of that sweet sweet Hope money. Thanks for campaigning, but it was your responsibility to figure out a way to get money out of the Nobama bitterz. Maybe the PUMA hags could have given the money they spent on their sad loser efforts to protest Barry to you. I mean, Hillz, you’re alright and all, but stop hatin’ on Barry b/c you’ll always lose.
Maybe, just maybe, Hillary, Obama actually read that Newsweek article and is just a tad peeved about all the nastiness you said behind closed doors. It’s one thing to attack him just because you really want to be the nominee. It is entirely another to actually believe, in your heart, he isn’t worth it, and doesn’t have a shot. Are you a believer now?
If Mark Penn starves to death, it will be on Hopey’s head.
As soon as I read this in the NY Times, I rushed, rushed I say, here to see it emblazoned as a headline, but alas it hasn’t been yet.
Sarah Palin: “Ms. Palin directed most of her media criticism at liberal bloggers, whom she twice called, “those bloggers in their parents’ basement just talkin’ garbage.””
But maybe we have to wait until they get back to their basements.

legion of hopemongers suffering hippie death virus one week after Obama victory.
I didn’t contribute to Obama back in the day to have that money go to that witch.
Fur cryin’ out loud, put her in charge of the White House travel office already.
Dear Hilz,
Surely you can find money from kids willing to sell their Xbox 360s, the 18 million cracks int he glass ceiling and the hundreds of post menopausal PUMAs (I see you, you dried up old Hag Harriet) who fought for John McCain? Or what about your uber supporter, the self processed twit Lady De La Rothschild? She has a few million she can toss your way?
Now you understand what Mamet meant when he wrote: “Coffee is for closers.”
And no, I’m not calling you Shirely.
Deepest Regards,
MC
well i’m not sure massive deficit spending on useless shit like ill fated wars/campaigns is something to be encouraged, no matter what President Stupid says. props to president hopey for not drinking the stupid juice.
HILLARY IS TOO BIG TO FAIL.
Bailout!
Not_So_Much:
After gazing on a photo of Penn, it will a long time before that happens (probably during Hopey’s 2nd term.)
She and Bill have over a hundred million dollars, sure those small vendors don’t expect to be paid off.
Besides, she could have had the money, or the big show at the convention. She wanted the show, she got what she wanted.

TaxWallStreet: That’s very nice, but I was sort of comforted by seeing my enemies driven before me, and hearing the screams of their women and children.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27655039/
don’t forget to give a million dollars to whomever runs against this guy
I don’t get it…according to David Shuster, they pimped out Chelsea. Maybe they should have pimped out Huma instead?
Can you imagine how pissed Barry must be at the thought of $8 million of his campaign $$$ going to Mark Penn?
He probably feels exactly the same way O.J. felt the first time he saw Ron Goldman riding around town in the Ferrari he bought for Nicole.
TaxWallStreet: Mr. TaxWallStreet, I think the totals were about 55 percent of those making more than $250K voted for Hopey, so they knew what they were getting into. I guess they just love their country.
I donated $20 to Hopey, please pay off my student loans. Or my credit card.
InKnockYouUs: I know from reading Sarah’s e mails posted on Freerepublic.com that she’s an avid reader of Wonkette. She’s jealous we’re liberal left bloggers and can actually buy $150K worth of clothes at Saks but we CHOOSE not to.
Didn’t Ween write a song about this? Or shouldn’t they?
can’t she just call frito-lay and have them send mark penn $8 million worth of cheetos?
Haa, oh god, the old “oh, you’ve just put a *dagger* in my heart, but don’t worry about me,” ploy. No wonder my mom likes Hillary so much.
Kohl’s? Wonkette is running ads from Kohl’s?
Is that some kind of twisted commentary on the whole Sarah Palin wardrobe malfunction?
MissKLEO: HA! Hope College is NOT a hippy bastion of our Barry’s brand of Hope. It’s a dry campus with strict parietal rules. They had to fire a professor because he said mean things about James Dobson and Jerry Falwell.
Sign:
Will consult campaign for food
Bitter, party of two? Your table is ready.
Anita Cocktail: Hey kohl’s is better than the ‘W on teh shitter’ ad we had to look at for 2 months
For the record, Hilz didn’t “drop out”, she was drop-kicked out; it being the only way SHE WOULD FUCKING LEAVE!
When, in the history of politics, has the guy who won helped the guy who lost pay off their campaign debts? He should help her because she deigned to do what ever other loser did and support him? And doesn’t she have 18 million supporters, or whatever? Two words, Hillary - “Lecture Circuit”. Other than that, in the immortal words of Charles Barkley, please take your ass-whupping and go home.
Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin in “Thelma and Louise”.
Not_So_Much: Now that’s change I can believe in!
Y’know, Hillz, open your checkbook (yes, YOUR own damn checkbook) and consider it a very minimal karmic down payment for the Bobby Kennedy remark.
Holy crap, with the $13 mil she’s written off and the 7.9 mil she owes vendors that’s about $21 mil. Should probably have figured out that all was lost long before getting herself so deep in the hole.
I’M IN YUR WHITEHOUZE
REVERSIN’ YUR POLICEEEES
Bake sale on the WH front lawn. Just an idea.
MISTAHCOUGHDROP: I was actually looking forward to seeing your stuff but PDF files??? GAH. Can’t be bothered.
I wonder if Hillary Clinton would’ve had to do a million events in support of Barack Obama had she not run the campaign she did. Fuck her and fuck her 8 million dollars.
Should have thought about all this when she was ordering Krispy Kreme. (the donuts, not a Hooker for Bill)
Just for spite, I think Obama should spend the next two months running $8m worth of ads smearing the shit out of that cow. You got your $4600 from Obama, Hillary. You should have tried, oh, maybe, not blowing $20m extra dollars you didn’t have on a campaign you lost in February.
Hillary Clinton is still the one politician that can truly piss me off. McCain? Too grampy and pitiful. Palin? HA! Lieberman maybe, but he’s a virgin.
Bush? I’m actually starting to feel sorry for the guy, what with the ‘worst president ever’ consensus. Even though he’s a fucking stubborn ideologue retard surrounded by manipulative assholes who’ve run our country to shit, I have the feeling that deep down he THINKS he’s doing what’s right.
No, to really get me pissed off, just show me a 30 second clip of Hillary justifying the last two months of her campaign, spewing out shallow bullshit that we all know she’s way too smart to believe. You lost, Hillary, and you’re bright enough to have known in February.
And still Chelsea goes unutilized.
Does anyone else think Hillary and Pres. Elect look as though they are playing Musical Chairs in this photo? Guess who won!
grendel: Seriously.
What do you want Hil? 2016 or $10m? She could sell everyone out for an uber-best-seller, or she could pay it forward and try again in 8 years. Or, she could figure out that Nobody who worked her campaign last time deserves to lick its poll-mailer envelopes and make a try for Both!
MissKLEO: Hope College officials say since Friday, more than 400 staff and students have come down with symptoms of the nasty flu that has been knocking down people like bowling pins.
Obvs not Hopey. He can’t bowl worth a damn.
I got it! Hilz gives her name to a line of fancy pants suits, sewn by a bunch of bitters, and they get Michelle Obama to wear the ensemble. Bingo!
What Hilary can do in the meantime is uh sell some more weed, heroine, crack, x and whatever else she can get away with.
echoroc: Mr Echoroc, There’s a zillion images on there…. the PDFs are downloadable FREE posters. Check it again, top of the list for the link. I’ve been working hard!
Hmm…I was not aware that she was campaigning “tirelessly” for Obama. I mean, where was she? She went down to FL to talk to some old ladies? Once? Seriously.
Barack Obama totally helped try to pay down her debt, just as hard as she campaigned for him: the Hope squad put a link on Hope Central asking his Hopeful minions to “click here” to donate to Hillary Clinton’s lost campaign.
Shocking as it may seem, it appears the minions of Hope couldn’t quite see the point in donating their $20 to her already defeated campaign instead of his Presidential campaign. Personally, and Peggy Noonan totally agrees with me, I blame the rap music:
If you ain’t got no money take your broke ass home!
Oh Jesus Tap-Dancing Christ when will this tiff ever end? As if the man doesn’t have enough on his plate: avert a second great depression, bring an end to the war in Iraq, try and undo 8 years of lawless buffoonery, decide on an appropriate humiliation for Joe Liberman, kiss Republican ass because they keep insisting that this is a “center-right” nation when it’s not and continue to be cool, calm and collected so as to not scare all the white folks. Maybe if Hillary accepted the reality that she wasn’t going to get the nomination when the rest of us did (late April) she wouldn’t be up to her ass in debt. I know she worked hard for the Obama campaign. Her status within the Democratic party was on the line and she was simply hedging her bets. Besides, do you think that she was willing to see Fraudbot become the first female V.P. and President-in-waiting? Not on your everlovin’ life.
Hopey will get around to having his bake sale for Hillary. I don’t know what the laws are governing the mountain of money that he still has left over but perhaps he can slide her a few mil just to make this miserable soap opera go the fuck away.
He owes her big time. Without those last doomed expensive months of her campaign, McCain might never have gotten the idea that race baiting and crying sexism at every turn was the way to beat Barry. That was her strategy all along. She lost on purpose so Obama could make history. Isn’t it obvious? Anyone?
Why doesn’t she get it from that Rothschild twat? And then ask her for some money.
echoroc: Seven seconds?! Who the hell has that kind of time!
Maybe she could get her money from the same place Obama did — she could earn it.
Now now, nothing but Christian thoughts, malice in victory, revenge in defeat.
Maybe she should have stopped campaigning when she ran out of money. Cause that’s usually how it works: when people stop sending you money, it means that they’re no longer interested in you as a candidate. Just a thought.
This story pretty much falls into the same category as Joe Lieberman’s “WHY DOES NO ONE LIKE ME?”.
“Because I deserve to be president, and I wouldn’t gotten it if it weren’t for your meddling demographic.” Hillary Clinton, Frank TV.
