Hillary's In It For The Money

Peggy Noonan recently wrote a very discerning article in the Wall Street Journal titled Hillary Seems Tired, Not Hungry. In it, Noonan details how Hillary's response to the email scandal seemed half-hearted.  According to Noonan, Hillary's comments were "...the thrown-together mess of someone who knew she was guilty of self-serving action".  And she's right.

Hillary doesn't care about being president. Nor does she care about serving the country. There's only one reason Hillary might run for office: Money.

Hillary only wants the money that comes with the presidency.  First, as president, she can live in the mansion that is the White House. Everything is paid for:  all the food, cooking, cleaning, dishes, furniture, utilities, travel, and entertainment.  *Everything* is paid for.  In addition, she would get the president's salary: at least $400,000 per year.  So all she has to do every morning is get up, sit through boring meetings, and then assign tasks to someone else.

Then there's the income after she's out.  First, the pension. She'll receive her entire salary for the rest of her life.  That's $500,000 per year.  Add in Bill's pension of $400,000 per year, and the two of them are collecting almost $1 Million per year in pension payments alone, all paid for by you and me.

$500,000 per hour:
Then, as the "first woman president", she can bump up her speaking fee from $300,000 per speech to $500,000 per speech. She could easily charge half-a-million-dollars for one speech. So if she gave two speeches per month she'd be pulling in $1 Million per month, which is $12 Million per year.  And she would, of course, have the payments made to the Clinton Foundation, so it would only be taxed at 5%. So she would collect $11,400,000 per year.  And that's on top of her pension and her other sources of income.

Don't let yourself be fooled. If Hillary runs for president, she's doing it for the money. She doesn't care about "women's rights" or minorities or anything else. Hillary cares about Hillary.  She's in it to get the big bucks so she can retire after four years, collect her $13 Million per year and spend the rest of her life swaggering in front of her uber-rich friends. Because when your life is as empty as Hillary's, you'll do anything to feel like you're important.

Thousands Slated to Lose Their Jobs in March 2012

Obama's economy is causing mass layoffs.

Layoffs numbering in the thousands are coming to Yahoo! in March

IBM laid off 1,000 workers last month

Microsoft is going to lay off hundreds of workers

AOL will lay off hundreds of employees this month

Boy, that economic recovery is just booming right along, isn't it?  Hey libs...is this "hope" or "change"?  Actually, it's "change but no hope".  With news as dismal as this, If the PLP candidates can't beat Obama in November, then you KNOW they threw the election.

Obama's Gas Shortage, Part 3

The Obama regime's drive to kill jobs and put America at the mercy of oil-rich countries continues:

Obama’s State Department is giving away seven strategic, resource-laden Alaskan islands to the Russians.  The seven endangered islands in the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea include one the size of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. The Russians are also to get the tens of thousands of square miles of oil-rich seabeds surrounding the islands. The Department of Interior estimates billions of barrels of oil are at stake.

Obama has killed drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, shut down the Keystone Pipeline from Canada, and is now giving away seven oil-rich Alaskan islands to Russia.  So in addition to preventing Americans from drilling for their own oil, he's giving the oil to other countries...which will make them stronger.

If Obama opened up those oil-rich areas our gas prices would plummet and millions of Americans would have jobs.  But he can't have that.  Prosperous Americans are damn hard to govern.  Only by keeping Americans poor and struggling can he maintain control over his subjects.

This is why I say there's a traitor in the White House.  Obama needs to be thrown out of office in 2012 and never be given any decision-making authority ever again.

Fork over your money, Ben & Jerry!

Today the directors of Ben and Jerry's ice cream stated their support for the "Occupy Wall Street" protesters.

A quote from the ASP, on Yahoo News says it all:
"In a statement on the company's website, seen Tuesday, they shared the protesters' anger with inequity within the United States ("simply immoral"), high unemployment and unbridled political spending by big corporations.  'All this goes on while corporate profits continue to soar and millionaires whine about paying a bit more in taxes.' they said."

There you have it, folks. Liberal hypocrisy.  No, it's chutzpah, plain and simple.

Ben and Jerry, the founders of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, are millionaires. They built their ice cream company from a small start-up to a thriving business and then sold it for millions to Unilever (a big corporation).  In August, Unilever -- which also owns Dove soap and Lipton tea -- reported first-half net profits of ($3.3 billion, which is up nine percent from a year earlier.

So two millionaires are supporting the "occupy" protesters and slamming big corporations, one of whom bought their ice cream company and made them millionaires.

It must be nice to be a liberal. You can say and do anything you want and you're never held accountable.

And for conservatives, this is one more reason to not buy Ben & Jerry's ice cream.
