Thread: Obama camp furious!

Now are you guys aware of the Clinton estate in New York?
It's my understanding, from several different sources that The Clintons are renting out their guest house to the secret service. As a former presidential family, they are entitled to have secret service protection for the rest of their lives... If my information is correct, they are charging the secret service $8,000.00 a month for the right to use the guest house on their estate... in order to protect them...
The secret service doesn't have a right to negotiate or argue the price, or refuse them protection, they are entitled to this protection. It seems to me that the Clintons should be grateful for this protection, and would not feel the need to charge our government for this service.
There's a twist to this though, Why would Bill and Hillary need an extra $8000 a month? Is it a coincidence that their house payment is around $8000/ month?

It looks to me like the Clintons are using our tax dollars to buy their New York estate. Legal? yes... Ethical? I say no

Fallout, what happened to your post? I was going to reply to it, but it just disappeared!

It's a vast democratic conspiracy

Two seconds of fact-checking would have determined that you're wrong. The Clintons haven't accepted a dime from Secret Service. Their arrangement is no different than any other (surviving) previous POTUS.

Believe what you want, but make sure your "facts" aren't just politically-motivated garbage. People on all sides need to take the hate-blinders off. I find it sad that many American's entire political beliefs are determined solely by email chain letters, costumes, and the all-important middle name. Chill out, relax. Go get a massage.

Okay, i'll concede to that one... the place I read it seemed reputable enough... It doesn't change the fact that Hillary is 1 a lawyer... 2 has been involved in numerous scandals She is the only First Lady ever called to testify before a Grand Jury inquiry... 3 she voted for the Iraq war... she now says as president she wouldn't have started this war, but she voted for it... 4 The clintons both Bill and Hillary have a long documented habit of obstructing justice. I think the word that fits here is "dishonesty"
I can't find it in my heart to trust Hillary any more than Bill "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" Clinton.

if you still have questions about Hillary, read this...

i just happened to check in on this forum.
Funny--my impression of folks from reading their posts on just the shave-related topics is one thing; and then when I see the same folks posting their strongly-held political views on this part of the board, if they are from a different political point of view than me, I can't but help feeling a little less "warm and fuzzy" about them. That's why I'm not a big proponent of including this type of political discussion on what I think should be a board devoted to shaving and non-political topics. Sorry--but if you're posting some really strong rhetoric that rankles me, I not going to feel the same way about you, on a gut level, than if I think you're "with me".

I don't know what to say but that's just life ---- anyone who opens his mouth should realize that his fans and enemies will probably both increase -------but I don't think it has to be as serious as all of that , especially on this forum. Personally, I've never been one to care if people like me or not ------ also, I have family members who do not think like I do but we are all still a close family---- just have to keep things in perspective.
