When Condoleezza Rice headlined a 2009 fundraising luncheon for the Boys and Girls Club of Long Beach, she collected a $60,000 speaking fee, then donated almost all of it back to the club, according to multiple sources familiar with the club’s finances.
Hillary Clinton was not so generous to the small charity, which provides after-school programs to underprivileged children across the Southern California city. Clinton collected $200,000 to speak at the same event five years later, but she donated nothing back to the club, which raised less than half as much from Clinton’s appearance as from Rice’s, according to the sources and tax filings.
Instead, Clinton steered her speaking fee to her family’s own sprawling $2 billion charity.
This “charity” would primarily be a cookie jar for the Clinton’s and their coterie of progressive catchfarts. About 90% of its annual budget on things like salaries, travel, etc. rather than actually doing something useful.
And it gets better:
SO WHAT!
Yes,but her stand on the vital issues that are important to me, an ordinary middle class woman, are very much to my liking. I will vote for her.
She represents the best chance for future generations.
is this a joke???
No, James, It is very serious. Ideally, I would want John Kerry, but that is impossible so…….
Grifter !
I love that term. So fitting.
And all other politicians are holier than thou.
