Of the 311 fundraisers who bundled more than $100,000 in donations for Hillary Clinton�s presidential campaign, only eight are on the list of contributors to Barack Obama�s campaign in June.

Their total for the month: just $19,250.

�The fact that fewer than 3 percent of Clinton�s donors have donated any money directly to Obama in his first month as presumptive nominee is likely to raise the eyebrows of some leaders in the Democratic Party who are hoping to see signs of unity,� the Huffington Post observed.

For the Obama campaign, the easiest way to drum up support from Clinton�s contributors is to put her on the ticket.....

Not happening. Tell them to try something else or go over to J. Montgomery Burns.

Personally, I get a kick out of it. The more they pull these stunts, the more obvious it becomes how full of crap they are.

He's in real trouble if her supporters don't get behind him. He really can't afford to lose that many dems, especially since this election looks to be a close one.

I am surprised they have given a whole $20,000 to Obama. The guy is a scum bucket. And the Hillary people KNOW IT!

$20,000 sounds like a lot!!

Yeah, no doubt Barack Hussein will get a ton of cash from the drug companies, insurance companies, predatory trial lawyers, oil speculators, and of course, oil companies themselves. He has been doing it since day 1. He plays this whole game where he says he doesn't know of any contributions. The ole "I am not sure this was happening, honestly" situation.

That is not to mention money from domestic terrorist organizations, places like the Gaza strip, and of course, foreign nationals like George Soros who are trying to buy off the US elections.

Final note: The DNC convention will be a great spectacle to see. Anarchists with "Recreate '68" and Hillary supporters trying to get Hillary nominated through a "Floor Vote".

Can't hardly wait!!!

Why doesn't Hillary do her job and get out and line up her followers? If not for Obama then for the good of her and her husband's dear party. I thought Obama's team agreed to pay her bills for her already.

It just seems really unprofessional, to sulk like this.

Maybe it is because of this!

Bill Clinton says Barack Obama must 'kiss my ass' for his support
Bill Clinton says Barack Obama must 'kiss my ass' for his support - Telegraph


The paper cited an anonymous Democratic source who provided the quote. That source also said Clinton is not making the primary effort to bridge the chasm between himself and Obama.

“He’s saying he’s not going to reach out, that Obama has to come to him. One person told me that Bill said Obama would have to quote, ‘kiss my ass,’ close quote, if he wants his support.

He is meeting his fund raising goals and she isn't making hers to pay back her debt. She needs his fundraising more then he needs hers and the party needs him even more. Last report the DNC was still under 5 million dollars and the
RNC was 60-70 million plus in cash available. The Democratic who will be having their rear end kissed is Obama as he is the only one with a functioning fund raising machine. Wait take a look at debt and cash on hand for the DNC and they are in hock. There is no Democratic Presidential campaign at this point without kissing what Obama wants kissed. Read the data and ponder as of today.
