Holding Hillary accountable for the Clintons’ Saudi-funded donors
Hillary Clinton has a new line on the campaign trail:
Mrs. Clinton’s task is to beat Mr. Obama, and her crowds on Sunday reacted well when she said they could hold her accountable for her “solutions” while Mr. Obama was offering only “speeches.”
“I want you to come to the White House and say, ‘I heard you in Akron; when are you going to produce those jobs?’ ” Mrs. Clinton said at the rally here. And, regarding the high price of oil, she has taken to saying as she did here, “I’m not interested in holding hands with the Saudis — I’m interested in holding them accountable.”
Debra Burlingame e-mails:
Really? Then how about you and your husband being accountable and disclosing the details of the tens of millions of dollars the House of Saud and other Gulf sultans are giving to Clinton projects like the presidential libary in Little Rock? The Clintons have steadfastly refused to disclose their donor list, as well as reams of records relating to the first lady’s “experience” during her husband’s two terms.
Voters in Ohio should ask Sentator Clinton how she will hold the Saudis accountable when she is in the White House if her husband is holding his hand out in Little Rock.

Do as I say, not as I do.
Let me see, Newt has a book out called “Real Change” and heads “America Solutions”. HMMM, where did Obama get his “Change” and HIllary get her “solutions for AMerica”?
Double HMMMM!
Can’t believe the Saudis would give Hillary all that money and not require her to wear a burka.
I’d favor that.
The same way she promised 200,000 jobs in upstate NY during her Senate campaign, which actually resulted in a loss of 31,000 jobs after she got elected?
Promises, promises.
Loser. You can’t trust the Clintons on anything. NOTHING.
We can trust that they will cheat us.
The first person that showed up at the White House demanding she begin producing on her campaign promises would be dismissed at a vast-rightwing conspirator.
The real question is, with all that money couldn’t they come up with something that looks better than a big trailer?

Is this pick on Soap day - again!
Well, we are talking about the Clintons, Marshall.
Nope. I have you penciled in for later in the week, Soap.
Yeah, Barry F.#10
I know. Tee Hee.
Hillary says she is not interested in “holding hands with the Saudis”. How does that square with her double kiss on the cheek with Suha Arafat after Madam Arafat said that Israel “is poisoning Palestinian children”. With Hillary right at her side, Suha Arafat accused Israel of the most vile of crimes and Suha gave a speech filled with antiSemitic calumnies.Hillary’s response to Arafat’s speech was an occasional nod during the speech followed by a double cheek kiss with Suha Arafat. Hillary said not a word in protest and when questioned about it, she said her critics didn’t understand the needs of diplomacy. Only later did the White House issue a written criticism of the Arafat speech and the language was tepid. Hillary would not speak a word of condemnation of Arafat in front of the cameras. I don’t know why Hillary’s opponents don’t bring this up. And Hillary’s opponents could bring up the fact that Yasser Arafat had more White House visits than any other foreign leader. There must be a photo somewhere of the Hillary-Suha Arafat kiss. It should be on the web by now. Perhaps the Clintons buried the official photo somewhere with the Rose Law Firm billing records.

A search on Yahoo of Hillary-Suha Arafat kiss will bring up the picture.
Don’t look at it too long or it will cause nausea.
Maybe she’ll cry on que again and pick up some more votes.
Wow, she really has no clue about world affairs…. quick, somebody ask her if she even knows what “the Saudis” names are.
I figured it would only be a matter of time before Hillary was called on Bill’s financial dealings with the Gulf sheikhdoms. The funding of the Clinton Library (the only presidential library with an adult section, as comedians point out) seems to be a subterfuge around the prohibition against campaign donations by foreigners.
hmmmm………….
Well, maybe he did get something out of dancing with the Saudis and being in cahoots with Calderone and Vincente Fox.
The whole employed, created jobs, lost jobs is a scam that started with Reagan. He redefined employment to mean anyone that worked 2 hours or more a week. That was later redefined to employed as anyone working 1 hour or more a week, probably by Clinton but it does not matter. If the government is saying something verify what and how things are defined.
10/4 to that Azygos
Political Fuzzy Math
The Federal Core Inflation Calculation changed some years ago to EXCLUDE Energy and Food Prices two of the most critical household budget elements that negatively effect consumers.
Unemployment figures are also calculated using some weird formula.
There are many more funky federal government calculations that do not pass the smell test calculation.
I think these utterly false self-serving political calculations deliberately to confuse, misinform and obfuscate highly important decisions that the Federal Government uses to administer critical decision-making and management of the economy.
We should force our representatives in Congress to create Federal Legislator Accountability in Washington Act.
We’ll call this the FLAW act. Any legislation that does not accomplish its intended consequences is automatically repealed after 3 years.
The Sponsors & Co-Sponsors of that Legislation will have their names, pictures and their voting districts posted on a Web site for 5 Years and a JUSTICE DEPARTMENT direct mailed letter going out to all registered voters in those districts describing the specific incompetence and malfeasance of their personal representatives.
With an added THREE STRIKES you’re OUT of Congress penalty.
Yes I’m deluded and dreaming.
Ha! That’s rich - almost as rich as the Clinton’s have become since cozying-up to the Saudis and introducing them to all their new-found business friends, like Mr. Giustra to just one!
Hillary might want to check with her husband’s FBI Director, Louis Freeh and the Sixty Minutes segment he did on Clinton in October 2005. The Saudis were stalling the FBI investigation of the 1996 Khobar Towers terrorist attack in which a truck bomb killed nineteen US servicemen and wounded 370. Prince Bandar, the Saudi ambassador to the US, said that the Saudi government would only allow the FBI access to interrogate the bombing suspects if the President requested it. Freeh pressed Clinton to do that, to make good on Clinton’s rhetoric, “The cowards who committed this murderous act must not go unpunished. Let me say it again: we will pursue this. America takes care of our own. Those who did it must not go unpunished.”
Clinton did nothing to help the FBI, refusing to ask Crown Prince Abdullah, the acting king of Saudi Arabia, for access. Freeh says, “Bill Clinton raised the subject only to tell the crown prince that he understood the Saudi’s reluctance to cooperate, and then he hit Abdullah up for a contribution to the Clinton Presidential Library.”
In other words, Bill Clinton sold our military out for a bribe to be laundered through his presidential library, the laundromat for all his dirty money. This dirty Saudi money came soaked in American blood. And now Hillary talks about holding the Saudis accountable? The Clintons are both beneath contempt, perfectly willing to sell America out for their personal profit and pose as paragons of virtue.
Marshall, Thanks for the tip on the Hillary-Suha kiss. Suha and Hillary are doing their Britney-Madonna impersonation. Your’e right. After about half a second, it did make me sick!
#23 it also, had to do with OBL the saudis looked at the donation as a reward to Clinton for not pushing they take OBL into custody. This because Clinton handled the 1st WTC attack as a crime scene and not an act of war and he kne OBL was involved.
The Clintooons hate getting their hands dirty.
I just googled the Hillary-Suha Arafat kissy kiss smooch and there is a link to a big article and photo from the American Thinker. Suha’s words were truly despicable. The American Thinker article and photo has the whole sordid story of Hillary’s cowardice.
Her claim of getting tough on the Saudis is complete hogwash. The Clintons would not allow the US military to even have a perimeter around the Khobar Towers because a Saudi colonel said that to do so would be an affront to Saudi sensitivities. Neville Clinton Chamberlain lives on through the Hillary campaign.
I agree 100% Tantor
I am shocked,shocked I tell you, to learn of this “new” development; Saudi money connected to the Clinton Library; My list of all of the “—gates” connected to the sleazy Clintons just keeps growing and growing.
