Let me get this right, Hillary lost, yet she still hasn't conceded & she's reportedly?

Question

"negotiating" with Obama about her debt and possible future positions in his administration. What does Obama have to do with her debt? Can someone explain to me her entitlement mentality?

I used to be a Hillary fan not long ago, but for the life of me I can't figure her actions out.

Answer 1

Simple

She loaned a lot of money to herself at at interest and wants it to be paid back to herself plus interest. Might sound weird, but all this peoples live revolve around greed and money. Plain and simple.

They don't give a sh-it about us. They only pretend they do.

"out of the goodness of their hearths", LOL that was very funny.

Answer 2

The convention has not been held -  I'm on wait and see mode.  And Patois has a very good understanding of the political situation.    

Regardless I'm not voting for the newbie.

Answer 3

A white woman that feels "entitled" and looks to a man to bail her out of the mess she made for herself?

It's 2008.

That's not really that uncommon these days.

Answer 4

Traditionally, the campaign of the winning primary candidate will pay the campaign debts of the losing primary candidate from the same party.  It's not a sense of entitlement...just how things are usually done.

Answer 5

I've heard about this but I need to do more research. I am really, really not thrilled about money that contributors (including myself) gave to Obama's campaign, SPECIFICALLY TO BRING ABOUT A POSITIVE CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT, would be given to line Hillary Clinton's personal pockets (since her campaign is in debt to herself). The thought that contributions made to a cause might be forced into some rich woman's pockets is frustrating to say the least.

But I'm not going to worry about it unless that happens. Hillary's behavior has been disgusting me since NH, when she dug into Obama's kindergarten years and violated his privacy (I would say interviewing his eighty-something teacher counts as a violation) for idiocy.

Anyway, she's had no mathematical way of winning since before Ohio & Texas (which, by the way, she lost), but she's continued her campaign using such slogans as the popular vote (but only if you include FL & MI and exclude 4 states Obama won), she's won the only states 'that matter' (thanks, Hillary), or we should elect her because she's white, and white Democrats won't like an uppity black candidate (Wtf?).

Obama has never used his race as a reason to vote for him, or emphasized his gender. Hillary has continually used both. I'm honestly disgusted by the way she will use or do anything to win, and I'm glad that her time is finally over (or just about). Now at least the chances of coup by superdelegate are all but gone, and I hope that Hillary the Divider doesn't do too much damage that can't be repaired.

Answer 6

No, she has conceded. But Obama's people are willing to help her out with her debts, just out of the goodness of their hearts.

Answer 7

Like the first answer, I am Australian, and i have found this tawdry affair quite silly.  She is not going to concede defeat, totally and irrevocably, until she has no other choice.  She is alos most likely trying to find some way of getting herself some sort of financial security because of the huge debts she has incurred.

I agree that she seems to feel as if she were entitled to the nomination, and is now entitled to be recompensed for the expense of the campaign she has just waged.  

This is one of the reasons I have for questioning America "democracy": it requires massive finance, is unreasonably based on having a war record (though recent history has seen this lessen) and often has dynastic tendencies.  Ordinary people do not become president any longer ( and they rarely did).

Answer 8

She thinks that Obama needs her on the ticket as a VP to get the GE.

Answer 9

I'm from Australia, and looking from things from the outside, it seems to be she is passionate or obsessive to get into a high posistion. We don't get the full details like you do. Just my opinion though.

Answer 10

It's more complicated than that.  Each candidate builds a huge deals network of essentially trade and commerce packages and that network is what backers put their money behind.  That's what has to be negotiated right now, how Hillary's network gets traded.  What I hear is Hillary's "package" is yummy and gives her an unexpected leverage which she's wrangling into a sub-government entity of great ancillary power that is merely being made available in a mercenary way to Obama and intends to remain intact and unto it self.  Obama's own package actually failed.  Something else tipped the scales, stuff we won't ever know about except from reading obscure political analyst's book of the month selections in twenty years.  But, Hillary's camp is fully behind handing that enormous unexpected package of deals "structure" or network over to Obama's camp and quibbles now over mere details related to "protections" for that "sub-governmental entity.   Her package most certainy is worth the "buy-out" of paying off her campaign debts.  Ms. Hillary, I do believe, intends to run again.

Answer 11

The people voted and she lost! she should have no position in any administration and if she can't pay her debt's they should seize her assets.
