Obama's vast donor list will be asked to give money to Hilary Clinton to help her pay down her campaign debt. She needs to do this before she becomes secretary of state and when federal eithics rules will limit her fund raising.
An email signed by Joe Biden (Vice president elect) will be sent to the over three million people on Obama's donor lists asking them to give her more money. This is second time they have been asked to help Hilary out with her debt.
Hilary Clinton will also do a "debt ending" event December 15th with tickets going for between $50 and $1,000.00 with higher roller donors getting backstage passes and a photo op with Hilary Clinton. Hilary also plans to put out a children's book with the proceeds going to help pay down her debt. Hilary Clinton currently owes 7.5 million.
Do you think she will get it paid off before she takes her new job? Is this the "bail out" of Hilary Clinton? Will this hurt her politically that she vastly overspent on her campaign and now struggling to pay back th debt. She has been begging for money for a while now and it seems people are not really wanting to give....what happens if she takes the job as secretary of state and still owes all this money?

What happens when she gets involved in yet ANOTHER scandal over money? I don't know why Obama can't see that we shouldn't have Clinton in such a high office when the woman can't even manage her own finances. This fundraising ordeal for her campaign isn't the first... or the worst... example.

very true. This is going to cause issues if she does not get it paid off before she becomes secertary of state.

This is dangerous ground for the new Secertary of State and the new President. Think about it Lilwonders, foreign policy will be drive right now by who pay off Hillary's campaign debt. What happens if Hillary still has debt while the Secertary of State could be just as scary. Hillary is still going to have to pay off that debt no matter who she is. Now yes the Secertary of State does make good mode but not in the tune of 7.5 million dollars. What I do not understand is Obama still has a sizable war chest left over from his Presidential campaign. Why does not Obama just pay off her debt and be done with it?

Because he is saving it for his re election campaign in four years.
He may ask for people to help hilary and "spread the wealth" but not if it is his money for his campaign. He is not sharing that.
Yes it is a dangerous situation. It makes me wonder why he picked her. Yes she is qualified but her negatives make it not worth the risk.
