timbuktom: Where the heck did Hillary and Bill get $35,000,000?

Did they win the Lotto?

No, got it from writing and talking.

If you had clicked on the links included in the original posting you'd have seen:

"[H]e grabbed a $12 million advance for his 2001 memoir, "My Life." (Her "Living History" won an advance of $8 million and $7 million in royalties.)

"But it's been Bill's great gift for gab that has really feathered the Clintons' nest. He earned an astounding $41 million speaking to groups and corporations in the first six years since he left office. Standard fee: $150,000."

Anonymous: So Perino's Great Gap in her knowledge of U.S. milestone events is kind of okay because she was answering on a kind of humorous NPR show?

Are you trying to say she was joking around, or are you one of those enabling types?

Oh, please. Did you actually read what I wrote? "Should the White House Press Secretary be familiar with key events of recent history? Absolutely." How do you get from that to suggesting I think her lack of knowledge "is kind of okay"?

In any event, the main point I was making (for those of you who a) are actually able to comprehend what you read and b) don't find it necessary to hide behind anonymous signatures) was to merely point out that Perino's comment was not made in a standard NPR interview, which is what one could infer from the way it was originally described. So I was, y'know, clarifying the facts. Something it seems "anonymous" is not familiar with.

I guess if you're born into money, you can't have ANY idea how the average working man feels huh.

Guess that means JFK didn't have a clue either. BTW, JFK also advocated tax cuts.

Mitt Romney may be extremely rich, but I take some satisfaction in certain knowledge, that after the 2008 election:

He will not be the next President.

He will not be his party's nominee.

He will be forced to come to terms with his party's prejudice against him.

He will be living with the fact that he sold out whatever principles he had in his vain pursuit.

And he will have a hell of a lot less money than he started out with.

"A clique of U.S. industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state to supplant our democratic government and is working closely with the fascist regime in Germany and Italy. I have had plenty of opportunity in my post in Berlin to witness how close some of our American ruling families are to the Nazi regime. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there."

William E. Dodd U.S. Ambassador to Germany 1937

"There is nothing new under the sun," teaches Kabbalah.

For 70+ years they've been at it, right under our noses, above ground and under ground, back stage and on the stage.

In the 2004 Presidential Campaign and Election we had a Skull and Bones member from the "left" challenging a Skull and Bones member from the "(religious) right."

The Skull and Bones member from the "left" said, "I live from Sunday to Sunday," and the fool, "A friend and defender of Israel and the Jewish People" from the "right" said, "Christ changed my heart."

From what to what, if I may ask?

During WWII and the Holocaust it was Nazi officers, SS Gestapo torturers and savage officers who wore the Skull and Bones symbol on their uniforms.

Now, Baruch Hashem, we are governed and surrounded by these local and global legalized corporatist, fascist looters and murderers in and out of (military) uniforms, in designer suits and in various disguises of language, nationality, religion, etc. and they are looting us down to the core, robbing us blind while distracting us with a dog and pony show of campaigning, fund raising and empty promises, with endless talk shows, articulate opinions, calculated answers, and "news."

Go against your nature, live "love thy neighbor" no matter what, refuse to hate, do not "see red" (as like attracts like) to see the invisible, to hear what is not being said to save (y)our day on the individual as well as the collective level.

If not now, when?

According to universal cause and effect principle of "what goes around, comes around," aka Kabbalah, there's no chance that Governor Mitt Romney will ever get (s)elected President of the United States of America no matter how many speeches he'd make.

How so?

Governor Mitt Romney launched his Presidential Campaign at Nazi Henry Ford Museum.

Not that he is the only one of the Republican candidates who wishes to emulate and be(come) a re-born, or a "born-again" Ronald Reagan, because they all say they do, but this time it is a (Republican) strategery that leads directly to disaster and a dead end.

How so?

It IS Deja Vu all over again.

Anyone with any un-programmed and truly independent, un-used (or re-programmable) memory cells left at their disposal will remember Ronald Reagan's infamous visit to a Nazi cemetary in Bitburg, (W.) Germany, in 1985, at the invitation of Helmut Kohl.

To know and to see the true colors of all these "fiscally conservative" (a modern code word for fascist on both sides of the aisle) candidates hiding behind religion in the 2008 race, and to hear all that is not being said as of yet, all we need to do is to arrange a quick field trip to the very same Nazi cemetary in Bitburg, Germany, to pay tribute tothe Gestapo officers and soldiers there and take a count on who'd go and who'd choose not to go, who's a Nazi at heart, temporarily in disguise and who isn't.

I say they'd all go.

It is amazing that all the spinning experts and political consultants couldn't come up with a simple plan like this. All it takes is a little bit of gathering in of cosmic intelligence above time, space and motion and some remembering...
