Nearly a week ago I received an email from a friend in the Denver area. She was and is a supporter of Hillary Clinton and talks to me via email and forum posts on what is up with HRC even though she knows that I am not exactly a Clinton supporter. Anyway, she knew at least a week ago (if not sooner) that any money being solicited by Hillary Clinton to be used to retire leftover campaign debt would be used first to pay debts to vendors and that any money she had loaned to her own campaign was not a priority, that the loans made to her own campaign were being looked at as something of an investment that may pay future dividends and if not, well, that was OK.
So the bottom line here is that it really isn't that interesting that Barack Obama isn't asking his supporters to help the Clintons recover a portion of their own personal wealth. Why would he when Hillary herself isn't asking for such a thing from her own supporters?
Better reportage, please.
