Oops. Hillary Clinton stepped in it again. Now, after claiming she was dead broke when her and BJ Bill Clinton left the White House, Hillary Rotten Clinton is defending the wealth the two have accumulated because Hillary Clinton isn’t like the ‘truly well off’ or something. This comes from left wing site Talking Points Memo. One thing I could will say about Obama, as at least when he was campaigning for president, he never made gaffes like this. He made his 57 states gaffe, or his Muslim faith gaffe, but no one paid attention to those. He never discussed his wealth and how he was so unlike the ‘truly well off.’

Hillary Clinton defended her personal wealth and how it might impact a potential presidential run in 2016, after coming under fire for comments she made during her “Hard Choices” book tour.
The Guardian’s Ed Pilkington asked Clinton how her financial status could impact her ability to discuss income inequality.
“But they don’t see me as part of the problem,” she responded in the interview published Sunday, “because we pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off, not to name names; and we’ve done it through dint of hard work.”
Clinton was criticized for comments she made earlier in June during an interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer.
“We came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt,” Clinton said about her and Bill Clinton’s financial situation. “We had no money when we got there and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea’s education. You know, it was not easy.”
