Meet the Press lobbed softballs at Hillary Clinton during her ‘interview’ today. One of those questions was soft peddling around the question why Hillary Clinton took six-figure incomes from those evil banks like Goldman Sachs to give speeches. Remember her and BJ were dead broke or something. Hillary Clinton’s answer was as pathetic and desperate as you’d expect. You see, Hillary Clinton said she took the money from Goldman Sachs because of the killing Bin-Laden or something.
Apparently in Hillary’s world, Goldman Sachs had so many questions on the raid in Pakistan that took out Bin-Laden that they paid her six figures to come and speak about it. Yea, a big bank is really concerned about the strategy Hillary Clinton didn’t even design to take out Osama. I’m sure.

“Look, I gave speeches to a wide array of groups, from health care groups to auto dealers and many, many more,” Clinton said. “And I think what they were interested in — because what we talked about was the world, coming off of four years as secretary of state in a complicated world, people were interested in what I saw, what I thought, they asked questions about matters that were on their minds.”
Clinton suggested she was booked by those who wanted to know about her role in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
“[There was] a lot of interest in the bin Laden raid, how such a tough decision was made and what I advised the president,” she said.
“Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd asked Clinton if she thought those institutions like Goldman Sachs that paid her might expect something in return.
