Bill Clinton on earning $500,000 per speech: “I gotta pay our bills”
Bill Clinton “earns” about $500,000 for every speech he gives and while I have no problem with him for taking money from people who are willing to pay him it does call into question whether or not his family can understand what the average American family is going through while trying to make ends meet while his wife is running for President as a populist candidate.
Bill Clinton was asked if he would continue to give speeches while Hillary was running for President and he said he would because “I gotta pay our bills.” Here is the video:
Those must be some bills! We all should be so lucky! This gaffe is akin to Hillary’s “dead broke” comment. It also reminds me of the field day the left had with Mitt Romney during the 2012 election because one of his houses included a car elevator.
The media used this to show the American people that Mitt Romney was out of touch with the average American person and I think this shows that Bill and Hillary Clinton are nothing more than the Mitt Romney of the left–they are clearly out of touch.
Even some of the leftist mainstream media appear to be flummoxed by this comment and cannot defend it. Clearly Bill and Hillary are part of the 1% yet it seems that Hillary Clinton’s supporters are unwilling to admit this or make the comparison to Mitt Romney for obvious reasons...

I might go and listen to him if paid $500,000 plus expenses!
When ‘IN GOD WE TRUST’ was put on the currency they meant ‘In god we trust.’ Big difference! The god of money.
