"Clinton’s Speeches for Goldman Sachs Described as “Glowing”"

Transcripts of the events would “bury her,” according to the report.
BY TINA NGUYEN

But a picture of Clinton's comments for Goldman is now coming into focus, thanks to Politico's Ben White, who reconstructed her speeches from sources who attended the talks. And it doesn't look good for the Democratic candidate. An anonymous attendee described one as “pretty glowing about us” and that “it’s so far from what she sounds like as a candidate now. . . . She sounded more like a Goldman Sachs managing director.” If the transcript came out, “it would bury her against Sanders,” the source added later. “It really makes her look like an ally of the firm.”

The drip-drip of quotes characterizing Clinton’s comments will only increase the pressure on the candidate to redefine her strategy against Sanders, who is running away with the lion’s share of young voters, particularly women, who overwhelmingly favor the Vermont senator’s populist campaign. Clinton retains her dominant position in the primary states after New Hampshire. But her seeming inability to hold off the brutal attacks on her cozy relationship with Wall Street speaks to a startling lack of foresight. After all, the financial crisis happened in 2008, and she likely knew that her speeches would be scrutinized, even when she took her sabbatical between working at the State Department and declaring her White House bid. (Then again, this is a candidate who tried to appeal to average American’s financial woes by claiming that her family was “dead broke” upon leaving the White House—even if they would quickly wipe out their debts and become multi-millionaires thanks to said lucrative speaking gigs.)

3. Talk about Berned where she stands

It's probably why she's flipping out so much lately- all it would take is a good sneeze, and her house of cards falls down.

4. Can you even imagine what's in those speeches?

They'd probably make Romney's 47 percent remark seem benign.

They weren't paying her to tell them that she intended to roll back Glass Steagall and break them up!

5. So I saw one, and it was benign.

I know you won't know until you see the transcript, which I doubt we will ever see. But I was there and I know what I saw/heard and it wasn't all that exciting.

6. Both Clintons have given an untold number of speeches

to big banks and other Wall-Street interests.

I'm sure, a few of those speeches were benign. She talked about one that focused on women who were entrepreneurs.

However, I am sure that there were plenty in which she kow towed to them and said some things that would make her look bad.

Others who have heard these speeches (as indicated in the OP) indicate that if the speech transcripts were public, it would not be positive for her.

That's fine if you've heard one speech. That doesn't mean you've heard them all.

I am betting there are some benign speeches. I wonder why she doesn't release those and call it a day?
