Just a little reminder about 2008 - what Hillary asked from Obama after she conceded....

To retire her campaign debt.

Mrs. Clinton’s debt has in the past been a point of contention between her supporters and those of Mr. Obama. She ended her White House bid in 2008 with $20 million in debt and loans, and while Mr. Obama asked his top donors at the time to help defray it, many of them — still fuming after the contentious primary fight between Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton — refused to do so.

So when Hill supporters complain about what Bernie wants - and that he should just support her. Period.
Remind them of this. And -
What Bernie is asking is for the American people.
What Hillary asked for was for herself.

and hasn't paid Iowa back at least Marshalltown (sp) for the expenses visiting both Dec and Jan. Gonna have to get the money from somewhere. Raise Taxes? who knows hope not. We need taxes for real things and first thing we need to do is expire Bush's temporary taxcuts (6 yrs after they were supposed to expire)

If you are one people who got a helping hand from her or someone that got money from the Foundation, then it was very good. If you are so little kid over in the ME or certain South America countries probably not so much.

You can see it from the number of times she says I, me, mine, and my. Compare that to the number of times Bernie uses the words we, us, and our.
