so would it be correct to guess
that the $10 million Clinton made from donors the night of the PA primary was a LIE??? that was only 2 weeks ago.

I just got this email from the Obamama campaign:

News broke this morning that Senator Clinton made three separate loans to her campaign in the past 30 days -- including one as recently as Monday.

These loans total more than $6.4 million, which combined with her previous personal loans, add up to at least $11.4 million she's loaned her campaign since February.

A spokesman said she may continue to "loan the campaign additional money out of her jointly-held assets" -- which include more than $100 million in income since her husband left the White House.

1. Uh, it was known to be a lie the moment they said it.

3. I'd like to know where the other $4 million
came from too - how many donors? How many corporations?

6. She just loaned herself 6.4...
Then rounded up to the nearest double digit.

5. Crikey man, let's stop the Hillary bashing long enough to congratulate Obama for his win
who cares now what or how she did. Actual figures can probably be found on opensecrets.org. I've got no time for kneejerk emails that probably do NOT come from Obama camp.

7. That c/p did come from the Obama Camp.
And it's quite true about the loans.

She has no intentions of dropping out.

8. they were asking for donations, and
links to his web site, I'd say it did come from his campaign.

and I'm questioning this because I heard on CNN this morning that's its not uncommon for the winner to pay off the loser's debts... since I am a regular contributor to the Obama campaign, I think that's crappy, esp. if she plans to keep rolling on incurring more debt.

9. Nobody ever said how much of that was available for the primary.
I figured only about 10% could be used for the primary, and the rest was from their usual large donors.
