By your criteria: If you are a Democrat and want to run for office, don't have too much money. The Clintons donated $10 million to charity (nearly 10% of what they made). What percentage did Obama donate to charity?
Instead of trying to find fault with Hillary and Bill Clinton, why don't you put your energy into finding fault with McCain.

| -While ordinary Americans struggle to make ends meet, the Clintons make 109 million. |

Bill did it in the first election. Promised those areas more jobs and instead gave them NAFTA. |
