And, it explains why. ;So BC refused to speak at the charity dinner every time requested. The voila, suddenly $500 Million appears and there he is..all smiles. This is a small charity that could have used the money after the devastating tsunami. Disgusting, distasteful behavior. But then most small charities could use such money.

Quite a family...HRC and BC. They'll do us proud - again - when he is prowling the WH halls. closets and bedrooms, while she sells the country's goods to foreign govts. Even libtards/dims have to be holding their nose on the election.

There is NO shortage of self serving, corrupt, immoral, venal, hypocritical, double-talking CROOKS in either the Democrat or Republican party. And those who aren't rarely get to the highest offices or are on 3rd party/independent ticket with similar chance of the same offices.
There really is no good reason for keeping score between the the GOP and DNC. They're owned and controlled by the same corporate oligarchy. The individual participants crimes are simply an indictment on our current system of political auction and controlling(engineered?) American ethos.
...you obviously can't tell the difference between $500 thousand and $500 million. Maybe someday you'll have more than two nickels to rub together and you'll be able to discern six figure and nine figure numbers.
He travels the world freely, he was all over President Obama's re-election campaign and is respected all over the world. Look at the guy and his VP who took over after him. They are not even wanted in their own parties, banned from their own party conventions, unwanted in election campaigns and cannot travel outside, they will be arrested for war crimes. The countries they wanted to travel could not guarantee their safety.
President Clinton can command a big and appreciative audience anywhere in the country and the world.
It will be Madame President come 2017. Keep barking. If you think one of GOP clowns will get elected in 2016, it is like a Caucasian kid winning the Scripps National Spelling Bee Contest. It is not going to happen.

And, it explains why. ;
The Clintons, white trash, nothing honorable about those two.
Your 500 million dollar figure is the amount the Clintons hope to make the first year if Hillary is elected President.
Slick Willie's pay for the Happy Hearts fundraiser Gala was 500 thousand .
"The former president of the United States agreed to accept a lifetime achievement award at the June 2014 event after Ms. Nemcova offered a $500,000 contribution to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation. The donation, made late last year after the foundation sent the charity an invoice, amounted to almost a quarter of the evening’s net proceeds — enough to build 10 preschools in Indonesia.
“The Clinton Foundation had rejected the Happy Hearts Fund invitation more than once, until there was a thinly veiled solicitation and then the offer of an honorarium,” said the former executive director, Sue Veres Royal, who held that position at the time of the gala and was dismissed a few weeks later amid conflicts over the gala and other issues.
This is primarily a small but telling example of the way the Clintons operate,” said Doug White, who directs the master’s program in fund-raising management at Columbia University. “The model has responsibility; she paid a high price for a feel-good moment with Bill Clinton. But he was riding the back of this small charity for what? A half-million bucks? I find it — what would be the word? — distasteful.”
In her letter of invitation to Mr. Clinton, Ms. Nemcova, then chairwoman of her charity’s board, said she wanted to show her appreciation for his “inspirational leadership” after disasters.
“My gratitude to you is so strong that should you accept, we will schedule our event commemorating the 10th anniversary around your schedule,” she wrote, speaking of their shared dedication to the survivors of both the tsunami and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti.
Happy Hearts collaborated more expeditiously in Haiti with the Digicel Foundation, whose founder, the Irish billionaire Denis O’Brien, is a multimillion-dollar supporter of the Clinton Foundation and whose parent telecommunications company benefited from grants from Mrs. Clinton’s State Department.
Happy Hearts Fund first asked Mr. Clinton to be its honoree in 2011. Trying again in 2013, Ms. Nemcova sent her first formal letter of invitation in July, asking Mr. Clinton to be the primary award recipient at a Happy Hearts gala on Nov. 4, 2013, celebrating Indonesia.
Mr. Clinton’s scheduler replied with a cordial rejection — “Regrettably, he is committed to another event out of town that same evening” — in an email copied to Frank Giustra, the Canadian mining financier who is one of the Clinton Foundation’s largest donors and also a supporter of Ms. Nemcova.
Ms. Nemcova subsequently met with officers at the Clinton Foundation, Ms. Veres Royal said. Afterward, she said, “Petra called me and said we have to include an honorarium for him — that they don’t look at these things unless money is offered, and it has to be $500,000.”
The invitation letter was revised and sent again at the end of August. It moved the gala to 2014, offered to work around Mr. Clinton’s availability, dropped the focus on Indonesia and shifted it to Haiti, and proposed the donation.
“Understanding the need and commitment to ‘rebuilding better,’ Happy Hearts Fund would like to also share the proceeds of the event with the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, committing at least $500,000 in partnership on a joint educational project in Haiti, of your selection,” Ms. Nemcova wrote, ending with her customary signoff, “Lots of Love, Light and Laughter.”
