Obama Goes Full Clinton Foundation With Series Of $400,000 Wall Street Speeches

Ok, can we look at the figures together? Where is that? Could you please outline it?

 

Well, I can take some comfort in knowing that at the end of the day, Hillary's Wall Street speeches probably cost her the election.

The difference being that the Carter Center has a clear, unblemished record in regards to clear charitable spending for health, peace, housing, and agriculture programs. No one on either side of the aisle disputes the spending and work by the Carter Center.

Ok which year is 60% on the gala. We are not enemies here, you make a statement, I'm happy to learn.

Edited, I've looked at several years e.g. 2012 and I'm not seeing it.

 

If you'd like to attend the next one let me know, always happy to sell tickets. Since about half the programs deal with farm runoff there was a pretty substantial number of farmers involved. Like I said, this was a local charity closer to Ducks Unlimited than the Clinton Foundation. Curious what your experience has been in non-profit strategy and execution? Always happy to exchange real insights of what works and what doesn't if you're truly interested in the subject area?

 

Sig,

I belong to a foundation that does similar work...The James River Association. Whats the name of yours?

Btw, they only spent 17% on fundraising last year. I think anything close to 60% would raise some eyebrows.

I know they have to spend money to raise funds. The 2013 return said they spent 8 million, i think it was, on fundraising. But the conferences and events they attended accounted for 8 or 9 million, which was a separate expense on that tax filing. I'm guessing it's that amount that is what they counted as their own charitable work. I didn't see anything else on there that they could try to pass off as charity.

In my view, an underwhelming percentage of their money went to charity even if you take their word and their expansive view of what constitutes charity.

 

Your presentation of numbers was out of context, stop playing stupid.

 

That pretty much says it all. I can agree with you on that. It's not the kind of thing the Clinton Foundation would do. So the question remains. What is it that the Clinton Foundation counts as their own charitable endeavors and will we ever get an answer. I'm not holding my breath.
