Hillary Clinton To Bill O'Reilly, "Rich People: God Bless Us;" Elite? Hmm

by Dean Powers     Page 1 of 1 page(s)

At least she wasn't knocking back shots with Senator John McCain, the 5th richest US senator during the height of the Iraq War, but something is still seriously wrong when Bill O’Reilly is yukking it up with a potential Democratic presidential nominee on his oftener-than-not vitriolic conservative talk show as if the two were chortling about the acquisition of some small country over a bottle of Dom Perignon at the Augusta Country Club, chauffeurs and entourages dutifully biding time near the exit.

Presidential nominee Senator Hillary Clinton appeared on the O'Reilly Factor for the first time on Wednesday in what the Huffington Post described as a "confrontational but mostly friendly exchange."

One could imagine servants scurrying around the kingly Bill O’Reilly or queenly Hillary Clinton before the taped interview as each sat at a vanity mirror under the care of a hairstylist making more than some doctors. Both looked about 20 years younger than they are.

One could also guess at the elaborate plans behind the meeting of these two royal factions, Blackberries buzzing, young important-looking people power walking from meeting to meeting and making arrangements with Beijing or Singapore.

The interview may have looked like a truce, but the dynamics between O’Reilly and Clinton showed a far deeper and more substantial relationship between the two factions: Murdoch’s royal family and Clinton’s. O’Reilly even asked, “Are you surprised that Fox News has been fairer to you than NBC News, and a lot of the other liberal news networks?" Clinton ducked the question like it was sniper fire.

It’s possible that Fox News has more to look forward to with Clinton in the White House than John McCain, let alone Obama. Who knows what kind of campaign promises Clinton—who “doesn’t agree with the activist base of the Democratic Party”—made in the private company of the gazillionaire media emperor?

Both noblepersons displayed their ass…ets like a couple of peacocks. “You know your husband and I make a lot of money, do you know that?” Bill O’Reilly asked Clinton as she smiled back maniacally. “I’ve heard that,” Clinton returned in an understatement that would have raised eyebrows had she never traveled to Bosnia. “A lot of money,” O’Reilly repeated as Clinton laughed heartily, perhaps thinking of all of her millions.

O’Reilly worked to pin down Clinton on tax cuts, demanding to know how much money Clinton was going to take “out of my wallet.” O’Reilly told Clinton, “I’m not a middle-class family, I’m a rich guy.” Then Clinton, who is so down to earth and “in touch” with Middle Americans and the values of faithful people and gun-owners said, “You know what? Rich people: God bless us.”

God bless us rich people. God bless us because we’re rich. God bless of our money. Let me tell you a little something about the type of people that Clinton is sooooo in touch with: they ain’t rich. How can you possibly be in touch with them?

Oh, I know. You can pinch your millions by not leaving Maid-Rite waitress Anita Esterday even a two or three dollar tip and then send a campaign spokesperson over to get “in touch” with her and pay her some hush money and call the hard-working single mom a liar to hide your own sins. (The Clinton campaign could never prove it left a tip. They just fought back vehemently when the story broke and shattered Esterday’s reputation in the process. Well that’s collateral damage.)

“Rich people; God bless us.” If that doesn’t sum up an attitude of elitism, I don’t know what does. Why shouldn’t God bless poor people too? Why (don’t interrupt me, you’re asking these same asinine, sarcastic, hyperbolic questions about Obama) does Clinton’s God only love the rich? Shouldn’t poor people have a chance to worship God? I guess not. I guess Clinton worships a country club God. I guess God only blesses Exxon executives and Halliburton executives.

Let’s continue what the right-wing media would do if Obama had said something like this. Here’s an angry Middle American that some reporter for ABC dug up and she’s pissed about these elitist comments: “She sits there and says that God only loves the rich and expects us to vote for her because she’s ‘in touch’ with us.” Or, “The bible says it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for the rich to get into heaven. I hope Clinton remembers that while she sits there and claims that God loves her more than us ordinary average Americans.”

The President.

If Hillary is elected, will she testify at the Clinton V. Paul trial?   The judge said on 4/25 that she will not have to testify until after the election...so will the President of the United States actually submit to a state court of law and testify?  Does the President have to do that?  Can they just give themselves a pass?  Can she pardon Bill if he is found guilty? 

We have months to go in the campaign....and the first Clinton drama has already started!!  I can't tell what is worse...that this might actually happenn or that its NOT ON THE NEWS.  Obama's pastor is more important.  Have we lost the plot or what?

OH LET THEM EAT CAKE.

Stop it now while the elite have their feast and let you pick the crumbs.

Soon the crumbs will seem as if they were squab and not the nibs alone.

God bless them, and keep them, and make them humble, and be asked to

share their bounty with the pious and meek.

And if they not abide by the beneficent god then let them be sent to

perdition for their transgressions by the vengeful god!

 

Wolfie is on the sidelines with a box of bon bons awaiting the start of

Sociopaths

are not inner directed by conscience, nor are they outer directed by pleasing others.  They are only directed by the game.

Hill will raise Billo's taxes

Oh me, oh my! She said his taxes would go from 32%? to 39%. Ha. What a joke. Frank Sinatra paid 90 cents of every dollar in taxes and he was still a rich man. Can't Americans see that Bush's policies have totally rewarded the rich while our bridges crumble, our education sinks down to 23rd in the world, our healthcare is 37th in the world yet we spend more than double on healthcare than ANYONE in the world.

Rupert Murdoch contributes to Hillary's campaign so is there any reason she WOULDN'T go on Fixtnews? Come on, wake up America! Hillary IS a republican with a democrat skirt. I read where one out of every 50 American makes $250,000 a yr or more. That means that 60 million Americans are rich! That means all of us fall in the "have nots" category. That's 240,000 ppl.

Oh well. They have been eating GOOD food (not poisoned China crap); therefore, they will taste yummy when the day comes and we have to eat the rich! I'll pass on the O'Reilly platter. I think he is one of the most arrogant SOB's I have ever heard speak in all of my life.

Hillary Clinton and Bill O'Reilly

Let's come down to Earth. The (ELITE) in Washington dont live like us poor folks. they dont know what it is to get up at 4 to 5 AM every day  for a slaves pay.  The idiot president said the other day in his news conference that times were rough and we will get through the worst of times. BOY does this idiot and all the other political idiot's in Washington know what bad times are???????????? i dont think so. all working people in america busting there bottom working 2 and 3 JOBS in order to make a living should trade places with these morons. I like to see the king George Bush and Dick Head Cheney along with Hillary and that baboon rest of the politicans work 16 hours a day for peanuts. these idiots were born RICH. This is what happens when people let governments get out of control. if this population had any god given sense, they would get rid of all this CRAP in Washington, now not next year. trouble is the majority of people in America are to STUPID to act and are spineless to overthrow all these  parasite's out of our government.

Idiots.

I often hear Bush and the other politicians being called idiots, well they may well be but they're super rich idiots, they're the ones calling the shots and about 290 million are dancing to their tune. They organised a false flag and even today despite all the evidence some idiots still think 19 Arabs did it.

 How many Americans believe  some mystic figure in the sky is going to grant them wishes if they would only get on their knees and grovel. What would a person think of all this idiocy having been brought up in isolation without idiotic influences.

 It's because people just can't think for themselves that they get herded into a pen, have to work at 3 jobs and still can't make ends meet.

 One thing you can be sure of is the Clintons and the Bush's will laugh all the way to the bank if you believe one word they spout.

 Then we get this idiotic statement, Liberals, what in the USA, are you kidding, and a Liberal press, do idiots who make statements like Liberal press in the USA know what a Liberal press is. There is no such thing in the USA as Liberals, they don't exist only in the minds of the right wing who fear liberalism so much they turn it into a dirty word and the idiotic masses fall for it.

 You don't have to tell people who are FREE that they are free, they would know it despite being idiots. The USA despite its' immense wealth is a poor nation and that will not change until liberal values are adopted and religion put in the same catagory as Voodoo and reading tea leaves.
