    You could retake 4th grade math, too. $50-$100=$50 in debt. When they left the white house, they were underwater. That's all she said.

    You are fundamentally foul in the head.

    Or...

    You are willfully being obtuse.

    You know full well the context of her statements was to "relate" to broke ass Americans.

    It is funny you keep point back to the context. Her context was the very opposite of the "literal" meaning and your math.......

    "A few weeks before they left the White House, the Clintons were able to muster a cashdown payment of $855,000 and secure a $1.995 million mortgage. This hardly fits the common meaning of "dead broke.""

    Broke means you have no assets but you still have a job or source of income. Dead broke means you have no money and no job. Your relatives are helping you pay the rent and if it wasn't for food stamps your family would go hungry.

    The morning after the Sawyer interview, Hillary tried to splain.....
    "We understand what that struggles I, because we had student debts, both of us, we had to pay off," Clinton told ABC's Robin Roberts. "I had a couple of jobs in law school. He had a lot of jobs. We have a life experiences that's clearly different in very dramatic ways from many Americans, but also we have gone through some of the same challenges as many people have"

    The fuck she wasn't attempting to relate to the common man.

    And of course, compounded by the following official statement....
    "Clinton's spokesperson Nick Merrill reiterated this sentiment in a statement to the Washington Post: "Whoever thinks she has lost touch is clearly not in touch with her or her long-held beliefs. If they were, they'd know that reducing inequality and increasing upward mobility has been an uninterrupted pursuit of hers through every job she's held and continues to this day in her work at the Clinton Foundation"

    And later.....
    "During an interview with longtime friend and former Bill Clinton adviser, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, ribbed Hillary Clinton on the remark.

    "Dead broke," Emanuel said to Clinton. "Really?"

    To some audience laughter at the event for Chicago Ideas Week, Clinton admitted her word choice was not ideal.

    "That may have not been the most artful way of saying that Bill and I have gone through a lot of different phases in our lives. That was then, this is now. Obviously, we are very fortunate. We've been given great opportunities," Clinton said.

    She added that she and Bill Clinton have been "through ups and downs like a lot of people," but that "clearly, we're very grateful for the opportunities we've had"

    And of course, later that month....
    "Hillary Clinton took a third stab at clarifying her "dead broke" comment by insisting that she's not "truly well off" and that at least she pays her taxes.

    "'But they don't see me as part of the problem,' she protests, 'because we pay ordinary income tax, unlike a lot of people who are truly well off, not to name names; and we've done it through dint of hard work,"


    O.....M.....G.

    I know nothing the kind. Tell me exactly what she said that makes you imagine this. Be specific. Good luck with that. That is what Rush Limbaugh said, not Hillary.

    Then you can't read either.

    No Red, She said it:

    ""You have no reason to remember, but we came out of the White House not only dead broke, but in debt," Clinton said. "We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to piece together the resources for mortgages for houses, for Chelsea's education. It was not easy. Bill has worked really hard. And it's been amazing to me. He's worked very hard.""

    "But we also have gone through some of the same challenges many people have."


    Such a struggle to buy multi million dollar homes.


    What sad is Red, Clinton actually said she "regrets" saying it like that yet you defend her.


    You go a thing for old crusty women?

    This is what we call a true statement. What did she actually say that you consider a lie?

    OK, a statement by somebody else on another topic. Next.

    This is what we call a true statement. Where is the lie?

    And now you simply misquote her. OMG! But you are not the only one who leapt to an incorrect assumption.

    She simply didn't say that she was "not truly well off". She said that she pays ordinary income taxes, unlike a lot of other truly well off people. She obviously includes Bill and herself in that category.
