Hillary still $ 24 Million in debt : Obama just laughs & laughs

CNN) - Well over two months have passed since Hillary Clinton formally
abandoned her White House bid, but newly-released Federal Election
Commission reports show the New York senator has made little headway in
paying off her sizeable campaign debt.
According to an FEC report filed Wednesday, Clinton's debt as of the end of
July stood at just under $24 million - a decrease of only $1.2 million since
the end of June. More than $13 million of that total is owed to the New York
senator herself, while close to $11 million is owed to individual vendors.
Clinton has suggested she is not seeking to pay back the money she owes
herself.

The report also shows Clinton was only able to raise $2 million in the month
of July - down from close to $3 million in June. By comparison, Barack Obama
raised over $50 million for his White House bid in the same time period.

The report comes as some high-profile Clinton backers have expressed
disappointment Obama has not made more of an effort to help his onetime
rival retire her campaign debt.

"He has provided her with a pittance compared to what the Clintons have
given Obama," prominent Clinton backer Lynn Forrester told the Times of
London. "Her debt could have been cleared within 10 days. It's ungracious."

Obama and Clinton have appeared at a handful of joint fundraising events,
and the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has publicly urged his
supporters to donate to his former primary season rival - though at a joint
appearance with Clinton at a July fundraiser, the Illinois senator forgot to
call on his backers to contribute to her. (He later went back on stage to
correct himself.)

According to Clinton's disclosure forms filed Thursday, she owes the most
($5.2 million) to her former top advisor Mark Penn's polling/political
consulting firm, Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates.

I missed the part in the story where it says that ""Obama laughed and
laughed".

He's got to hold something back in order to control the Clintoons.
That's why he's laughing.

Is he laughing at Hillary or is he laughing at all the guilty white
liberal eggheads that he thinks he has fooled?
