too late-  the Clintons and Obamah have aready done it-  The Clintons and Obamahs arrived in DC with modest means during which time they have been" public servants"  yet the Clintons are now worth over 100 million $ s and Obama s  millions more than when they arrived

LOL.  You are talking like that is a new thing.  The revolving door of everyone from presidents down to lowly house reps giving speeches for mega bucks and/or being hired onto boards of mega corps is something that has been going on for DECADES. DECADES. Obama hasn't even left office yet, he isn't worth the millions the Clintons are.  Get your facts straight.

What I was talking about is the new norm where what once was outright bribary is now just business as usual, thanks to the supreme court.  Repubs and demos are currently just exploiting the new normal.  To not exploit it is to lose and neither one wants to lose.

Isaid the Obamahs are worth millions more than when they arrived in DC-  not millions more than the Clintons-

influence pedling is not new in DC and of course there have been too many pols that have taken straight out bribes-  but there have not been any presidents in the last 40+ yrs that have flat out sold the white house like the Clintons for direct  personal gain
