What Clinton said in her paid speeches to Goldman Sachs (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/02/clinton-speeches-218969).

No transcripts yet. But people who attended are talking to Politico.


When Hillary Clinton spoke to Goldman Sachs executives and technology titans at a summit in Arizona in October of 2013, she spoke glowingly of the work the bank was doing raising capital and helping create jobs, according to people who saw her remarks.

Clinton, who received $225,000 for her appearance, praised the diversity of Goldman’s workforce and the prominent roles played by women at the blue-chip investment bank and the tech firms present at the event. She spent no time criticizing Goldman or Wall Street more broadly for its role in the 2008 financial crisis.






“It was pretty glowing about us,” one person who watched the event said. “It’s so far from what she sounds like as a candidate now. It was like a rah-rah speech. She sounded more like a Goldman Sachs managing director.”

I think they call that pandering. Unheard of in political circles.

[Common Sense]

Probably the first time a politician spoke to people and told them what they want to hear. I say we burn her as a witch!!!

[texan]

She is a liar, that is clear.

[Peter1469]

She does tell people what they want to hear.

[Common Sense]

She does tell people what they want to hear.

Virtually all politicians do.

[Safety]

She is a liar, that is clear.

Pantsuit on fire!

[Bo-4]

Yeah, all paid speakers (especially politicians) pander.

The question is whether she promised them something if elected president or let their money influence a vote.

Bo Bets Yes

[texan]

Fine line between lying and pandering. Clinton is a bold face liar.

[The Xl]

Hillary is a bought establishment candidate who is completely subservient to bankers and wall street

[texan]

Not according to her, she is so far from the establishment its liek crazy man. Didn't hear her the past few weeks? Bernie is the establishment.


You see, this is how she gets a bad reputation. Embrace yourself Billary and stop pandering/lying.

[texan]

BTW the last guy that tried to pull the old switcheroo on the voters:

That is right. There is also a public corruption investigation going on.

[del]

someone should start a thread about that

I think he was anti-establishment. Here is a better pic of him.

She spent no time criticizing Goldman or Wall Street more broadly for its role in the 2008 financial crisis.

Why would she criticize Goldman Sachs at a speech to Goldman Sachs, unless that was part of the agreement or something she was asked by them to do ?

[Peter1469]

She claims she isn't Establishment. I guess she just takes their money. :wink:

I wonder when the last GOP politician who was paid to speak at the NRA was critical of the NRA while speaking.

[Mark III]

This thread off to a dead end start. I think the anti Hillary crowd is in a mid season slump.

SANDERS (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/02/05/hillary-clinton-just-suggested-shes-not-establishment-come-on/): So, Rachel, yes, Secretary Clinton does represent the establishment. I represent, I hope, ordinary Americans, and by the way — who are not all that enamored with the establishment. But I am very proud to have people like Keith Ellison and Raul Grijalva in the House, the co-chairmen of the House Progressive Caucus.

MADDOW: Secretary.


CLINTON: Well, look, I've got to just jump in here because, honestly, Sen. Sanders is the only person who I think would characterize me, a woman running to be the first woman president, as exemplifying the establishment. And I've got to tell you that it is ...
(APPLAUSE)

[Mark III]

Sen. Sanders is the only person who I think would characterize me, a woman running to be the first woman president, as exemplifying the establishment.

People here don't always seem to read context very well.
a woman running to be the first woman president

She is claiming the first woman president would be de facto non establishment. You can disagree with her about that, but that was her point, not something else about the "establishment".

[Peter1469]

She is deep Establishment.

I wonder how much $$$ Cruz has received from Goldman Sachs....

[Peter1469]

I wonder how much $$$ Cruz has received from Goldman Sachs....

Probably a lot.

[Common Sense]

It seems to me, the only two people not taking special interest money are Trump and Sanders.

True....and Trump is the only one to admit that he made political donations in return for favors.

besides the million dollar low interest loan?

beats me.

I don't know. Why don't you ask her? She's the one that claimed she criticized them for their role in the 2008 financial crisis and warned them against bad practices.

[Green Arrow]

I wonder how much $$$ Cruz has received from Goldman Sachs....

$58,500 according to OpenSecrets (https://www.opensecrets.org/pres16/contrib.php?cycle=2016&id=N00033085&type=f), but, of course, that doesn't count how much they have given to pro-Cruz SuperPACs because we don't know if they gave to any SuperPACs or by how much.

[SemiteArt]

Cruz is going to win presidential elections. He is the man of the deep state.

Who is the man (or woman) of the shallow state?

[Bo-4]

That is right. There is also a public corruption investigation going on.

Well ya, and there have been HOW many investigations of the Clintons in past 30 years?

Nearly all resulted in nada and have cost taxpayers tens upon tens of millions.

Teflon Bill, Teflon Hill. :)

I dunno, I gotta think at least SOME of it is catching up to her, only way I can explain how hard she's fallen in just a month. Favorability down, support down, trust down, everything is down.

Not that there aren't plenty of other reasons for all of that, just saying.

Her biggest problem? Young folk around your age.

She'll never EVER get them.

You 20 and 30-sometings are wiser than imagined - daughter just turned 20 included - she feels the Bern!

Thanks!
