The Clintons Rake It In

Bill and Hillary Clinton earned an astounding $109 million in the last eight years since leaving the White House. Of that amount, Bill Clinton raked in upwards of $250,000 per speech, totally almost $52 million. The question is, what in the hell did he say that merited that kind of money? An ancillary but no less important question is, when you're in the Clintons' earnings and tax bracket, how much empathy can you reasonably have for those white working class Democrats who don't think Barack Obama speaks to their concerns?
