When You Don't Have the Lincoln Bedroom......

During Bill Clinton's presidency, the Lincoln Bedroom in the White House was essentially rented out by the Clintons to big bucks contributors.  If you gave major money, you got to stay overnight at the White House.  It was sort of a precursor to AirBnB, except this one was BigCashBnB.  The AP is reporting today that when Hillary became secretary of state (and she didn't have the White House anymore), she basically rented out access to her office.  There were over 100 major corporate heads, union leaders and wealthy individuals who Hillary chatted with at length in her office at the State Department.  That comes to one every ten days or so while she was in office.  If you subtract travel time from the total, Hillary Clinton met with political contributors and supporters on roughly one-quarter of the days she held the office.  And before you start wondering if these meeting had anything to do with State Department business, don't worry about it; they didn't.  For example, Hillary met with the head of the United Federation of Teachers at length more than once.  That union has nothing to do with foreign policy.  They can't even claim to be worried that the members' jobs are being sent overseas.

It's truly amazing just how much attention Hillary paid to her political future (and how little to State Department business) while she held office.
