The correct response...

"Unfortunately, this is not my decision as both the transcript as well as any video of my appearance are the property of Goldman Sachs, the firm that paid for that content. I will, however, at this time publicly ask Goldman Sachs to release both the transcript and the video of my appearances. I hope they will be able to honor my request".

Interestingly...if they do honor her request, she's probably more in debt to them than she is today.

she is bought and paid for by the banks.

So in the end who should have the final say?

famous people give speeches.
that horrible right winger Eric Boehlert from Media Matters took a few seconds to look up other famous people who have given speeches for GS.
Ballerinas, Generals, athletes, CEOs, philanthropists, and yes, some politicians
get over it.

when will we learn the lesson of
"There's not a dime's worth of difference between Al Gore and George Bush"?

Won't be surprised if a cell phone recording by a Repub in these gilded rooms leaks out.

maybe enough people were paying attention who may have been leaning HC, but are sick of anyone associated with Wall St.

Perhaps her decline in the national polls reflect this disgust.
