Was Hillary's financial relevations her Oral Roberts
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 04:18 PM by ProSense
moment?

Edited to add:

JT: There's a lot in the news today that a lot of your senior staff are forgoing salaries. And also that you've loaned your campaign five million dollars from your own personal funds. Is this not an indication that your campaign is having some financial difficulties? I mean on its face it would see to be the case, no?

HC: No, not at all. We were outraised in January which we took steps immediately to address. And I think the results on Super Tuesday showed that we were more than competitive. Since Tuesday we’ve raised millions of dollars on the Internet. So we're going to be fine. And you know my staff is so dedicated that they stepped up and said we want to do our part. I did my part. But we're going to be in very good financial shape, people are rallying around. And I think by the end of the week we're going to be back on track.

2. I think ProSense is suggesting that Hillary did this, and made it public
to ignite or guilt her supporters into action. As if she is saying, "if you don't give me money, I'm not going to make it."

3. But how does that relate to Oral Roberts? (I must be missing something here).

4. Here:
LEAD: Oral Roberts and God have settled their accounts. The television evangelist's loyal audience contributed close to $5 million after Mr. Roberts warned that unless he collected the money he needed for medical missionary work, God would ''call him home.''

5. Aha! Boy, that would make me sit on my wallet, for sure!
Thanks -

:hi:
I remember my father telling a joke about Oral Roberts, that my father bought one of his faith-healing albums (a 33 1/3 rpm)
but he couldn't play it, because the hole kept healing up...
