Man owed $500 by Clinton Camp finally gets it; Donates it to Obama because he's ticked
A Portsmouth, N.H., landlord says he finally received his check for $500 for a five-day stay by volunteers for Hillary Clinton’s campaign in January.

But the ordeal — which included leaving his warehouse property trashed with campaign signs – left him sore, so he’s donating the cash to Barack Obama’s campaign.

“It was the last straw for Hillary Clinton for me,” Terry Bennett told the Portsmouth Herald.

Click here to read the full report in the Portsmouth Herald.

Bennett’s missing reimbursement wasn’t the only one, the Herald found. An Iowa businessman told the paper he’s owed more than $7,000 by the campaign.

The campaign — which recently revealed it was strapped for cash in January but has since made fundraising strides — told the paper all money owed will be paid, but there have been a few “isolated delays,” and the New Hampshire campaign director said she regretted the condition in which Bennett’s property was left.

1. Campaigns routinely take 2 years to repay debts. NO KIDDING. nt

2. Pretty funny
but indicative I think of what has been going on inside that campaign. The staff shakeup hopefully will help avoid things like this in the future.

5. Well, i've never been one to Post 200 threads a day.... so I don't see it as a waste at all.
In fact, I think the only thing WASTED in this thread - was the poor mans rental space that he rented to the Clinton Camp.

And: Ignore. :) Thanks!

12. I'm sorry - is the Clinton News Network now the only news you'll consider "worthy"?
Because, I guess Clinton supporters aren't really keen on MSNBC too.

But, alas - the friggin STORY was acurate.. you just don't like stories that show your politician in a negative (but yet acurate) light?

Wow - now instead of attacking the story, we go after what website it came from when we don't like it.

13. Clinton News Network....hmm another Rushie phrase coupled with a defense of Fauxnews
"But, alas - the friggin STORY was acurate.. you just don't like stories that show your politician in a negative (but yet acurate) light?"

Were you unable to find another source or is FoixNews just part of your regular propaganda upload?

"Wow - now instead of attacking the story, we go after what website it came from when we don't like it."

Yes, that journalistic juggernaut that is FoxNews which on the radio just did a side by side of Hitler & Obama speeches to "compare" the two.

Anything to attack the Clintons...even right wing garbage. How sad.

15. Sorry can't hear you over your defense of FoxNews.
Especially since this story was apparently posted quite a few times already with none using the FoxNews source.

So why not find a different source? Why the need to defend FoxNews?

16. Defending Fox? Show me where I defended Fox? I pulled a story that was
entirely accurate from the source it was shown to me. Instead of going after the story - which you can't do because it's entirely accurate, you instead go after ME for posting from a large news website that You don't like.

Typical Clinton tactics.. ignoor the fact - attack the propaganda you can create.

And you don't need to reply to this.. you're on ignoor. I have no problem discussing issues, politics, etc. with people who have different views from mine - but I don't like having words mixed up and thrown back in my face... things like "I defended Fox news" when I clearly did no such thing.

So.. adios.. go fight someone else sweetheart. And good luck to Clinton - she's gonna need it.

17. So you like FoxNews?
"you instead go after ME for posting from a large news website that You don't like. "

I thought we all don;t like FoxNews, can we not include you now?

And yes I brought up the source because there's enough right wing garbage floating around. Who wants Fox's bullshit spin on the story when other sources have obviously covered it.

As far as your defending FoxNews? You offered up the Rushie phrase of Clinton New Network as and insinuated it was somehow less reliable than Fox.

"And you don't need to reply to this.. you're on ignoor. I have no problem discussing issues, politics, etc. with people who have different views from mine - but I don't like having words mixed up and thrown back in my face... things like "I defended Fox news" when I clearly did no such thing."

I don't care if you run away just stop listening to Rush and stop reading FoxNews.

20. Here's your defense of FoxNews!



"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans. I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."---Paul Wellstone
