Clinton Cash

Sitting here listening to Margot Williams talk about how she and other reporters have tracked the Clintons’ finances brings to mind the recent reports about the couples’ tax filing.  No matter how the media might attempt to detail just how much money the Clintons make, how they get it and the way they are spending it, questions always remain.  This is due in part, I think, to the Clintons’ shrewd maneuvering of their financial records.  But it’s also due to the limited amount of information available to the public, even when one does know all the ins and outs of the kind of web stalking we’ve been learning about in the seminar.  This information, however, is important.  And now especially.  Clinton has taken the role of the underdog, repeatedly referring to Obama’s more abundant campaign funds but one continues to wonder, is her campaign really in as much financial trouble as she is claiming?
