Is that fiscal responsibility?

So Hillary had to loan herself $5 million in order to be competitive on Super Tuesday. And the rumors are that many of her staffers had to work for free leading up to Super Tuesday. And the end result is a tie with Barack Obama.

So here we have a candidate that is accepting money from lobbyists and PACs and Special Interest groups and she still doesn't have enough to run her campaign. A candidate who is so broke her paid supporters had to become volunteer supporters. A candidate that is expecting the public to believe she can manage the economy of the country. When the government runs out of money, you cannot just ask the people to work for free.

Barack Obama raised more than twice as much money as she did in January. And he did not get any of it from PACs or Lobbyists or Special Interest groups. His paid staffers continue to be paid staffers. He is ready for the stretch run because he has spent wisely. That says a lot about his ability to manage this country's economy.
