Student Leaders Ask Hillary To Return ‘Outrageous’ $225,000 School Speaking Fee Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/student-leaders-ask-hillary-to-return-speaking-fee-2014-6#ixzz35t123IaD
Before you read this article, I need to point out that Kathy and I spent about four months in the Palms Springs area three years ago. While there we attended Mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Rancho Mirage. This church had a school which had an annual fundraising dinner and auction. Barbara Bush was the keynote speaker at a similar event at a similar Christian school in the area. It turned out that the speaker at the event at Sacred Heart was non other than George W. Bush. He charged no fees for his presentation and his participation was not announced until after the event had sold out. Shows the difference in basic philosophies of some people doesn’t it.
Two top student government leaders at the University of Las Vegas are requesting Hillary Clinton return the “outrageous” $225,000 speaking fee she reportedly will receive for an upcoming speech at the school in October.
In a video circulated by the national Republican Party Friday, Elias Benjelloun, the UNLV student body president, and Daniel Waqar, the student government’s public relations director, slammed the university’s foundation for paying Clinton so much for the event.
“We really appreciate anybody who would come to raise money for the university. But anybody who’s being paid $225,000 to come speak, we think that’s a little bit outrageous. And we’d like Secretary Clinton — respectfully — to gracefully return the money to the university or the foundation,” Waqar said on the Nevada political program “Ralston Reports.”
Benjelloun echoed Waqar’s remarks.
“When we heard $225,000, we weren’t so thrilled,” he said. “We would hope that Hillary Clinton commits to higher education … and returns part or whole of the amount she receives for speaking.”
Clinton, an expected front-runner in the 2016 Democratic presidential contest, has had her wealth come under increasing scrutiny in recent weeks. Despite being a reported multimillionaire, Clinton has stumbled through several gaffes, including an interview where she insisted she was not “truly well off.”
Clinton and the UNLV did not immediately return requests for comment. The money is reportedly going to Clinton’s foundation rather than directly to her.
Agree, Professor.
What do you expect from a school , where the x coach eats and sucks on towels……. think……..”Tark “
I wouldn’t pay a single cent to hear her speak. Maybe I would pay not to hear her speak. Who’s money is it that is going to paid to her?
I meant whose money?
But she’s broke! She needs the money; didn’t you hear her say how poor and common she is?
She nerds to wash her mouth out with soap.
IF SHE IS A NERD……she will eat the soap……….
“Common” does not begin to cover this woman! Trusting what she says, or doesn’t say, is always an issue when describing Mrs. Clinton.
Yep!
SPOT ON JOHN…………….
If you think George W. is a stand-up individual you’re delusional. They’re all crooked. Hillary appears to be wicked to her core, but comparing her to the W doesn’t get us anywhere.
Just an observation Catfish.
I will repost this radio program on the weekend show, but here it is now for all, christians, foil hats, goldbugs, and curious folks.
This show contains one of the mostly-true packed-information shows I have heard in the last year. At least for the first 35 minutes.

JUST ANOTHER SICK JOKE…………from a SICK MIND…………….
THE PICTURE LOOKS LIKE A ………MUG SHOT
is the clinton foundation tax exempt?
Remember that Clinton, Bush, Obama and now this Clinton is backed by Wall Street. Follow the money and do not elect or retain those that work for the Central Banking System. Go outside the mainstream or be ready to expect more of the same from these hired politicians. Their goal is to destroy the sovereignty of nations with central control by the wealthy. That is a feudal system and that is who we keep sending to Washington. Dump them.
Clearly UNLV is not being resposible in its use of Funds. Alas, Typical of many liberal institutions. I did not have the impression that UNLV was that liberal, but I really don’t know much beyond the quality of their basketball team. I hope that is the last time in my life I ever sound like a president of the US. Agh, talking about basketball.
