With Hillary it's never enough!

#Hillary Clinton's campaign is sending out letters to donors asking
permission to roll a $2,300 contribution to Clinton's 2008 general
election coffers to her 2012 senate election fund instead of offering a
refund.
The letter, read to me by one recipient, includes a photocopy of a
handwritten note from Clinton that says, "Dear friend, your commitment
has meant so much to me over the course of my presidential campaign.
You were there for me when I needed you the most and I'll never forget
it. I hope you'll help me continue to fight for the issues and causes
we believe in by filling out the enclosed form in support of Friends of
Hillary."
The form says, "I hereby verify that my 2008 general election
contribution may be designated to the 2012 Senate election. I designate
the entire amount to the 2012 primary election. However if I have
already contributed to the 2012 primary, I designate any amount in
excess of $2,300 to the 2012 general election."
"If we do not hear back from you by August 28 2008 we will automatically refund your contribution."
This donor, at least, had no intention of signing. "Of course I'm going to get my money back," the donor told me.
Is Hillary ever satisfied? At what point is enough money enough?
In the end, the saddest part of Hillary's historic run for the presidency will be that Hillary once again had to go to a man to help bail her out financially. Without Obama's support and his willingness to buy her voters by eliminating her debts (to herself), Hillary would be financially ruined. On top of that, she now wants to roll her presidential donations into her Senate coffers.
When will enough be enough?
