Title: Bill Clinton was paid 2.1 million by struggling banks

Bill paid 2.1 million from banks to give speeches.  That's money well spent

Bubba knows how to use his name recognition to raise money for public speaking...he does not do anything out of charity.  And, to paraphrase from the Chairman of Citigroup when asked about the naming rights of the new Mets baseball stadium, 'that was a different time and circumstance'.

We need to tell mr citi bank that it was a different time and circumstance when we ran up our credit card bills.  When I charged all that stuff I knew I could pay it back, now not so much.

The Captial One Bowl 2002, at halftime Auburn was losing; I was so mad I called and closed my Capital One card.

That's debt management right there.

Well...you could apply to incorporate yourself as a bank then, perhaps, you might be able to get a piece of the bailout money pie...or get a little taste of bailout cake...maybe.

I did the same with my Citi card a few years back when they hacked me off by screwing up my mortgage escrow account.
