Clintons' earnings exceed $100m

[kappa84]

Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton and her husband, ex-President Bill Clinton, have revealed they earned more than $100m (£50m) in eight years.

Since 2000, the former first couple took in nearly $110m, with more than $20m made in 2007, and gave more than $10m to charity in the same period.

Almost half of the income was made from the former president's speeches.

I better brush up on my speech making techniques then eh?

I've heard about this before and think pretty low about it. President Clinton was paid to give speeches, that is just shallow. I mean what kind of a political figure takes money for speeches. It should come from the heart. It only shows he's not for the people but for himself and I wouldn't doubt it if Hilary was the same way.
