Maria Bartiromo's interview with Hillary Clinton 2007.12.05

[JosephHuntington]

How does government still exist? PLEASE tell me.

[xzelaya]

Peacespeech, someone was clueless about the problem, but it wasn't Hillary. She understood the problem back in 2007. $5 billion dollars! In 2008 Bush's TARP: $800 billion because he sat on his hands.

[Marbo2U]

Giving out money to people is not the answer. Hillary Clinton is pushing a big govt agenda like the Obamanation. No to big government.

[jpgkorea]

Overall, I found her analysis of what should have been done during that point in time (since we are clearly on a very different economic landscape now) very informative and offered a solution. However, I found it funny at 1:55 when she was asked where the money would come from and the response was "well, it's gonna come from where it comes from" What?! LOL.

[xzelaya]

jpgkorea, Hillary proposed $5 billion (peanuts) back in 12/07 to fix the problem. If you've not lost your job, maybe you are still laughing, but many people who could have benefited from Hillary's wisdom and foresight are not laughing. She was the best candidate. Oh well, at least she is SoS and will do a great job there.

[jpgkorea]

Let me be more clear. I didn't find the plan funny; I found the plan very clearly explained, very solid and I felt that it offered an actual feasible solutioin. I just thought that moment at 1:55 that I said was funny; was awkward not ha ha funny but awkward; but Hilary moved past it because of her gravitas and knowledge on the situation.

[kyleAkuhn]

lol Dylan R. is sooo funny in this!. I cant belive Hillary actually thinks that anyone (like me) who watches CNBC would vote for her my god anyone who is pro free-market (everyone who watches cnbc) votes republican!

[Duckthunda]

dear God this is the first time i've heard Hillary say anything that made any sense. can't just blame the barrowers and be done with it. since nafta has destroyed the manufacturing base, the people won't be able to spend their way out of this recession. I mean comon, big corporations are constantly bailed out with huge subsidies all the time, no one says "market discipline" to them.

[jbingham007]

Congress wasn't blind to this. They were riding the high like everyone else. No that things went in reverse, everyones is to blame.

[DCUPtoejuice]

Bartiromo is 5 million times smarter than Hillary. This is insanity! She should be running for president, not this collectivist!

[DCUPtoejuice]

Bartiromo has one thing right. No bailing out unscrupulous lenders and borrowers.

[olamapsa]

She's communist-type micro manager with overgrown ego syndrome.

[HollywoodWags]

Her new idea is to enforce spirit and a sense of meritocracy by removing the incentive to make enough money that you can help out your kids.

She is a complete moron.

Does anybody really think that little Chelsea will be left high and dry and not get a taste of all that Clinton wealth? The Kennedy kids?

Liberals are some of the most greediest little pigs I've ever had the displeasure of knowing.

Ridiculous.

[cyberscribe]

Chairman Mao called and he wants his jacket back!

[cyberscribe]

Is this really the smartest woman in the world? Heaven help us.

[Jitpring]

"Let's be honest about the problem and what caused it." Does this include failing to place due responsibility on borrowers who lied about their income? Is there a single candidate who's unwilling to pander for votes?

[Jitpring]

"It's gonna come from where it comes from." This is how a brilliant mind speaks?

[rustEshakelford]

HORSESHIT! This two-faced bitch can lie like no other. A 90 day freeze on rates, and a freeze on foreclosures helps the banks AGAIN! The only way out of this problem is to simply allow your home to go into foreclosure and let the lenders take the loss. 2 years from now no one will hold you accountable for this foreclosure and prices will have fallen back to where they were in 2003. Where they should be! The prices have to fall.

[carcabe]

Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who doesn't want to run the country. Just the executive branch of the federal government. None of the others can even see a difference. And they desperately want to run the country, i.e., you.

[aquinn5234]

why would i want to vote for a president that doesnt want to run the country?

[nftc]

Hitlery wants YOU to share responsibility for the flippers and get-rich-quickers.

[laddyboy123]

What happened to her southern accent?

I couldn't follow her at all, she needs to do a better job memorizing her lines.

[RioDJNarrow]

Control Control Control... Spend Spend Spend

Retard

[InTheSticks1881]

The proposal will not stop our economy from cratering. The vicious cycle has already begun and is far too big to stop. It is transferring the debt from the homeowner to the government. Regardless, it is still debt which will be paid for by further dilution of the value of the dollar via the Fed printing more funny money. This means the dollar will continue to collapse and we will have hyper-inflation and a severe recession, and possibly worse.

Only Ron Paul has the answers.

[wandrinbee]

This is so far the best interview of Hillary Clinton. Maria Bartiromo poses probing questions with good follow up questions. She didn't give Hillary much wiggle room, which is just what I want, especially when the subject is money - OUR money!!! It's clear Hillary doesn't have as good a grasp on money as Maria does, yet she prattled on and on!

[catelong]

A+ for Maria...

Let her moderate a presidential debate...

Clinton should go back to the Senate... no one wants her as president...

[Jitpring]

Agreed. By today's abysmal standards, Maria's performance was stellar. Let her noderate all the "debates" (they're not really debates, friends).

[clawfish1]

she shudda got katie courics job,katie is a chipmunk

[buhrd]

Maria wasn't afraid to ask a tough question. You could hear the anger ACHING to get out of Hillary. She's evil, don't be fooled!

This is typical "push-the-blame" tactics from a liberal. There's no self-responsibility. It's never YOUR fault.

Liberal fiscal policy: We want to make everyone equally rich/happy.

Reality: We make everyone equally miserable.

Liberal policies are the definition of irony. They always achieve the exact opposite result of the intended one.

She is clueless.

[buhrd]

"stubbornly continues 2 pursue failed policies that weakens the economy"

I'm sorry but when has communism EVER worked?

[0613162k]

It's not communism at all, its a very innovative approach of a public private partnership (not finacial bailouts, but advice 2 indivviduals & working with private sector 2 provide alternate managable schemes). Please b open minded and look up "Senator Clinton's Remarks on Subprime Lending to the NCRC" speech in March 2007 on youtube. At least she's willing 2 address the economic challenges at an individual and national level.

[iiiichaos]

she looks like a robot

[wearethesame]

SHE IS COMPLETELY CLUELESS!!!!

[PizzaGod]

She has no clue to what she is doing.

[michaelait]

Shared responsibility?? NO ONE CAN BE A VICTIM!

HA HA HAHA HA HAHAHA

[niginit]

i love how all the candidates ( with ron paul being the exception) reffer to politics as a dishonest and bad thing. let's not "play politics".

and when she says the emergency funding, she means the public's wallet.

[framecut]

HOLY SH!T!!!!

This interview did the rare thing: Asked a REAL QUESTION.

I *HEART* BARTIROMO!!!!!

I wish everyone could see this video. It really shows Clinton's BIG GOVERNMENT plans.

[0613162k]

Your current administration ignores that problems exist & stubbornly continues 2 pursue failed policies that weakens the economy & allows individuals economic circumstances 2 deteriorate. Hillary's making a sincere effort 2 understand the current economic problems and is being open minded to search for bipartisan practical solutions 2 help US individuals & the economy. Being negative & critical isn't constructive, & abandons USA's legacy as the nation that overcomes challenges 2 make progress.

[4dr3n41in3]

Quit meddling in the market, Comrade Hillary. No one put a gun to the heads of these ppl and forced them to borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars they could never pay back. They gambled on interest rates and lost bigtime. Quit trying to protect ppl from themselves...using our money!

The govt. is not a giant money bag with enough for everyone...our debt surpasses 9 trillion. I pity the generation that will actually have to tackle the debt.

[alexpasch]

She's so ignorant when it comes to economics/finance.

I'm all for socialist policies, when we can afford it; but the sad reality is that we can't!!!!

[cityview1989]

Its the rich against the middle and lower class. Slowly but surely unless Ron Paul is president.

Hillary Clinton = Pro-torture/war and not giving us Habeas Corpus

[HollywoodWags]

She is so incompetent, really.

Her anger comes across as well.

Compare this lightweight with Margaret Thatcher...

I thought that a super smart person like her wouldn't have an annoying verbal tic, like "uh".

People like her wanted the banks to make these loans, now they don't want them to do it.

So damned stupid on economics...but I work with someone who is over 40 and doesn't understand inflation, so I can see how they get into power.

[peacespeech]

She's so completly clueless..

[j3x11]

She is such a tool. What is that in her back pocket? Is that big business?

She has no idea about economics. If she did she would suggesting an overhaul of the Federal Reserve.

"Where is that money going to come from?" "From where it comes from?"!?!?!

[griethcpa]

With respect to a freeze on adjustable rate mortgages she says "up to five years, at least".

Up to five years - a maximum.

At least - a minimum.

Which is it? This lady has no idea what she is talking about.

[gibsoncray]

Hillary is strait up evil in the interview and clueless. How are you going to laugh at the questions of one of the most respected women in investing and commerce? Hillary looks like a total idiot here. And I am a Democrat. No wonder Republicans can't stand her. Democrats better think long and hard about the electibility of someone as condescending as Hillary is in this interview.

[RonPaulTheMan]

she said home boners...lololol

[NeonKnight88]

"shared responsibility"

I think marx would approve with this

[travisalger]

HAHAH! By Hillary's thinking if people were just not so FREE we wouldn't have these types of problems. She wants to use the housing problem (created by the Fed not lying banks like she implies) to show everyone how much better government control is than the alternative. The USSR thought the same way, and with her wise guidance we will one day be as prosperous as them.

[travisalger]

HAHAHAHAH! she's asked: "Where is that 5 Billion going to come from?"

answer: "It's gonna come from where it's gonna come from."  Vote 4 Hillary, she is ready to spend every cent you and your children will earn. She understands why you have financial problems. Giver her your paycheck and she will solve your neighbor's problems.

[wreakon]

It's like they are beyond just helping people. They seem to be so interested in helping that they just pring money out of think air and say HERE YA GO! Oh, yeah... you know they say money doesn't grow on trees... well ... maybe that's also why people never used leaves as currency!

[UnderseaCaveman]

The other anchor making faces cracks me up!

Hillary is freakin' clueless!

[ddstar]

I'll summarize:

"We need to look out how we can fix this."

Just listen again and listen for those words. You will be surprised.
