SubscribeHsu Wrote “Suicide” Letters Blaming Obama
From the DNC’s Los Angeles Times:
Hsu letter appeared to be suicide note
The fundraiser sent it on the day of his second disappearance. In it, he apologized to those to whom he donated.
By Dan Morain
September 13, 2007On the day he disappeared, Norman Hsu, the disgraced fundraiser for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s presidential campaign, sent letters to friends that recipients viewed as a suicide note, people familiar with the letter have said.
In his letter, Hsu apologized for any embarrassment he had caused recipients of his largesse. In the last four years, he has generated donations of more than $1 million for Democratic politicians across the country.
Hsu’s undoing began two weeks ago with articles raising questions about his fundraising activities in the Wall Street Journal and about a criminal case in his past in The Times. In his letter, said a person familiar with its contents who asked to remain anonymous, Hsu contended that those articles were planted “by a politician who pledged ‘hope and change’ ” — an apparent reference to Sen. Barack Obama, Clinton’s main rival for the Democratic presidential nomination.
“This is a sad and baseless allegation,” Obama spokesman Bill Burton said. “We had no knowledge of his past criminal behavior, fugitive status or a potential straw-donor scheme until reading it in the newspaper.” …
What a laugh.

A “suicide” note that includes an allegation against Clinton’s closest rival? Seems like a two for one deal here (not unlike the major selling point of her campaign)!

I am shocked that Hsu lived - I still would put money on the fact that he will not live to see the inside of a court room - I guess suicide is out - so expect an accident quite soon.
Imagine that Hsu blamed Obama - how utterly convenient for Clinton - had to make sure America knew who to blame.
Hsu the gift that keeps on giving. I emailed my newest Senator to ask when he was going to return his Hsu donation - he is amazingly silent on this matter. I wonder why?!?/sarc/

Gotta love the Clinton’s! When THEY break the law THEY are always the VICTIMS. It’s like a 60’s top 40 radio station, we keep playing the same old tunes over and over and over again. Looks like DeJa Vu all over again.

A great 30 second spot would be a collage of:
Mistakes were made.
When I found out.
The moment it happened, I knew.
Really, & we want to give the nuclear weapons back to these guys???
