Hillary Clinton "speeches" to Wall Street!

Ooowch! No wonder she doesn't want the the entitled little people reading these.

The following is a leaked transcript of Hillary Clinton’s first speech to Goldman Sachs delivered on 6/04/2013. Two other speeches are also rumored to be in circulation awaiting publication. This is the full transcript. Secretary Clinton received $225,000 for this speech. The speech has not been confirmed or authenticated.

Let me jump right in. You know, over the past few months, there have been popular concerns about an economy that still isn’t delivering for the majority of Americans. It’s not “delivering” the way that they feel it should, that they feel entitled to. Most Americans that you speak to, speak a populist rhetoric that claims it is stacked for those at the top, that those of you here have it too good.

(Laughter)

But we know the hopes that the little people have for their future — things like school, job, food, clothing on their backs– all of those little things would not be possible without your leadership and innovation. Since the time of the Medicis, even before, and the financing of the first joint stock companies in the transatlantic slave trade, we know that finance and banking is what makes our capitalist economy not just grow but tick…

    Previous generations of Americans built this economy and a middle class on a collective illusion: that they do productive work, this creates wealth, and that this builds the economy. We all know how misguided that is. We know that it’s really due to your investing, credit, and economic stewardship, that they have been able to work at all, that they are able to put food on their tables.

    Whoop. Dee. Doo.
    No dynamite there, just an average amount of political pandering.


    As a side note, Democrats are famous to conservatives for circling the wagons and protecting each other. People like Rush are jealous that we have such smooth primaries without the intense infighting that the GOP has.
    If one supports the democrat party, these (rather weak) attacks on Hilary do not benefit Bernie, they benefit the GOP.

    Some people have said that it was your irresponsible financial engineering, risk-taking, and profit-seeking, that led to the 2008 crash; that you shorted your own toxic mortgages in the most brazen securities fraud in financial history, dynamiting and imploding the global economy; and that the exorbitant bonuses paid from tax payer money, the financial bailouts, the non-prosecutions created moral hazard, rewarded avarice, incompetence, corruption and vice. You and I know it is nothing of the sort. As leaders, innovators, captains of finance, you will always be subject of the jealous resentment, the petty tantrums of the unwashed masses, the insolvent, the irresponsible, the invidious, the losers. They will envy you, your successes, they will despise you, but they secretly want to be like you!

    As president, I will work with you to turn the tide of populism, to make these currents of change infeasible, impossible. We don’t hide from change; we subvert, hijack it, appropriate it.

    There is no way that is accurate. It doesn't even attempt to sound like it came from Clinton. It isn't even written as a speech.

    not a bombshell....you can give people credit even while believing their taxes are too low and regulations too lax.

    Spreading this garbage around only helps Clinton when the real transcripts are released and they are not nearly this incendiary.

    Looks fake to me. I would say all that stuff though for $250,000. I may have trouble though turning around and saying I'm fighting for the little guy after getting paid more than the average annual salary for a CEO for an hour of my time. I have a soul at least.

    This is the same strategy that the right used for Benghazi. Leak some anonymous or misleading "source" and then let the internet go free.

    If Gawker has not posted this, which they haven't, it is most definitely not real. They are all over these speeches.

    I would imagine the content of these speeches is pretty damming given how close to the vest she is holding it. You don't get paid over $200k to go trash bankers to their face.

    No offense but this thread really highlights that facts are only important if they conveniently fit an argument or a preferred candidate.

    Hmm, let me try.....Bernie Sanders murders babies and eats kittens.

    Oh this is unconfirmed btw.

    Sorry but I thought it was blatantly obvious plus I went thru the trouble of underlying the most important part.
    wasn't a dead giveaway?

    I thought my disclaimer was pretty clear as well. Just out of curiosity, what was the point given that we all agree it was utter bullshit?

    It just reeks of a hack piece with a disclaimer. Sort of equivalent to telling a long horrifying story only to toss in a disclaimer that it might not be true. I mean in this case the disclaimer wasn't even needed because of how utterly ridiculous it reads, but I don't think it's a stretch to say that unfortunately many would read that nonsense and believe it. Precisely what some may actually want. Maybe I am misunderstanding the intention, but it certainly seems like an attack on Clinton using what are clearly things she never said but then the disclaimer becomes the get out of jail free card.

    It's blatantly obvious satire not to be taken serious, you may be taking it too serious. Maybe I give most on these boards too much intellectual credit, my bad. I thought it was a clever well thought out and written piece that gives insight to what Clintonites and Bansters really think.
    Have you had any person experience with anyone on that level?

    Not sure I understand the question?

    In any event, while it was obviously clear the piece was nonsense, I do owe a mea culpa in that I read the first paragraph ("The following....etc") in the first post as your writing and not as part of the piece. That makes a world of difference. Again, my bad.

    6 but I don't see the correlation between Trumps cabinet and Hilliarys wall street speeches?
