I guess the cutoff between being "not that well off" and "well off" is 14 watches and two rugs. The 15th watch or third rug would have pushed them into "well off" status.

But we do know that ownership of one horse immediately pushes one into that category (see Romney, Ann).

I've never seen anybody brag about being so wealthy while at the same time try to portray himself as "one of us."

I do not think there is a delineation between "wealthy" and "one of us"


One can be both

Well, we have Bill bragging about how rich he is, and Hillary lamenting that they were in debt and dead broke, so perhaps they've established equilibrium.

The Clinton's have been obsessed with wealth for a very long time. What's that saying......you can't serve two masters.....money is their master.

Stop trying to defend Clinton. You're just saying that because he was the 1st black president.

For perspective, Rocky's financial decline was foreshadowed by his buying TWO watches.

And a butler robot. That thing was probably expensive as hell in the 80s.

That's why, imo, they moved to NY state instead of staying in Ark. More media exposure, more money to be had. Maybe also the fact that I think they didn't even own a home in Ark. If they did it wasn't common knowledge.

I think Slick would have come back if not for her national political ambitions. Arkansas was nothing but the trailer park temporarily lived in while the big house was under construction.

I seem to remember them not leaving the governors mansion in a timely manor because they did not have a place to live.

Apparently that used to be Jimmy Hoffa's stump speech when organizing...

He'd get up and start talking about how much money he was able to make, with the inference being that he was one of "the guys" who had succeeded because of the union.

Of course, where is he now?

they have a great business partnership. He never gets elected president without her and she never runs for president without him.

The funny thing is, we are one of the few countries where the SITTING POTUS can have an affair, get busted, lie about it, and still has a sh*tload of power.

Ever watch a prosperity telepreacher? In many ways Billy Jeff reminds me of one of those guys.

To be fair, we all know those people who wear 14 accessories but are still sorta poor. You know.... ______ rich. That's what the Clintons are.

That would certainly explain why he was declared the "first black president".
