IHT:

Obama has asked his top donors to help raise money for her debt, and so far they have come up with less than $100,000 (though more in pledges), Clinton campaign officials said — a “paltry sum,” in the words of one.

[...] if the Obama camp is seen as unhelpful, Clinton, her husband and their supporters could prove something less than a force for unity.

[...] it is unclear how much money from Obama supporters will be enough to satisfy the Clintons. Even Clinton officials and donors were at a loss to specify a number, saying only that Clinton was helping Obama with the understanding that he would do more for her.

[...] Some of them griped that major Clinton donors were not being invited to crucial fund-raising meetings; were not being made to feel that they would receive credit for helping Obama win in November; and were not being given titles within the Obama campaign.

[...] Clinton donors and campaign officials say they remain surprised — and, among some, offended — that Obama has refused to ask his entire list of donors, more than 1.5 million people, to send $5, $10 or more to chip away at Clinton’s debt.

[...] Clinton donors say it is an open question whether the Clintons believe they should play hardball — signaling that they will not rally enthusiastically behind Obama unless he does more on the debt situation [...].

[...] Clinton donors said they were hoping for a great deal more money to come in from people heeding his call.

Only in Hillaryland. At least they’ve finally got their priorities straight.
