On the recordMay 12, 1998
Still claiming the time, if you do not want to talk about Kent Law and grant him immunity, what about the $3 million that was funneled through John Huang, which the Democratic National Committee had to return? Does it concern you that the Chinese Government may have been trying to influence the election process? Or if you do not want to talk about that, could we talk about why Webb Hubbell got $700,000 in money after he left his job and before he went to prison? Or if you do not want to talk about that, can we talk about Charlie Trie, who is a friend of the President, from Arkansas who funneled $700,000 in contributions to the President's legal defense fund? If you do not want to talk about that, could we talk about Charlie Trie's Macao-based benefactor that wired him $1 million from overseas banks. There is enough here that surely we can talk about one issue besides the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Burton) and Republicans who do not say things correctly.

That's what base republicans called Barack Obama. I think that's partisan rhetoric. I don't think it's accurate at all.
