Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden received expensive gifts from Saudi Arabia, Russia and China, among others.Foreign diplomacy doesn’t always resolve world-class problems, but it sure does rake in the swag.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was given a half-million bucks worth of diamond and ruby jewelry by Saudi Arabian King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz and received $58,000 worth of bling from Brunei.
The lavish gifts were among a treasure trove of keepsakes bestowed upon U.S. leaders in 2012, the State Department disclosed Thursday.

Payola, absolutely sickening....they're bought off
Bought and paid for screw ups!
What......you think WE are the only ones who know ANY of our politicians can be bought? It's like a campaign contributions (bribe is the term the peasants use) --- you don't give someone $100,000 because you don't EXPECT (a lot of difference in that term and "hope" or "believe") something in return (for the same or greater value). Now you see why people spend MILLIONS to get a job that pays (legally) relatively nothing. Keep cheering.
Probably blood diamonds too...
They must have had plenty of bags
They don't keep any of this stuff!!!
