Happy Birthday! Bill Clinton Received $1 Million Birthday Gift from the Islamic Government of Qatar in 2011

According to the newly released WikiLeaks emails, Bill Clinton, the husband of then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, received a birthday present from the Islamic country of Qatar in 2011 of $1 million.  

"[Qatar] Would like to see WJC ‘for five minutes’ in NYC, to present $1 million check that Qatar promised for WJC’s birthday in 2011,” Ami Desai, director of foreign policy for the Clinton Foundation, wrote in 2012.

The beautiful thing about American democracy is that the people get to decide whether or not they want to continue to fund this type of government.  This news is about as plain and simple as it gets.  The Clinton family becomes rich off the backs of the American people.
