Helping Obama get elected

For the past couple of weeks I've been trying to understand my feelings about HRC's campaign debt. On one hand, having Obama's supporters help her out will help build some goodwill within donor networks and will be a real step toward bringing the two camps together. On another hand, having to raise an extra 10 million from Obama supporters that will not go toward the national campaign at a time when republicans have been amassing a bigger war chest than the democrats seems like too much of a distraction.
Hillary has already graciously written off the 12 million she lent her campaign as an investment in her own brand. I'm trying to figure out what would be so bad about her "loaning" her campaign another 10 million to pay off her vendors and free up all donors to focus on Obama. I think this gesture would add some follow-through to her statements that she will do whatever she can to help Obama get elected, and it would demonstrate leadership and personal responsibility at a time when so many in our society are paying for things with money they don't have.

Although I don't understand exactly why, I have a feeling I will offend some with this suggestion. Am I crazy for thinking this way?
