There's probably worse than the 47% comments in them. We already know she blamed the homeowners for the Great Recession.

Acknowledging the role that certain homeowners played in causing the Great Recession is not the same as blaming them for it, and I really doubt she would say anything too bad in these speeches. Though, that is why I'd prefer she just release them so we can be done with it.

In the video that I assume jfail is referring to, Clinton was quite accurate in her assessment of how certain homeowners taking out second and third mortgages were partially responsible for their own predicaments and the subprime mortgage crisis. Of course, the clip he likely saw was an edited 14 second soundbyte from a 30 minute speech in which Clinton lays a lot of the blame on the mortgage companies and the securities industry, but we can't expect people to go to the source for information or ask questions beyond a 15 second sound byte.

I do not believe the public will ever see any of these transcripts.

They could be leaked, but not ever released by Hillary.
One of the speeches in question is available online and can be viewed at any time, so there are only two speeches that we don't know the exact contents of, though IIRC Politico did a piece using information from people there about the contents a few months back.
