Obama Donates $2,300 To Clinton Campaign
By Wyatt Earp | June 27, 2008
Can we stop with the Barack/Hill-dabeast love-fest already? No one is buying this garbage.
(CNN) — Sen. Barack Obama donated $2,300 Thursday to the campaign of his former opponent, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In addition, Obama’s national finance chairman, Penny Pritzker, donated $2,300, said Terry McAuliffe, who served as Clinton’s chief campaign fundraiser. The $2,300 is the maximum individual contribution allowed.
“He wrote a check himself, as well as his finance chairman, so I got two checks in my pocket for Hillary,” McAuliffe said.
Asked how much the checks were for, he responded, “They maxed out.”
The move comes nearly three weeks after Clinton suspended her campaign and endorsed Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.
This week, Obama asked top contributors to help Clinton retire her campaign debt of $22 million, about $12 million of which she loaned to her own campaign. (H/T – CNN)
This is exactly why this toad cannot be President: he has no killer instinct. “Let’s bring everyone together.” That’s great for the country, but piss-poor for the rest of the world – a world that hates us.
Look, Hillary knew what she was getting into when she decided to run for President. She knew it would take money, and yet she still refused to drop out of the race even when her coffers were bone dry. I say, let her bail herself out!
But that’s just me.

See it today, the amazing, the cute and cuddly, the made in a madrassa, the Obama-rama say anything doll. Just pull the cord and he’ll say anything you want to hear.
“Oh look everyone, Hillary is my friend”.
“I have always been for the individual right to arm bears”.
Well, we’re working on some new material but the amazing Obama-rama say anything doll can be yours for only four payments of $2300. Here’s how you can order…

I hear Bill is jealous. He’s supposed to be the biggest whore in the family.

He’s just massing the troops in preparation for his beat down on McCain in November.
It’s just like the Rebel forces joining with the Ewoks to take out the base on the Forest Moon of Endor.

“He wrote a check himself.” How magnanimous! Like the $2,300 will do much to put a dent in her campaign debt. What about the rumor that she’d drop out if he paid off her debts?
And how will his wife buy fresh fruit for their kids if he’s busy pouring money into defunct campaigns? It’s not helping Michelle’s kids, I tell you.
Just another way Obama is trying to show us he’s a swell guy who cares for the little people.

Lovefest-YUCK.
Randal;
I don’t think Obama will get very many typical white people votes, but neither will McCain.

$2,300 is just gas money. Secretly he is hoping she will take the hint and drive out of town.

Old NFO – He’s pro-NRA like I’m pro-NBA!
Jennifer – And you just know the message was brought to you by Ronco.
RT – Apparently, it’s a family business.
Randal – I assume Obama is the Ewok?
Pam – I know. I heard their kids were getting scurvy.
Admiral – You’re probably right.

Deanna – Oh, come on; it’s not like Obama would say anything ingenuous . . .

I said SECRETLY… and he has all those MENTORS around him helping him think.

Deanna – I was kiddding, deary. I knew what you meant.
