  1. WTF? I thought that campaign contributions were only allowed to come from huge, multinational corporations (which, as we all know, have the best interests of impoverished Cleveland at heart).

  2. Was there (in an overflow room). Nobody there didn’t have an extra 5 bucks to spare.

  3. I never realized, until seeing the graphic above, how much Obama does indeed resemble Osama.

  4. 2- TT, I would bet dollars to donuts that Barak was raised to say please and thank-you…”I realize that money is tight for many people, but I would appreciate it very much if you could spare $5.00 or $10.00 to help me get my message out. Thank-you” would be how I bet he was raised to speak. Kill them with kindness…it may be an old fashioned way, but it tends to be the most effective way. JMO

    That’s funny!

    Now your team has a politician who looks like someone else, just like the Left has with your Republican President Bush looking like a fucking monkey in every single picture of him!

    So I say, good for you guys!
