He hasn't posted for a while, and he most definitely wasn't an Obamaite primitive.
A primitive yes, but not an Obamaite primitive.
Did the Obamaite primitives run him off Skins's island?

How much does it cost to custom paint a commerial airliner?
(drum roll, please)
150,000 pounds sterling for a plane the size of a 330 AIRBUS. (Obtained from a firm in the UK.)
That's $299,447.56 at the morning exchange.
Not a WHOPPING sum in today's market of overspending, but if you donated (and even I did a while back), you paid for it.
Now I'm just asking...was it worth it to get the "Leather Bucket Seats" on your nickel? And if anyone wants to call me "Anti-Obama" for this, piss off. McCain is likely doing even worse. I am merely lamenting the foul state of the institution called The General Election.
I'm sure all those people without health insurance are really enjoying "the circus."

9. So I take it the point of this post is to discourage us from donating to Barack Obama?
It's a fact that presidential campaigns have huge marketing budgets. Part of that marketing is painting up a plane to fly around in. It seems wise to have our candidate fly on his own jet to make the most efficient use of his time.
There are different classes of people in this country and whether or not Barack Obama's presidential campaign puts leather seats in its aircraft is not going to change that. "But what about the people that don't have health insurance?" is not a valid argument in a free society of excesses like ours.

17. I read it and interpreted it as I did
In fact I read it several times because I couldn't believe how absurd the reasoning of the post was. There are haves and have nots in this country. Barack Obama's campaign is not out to change that. I already knew I was giving money to a millionaire the first time I made a contribution.

19. Yeah, it has nothing to do with your constant cries of persecution from Obama voters.

21. Which ended quite a while back.
You really can be tiresome. Why don't you really address the question?

25. You don't get it.
Your previous anti-Obama history (far more than most Hillary supporters) makes any current anti-Obama critique seem suspect.
I can't recall a single positive post of yours regarding Obama even after he became the presumptive nominee.

31. And if you could read, you would notice the OP was directed at elections, no Obama.
I support the Candidate. That's as far as I'm required to go. You want more? Piss off.

24. Well, for all those who think that DU has drifted to the right, I present this thread as proof we are still proud representatives of the Loony Left. Only here would people argue that the candidate needs to fly coach!

32. No, he is not and calling him that is against DU rules
Hmmm. One wonders what the name removed primitive called the burdened primitive.
Probably a racial epithet.
The mystery, or confusion, deepens:

33. Oh yes he is. He is an active member of the unmentionable site.
It is showing in his posts too.
Our old home, or the shoe-sales site, PUMA?
