3. I know he will need their money to win the election, but how
f----d up is our system when the president has to go begging at Goldman Sachs to keep his job..

4. Obama is an insensitive pig. 50 million Americans are currently
receiving food stamps.

10. With meals like that is it any wonder democracy has indigestion?
He should have gone to Zuccotti Park for a wonderful sit-in, er, I mean, sit-down dinner.

14. We thought about going...
We're seeing him anyway at the later reception, but were invited to the dinner. We ultimately decided to target our money to key Senate and House races, but having been to these things before, I can tell you there are a lot of upper income Democratic supporters in NYC who aren't trying to screw the working class. Sorry to ruin your cliches..

17. Memo to other "poor" DU'ers. Please don't send Obama your last $50. He's ok without it
I know a lot of us got wrapped up in hope and change, but please this election cycle, don't send him money that you can put to better use.
I remember last time reading of people who sent him $25-50 when they didn't have it to give.
With people donating $35K for a dinner with him, Obama will be ok. Donate if you can afford it and if it doesn't hurt you, but please take care of yourself first.
Donate to DU3, Skinner deserves it more than Obama.

That's actually not a bad idea. Skinner is a capitalist, after all, and he could use another vacation after the upcoming election . . . :fuelfire:

Party crashers.....and I'd bet the family fortune that they are the worst of the working class abusers.

I'll remember that next time a liberal tells me the government needs to raise taxes.

$35,800 a plate! That's $4,689 more than the annual median household made in 2007 (which were the numbers I could find nadining it).

What I find odd is that not one single DUmmie really tried to defend to Obama. It almost made me think I was on the wrong DU.
-
I'm sure he's got plenty in an off-shore slush fund from the "Recovery and Reinvestment" Act.
Let's see how many donors he can get from the Middle East this go-around again.

Well, honestly, what BS could they possibly fling that would make it sound good?

True, and I'll bet some will still donate, and all will still vote for him.

Obama has never tasted Humble pie and no matter what happens next november, he ain't about to eat any then either.

I've often said the worst I ever had was still pretty good, but this is taking it way too far.

If it got up for Nancy P., I'd cut it off.

"Are you gonna eat dat?"

Of course he isn't licking his chops in anticipation but taste it he will, after he takes that pie to the face.

As I was reading through this earlier I was musing in my mind about Ober Fuhrer Obama and the Anarchists of OWS. Judging by the DUmmy reaction it appears they too are none too impressed.
Obie and the rest of the 1% Dims have been riding the on the back of the tiger (of division) for a long time. I can't help wonder if the Anarchists will pause to check for a D after the name whem they drag their 1% 'ers out to the street.
-
In Obama's defense, in solidarity with OWS and the 99%, they had planned to have foot long hot dogs but Bonnie Fwank ate them all.

Cali showed up in that thread. She must have heard that she's been mentioned for an award.

Why does this bring to mind the Roman Orgies , Roast Peacock tongue, Hippo Penis baked in the blood of virgin young Giraffe, blood of a tiger mixed with wine??
What the heck does anything on the Menu for Obama's little fund raiser even sound like anything an uneducated pallet would enjoy ?????
Surprised there is no soup made of eye of Mute [oops] that may be for later.

Because you're vesta? :???: :tongue: :???: :tongue: :whistling:

I don't like a single thing on that menu except the steak, just plain. Beet salad? Ugh. Carrots, bordelaise sauce, and the gross heavy desserts. Can't have any of it.
Did you see Trump rail against king zero about his inconsiderateness, of tying up traffic during the Christmas tree lighting, etc. etc.? :lmao: He's right, little lord tyrant is a rude oaf.

Yup. Bob Beckel almost had a stroke on The Five last night over Trump's piece. ('Course, the blisteringly hot Kimberly Guilfoyle was egging him on . . . :fuelfire: :evillaugh: )

I almost can't stand Bob Beckle to the point he has come around to the other side of me liking him...ALMOST.

That, too . . . I almost spat out the Ricola cough drop in my mouth, Chris . . . :lmao: :rotf: :lmao: :rotf: :lmao: :rotf:
So, the H5 is warranted.
PS--the "drunk" emoticon should be added to ours.

If I were rich enough to have $38,800 bucks just burning a hole in my pocket ( as in no bills, no mortgage, after charity, investments....) I can think of a billion more useful things I could spend that money on. But for some odd reason a very sleazy week in Japan keeps coming to mind. :naughty:

Would you even notice? :tongue:

Yeah, it all sounds pretty bleagh, except the steak, and possibly the cinnamon ice cream.

Bob Beckle is a good sport though. Greg Gutfeld makes The Five watchable, though I don't watch it that much. I do watch Red Eye. I'm a night owl.
