How about "@Drudge_Report Obama Celebrates Debt Hike at Burger Joint...http://drudge.tw/pIZe0j" Nothing washes down a debt ceiling deal in which you got none of the tax hikes that you asked for like a cheese burger and a shake. And can you believe what Obama did with that shake?? "@Drudge_Report) Pushes Fatty Milkshake on 11-Year-Old Boy...http://drudge.tw/qSWNLo" Can you say DIABETUS? I knew it!! DEATH PANELS!
What else?
With the debt deal done, Congress has gone home for a break for the month of August. This of course means... FUNDRAISING TIME! Too bad the President has to put off his fundraising for a few days so he can celebrate his birthday.
| "@Drudge_Report Obama's 50th Birthday a 'Massive Campaign Event'...http://drudge.tw/nyGHqy" Oh. My. God!!! This is a great idea! Why didn't anyone else ever think of thi... hold up (I'll come back to this). Aren't we in a financial crisis? What does he think he's doing having an extravagant party? Spending all of that money on a lavish party in Chicago! The last thing this economy needs is people going out there and spending money on things. Take a page out of Governor Rick Perry's book: Hold a day of prayer and fasting. Remember the last guy from Texas who said that we should go out there and spend money to help the economy? Yeah, that's right! He got voted out of office in 2008. Sorry W, but we pray our way to a stable economy. Oh, so yeah, why didn't anyone ever come up with raising campaign money on their birthday before? Well, because they did. In 2007, Hillary Clinton held a birthday bash with the most expensive tickets going for the FEC maximum donation amount at the time. Since then, that maximum amount has been raised (to about 10x of what it was then), so of course some of the tickets at Obama's birthday bash/fundraiser are at this new limit. Also, in 2007, First Lady Laura Bush asked for $61 donations to the RNC in honor of President George W. Bush's 61st birthday. (Yes, this isn't the same as $35K, but hey, at least Obama is giving you a nice night out away from the kids.) And birthday party fundraisers are a common practice: PA State Senator Vincent Hughes, Former CA Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, President Clinton, Mayor Bill Haslam - Knoxville, TN. So, thank you Drudge Report for finding two non-stories and turning them into stories of the sinister actions of a dastardly, economy-destroying power monger. |
