Barack Obama raised $150,000,000 (pronounced “eleventy billion dollars”) in September from ACORN, William Ayers, radical leftists with an extreme pro-abortion agenda, and a smattering of overseas hooligans. In fact, over 3.1 million radical leftist traitors have now contributed to Obama’s campaign! Now that the Democratic candidate is flush with cash he can advertise whenever he wants to, buy a few extra planes, and cast the withered husk of John McCain’s lifelong dreams in bronze.
Of course, if Barack Obama really put country above self he would donate his millions to bailing out one of the neediest financial entities in America: the McCain campaign. Except that the McCain campaign, having already “redistributed” over 80 million of American’s hard-earned dollars into their general election coffers, are poster children for WELFARE and GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS and SOCIALISM, bah. What is John McCain doing palling around with crooks like the US Treasury?
Obama Recasts the Fund-Raising Landscape [New York Times]
$149,999,930 of that was not from me!
I gave an “OMG, Grampy did not just pick THAT as a running mate, to pander to my va-jay-jay” contribution in September. Post Palin-pick bump (snerk) contributions probably account for a lot of that money.
I hope Barry throws a raging kegger with what’s left after the election.
“Cha Ching!!” goes the sound of McCain/Palin campaign falling apart.
It’s one thing to raise gobs of dough, but it’s another to actually use it to your advantage.
I wonder if Howard Dean doesn’t call up Harold Ford Jr and Rahm Emanuel every day and go: “50 State Strategy Bitches! Yeeeeeeeeeargh!”
It’s good to elect someone who could solve the deficit problem by just taking a collection. Trick or treat for Hopeicef!
Also, hey, he managed to collect 150 mil during the depths of a financial nuclear winter, which is like making a zillion baskets from a court in LA to a basket in D.C. in a continuous intra-continental hoop-a-thon.
Yawl know what I’m thing….Kangol at the Inauguration and enough money to hire that white chick from the Harold Ford Commercial to lapdance everyone in the country.
Cogito Ergo Bibo:
A friend of mine who is helping solicit donations for O said that Sarah Palin was the best thing ever for O’s fund raising.
Were havin’ a party
Everybody’s swinging
Dancin’ to the music
On the radio….
$150 million huh? Barry is now officially worth more than McCain’s beer heiress.
Dump it all into Florida, Barry!!! I’ve been running the states over at http://www.270towin.com/ and we needs America’s Wang, now more than ever…
or Ohio, or Virginia, or North Carolina… but the Wang. It does the most.
Make that “eleventy billion RACIST ELITIST SOCIALIST TERRORIST dollars”
That’s a whole lot of “ists,” ain’t it?
Just to tweak the fundies he should spend his millions on a giant golden statue of himself and have all of his staffers bow down to it 3 times a day.
Yay for racial transcendence. Now bitter white guys like me can ask black people for change!
grendel: All hail Blackmanbashi!
Ooh. Was that in poor taste?
Did you see the spin coming out of the GOP?
“Tsk, tsk, that Obama is spending too much money. Is he trying to cover something up? What does he have to hide by raising all that money? Do we really know Obama and why would he be spending money on his campaign like this?”
Uh, ’cause he HAS it and you don’t, RNC?
dano: He always was, friend. He always was.
And every time Palin opens her mouth, another torrent of cash rushes in.
I hope he takes some of that money and purchases all the local snow machine dealers in Alaska only to shut them down and then mails Palin a copy of the Butler Act covered in his own piss.
He needs to kick some of that shit over to the DSCC to get to a nice, filibuster-proof 60 D’s.
queeraselvis v 2.0: Agreed. Obama really should take $50 of the eleventy billion and send Palin some sort of ornate flower arrangement or fruit basket. Something? After her speech at the RNC I was tempted to mail my credit cards to his HQ and tell them to max those fuckers out.
Terry: Are they saying he’s raising a lot of money to compensate for having a small penis? Like a mid-life crisis corvette?
Barry should announce a contest, open only to Ohio registered Republicans, to swim to the middle of Lake Erie on November 3, $150MM prize.
So, it’s just like a month’s worth of Bachmann and Twinkletoes?….with bigger names?
Maybe he can buy a home next to one of McCain’s seven and drive the property values down.
Yeah, there are so many secret foreign muzzies terrists somewhere donating $2 by paypal so FEC doesn’t find out…just because they wanted to torture Walnuts and weren’t old enough in Nam
Uhm, Barack? I could use another yard sign… are we over budget yet?
Joe the Plumber is such a hoor I’m wondering how much it would take to roto-rooter his ass on Fox News.
Kudos to McCain for preemptively announcing that all this money will precipitate a scandal. Somehow.
150 million, thats alot of Colt 45 and newports and kool-aid and watermelon and fried chicken oh and BABY BACKS FOR ER’BODY
Maybe he could loan the Repugs some of that swag to hold that victory parade to celebrate the end of the war in Iraq.
ManchuCandidate: As were the paper-slippered musings of that clap-infected twat from Minnesota, for her rival, El T!
I gave $50.00 to Obama a few weeks ago, so after reading this news yesterday I sent $25.00 Al Franken’s way. If Franken wins in Minnnnessssotttta (or however the fuck you spell it) it’s going to have the wingnuts throwing shit fits similar to those they threw when Hillary won. I’ll be loving life.
I love how Grampy just whines and whines about Barry breaking his promise on taking public funds. Campaigns are won or lost based upon how well the public knows the candidates. Gramps was a known quantity. Barry was the new boy on the block. The only way to fight a known quantity is money. A lot of it. McCain knows that full and well. He certainly didn’t hesitate to use Cindy’s considerable cash reserves when he first ran for office as an unknown.
I like his soon to be announced plan to sell Alaska to the Russians and distributing the proceeds to all of the states that he wins.
MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend: An Edible Arrangement(tm) in the shape of a penis, perhaps? A nice moose liver pate? Oh, the possibilities!
Lets just keep it real here for a sec…if McFalin had raised 150 MILLION DOLLARS in a friggin month…the Repugs would have been calling it a MANDATE by the nation that he should govern us all…now that a black man has done it somehow the ‘frabic of reality is being measured and hung’ or somesuch non-sense!
PULLEASEEE!
Hopitopia Here We Come!
Tricked out welfare Caddilacs for all my bitches!
Yaybuls: Love it! And hire Joe the Plumber enough times to force him into the 250K tax bracket.
you can buy a lot of health care for 150 mil.
ManchuCandidate: if I was on the phone with Harold and Rahm we’d be talking a lot more than strategerizing… sorry Barry but I’d trade your squillions of ACORN dollars for a night of hot sticky loving with my favorite DLC douchebags ANY day.
So 3.1 million Americans hate America? I bet hopey didn’t earn a single penny from any of the pro-America parts of the country.
rocktonsammy: you can also buy alot of hennesy(sp?) and kristol but whos counting if he had only done the 465 town hall….
He should just flee to Switzerland with his money. That’s what I’d do with $150m.
Serolf Divad: He has a real chance of winning. Norm isn’t from MN so I guess he doesn’t know that the “look how retarded scary this SNL guy is, RAPE” ads only work on the elderly, and the elderly of MN are already in the tank for the DFL. It’s one of those loyalty things, they’re the generation that voted for Mondale and all.
On the other hand everyone hates Al Franken for being a carpetbagger too, which is why the Venturatard is going to sweep the whole thing on account of his being a native son. Senator Klobuchar is going to be sooo embarrassed when she has to sit with him at lunch and hear the same stories about the Kinky Friedman campaign over and over the next six years.
I like the idea of a nation-wide kegger with the leftovers.
Wait. Why doesn’t Barry just pay 1,500,000 Florida voters $100 each to vote for him? Is that illegal?
Serolf Divad: It’s pronounced Minn-ya-sow-dah. The second syllable rhymes with the “a” in “Myaverick”.
Minnesota has some bipolar-ass voting. I mean, they’ve got one congressman who’s an ACTUAL MUSLIM, and one who’s a wriggling shit-maggot named Michele Bachmann whose executive experience includes sidewalk-preacher outside abortion clinics. And they elected as Governor a man whose experience was mostly giving devastating leg-drops to the likes of Superfly Jimmy Snuka and Hulk Hogan. And now they’re going to elect a guy from the cocaine-fuelled SNL writer’s room of the 80s.
What the fuck are they putting in their lutefisk hotdish up there?
Gramps and Barbie gotta be thinking like Butch (may he rest in peace) and the Kid, “Who are these guys?”
rmontcal: Mea culpa!
wheelie: Remember 2004, when John Kerry proudly announced that he still had an unspent $15 million in the bank after election day? I hope Barry spends the last $0.41 cents of this mailing in whatever form it is that says “Acceptance of Election” on the top.
He should definitely funnel some of that cash into the Franken campaign, and also whoever is running against Liddy Dole (which helps him anyway, as NC is close)and whoever is running against Mitch “got his ass thrown out of the military so fast he must be gay” McConnell.
I’m guessing Elwyn Tinkleberg is all right for the moment.
McCain was quoted on NPR this a.m. noting that “since Watergate”, things have been fine, but now Barry “broke the system again” by declining public financing and corruption will run rampant and “we’ll have to clean it up again.” What an ass. He is just such a weasely, lying, dishonorable piece of shit.
Doglessliberal: The only good thing about this is that nobody, but nobody, gives a rat’s anus about campaign finance reform, especially when there are so many other pressing issues (that WALNUTS! is ignoring). And I’ll bet the reaction of most NPR listeners to McCain’s shitmouthery was pretty much the same as your own.
Serolf Divad: Somehow I expect that Barry will also be sending a few dollars towards the Congressional candidates, since he has a few dollars to spare, an he’d might like some chits from these folks during his first 100 days.
queeraselvis v 2.0: gurukalehuru: The interesting bit is that not only is Barry not beholden to the spending limits, but he is also not beholden to the Democratic Party.
These chits are his.
4tehlulz: “filibuster-proof 60-D’s” … plastic surgery anyone?
So, when do we see a return on our $700 Billion? Barry? BARRY??
WhenTheMessiahComes…: Hopitopia is where I want to live forever, the end.
Roll Fish: Not exactly. But Obama staffers better be tipping 30% at the Waffle House.
queeraselvis v 2.0: I spit my Russian caviar omlette across the veranda when Jeeves informed me of the event.
WadISay: Smells like the perfect plot for that “Brewster’s Millions” sequel I’ve been searching 20 years for!
McCain Spin:
Obama is laundering drug money to his campaign.
I don’t care about the money. This is the best Obama pic EVER!
Yes, cigarettes kill everybody, but can’t we start a new Rat Pack or something? You need someplace special to put that much cool.
WIDTAP:You said chits. Twice. hee hee
MargeSimpsonsBlackFriend: Instead of flowers or fruit, I’d like to see Obama send Palin a contraceptive assortment. I’m tempted to suggest a DIY sterilization kit in addition, but I’d be afraid she would force that on someone else.
BruceLee5000: Try recreating the 1972 or 1984 elections. That’s good for a barrel of laughs.
WhenTheMessiahComes…: One of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy, &c., &c., &c.
This is why he doesn’t have to raise taxes; just get Palin grunting in front of a few redneck morans and we’ll pay off the debt willingly.
WIDTAP: That’s going to be fun to watch. He busted everyone up in this campaign, and proved his ideas and his network were bigger than his party - which also makes me pray like a fool every day for his safety.
Sounds like Bill Ayers is gonna get some really high tech, expensive bombs to fuck around with.

Cogito Ergo Bibo: I’m gonna be there: Hopetopia! Big party in Grant Park, Chicago.
tiny mexican: Actually, Franken grew up in Minnesota. They might hate him for having moved to NY, though.
