"Any suggestion this was a fundraiser hosted by the mortgage industry is as imaginary as the other tall tales that have been coming out of the Clinton campaign lately."


OH SNAP!

From TFA: "The American people are tired of the sniping from the Clinton campaign, both real and imagined," said Jen Psaki, Obama's traveling press secretary.

I can't believe it. Obama is engaging in fundraising? How dare he!

Certainly this is an attack which will be effective, as it shows how outside of the mainstream he is of politicians.

Clinton's probably just jealous that people are actually attending his fundraisers. Then again, it is helpful to her campaign in the sense that it allows them to identify people who's votes don't matter.

Did someone get told?

Well if you can't beat 'em Barrack, join 'em.

Wait, what?

Shrugging Atlas: Clinton's probably just jealous that people are actually attending his fundraisers. Then again, it is helpful to her campaign in the sense that it allows them to identify people who's votes don't matter.

She could probably get more people to attend her fundraisers if there wasn't so much sniper fire.

A hundred, million times, THIS. I don't even know how she could get that out without dying of laughter.

Maybe people would make less a deal of the sniper thing if she rode in a tank.

/you know, for protection

Obama holds four mega-fundraisers in one night.

Meanwhile, Clinton's campaign is on the verge of debt and yet they try to spin this as a NEGATIVE for Obama.

I tell you wut, that's some hardcore spinnin' right there, yessir.

Comedy platinum!

I wish there was some sort of flow chart to tell me how the situation went.

Can you imagine the look on the face of Mark Penn or Howard Wolfson when they hear it? The best part is they can't say jack against this. They basically have no choice but to bend over and take it as the Obama campaign, the press, talk show hosts, etc. just blast away for as long as they like. About the only thing they can do is hope like hell her other dubious claims (Northern Ireland most of all) don't get more attention.

another awesome quote:

"Today's event was a general fundraiser in a room paid for by our campaign and attended by people from varied backgrounds who are committed to changing the tone of our politics, and rejecting the kind of tactics that the Clinton campaign is now embracing"

That headline caught me completely off guard, thought it would have ended like "Barack lies about every possible thing he can."

I like how Clinton is able to boast of raising so much money in February on the one hand face, and whine that Obama is outspending her 3:1 on advertising on the other.

_{Pay no attention to the massive campaign debt behind the numbers. Or the $5 million I loaned my campaign. Or the $10 million I moved over from my Senate campaign fund.}

Feel the excitement of a Clinton fundraiser!

I was invited to a fundraiser last night where you could pay $100 to meet Obama's HLS classmates.

Now that would have been interesting.

Damn, that's as good as their press release at the beginning of the run to Pennsylvania.

I think I finally get Hillarity Clinton's energy policy. If we can harness this level of spin through the next four years, we'd be free of foreign oil overnight. Kinda like the buttered toast-cat perpetual motion device.

Tosch: I wish there was some sort of flow chart to tell me how the situation went.

Fine, I'll do it.

I read that 3 times before I caught it. Once I did, I snorted beer out my nose.

Obama Accepts Over $1 Million From Subprime Lending Industry
by zenful6219, Mon Mar 24, 2008 at 09:31:57 PM EST

The Obama campaign's response to the comprehensive plan Hillary Clinton laid out to address the housing crisis today was not to discuss their disagreement with her proposal, but to assert that Clinton has received contributions from subprime loan companies.
Considering that Obama has received $1.18 million from subprime lenders and has taken more campaign contributions from the top ten issuers of subprime loans, his attack rings hollow as just words. Obama has a record of talking about standing up to special interests and then caving to their demands. Hillary Clinton has a 35-year record of standing up to special interests and delivering results.

I'd be interested in seeing who it is that contributes to somebody who is a 20 year long member of a racist anti-American church.

Good entry angle, but poor execution and your follow-through needs a lot of work.

3/10. Try harder next time.

She is TOAST, and any firm that does business with her campaign is idiotic - they will never see their money.

The thought that her contributors can threaten the party if Obama wins is ridiculous - he is a fund-raising MACHINE that has yet to begin his real work.

More importantly, Obama is the only candidate in the race who does not take money from PACs or federally registered lobbyists.

If ownership by special interests is what concerns you, Hillary Clinton is not the candidate for you.

Um...no. Not unless you consider employees of these firms making private contributions as the equivalent of the firms themselves making them, which is absurd. All (minus $250) of Obama's fundraising has come from individual contributions. (Per this.)

I work for a University. I've donated money to Obama. According to your logic, this large research university has donated money to Obama.
