Obama is coming to Seattle Sunday for a fund raiser (for $30k a plate) that's being held at a couple of rich Seattle billionaire's houses (one is MS$ Shirley's). He leaves Monday at 8am, right through the heart of Seattle's morning commute. They're closing the freeways at ~8:30am. Inconsiderate to say the least especially since it's a fund raiser, and he's not running for anything. What a cock.....
If only Rollo would grace us with his presence in this shitstain of a thread
Great stuff man, eye-opening to say the least

Reality is these asshats get to DC and never leave like cockroaches.
why is obama doing political fundraisers if he cant run again?
most likely DNC fundraisers for midterm Senate elections
Welcome to the world of fundraising. As a general rule unless you can donate 5 figures or more you really aren't worth speaking to. Expect phone calls for educational or voting purposes but your money is useless otherwise. Professional fundraisers figured out that its not worth investing to even try to get funds from the middle class. Money and time is much better spent schmoozing with people who can bring out 6 or 7 figured donations at a moments notice.
Has nothing to do with politics. Same thing goes on at all levels of fundraising all the way down to charity.
Agree this is consistent with behavior in both parties, but it annoys me how Obama and the Democrats portray themselves as the party of the people, while Republicans are comprised of stuffy rich guys and dim Jesus freaks.
In reality, Obama has raised huge funds from the super-rich and corporations.
A better approach would be to set aside $1 billion for each party to spend for re-election. Government $$$ with no outside funds.
And I agree that the Democrats get quite a lot from the entertainment industry comprised of many nutcases.
But still the republicans take $$$ from arms manufactoring bent on involving us in wars. Not to mention Wall Streeters setting up Ponzi sceams.
It's all pretty sickening and when a true American man like Ron Paul speaks they call him crazy. Yes crazy because he wants to right a insane political system.
This country was set up on States Rights. Let a state decides if it wants gay marriage. A death penalty. An industrial state comprised of corporations. Or even a state which gives most to the poor. Let a state decide want it wants.
This country survived for a 150 years with no income tax and no give aways or involvement in any foreign wars.
And if was because everyone worked hard and was not taken advantage of by either the rich or poor.
And it can be thay way again and would be if I were running the United States of America.

What about slavery do you want to know.WTF is this?

The biggest error was bringing the Negro man to the Western Hemisphere. As slavery was a tragic mistake.
The American Civil War was not fought over slavery but fought over states rights to have it among many other states rights issues. Another one being taxes on imports and exports which the south thought was being unfairly applied to them.
The biggest problem today with the American people is they know very little about history. Thus allowing themselves to be caught up again in the tragic things that happened in the past.
This is really why a man like Ron Paul or even myself should run this country. A strong man who would get things done.
