It would be great since it costs me a hundred dollars a tank if I didnt have to wait an hour for your motorcade to drive down the busiest streets in the city during the busiest times of day, thanks….
Are these “fund raisers” going to continue until Election Day ? When is enough,…enough ?
When Romney concedes.
It’s never enough because this is all Obama and his campaign know how to do. He’s a great campaigner and they’re excellent fund raisers. Governing? Not so much.
It’s only a matter of time until everyone will hate “Big Hollywood”, if they keep getting tax credits it may happen very soon.
I think the Obamas are just Hollywood wannabes- I mean how much more Hollywood suck up to do you need to feel Presidential? Common! 3 weeks before the election. Something’s not right.
This is a con job of Presidential proportion. Oct. 25th is the give away all the ads will have already been purchased for the final two weeks of the campaign so any money they get at this party will go straight into the DNC account or to the Obamas under the table. Anyone who pays full price for this is a moron and a brainwashed idiot. They already have more than enough money close to a billion dollars for Obama and they don’t need to raise any more at such a late date.
…but why?
Just can’t wait until the election and then all this becomes a moot point for the time being. Gotta get those dollars somehow!
Maybe St Jude’s Children’s Hospital, the Make a Wish Foundation, or cancer research would be more worthy uses of these celebrity dollars. I think it’s hilarious these hollywood types support the “fair share” guy, but yet take advantage of every tax credit and advantage they can by moving operations to locations outside of CA. Obama would make a great mayor of Hollywood. As president of the U.S.? Not so much…unless you like record poverty and high unemployment with a side of massive debt increses.
Since France has set their socialist bar nice and high and now taxes the rich elite at around 70% or so,
I think all these pampered celebs should just give 70% of their wealth to the empty chair. (suit)
Then maybe they’ll be able to sleep at night and get over their guilt at being one per centers…
The Hollywood liberal elite…God bless ‘em…they just don’t have a clue.
