My bet is that that these over paid, over rated, hypocritical, idiots who paid $28k had a great time riduculing those of us who are clutching our guns and clinging to our religion? What a bunch of hateful morons posting pro Obama comments! Does anyone know if the guest list is available on line?

The Dow crashed… He threw a party… But who wouldn’t? With guests paying $28k for the pleasure to rub elbows with him and Streisand herself singing for him - damn the Dow with S&P and NASDAQ, damn the torpedoes, the party must go on. Obama is so unstoppable now that probably only the repeat of 9/11 would stop him from flying off to the party - and even that only because it would ground all the jets, including his private jet.

Bad timing . . . very very bad Mr. Oh-I’m-so-close-to-the-common-man! Hello!? He’s so common that he’s hanging with the Hollywood liberals! He should have cancelled or sent a proxy…remember how the Republicans curtailed their convention because of the hurricane?! Guess what Senator Obama . . . there’s a hurricane on Wall Street and you should be hanging out on main street! Shame on you! I’m embarrassed to admit I almost voted for you! Thankfully you’ve helped me see what a stupid decision that would have been.

Don’t worry about these little facts:

September 17 Wall Street Journal (Brody Mullins and Glenn R. Simpson): “Many of the fund-raising events that Republican rival Sen. McCain attends, including one in Miami on Monday, begin with a private cocktail hour with the Arizona senator for contributors donating about $25,000 each. Some events that Sen. McCain held this summer for his campaign and the Republican National Committee offered special treatment for couples who wrote checks of up to $100,000.”

But who cares?! It wasn’t with Streisand!

Mccain’s complaints and retorts are so hollow, he has been one step behind this whole time, when did Mccain dedicate any of his life to help those less fortunate than himself, Obama gave up big money as a lawyer for many years to help others.

READ THIS MCCAIN SUPPORTERS - REALITY CHECK

Obama has walked the walk his whole life, deal with it - and he is smart. Mccain graduated at the bottom of his classs and got elected to the Senate due to his rich wife.

[...] Reuters Blog:: The Democratic presidential candidate spent the day Tuesday campaigning in Colorado, where he talked to supporters about the mortgage crisis that has reshaped Wall Street and caused many people to lose their homes. Speaking a day after the stock market had its worst day since 2001, he assured a rally in the Denver suburb of Golden that he understood the impact the crisis was having from Wall Street to Main Street. “Jobs have disappeared, and peoples’ life savings have been put at risk. Millions of families face foreclosure, and millions more have seen their home values plummet,” he said. “These are the struggles that Americans are facing. This is the pain that has now trickled up.” Then he jetted off to Los Angeles Tuesday evening for a pair of glitzy fundraisers that could be the biggest for Democrats during this election cycle.

Well, it’s official, McCain has completely lost touch with reality. The last time I checked, Barbra Streisand was a working American woman. And yet I wonder how McCain affords all of his expensive luxuries on his senate salary…oh, that’s right I forgot, he doesn’t pay for them, he married for money! I guess Chuck Norris (an outspoken republican) is just as lazy and rich as Streisand, huh John? Republicans no nothing but hypocrisy. And to the fools out there who keep indicting both these guys for raising money to campaign, what freakin solar system are you living in? How do you think it gets done?

Very confused and wondering no end how the Hollywood elite could promote and contribute money and share their fame to Baracko with his uncertain position for Israel and its never ending conflict with the Palestinians and Arab Muslims. His bio and many say he is not a Muslim. Many also are very wary of his ever changing position on Israel and Jerusalem. Understandable because of his Muslim relations from his dead Kenyan father, Indonesian stepfather and Kenyan grandmother, half brothers half sisters, uncles, cousins, etc.
