Obama's Plans Tonight

Today Michelle is in VA -
Michelle Obama is due in Richmond at 12:30 p.m. for a women's economic roundtable discussion. The event is not open to the public. (so what will she say?)

At 4:50 this afternoon, Obama is to make an appearance in Charlottesville with Jill Biden, wife of Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden, for the Virginia Women for Obama Voter Registration Rally. That event, which is open to the public, will be at the University of Virginia's Newcomb Hall Plaza.
(So Jill be there to keep an eye on her)

How much money is this man allowed to receive? It is already near the half a billion mark. It's crazy.

The Republican party and McCain currently have twice as much money as Obama so get your facts right before you talk about Obama "buying" the election. I think I'd rather have celebrities like Oprah, Clooney, etc who give thousands of dollars to charity every year than the corporate CEOs that McCain has on his side like Carly Fiorina. She destroyed HP, let 25,000 people lose their jobs, and walked away with $42 million.

How many people did John McCain get together for a dinner with Wilfred Brimley?

This poll of economists that supposedly support Obama. What are they left-wing socialist economists or just ivory tower intellectuals?

The funds that the Obama campaign has raised is truly obscene. The candidate who supposedly is "for" the poor (remember, his background as a community organizer) hobnobs with the elite - multi-millionaires and billionaires - in his ego-maniacal quest for power. If you honestly think this faux "savior" of the downtrodden would actually DO anything more than USE the poor for his own ends you are seriously deluded. Look at his record. Look at what he didn't do for the South Side of Chicago.

I suppose that according to Obama´s statement, Barbra and friends are not bitter and don´t cling to their religion and rifles.

I wouldn´t be either if I had her money.

Obama´s friends: Oprah Winfrey, Matt Damon, Barbra Streisand, George Clooney, Susan Sarandon, Steven Spielberg, etc.

Typical american middle-class. You can find them every at the supermarket or the bank. Do you think the crisis affect this people?

Barbra, can you lend me some money?

I live in Los Angeles, I am a musician. I find it appalling that the A list celebs are spending 30K each to spends the night with Babs and Bama...meanwhile in the seediest part of Hollywood near Sunset & Western there are many homeless people living out of shopping carts, sleeping in hallways and using plastic garbage bags for covering and shelter in the cool Autumn night. Does anybody see anything wrong with this picture?

So glad McCain was in Ohio tonight and told the thousands of hard working folks there that during this financal crisis that BO was using as opportunism, he would be sitting with Babs tonight at a big fundraiser (he didn't mention the $30,000 a person, but I wished he had). Would blow the socks off those good folks who cling to guns and religion. Numbers show Ohio is McCain's....our doer and not just a talker!

Obama is on his way to be the first person in history to raise and spend $400M.

If an election can be bought, Obama has it in the bag.

Ugh...the trademarked Obama symbol....anything but the American flag. He painted over our flag on the tail of his jet to paint his "O" symbols at a cost of $500,000 before his World Tour. He's like Oprah...hey was she in the audience?
NEVER OBAMA. Save your money and contribute to the hurricane victims instead.

Obama needs to raise as much as he can so he can outspent McCain in Ohio, Penn, Colorado, MI, NM, etc...he likes to do about 3 to 1 or 4 to 1. Well look how that didn't work for him against Hillary in FL, OH, PA....etc....Hillary STILL HAD MORE POPULAR VOTERS. Didn't matter the loser endorsements of Kennedy, Richards, Edwards, etc.....STILL HAD TO BE PUSHED OVER THE FINISH LINE BY SUPER DELEGATES. THIS THING WAS RIGGED FROM THE BEGINNING AND HILL NEVER HAD A CHANCE.
So glad I'm on the McCain/Palin train now....even if Bozo outspends in some critical states...my money is on the American people and choosing the Mavericks/Reformers for our First Families.

The Desperate Dems looking even more desperate. Don't even cry economy when Bozo get's $1,000 a minute and hauls in 9 million dollars.....from the Hollywood Elite, those that have the most in common with BHO, really.
Now my gal Palin....is the real deal. Authentic, one of us. Reformer who will shake up Washington with President McCain. At least McCain doesn't flip flop on public financing like the suit did.
This is shameful and disgusting and HE YELLS HIS PROMPTER SPEECHES ABOUT OUR TROUBLED ECONOMY WHILE PILFERING THE LEFTY LIB HOLLWOOD DOPER CROWD.
I have no respect for Babs anymore, who was a HUGE HILLARY SUPPORTER.

Great I hope he raises lots of money

keller, Bush is the first one to ask for accountability in education as well as actually , gasp, testing to verify results.

It's not perfect. It's not ideal. But it's a start.

You will also find not only problems but also sizeable improvements for many of our poorest kids.

Keller, Not quite implied, he flat out promised he would only take public financing IF he got the nomination.

Do you need help finding it on google?

I'm an unemployed disabled American who gave Obama $25 this month. It was all I could afford, but I wish it could have been much more. Given what McCain plans to do to the healthcare system, I could very well lose what little coverage I have through my spouses employer. I am very grateful that there are American's, whether they are in Hollywood or elsewhere, who are willing and able to give more. We must stop McCain before he finishes the job Bush has done to our country and our economy.

I received an invitation, however I had a previous engagement.

Let's do lunch.

Speaking of dumb, Stephen, Obama never had a "written" agreement with McCain to enter into the public finance system. He implied he would. He didn't, because he surveyed the landscape and believed he would do better raising his own money. Cynical? Perhaps. But if the same campaign that cranks out lies like pizzas (McCain's) thought it could secure a similar advantage by doing so don't you think they would have? Na, not McCain. Too principled. Too much a maverick. He can accuse Obama of being everything from a traitor to a pervert but when it comes to allegiance to the public finance system he's a patriot. Country first.
