Obama campaign celebrates Independence Day … with fundraiser in Paris

Obama campaign celebrates Independence Day – with fundraiser in Paris. “The European Obama campaign starts next week in Paris on July 4 with a reception organized by various fundraising heavy-hitters…” Must’ve run out of useful idiot celebrities to mooch dinners with over here. Don’t hurry back.

  • Obama will not be in Paris on July 4th. You people do know how to read, right? Romney, on the other hand, reportedly will be in London to raise money later this month. I'm sure you'll be outraged about that, too.

      Hey, Dumbass. Obviously you can't read. Have your Mom read to you my comment of 9:47AM above.

      • Aw. The poor thing. I think someone smacked HimHerIt pretty dang hard with the Stupid Stick before dumping HimHerIt (Sorry, trying not to be Gender Insensitive here, and... it's difficult to tell just by looking, isn't it?) here at IHTM. I think I'll need to make sure I have a nurse's station built into Ms. Jenn's Home for Wayward Trolls so I can tend to all the knots and bruises these little gnomes come dropping in with.

        In any case, because I didn't outright say it before, thanks for looking into this a little further and letting us know what you found.

    • And... we go from Sarcastic Sunday to Manic Monday.

      Gollum, honey? Was there something off about the fish this morning? You seem even more irritable than usual. Yes, I know you are very upset over the loss of the toy Evil Mordor Cheetos, but look what I've brought you this time! This is a radio. I'm going to set it up here - no! Now, I think it would be best if you didn't touch it, and we must keep it well out of reach of Olivia. But I have it tuned to play soothing music for you. You just sit here and listen to it for awhile. Think about your lessons and focus your mind and attention on that one important goal - finding a job!

    • John's mommy.....She's pissed cause her baby boy gets getting the IHTM smackdown.

    • Dear UCan'tReadUCan'tRead, you're the one who needs to learn to read. Two comments up the issue of where Obama is going to be on the 4th was already decided. Duh.

  • He would always rather be sucking up to foreign leaders than staying in his
    own country... after all, it is very exhausting to visit all 57 states to celebrate Independence Day!!!!!!!!

  • That article was ambiguous, is Obama headed to Europe for the 4th or is the Obama campaign (spearheaded by George Clooney) organizing ex-pat fundraisers in Europe?

    I know Obama doesn't like words like "freedom" and 'independence" but is he foolish and arrogant enough to ignore our most sacred national holiday?

    I sure he'll make some perfunctory and insincere speeches on the 4th.

    Update: I goolged Obama's plans for the 4th, he'll be at Camp David June 30 to July 3rd and return to the White House on the 4th where he'll host a BBQ for military families and then deliver a perfunctory and insincere speech that no one will take seriously.

  • I had a thought that Barackie probably confused July 14 (Bastille Day) with July 4th (US Independence Day). No matter what this is just wrong.

  • These are the voyages of the campaign ship "Socialize". Its never-ending mission, to seek out new donations and new sources of money, to boldly go where no campaign has gone before...

  • Great he is gonna spend our independence day with a bunch of socialist retards who surrender before the war even starts. HEY....I bet that's where Big Fat Sis got the idea for the Border Patrol Guys to run and hide in a gun fight, Kinda like the French Army...

  • Oh, are the French voting in our elections now along with the Martians, the Orks, the Hobbits, the G'ould, and the Mayans?

    • I stopped counting ages ago the list of things that Obama's done that were illegal, immoral, unethical, fattening, or just plain WRONG.

    • Exactly, how is this legal to accept foreign contributions? Back in January of 2012: In a terse four words, the Supreme Court on Monday issued an order upholding prohibitions against foreigners making contributions to influence American elections.

    • Really good question. How will these dollars be funneled legally into Bare-ack's campaign stash? I'm sure there's some kind of "legal" way that they are doing this, which is bad enough, but the arrogance of holding these events on or even around the 4th of July is just unacceptable.

    • I didn't even think about that... The President cannot accept donations nor gifts from foreign nations/leaders that could lead him to be compromised. However it has already happen as he sold a lot to the Chinese and Putin will have to give him some time (after the election) for Obamie to be of service. It is really disgusting.
