“The most troubling part for the president is that he’s become so unpopular that donors don’t want their names to be associated with his events.” “Obama himself had someone privately foot the tab for security at a New Hampshire stop after the locals decided they’d had enough of this freeloader campaigning on the public dime. Yet they won’t disclose the donor.” And neither will the donor. 2008: Change! 2012: Spare change?

  • Four years ago you say those silly clown logo Obama stickers everywhere, this year very few of them...I guess normal folks, not just donors don't want anything to do with Obuttski...

        • See this, Gollum? Here is KimmyQueen, also demonstrating efficiency for you as she shows how to aptly sum up a person or situation in one, simple word.

        • Just TD and MO...Johnny is posting shit like that on every thread hoping to get a rise out of someone..He posted on the thread about fat counseling that he was for Obese pride.....Fat, stupid, stuck in mommy's basement and paying all that money to evil corporations to use the internet and Obama phone and eat all those naughty trans-fats...that's our troll....

          • That explains why he will not go look for a job he is too fat to get out of the basement. He just wants handouts, like feeding the whales at sea world. John I left you a twinkie outside lets see you ask the government to help you get it, troll.

          • I'm sure there's an Evil Corporation waiting right next to the Twinkie, to snatch John away when he goes for it. It's the real BoogeyMan.

          • I thought it would be something that you people would want to hear seeing as you are against such "nanny state" policies like the upcoming soda ban debate. I figured a "choose to do what you want with your body" type of angle would appeal to you.

          • Oh, dear.

            Now, honey, listen...

            If you are going to insist on saying stuff that makes it readily apparent you would get your rear handed to you in a battle of wits with a half-eaten, soggy fried Twinkie at the local county fair, well, people are going to keep giving you very much deserved TD/MO responses.

            Refocus, Gollum! Eye on the prize!

            Practicing your efficiency skills so you can get a job = Good!
            Making lame cracks because you think that's what people want to hear = Bad! And Stupid! And Lame! (Did I say that already?)

  • Gee, He was in town last night and I missed Him? My heart aches.

    Haha though, this is a riot. Come to think of it, about once a week there's a few black kids in the plaza across from South Station selling candy bars like a school fundraiser. . .last time I saw 'em, it occurred to me that one of 'em was kinda tall....
