Streisand headlines Obama fund-raiser
Barack Obama is winging his way west for a glitzy fund-raiser in Beverly Hills tonight headlined by Barbra Streisand.
The Democrat needs to keep raising millions because unlike Republican John McCain he has turned down public financing. A reception and dinner costs $28,500 a person, while it costs $2,500 a ticket for a later event featuring Streisand, who initially supported Hillary Clinton.
But the event provided an irresistible opening for McCain, who was campaigning in hardscrabble northeastern Ohio this afternoon, to get a dig in.
“He talked about siding with the people, siding with the people, just before he flew off to Hollywood for a fund-raiser with Barbra Streisand and his celebrity friends," McCain said in Vienna, Ohio. Let me tell you, my friends, there is no place I’d rather be, than here, with the working men and women of Ohio. I’m going to fight for you and together we’re going to win in November.”
msame you are just jealous because nobody wants to be around you. that is the reason you got palin. you could not even draw a fly. when palin was getting celebrity treatment it was alright with you. now sen obama getting back , you whinning. CHANGE IS GONNA COME, BABY, CHANGE IS GONNA COME
Obama the ELITIST
McCain-Palin are the old-young thug, who have no agendas, no wisdom, no principles, no shame and no fear to LIE, LIE AND LIE , DAY AND NIGHTS that too in the public. It is pity for the Republicans, who are hearing them and giving them wrong hope and momentary pleasure to catch the white house.
In reality Americans after suffering for long 8-years are not fool to pick-up Bush like, McCain and that too with Palin who has no experience and her hands and laps are full with five kids, the youngest one need him 7/24.
Obama is losing in all the key battleground states. it wont even be close. i hope he and his cranky wife enjoyed their ride.
What change you!? Do you even know what Obama's recycled 1960's legislative platform is composed of? If you wanted real change you should have voted for Ron Paul.
all the more reason to vote MCCAIN-PALIN
$28K for a ticket! I bet we ain't eatin' no mooseburgers!
I'm looking forward to talking with my sophisticated socialist Ivy League pals about all the white trash in Ohio and PA clutching their guns and religion.
Signed,
Barack Hussein Obama
