Oh Yes he's for the "Middle Class alright"

[Navy1960]

Give me a break, now while Obama repeatedly stated he would accept public financing for his campaign, then in typical Obama fashion decided not to after making his followers believe in his message of change and hope and he's a man for the middle class. Now we get to see more of Obama's friends and just how much for the "Middle Class" and hope and change he is. As I have repeatedly stated, the man and the message are two very different things, ths is just further proof.

AFP: Streisand sings for Obama supper

DENVER, Colorado (AFP) — Oscar-winning singer and actress Barbra Streisand will perform at a glittering and lucrative Hollywood fundraiser for Democrat Barack Obama Tuesday, aides said.

The White House hopeful will host a dinner costing 28,500 dollars per person in a Beverly Hills mansion, and Streisand will then sing at a reception at the swanky Beverly Wilshire hotel, campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Monday.

And?

Clearly middle class isn't an issue for the right.... they voted for Bush twice and now picked McCain and his houses....

y'all have it so backwards .....

How does Babs singing at a fundraiser make Obama not for the middle class?

must be because someone rich and famous likes him....

but how many rich people like McCain???

they just aren't as talented so they're jealous.

I'll tell you, Obama sets up a message "hope and change" he's going to do things differently, constantly lecturing Republicans about how they are for the rich and how he is for the middle class and the poor. When given the chance at each turn he proves that the Obama of the message and the Obama the man are two different people.

It proves the real reason for opting out of his public finance system like he had previously said he would. It's not surprising though, this is yet one, in many many things he said he would do that he has changed his mind on. I wonder how much of that 9 million is going to hurricane relief or, to help with the mortgage crises.

The difference here though jillian is you don't see McCain out calling Obama the man against the "middle class" or the man for the rich. All at the same time hanging out with a bunch of wealthy hollywood types.

I'd repeat my question, but I don't think it would make a difference.

I'd repeat my answer and I don't think you would most likely want to believe it. It's sad however, how much the democrats have been sold a bill of goods by Obama. While I understand, that the democrats want a change from Bush, thats understandable, but Obama the man and Obama message are two very different things.

He's running for President and that money is needed if he is to succeed. I would love someone to list all the fat cats Mccains knows and mingles with. Using his resources to gain money for his campaign is smart. He knew if he took public financing that he wouldnt stand a chance because the republicans use Washington lobbyists and special interest PACs and 527 groups that pours millions in slander advertising. The repubicans are the rich kids on the block and they might not be hollywood stars but these third party organizations have much more money than any stars from hollywood. Public financing is a fricken joke and anyone who can google can see why he passed it up because its a scam with several loopholes and I am sure your smart enough to know this even though your post plays dumb. They actually caught carl Rove on tape recently saying "We need to get those 527's going", this post is a crock of shit.

The DIFFERENCE is policy.... not singers.

McCain tried to get Lassie to perform at one of his fundraisers, never knowing Lassie died years ago. Confused? Or just living in the past?

 

[jschuck12001]

Carl Rove
He's behind a new 527 group called Freedom's Watch. Let me give you the low-down on Freedom's Watch

Freedom's Watch

A major new 527 conservative advocacy group largely bankrolled by casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson. The donors for Freedom's Watch have raised $200 million for this election to help Republicans.

But they don't WANT Obama to be able to raise money. (Even though he's outclassed mccain in that regard from day one). That's the point... the GOP was supposed to always be able to raise more money... instead, they had to take the funds they REALLY needed for congressional campaigns and use the money to try to get back the presidency....

I can see where that would make them a bit testy.

Nope thats not the point, the point is your guy Obama is NOT a man of his word and does not represent the "Middle Class". You think the post is a "crock of shit" because it points out that Obama is hanging out with a bunch of low life scumbags with lots of money and all the time telling you how much he feels your pain. Sorry if the truth hurts there jschuck. and hey there is always a soultion on a post you don't agree with or don't like. don't read it. and stay in the one's you only agree with.

 

[Contessa_Sharra]

Obama repeatedly stated he would accept public financing for his campaign, then ...decided not to.

What is your problem with Obama NOT RIPPING OFF THE TAXPAYERS? His campaign is paying its own way. It is not taking CAMPAIGN FEDERAL WELFARE, as McCain's is.

I thought YOU PEOPLE were into people paying their own way, not asking for handouts.

Isn't this attitude a little on the hypocritical side? YOU PEOPLE WANT Obama to take handouts at taxpayer expense?

One minute you hippy-crites are pleading the virtues of the "little guy".

The next minute you poeple are calling them stupid, Bible-thumping, redneck, siter-touching, backwoods rubes.

When have you seen Obama hanging out with wealthy hollywood, he has a dinner to raise money for the campaign. How is that hanging out with Hollywood types. Please give me examples.

 

[Navy1960]

I agree with you on the fact they have differences on policy too jillian, however that was not the point of this thread. The point of this thread was to poin out that Obama portrays himself as one thing while doing something else and thats just one example. I'd be happy to cite many many more examples if you like?

Nice little article there in the Washington Post jschuck, hardly a bastion of Republican love there.

So people in Hollywood are low life scumbags but your buddies that sell out to Pacs and 527's arent, your crazy. Dig into John Mccains friends, they are all very very rich and many have shady business dealings. How can you classify Barabara Streisand as a low life, do you know who will be attending the dinner. I'm glad he didnt buy into your parties bullshit about the campaign financing. There are many more rich low life scumbags in Mccains pocket anyday. Also you dont decide whether he represents the "middle class". The man has worked his way through life and never had a silver spoon stuck in his mouth, just paid off his student loans 2 years ago. Remember the "community organizer". Thats middle class and lower class people. Something John Mccain wouldnt know anything about.

 

[HoleInTheVoid]

Obama doesn't have PAC's and 527's on his side?

wow

What a crappy commuity organizer. Are you sure he's ready for the Big-Time?
