Obama's Small Donors? NOT EXACTLY

Let us put Obama's fund raising, and his comments about BITTER AMERICANS in proper context, share with you the readers some of his Billionaires Row fund raising event where the vile words were spoken:

It was not easy finding out exactly where and when to go. The precise time of the fundraiser was never revealed, and the Gettys own many properties in the area. But another local columnist dropped a clue as to where it was happening: "The hottest ticket in San Francisco this weekend may well be the $2,300-a-head reception for Democratic hopeful Barack Obama at the Pacific Heights mansion of billionaire couple Ann and Gordon Getty." Ah, that Getty home -- it could only be the legendary one in the heart of Billionaires Row.



As far as I can tell, this page has the best description of Billionaire's Row, and gives the addresses of some of the Gettys' immediate neighbors. According to various sources, this short stretch of Broadway has more billionaires-per-house than any other neighborhood on Earth. A sample (according to the link):






Hillary and Bill Clinton are Right-Obama Cannot Win in Fall

Considering the timing of this blog's launch, there is a very interesting article over on Politico that is very much on target even if Mr. Dean and Pelosi don't want to see the truth right in front of their eyes. Simply stated, Hillary and Bill Clinton are correct in believing Obama will not and cannot win the fall election, and it is offended voters like myself that will cross party lines, vote for John McCain rather than see Obama in the White House, and it has NOTHING to do with the color of his skin, but everything to do with the numerous offensive mistakes he and his wife have made during the primaries.



What Clinton wishes she could say



Jim VandeHei, John F. Harris Sun Apr 13, 9:45 AM ET



Why, ask many Democrats and media commentators, won’t Hillary Rodham Clinton see the long odds against her, put her own ambitions aside, and gracefully embrace Barack Obama as the inevitable Democratic nominee?


Here is why: She and Bill Clinton both devoutly believe that Obama’s likely victory is a disaster-in-waiting. Naive Democrats just don’t see it. And a timid, pro-Obama press corps, in their view, won’t tell the story.


But Hillary Clinton won’t tell it, either.


A lot of coverage of the Clinton campaign supposes them to be in kitchen-sink mode — hurling every pot and pan, no matter the damage this might do to Obama as the likely Democratic nominee in the fall. Rest of Story.
