Change? Believe it!

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

We have learned by now to take what Big O. says with our ever-handy grain of salt.  Here’s an item about his supposed small-donor explosion:

The Campaign Finance Institute (CFI) study says that 26 percent of donors to Obama’s presidential campaign gave $200 or less, the definition of a small donation. That’s compared to 25 percent for President George W. Bush’s 2004 reelection campaign.

I blame the tingle-in-leg mediums for their habits of ballyhoo.

  1. Mr. (I mean President) Obama can readily be mistaken for a ward-heeling Chicago graft-dodger. Keep your walkin-around money safely stored away. He’ll be back in your neighborhood to pick up your contribution!!
