A person I talked to familiar with the event said the invitees included Obama 2008 presidential campaign bundlers who produced the most campaign cash.

Almost all of these 2008 bundlers have been rewarded with Administration jobs. If he is meeting with government-employed bundlers to discuss campaign organization, it would be a violation of federal law. But then these are Democrats we're talking about here.

Well you ask - Why is his wife taking a seperate vacation? Why has he disappeared from his press on recent trips? Why is he all alone in Florida while his wife is in Spain? Enquiring minds want to know!! Edwards, gore, Klinton and the big O - sounds like birds of a feather.

This is a poseur who knows no shame. He is a complete and total failure by any kind of reasonable standard and yet he continues to pile blunder upon blunder, seemingly clueless to his utter incompetence and lack of any accomplishments whatsoever during his time in the presidency. Can there be any doubt that this strutting peacock is at the bottom of the pile when it comes to rating past presidents, worse even than the dreaded Jimmy Carter.

The really important and influential donors weren’t there per se, but they have been wearing a rubber glove for obvious reason, for quite a while now. Thanks kristinn.
