Obama Still Owes Springfield IL $55,457 For 2008 Campaign Security
State Journal Register ^ | 10-23-2012 | DEANA STROISCH

Springfield’s budget director says the city is out of options to be reimbursed for expenses associated with hosting then-Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign stop in the fall of 2008. “Short of suing the campaign, which isn’t really going to do anything — it would drag on forever — there’s really nothing we can do,” said Bill McCarty. “We’ve tried.”. Obama introduced his running mate, Joe Biden, at the Old State Capitol in August 2008. About 160 police officers and nine civilians helped provide protection for Obama’s visit, according to an invoice from the city. Obama’s presidential campaign was sent a bill for $68,139, but still owes $55,457. The city has tried for years to collect.

When all else fails in Springfield, call Homer, Bart, Marge, Lisa and Maggie. After all, Barack Obama has called on Big Bird to save the Democrats and his traitorous presidency.

Matt Groenig could turn Springfield’s valid financial claim against Obama into a Simpsons’ episode that no one will forget.

With the formal support of the idiot, “throw the bums out” half of Congress, Obama poured trillions from the U.S. Treasury down the toilet with nothing at all to show for it. Springfield should have been paid first and is right to pursue this.

Hey Springsteenfield-—consider the debt as a write off campaign contribution to re-elect your TOTUS. Besides he’s a son of ILLinois you promoted as an unqualified, affirmative action senator. He bees family.

Let’s see—the rest of us are stuck with a 16 trillion bill and Stinkfield is complaining about a measly 55.5/k tab?

Sangamon County went for Bush in 2004 but voted for Obama in 2008--51,176 to 46,857. Presumably the percentage for Obama was higher in Springfield than in the rural parts of the county.

If each person in the county who voted for Obama would just contribute one dollar, they would have almost enough to pay off the debt.

Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas.
