Obama Selling Martini Glasses and Spatulas for Campaign Cash
Fox News ^ | November 27, 2011 | Todd Starnes

Posted on 11/27/2011 8:59:52 PM PST by lbryce

President Obama’s campaign team has put together a website to remind us what the Yuletide season is truly all about — getting him re-elected. So they’ve decided to offer Americans a collection of special decorations for the “holiday” season...

...And don’t worry about messing up your furniture with water stains because the Commander-in-Chief also has a line of glass coasters.

But if you’re sipping a Martini, why not just throw a backyard barbecue?

And President Obama has just what you need — a “Fired Up and Ready to Grill” apron, a six-pack presidential cooler, and a nifty Commander-in-Chief cutting board to chop up your White House veggies.

Good point, not that anyone on the national scene is going to say anything.

I wonder why that is?

Of course, these are the golf balls that vaporize in a cloud of dust when you hit them.

The way the golf balls are packaged makes them look like something out of Mars Attacks.

I won't say what they look like. What an embarrassment for the country. It's no wonder other leaders are laughing at us.

The recipient would receive 80,000 golf balls he could put in a landfill, give away, sell or give to a driving range, or whatever.

So let's say me, George Soros, or Jacque Islamabad were to buy 40 thousand sets of golf balls with the Obama logo for $1 Million.

Ahh...an unlimited source of really cheap "range balls". Ranges could throw away all their old black striped yellow "smilers".

You're correct that foreigners can't contribute to the Obama campaign, unless they have green cards. Don't know what that's about. However purchase from the Obama campaign, which these appear to be, are contributions subject to the limitations and reporting requirements of the law, so Soros can't buy 10 million golf balls. Last election, there was an issue with a large contribution, 30 or 40 thousand, from Gaza, where else, which the contributior contended was a purchase of Obama TShirts to sell to his many fans in Gaza. The Obama campaign had to return the money.

If you want to look for potential fraud in something like this, look to the exemption of under $200 contributions from disclosure. Which last campaign I believe the McCain campaign did voluntarily, but the Obama campaign refused. Just as they refused to verify credit card identity. The entrepreneur in Gaza, this time round he'll place 200 orders for $180 worth of TShirts. Illegal, but who's to know

Thanks for the ping...I remember during the campaign, the issue of deliberate credit card fraud that would have allowed ANYONE ANYWHERE to contribute to the Obama campaign came up (Covered HERE by Ed Morrissey)

Previously they sold digital downloads of albums. No shipping costs. Wonder how many $5 donors never bothered to claim their “purchase”.

Also with all of Obama’s high dollar donors, he needs his $5 donors trying to win a date with Barry to average out to lower donation values so he can at least pretend to be a man of THE PEOPLE.
