President Barack Obama returned tonight to the comfort of his hometown, where he made his first trip to his re-election headquarters that opened in May and used a supportive political base to raise millions in campaign cash at a series of fundraisers.

Obama is high in crack, there can be no other explanation fir this.
Wow, I'll bet he's glad to be in America where those kinds of things didn't happen in that day and age.

luv ur tagline. Don’t run in to many jaded Gramma’s. Good to see.
This populist, this man of the people, is only charging $35,000 per couple at tonight’s event to line his own re-election pockets
Hypocritical POS
Bu-Bye Barak Tour 2012.
I think he has us confused with lemmings.
Whoooooo A! I just read yours....I love it, too!
Love,
Jaded Gramma
| Zer0's entering his 'Jimmy Carter' phase, where the majority of normal people begin to just tune him out and realize he's a failed president.
We'll see this sustained propaganda and lies until election eve. |
Countdown until Zer0 leaves Office: 375 days as of January 11, 2012.
YEP....Equality = Misery spread among us all equally
Barrack Obama is the first black President.
He is also the first President to use “...America...fall...”
Ein Folk, ein Reich, ein Fuerer!!
If I fall, so will all of you... THAT is the threat I hear from this sick bastard.
What couple are they referring to? Isn't this contrary to the ‘official’ story?

The president pointed out old friends in the crowd, including people who helped him get his political start and the couple responsible for him meeting Michelle.
I’m wondering the same thing. Interesting! This part is particularly funny to me:
“Is somebody mowing the grass in front of my house? I’m going to go over there and check,” he quipped.
“If you guys stand with me, if you guys have my back as you guys have had my back for all these years, I guarantee you that we are going to win this election. We will deliver for the American people. And I won’t be back here in (my) house for another five years,” Obama said.
As if he doesn’t know or cares of the grass is being mowed. Maybe if he went home for vacations or Christmas instead of taking multi million dollar luxury vacations that the taxpayers pay for, then he would know the answer to that. Who lives there now? last I heard one of his butt buddies Michael Signator was living there and taking care of it.
If anyone seriously thinks when that trash is sent packing, that they will move back to that house, I have a bridge to sell them. They have billions stashed in offshore accounts, I doubt they will stay in the US. Look for them to build a place next to the one the Saudi’s have in Spain where big Wookie went on vacation.
What a phoney!
Re. The couple ... first names that popped into my head are Ayers/Dohrn?
me too...the FOB’s that dare not be named.
[Michelle] Obama attended Princeton University and Harvard Law School before returning to Chicago and to work at the law firm Sidley Austin [Dohrn was there], where she met her future husband...

FLASHBACK:
November 14, 2008
In the book's new afterword, Ayers describes Barack Obama as “a family friend,” which contrasts with Obama’s description of him as “a guy who lives in my neighborhood.”
A local conservative talk show host was reading from her “Princeton Educated Blacks and the Black Community” this morning, commenting on her wide range of experience...like writing “What I did on my Summer vacation.”
“This jumped out from another report ...

BINGO -— This is who Obama is alleging are responsible.
WHITE HOUSE TRANSCRIPT:
And then all of you are here. (Laughter.) And I’m looking around, I see folks who first hired me for — as a summer associate. Between Eden and Tom, they can take — and John — they can take responsibility for me meeting Michelle. (Applause.) If it had not been for them, it would not have happened.
I’ve got Allison and folks who stole me from Sidley, so you can blame them if — (laughter) — but I’ve got folks here who watched our kids grow up, who we played basketball together, we worked out together, we saw each other at various functions and events. And friends who, if it weren’t for you, could have never gone on this extraordinary journey that I’ve gone on.
