Collecting all the forks in town sure adds up.

Liberal elites support Obama - they've got the money. That's what's happening here. Some uber rich guy is funding Obama.

That crap about giving wedding gifts is bogus - then again if dems can find one person to do it, the MSM will run with it like it's Christmas... that, they'll notice.

[smoothsailing]

the Obama for America campaign said they wouldn’t pay.

Slackers and grifters never want to pay.

[Verginius Rufus]

Interesting that you would find a bunch of racists in a university town like Durham. Surely they could find the money somewhere--fire a teacher or something.

Curious that Obama for America wouldn't pay. Maybe they get used to stiffing communities in 2008 with expenses like these and don't expect to have to change in 2012.

This raises an interesting point. Who pays for security for Romney?

How many times has some small town or city ponied up tens of thousands for Obama’s campaign fundraiser security?

I sense a hidden cash flow of several hundred thousand here, paid for by citizens through local taxes.

This local benefactor just underlined the whole money issue.

What if the town said NO! What would State Sponsored Media do?

Contribution Limits

An individual may give a maximum of:
• $2,500 per election to a Federal candidate or the candidate’s campaign committee.

[bolobaby]

If this is a campaign cost - as the town claims - does this run afoul of individual contributor limits?

I bet the FEC will be right on THAT.

Those Egyptian moslems know which side their bread is buttered on....So to speak...

[rockrr]

He won’t be allowed to stay anonymous for long.

[ridesthemiles]

Qhy isn’t a campaign responsible for all these extra costs???

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Asking the big eared Kenyan to pay is RACIST!!!

[ROCKLOBSTER]

“Some people are very positive about the position that the town has taken to date, and others have been very critical. Some have expressed it as being ‘un-American’ the position we have taken, others feel it is...

Actually, saddling the town's taxpayers with a huge bill to benefit the mooching moslem/communist/packer would be "un-American".

Live Free or Die!

[dupree]

I don’t get this. According to news reports Obama is raking in millions of dollars every week at these ritzy fundraisers with celebrities. Why can’t they afford to spend $20,000?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Martha Stewart?

[pistolpackinpapa]

Good. That’s $20,000 that will NOT be spent on TV, Radio and Newspaper ads. Way to go Durham. Every mid-sized town/city should require the Obama Campaign to pay their fair share. After all, isn’t the Obama campaign raising a $Billion this campaign season? (/sarc.)

[S.O.S121.500]

Yo—DURHAM, N.H., Get the cash UP FRONT!!

[sunmars]

I’ll bet its gone down like this....

Town asks for money, campaign does not want to set precedent of paying for town visit because everyone will then ask, so says NO publically but in fact pays it on the quiet to do it, bet the mystery donor is linked to obama campaign.

[Candor7]

No Ceaser, no! Do not go to Rome!

[stylin19a]

new way to make a campaign donation without the restrictions ?

watch for more of this...

[Lionheartusa1]

Let me guess who ;

George Sorass is the donor
