I had an ex-GF years ago who invited me to see them at a show. I declined because I was saving for my Metallica show a few weeks in advance so she pouted. Later told me they were the only white chicks at the back LOL

Nothing in the title of this article is the least bit surprising. Rap artist? Check. Obama? Check. Campaign financing violations? Check. The question is, how much foreign money (beyond the amount in this instance) has found its way into Democrat coffers since the early 90's?

I seem to remember massive amounts of money going to Obama in 2008........foreign money that he SAID were all from single donors and all under $200. And he got away with not reporting it because, you know, it would be racist to question him about anything. Bammy will be smirking for the rest of his life.....he really played this country good.
