The tickets are free, they are just charging $1,000.00 for shipping, handling, and the customary “convenience” fee.

Question I have about this is does th $1,000 ticket count against your $2,300 maximum campaign donation?

I had hear that anyone getting a ticket had to volunteer to give Obama's camp 6 hours of free volunteer work.

Lets say 6 dollars an hour that makes it a minimum of 36 dollars for a ticket.

Well, if your rich making $250K a year or more, than $1K is practically free, right?

There seems to be no link to the news report. Is it working for anyone else?

Obama said he doesn’t intend to lose this election.

Obama may not intend to win it either.

He’ll step aside and Hillary will jump in.

It was all planned.......

On the other hand, it's not really a lot of money.

Unless of course you owe it.

No one cares. It may be "breaking news" but It won't change a single vote.

I can get to Red State, but within that article is supposedly a link to the actual news report. But there’s nothing there.
