Presidential Nominee Vows To Fight Back Against Character Attacks Better Than John Kerry Did In '04 MIDDLETOWN, N.J. (AP) ― Unlike his Republican opponent, Democrat Barack Obama is still raising money for his presidential campaign, and he turned Friday to rock legend Jon Bon Jovi for help.

Bon Jovi and his wife, Dorothea, hosted more than 100 people for dinner on their mansion lawn by the Navesink River in Middletown, N.J. The price was $30,800 a person, to be divided between the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

"We're not going to be bullied, we're not going to be smeared, we're not going to be lied about," Obama said. "I don't believe in coming in second."

Earlier in the evening, Obama attended a $2,300-per-person reception at the nearby home of veteran party fundraiser Phil Murphy. About 200 people, including the Bon Jovis and New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, attended.

I have a feeling that Obama’s been bullied all his life.

And that it continues at home with Michelle?

$31,000 a plate, and people think he is on their side and “one of them”????

There is only one person who is truly “one of us” and that person is Sarah Palin.

Hey Barry, you say we are not going to be bullied...bullied by whom? If you get elected every despot, tin pot dictator and Islamo fascist crazy will attempt to bully us with the blessing of the left. Did you wife give your ‘nads back for the Bon Jovi event? Lots a big talk from an empty suit.

"We're not going to be bullied, we're not going to be smeared, we're not going to be lied about," Obama said.

No, you're not. Because all we have to do to sink you is point out the truth about you. That's all it will take.

Vote for him at your own peril.

You know, I keep telling my kids not to download, use Istore or buy CDs & DVDs.

Then I see all the entertainment industry support of Obama (Cheryl Crowe and Bon Jovi for ex.) and harassment of McCain (Heart, etc).

Now I am wondering why when all the entertainment industry does is use the money I give them against me.

I Don’t Believe in Coming in Second,’ Obama Tells Bon Jovi Fundraiser
September 05, 2008 10:18 PM

NEWARK, N.J. — Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., hit a couple swanky Garden State fundraisers this evening, starting at the house of Democratic National Committee treasurer Phil Murphy and his wife Tammy.

“Are you guys fired up?” bellowed Gov. Jon Corzine to the $2,300-per-person crowd. “You better be, because I think you’re liquored up!”

Obama again said that the GOP convention didn’t discuss solutions to problems facing ordinary Americans, unlike the Democratic gathering.

“The Republicans had a different approach to their convention,” he said. “They had a different theory, which was that ‘We are just sarcastic. We spent a lot of time talking about John McCain’s admittedly compelling biography, and we spent a lot of time lying about Barack’ — that, somehow that’s a political philosophy or an economic theory.”

Obama told the appreciative crowd, “They don’t have a record to run on, so what they’re going to do is they’re going to try and just tear me down. Because it worked four years ago, and it worked eight years ago, you can’t blame them for trying it again, but I don’t think it’s going to work this time.”

Next stop: the manse of Jon and Dorothea Bon Jovi, or “The House That ‘Young Guns II’ Built.”
