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 am fooled. I thought that was Obama’s speciality.
Zerobama is starting to feel the heat from Governor Palin.
Is that mean governor from Alaska picking on you Barry?
re: “we won’t be bullied”

Bullies can give it but not take it.
Sorry Hussein, fewer and fewer people are buying the garbage you are peddling.
Bon Jovi and Obama in one venue? (shudder)
doesn’t he see how defensive he’s become? it’s funny to watch... this is part of the unraveling... i saw George Herbert Walker Bush act defensive with Clinton and Dole with Clinton... and Kerry with Bush... Obama is coming across as weak...
I have a feeling that Obama’s been bullied all his life. That’s where the seething anger in his voice and demeanor comes from.
Lately, the veins in his temple have been bulging out when he gets up to speak.
If he doesn’t cool it soon, he’s going to have a stroke.
Hope is not a strategy.
Hmmmmm?
Wuss loser!
that he even brings this up is silly... he's coming in second...
Obama is such a childish BABY.
He has no you know whats.
Waaaa Waaaa! This kid beat me up at school and her name was Sarah!!!! Waaaaaaa!

What a whiner.
Waaa waaaa a girl is picking on me, boooo hoooo. Good grief will the dems see this guy finally as the true idiot he is before the ballots are printed?
The truth is I do not believe he will be on the ballot.
“Bullied?” But then again, playing the victim is his specialty.
Recall him anticipating that the evil republicans would soon be launching racist attacks on him because he looks different.
Are the Dimocrats embarrassed by their pick yet. I mean Joe is more of a man than this guy.
