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.

Hilarious! I heard the producers of Young Guns II approached Bon Jovi about licensing "Wanted Dead or Alive" for the film. He did them one better and composed an entire theme album based on the brat pack western! Uh... thanks, Bon Jovi. They only ever ended up using his song "Blaze of Glory". Lesser gems such as "Justice in the Barrel" and "Blood Money" were left to languish on the album, and boy were they stinkers...
“Obama turned down the public funding, figuring he can raise and spend more on his own.”
If his poll numbers head south, I wonder if his campaign contributions will as well.
Sort of along the lines of 'nah-nah-nah-nah-boo-boo'. . .
Ban Jovi.
Obama: “Mommy, those mean people are trying to bully me”
Mommy: “Son, you just go out there and bloody their noses or you’ll never be able walk on those streets again”
Obama: “But mommy the mean one is a girl and she’s scary”
Mommy: “What the hell is wrong with you, you can’t beat a girl? Go cry to that Larry friend of yours”
If money alone were the key to winning the campaign, Barry would be flying high. He's outraised, flip-flopped on taking public funds as soon as it became clear that private funding would be to his greater benefit, and grossly outspent.
But he is still gonna get the same defining moment he gave Hillary -- LOOOOSER! Michelle thinks SHE should be wearing that $300,000 outfit. Sorry, Chelly it's back to Dillard's. Or maybe Target.
That's his running mate, Jon. Put the bong down and rub your eyes...
Dennis Miller had a similar quote:
I'm not so much concerned about the color of Obama's skin as I am the thinness of it.
That's my retort for those who accuse me of racism because I will not vote for Nobama under any circumstances.
A $30,800 a head fundraiser and Barry thinks he's a man of the people? Unbelievable.
Hey - arugula has gotten really expensive, dontcha know!
BTW - I love your tagline!
LMAO! Really?
Well you'd better call the DOJ out on this guy first!
"They're gonna tell you, he's got a funny name, and muslim connections and..."
Bit of a problem with the angle Barack Obitchfest is working then, isn't there?
Seems he's already "bullied" and "smeared" himself FOR us to voters about this thing, again, and again, and again. LOL!
