Obama Campaign Celebrates Independence Day ... with Fundraiser in Paris

maggiemay 2012/06/29 19:26:26

Apparently tiring of US soil as a source of campaign dollars, the
Obama campaign is headed overseas -- with its celebrity friends in tow.
The European Obama campaign starts next week in Paris on July 4 with a
reception organized by various fundraising heavy-hitters. Independence
Day fundraisers in Paris – now that’s a flag-waving campaign.




The Obama campaign will host events in Geneva, Switzerland in August
as part of their “European outreach effort.” George Clooney will
headline a fundraiser there, with 150 tickets going for $20,000 per
piece. There’s even more to the bargain: if you go as a couple, the
second ticket is half-off!




With the Obama campaign’s increasingly desperate campaign emails
begging for cash from the American people, perhaps the campaign thinks
they’ll find more fertile soil outside the country. Especially in the
aftermath of the Supreme Court ruling that upholds Obama’s
European-style healthcare plan, Obama’s hoping to cash in on like-minded
folks abroad. Americans don’t believe that Obamacare is a triumph; they
see it as a massive net negative, sucking our coffers dry and handing
us long-term rationing in return. Europeans, however, know nothing else.
The entitlements have already kicked in. What better place to ask for
campaign cash?




That also may be the only place Obama can still find cheering throngs.

    They've done nothing but misappropriate taxpayer dollars since they walked into the WH. If it wasn't for the Secret Service, pilots, etc., I'd wish Air Force One would get lost in the Bermuda Triangle, never to return. And if they don't go through the Bermuda Triangle on the way to France... lose their way and end up going through it. LOL

    Obama carries nothing about the independence of the United States, because he plans on raking it away from the people of America, He is hoping all the foreigners that want The USA to tumbleweill give him the money to get reelected so he can finish what he has started,

    Not sure. Last election the repubs complained hotly that he was taking so much online from foreign sources and it was called "illegal" then. The DEMS kept "pishposhing" that fact. I think it is still illegal, but obie gets a pass on everything,

    Apparently......
    The DISCLOSE Act (S. 3628) was proposed in July 2010. The bill would have amended the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to prohibit foreign influence in Federal elections, prohibit government contractors from making expenditures with respect to such elections, and establish additional disclosure requirements with respect to spending in such elections. The bill would also impose new donor and contribution disclosure requirements on nearly all organizations that air political ads independently of candidates or the political parties. The legislation would require the sponsor of the ad to appear in it and take responsibility for it. Obama argued that the bill would also reduce foreign influence over American elections. Democrats needed at least one Republican to support the measure in order to get the 60 votes to overcome GOP procedural delays, but were unsuccessful.[44][45]

    Disclosure laws helped shed light on who was paying for elections. However, not all money was disclosed in the 2010 election cycle and this undisclosed money was termed "dark money".[46] In 2012 the Boston Globe repeated the same term "dark money" and described money flowing from tax-exempt non-profits in the form of interest advocacy groups as "social welfare".[47]

    You just know he decided he just had to get himself out of the country for July 4th. He was raised to hate the 'imperial' US. Independence Day is his worst day of the year.
