Rich Politician Tries to Buy Election
When a politician spends his own hard earned cash to fund his political campaign, cries of, “OH NOES!!!!one!!!!* teh rich ownz the guvm’nt!!!” have been known to occur. Indeed self made men such as John Corzine, who didn’t do it themselves according to President Obama, have bankrolled portions of their own campaigns. Republicans have been known to do it as well.
Shoot, it’s their money, as far as Dr. J. is concerned, and they should be able to spend it however they like.
President Obama has given $5,000 to his own reelection campaign, an official confirms to POLITICO.
In an email to supporters this morning, Obama said that he had given to his own reelection campaign for the first time as a symbolic gesture.
“On its own, what I gave won’t be enough to surmount the unprecedented fundraising we’ve seen on the other side, both from our opponent’s campaign and from the outside groups and special interests supporting him,” Obama wrote. “But we have always believed that there’s nothing we can’t do when we all pitch in. That includes me.”
Now, lets go to the self-indulgent video replay:
