Obama and Money


$20 Stacks

You know the oddest thing about Obama’s campaign on a socio-political viewpoint is that he’s raised huge sums of money (the GOP would say sickening sums, but fuck them). And this is interesting, because after raising $150 million in September, he’s only got a few weeks left to spend that money, and he’s probably still raising more.

He obviously needed these huge sums of money for his 30 minutes of triple network primetime airtime that he’s buying next week to put the ultimate pimp-slapping on McCain (and the GOP in general) next week. What he’s doing is completely unprecedented in American Politics! He’s basically arranging to have his own State of the Union before he’s even president (that is if he becomes president of this teetering republic), and he’ll break it down to the real (and false) Americans on that day – less than a week before the election – and expose the fraud and backstabbing and pocket-pilfering and general fuck-all-y’all mindstate that the GOP have been propagating since Newt Gingrich got his blasphemous Contract With America issued in the early 90s.

If I was an FBI agent, a crooked one that is, I would be tapping the houses and phones of many of the so-called power brokers in the country on Election Night, just to hear what this chumps have to say! How they react, how they scowl (as if I can hear scowling, but it’s possible!).

The money that this Black Man is commanding is more money than any black could hope to even dream about amassing for a political campaign. And I’m sure all the Old Guard Negroes are swing bats at their favorite effigy and cursing up a storm that they could never raise even a fraction of Barry’s monopoly-esque money boon!

I wonder if he’ll dole it out to other politicians in need?
