Another Internet Multimillionaire & Obama Donor Has Some Questions
— Ace

But I don't expect Obama to randomly call on him at a campaign event anytime soon.

I have great empathy for middle class or lower middle class America. My horizons as a young adult were not expansive. I was programmed to be a produce department manager at a grocery store in my neighborhood. That was my dadÂ’s aspiration for me. I would have been proud to work hard to become a leader in a grocery store and I bet I would have been good at it, too. By luck and hard work, my career took a different path.

I say this as I read all of the rhetoric about Class Warfare, the rift that is being created between economic middle and lower class and as the President said “those millionaires and billionaires.”

The real rift in philosophy though is do you want the Government to create jobs and stimulate the economy or do you want AmericaÂ’s small business to be the engine of growth?

Economic Success has somehow become the new boogie man; some in the Democratic party are now casting about for enemies and business leaders and anyone who has achieved success in terms of rank or fiscal success is being cast as a bad guy in a black hat. This is counter to the American Dream and is really turning off so many people that love American and basically carry our country on their back by paying taxes and by employing people and creating GDP.

This is a bad move all designed by some pollster who said this is the way to get votes during the re-election. It should be stopped. We should be healing and creating teams NOT dividing and pitting people against one another.

I know the President isn’t speaking to me specifically when he talks but many times I hear stuff and I cringe personally. As a friend told me the other day who lives in China, “Every time your President talks of late, it costs us billions in market cap and in confidence in your country and your economy.” Why do we devalue success in the US when the rest of the world is trying to emulate what we have created as an economic system?

Full post here. He maxed out his donations to Obama in 2008 and is being asked to do so again.

He's not rushing to sign any checks.

Meanwhile, Herman Cain calls the president a liar on his claim that he isn't engaging in class warfare. (Duh, of course he is; it's what the pollsters told him to do.)

That's not going to lose Cain a lot of votes.

5 I just have a hard time working up much sympathy or support for anyone who supported obama last time essentially SIGHT UNSEEN. There is everything in his background to suggest he was,is, and will always be in favor of class warfare. I knew that 4 years ago and I am no genius.

8 An effect that Obama has had on the middle and lower class is everybody is asking themselves if they are really Democrats. A whole lot of people are walking away saying, no I am not.

10 So what precisely did this person think Dick Soetero would do in office when he maxed out his cash donations? He may have been surprised but it cannot be on account of a lack of information, especially in the internet age. He has a lot to learn, if late to the matter.

He maxed out his donations to Obama in 2008 and is being asked to do so again.

In other words, in 2008 he ignored all the red warning flags that were right in front of him. What a sucker.  I hope he retains that bitter and betrayed feeling regarding Democrats for the rest of his life.

Posted by: Wm T Sherman at September 27, 2011 08:15 AM (w41GQ)

15 Of course Obama is engaging in class warfare. Liberals believe that wealth is finite. This never made any sense to me. How is economics a zero-sum game? Liberals believe that since wealth is limited, rich people must literally steal from others in order to become wealthy. That's why Obama said he wanted to "spread the wealth around." Idiots.

Posted by: Joffen at September 27, 2011 08:16 AM (EPcuy)

16 So this guy just blindly opened his checkbook, with "Rev." Wright, Billy Ayers, "typical white person" Granny under the bus, "Barack is going to fundamentally change this country," etc., etc., etc.

What an idiot.

Cain is right, of course.

But Obama is going even further. Obama is a rabble rouser. He is out there asking people to "fight for him."

Fight who? Fight other Americans, that's who.

What, pray tell, was "noble" about voting for SCOAMF?  Because he happened to be black?

21 Ace,
You're wrong.
He's already ponied up for 2012--the guy loves the kool-aid and he wants some more.
He says, "I voted for our President. I have maxed out on personal donations to his re-election campaign."
He's already maxed out on the re-elect.
Fuck him. He sees what the SCOAMF is doing and STILL gave him money for re-election.
This is a "We love you, Barack! Why can't you love us back?" plea.
Again: Fuck him.

At Obama's Hollydouche fundraiser the a-hole from Modern Family told the audience of limousine liberals to "fight for Obama" so that Obama can "fight for them."

Again I ask: Fight who?

And Obama's doing the same thing. It's appalling.

Posted by: Soothsayer at September 27, 2011 08:20 AM (G/zuv)

24 So what precisely did this person think Dick Soetero would do in office when he maxed out his cash donations?

Interestingly, if you listened to explicitly left or right wing media, you knew what Obama was going to do if elected - govern as a hardcore national socialist. The former approving, the latter not, obviously.

But if you listened to the State Media, Obama was a post-partisan moderate. Yes, it was willful ignorance to only listen to the state media, but many people are too lazy to actually dig for information instead of having it spoon fed to them.

I cannot take anyone seriously that went to the dark side. I can appreciate that they've come to their senses now but I have to wonder about their sanity in the first place.

I still cannot believe "smart people" thought he was some type of moderate.

48 Let's not forget this gem from Michelle during the campaign:

Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.

Teddy...you're a useful idiot.  You're expendable in the greater scheme of things for people like Obama.  While you acknowledge and resent being labeled as a bad guy, something tells me you'll still pull the lever for the Zero come Nov 2012.  What a waste.

He says he's maxed out his donations for O's re-election.....not the 2008 election.

And he ends it by saying:

"Someone needs to talk our President down off of this rhetoric about good vs. evil; about two classes and math.

Hit a reset button ASAP.

Rethink how to talk to businesses and sell business leaders on your plan to make America great!"

So, this guy is just saying that he thinks this 'class warfare' thing is a bad strategy for getting Barky reelected!

Holy shit. Why the rush to bash this guy? He should be welcomed into the fold. Did we piss on David Mamet when he had his epiphany? Nobody likes being bashed over the head with their own ignorance, especially when they've just admitted to it. There's going to be a lot of libtards like this that are being forced to grow up by the current circumstances. Basically, his party's leader is treating him like shit and telling him people like him are the cause of America's problem. That kind of mistreatment drives people to the other side. But not when the other side is just as unsympathetic as the Democrats. Fuck that. Welcome to the party, pal. Bacon and blow on the right, hookers are on the left.

75 That was prolly the most disturbing scene I have ever seen in a movie. I'm sad you would reference it.

Yes, it was very unsettling to me as well.  I was looking for a very powerful visual to describe what's about to happen to these people.  What's truly sad is that no matter how much they pay, how high taxes for the "rich" get, it is already not enough to sate the beast that is our government and things will never get better.

Regarding the scene from the film, I think the director took a turn for the creepy when his movie stopped being cinema and suddenly become torture porn.  It would have been ok if the scene was about half or maybe a third of the length, but dragging it on for 10-15 minutes isn't pleasant to watch.  He should have cut away or ended it a lot sooner.

The issue I take is that he's already maxed out.  None of this is new information.  Also, he's not arguing Obama's premise is wrong, simply his tactics. 

If he were to max out to whomever the Republican nominee is, then yes.  Welcome aboard.  Have a beer, grab some popcorn.

I think he'll still throw the switch for SCOAMF.  Repeating your mistakes is different than learning from them.

If you had a lot of money, wouldn't you find better uses for it than giving it to politicians?

Liberals, especially.

80 I'm hoping Cain will be in the White House...as a member of the Perry administration. But you know what, it's early yet. We can still play "fantasy politics" for a bit before the real game starts. Have fun guys!

81 It would have been ok if the scene was about half or maybe a third of the length, but dragging it on for 10-15 minutes isn't pleasant to watch. Plus, I know that dude was a homo, but would it really take that long with Monica Belluci even still? /sorry, sorry, i know . . . poor taste

Posted by: HeartlessBlackOrchid at September 27, 2011 08:43 AM (SB0V2)

82 I don't believe that Zogby poll at all. I can't see how one guy with minimal coverage can jump from single digits to almost 30% practically overnight unless most of those polled jumped from Bachmann with perhaps a smaller portion leaving Perry.

Explain this to me.

Tell me, liberals, if you want to help people so much, why do you need a surrogate, i.e., the Democrat party, to do so?

84 Leonsis has inspired me. If that homeless guy at the park keeps stabbing me I will strongly consider writing a sternly worded blog post. Oh sure, I'll keep giving him money, because of poverty and inequality and such. But if he wants to risk a blog post (not to mention the attending comments) just to satisfy his stabbing urges, well, that's on him.

85 Holy shit. Why the rush to bash this guy? He should be welcomed into the fold. Did we piss on David Mamet when he had his epiphany?

Ted didn't convert.  Mamet did.

Ted stills supports them.  Mamet, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't anymore.

He wasn't a homo.  That's the twist!

He was at that gay club, but the two guys mistook someone else for him.  You briefly see him smiling at the poor guy who was mistaken for him, knowing he got away with it.  The real bad guy was about to rape that other woman before Bellucci was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Maybe Ted doesn't want the DoJ to pull a Gibsons Guitar on him, and how convenient that Ted's businesses are right there in Washington DC.  That much easier to plunder.

My read on Ted's donations to Teh Won is that Ted has already maxed out on the reelection donation, that's how it's written in the blog.

Nobody likes being bashed over the head with their own ignorance -"

Sure.  But this guy not only admits his ignorance, he doubled down on it when he maxed out to the SCOAMF.  He hasn't wised up - he's just looking at the cold semen stains on the sheets and wants Barry to come back to bed and cuddle.  Fuck him.

"Lots of good folks voted for him because they thought they were doing something noble."

And if they did, then they're self-identifying as dumb shits who didn't do the most basic vetting of a candidate before they swallowed the Kool-Aid.  God knows the MFM did nothing but tongue-bathe the fucker all through the campaign, so it was up to bloggers and conservatives to point out SCOAMF's loathsomeness.  If you knew about his shady past and his lack of any real-world experience and still voted for him, you're a moron.  If you voted for him because you felt "noble" about voting for "The First Black President," then you are a stuttering clusterfuck of a miserable failure who treated the most powerful office in the world as the equivalent of voting for American Idol.

Good folksFuck them.  Fuck all you libs and sob sisters and Obama fellators.  Willing collaborators in the destruction of this country is a more accurate description.

E o Jeff,

That's the thing.....this guy is not admitting that he was wrong.

He still supports Obama.

He is saying that he's worried Obama won't get reelected doing this 'Class Warfare' thing he's doing. ....He wants him to be reelected.

He's mentioning his donatitions to substantiate his right to be saying this....this criticism of Obama's strategy.

Posted by: ConservativeMenAreJustHotter at September 27, 2011 08:58 AM (Uxlyc)

101 What, pray tell, was "noble" about voting for SCOAMF?

I said they thought they were doing something noble.  I didn't say they were right.  I know plenty of good people who were fooled, or more accurately, permitted themselves to be fooled.

104 Herman Cain is an oreo, bitches. Posted by: Barack Obama at September 27, 2011 12:32 PM (mka2b) Funny, an insult likely to be hurled at Cain were he to get the nomination. For those of you who don't know what it is, it is a black person who is white on the inside. The delicious irony is we will have people defending Barry, a man not only half-white but with absolutely no connection to the black community until he hit academia, against a man darker than anyone in the White House. Joke is on bambi and his supporters if they pull that. Cain will not get 1/3 of the black vote, but using Steele and others as baselines in Blue states, he could very realistically nab 22-27% of it, and higher in key states like North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. In key swing states, it is minority votes that are keeping Obama competitive by any stretch. Dividing his most critical base, even by fractions of the margins he won, is enough to cost SCoaMF the election.

You like that baritone? I got your baritone right here.
Obama has caused thousands, maybe more, to forget how much they've always liked the black part of this country's culture. Cain reminds them.

Plus, we have never had a president named Herman. That's change you can believe in.

"This is a bad move all designed by some pollster who said this is the way to get votes during the re-election. It should be stopped."

This kind of talk used to leave me speechless. Now, two years later, I'm beyond speechless. This guy STILL does GET that this isn't the idea of "some pollster" - that's it's simply WHO OBAMA IS!?! Where does he even GET such an idea?

Just think of how desperate this guy must be to WANT to believe that Obama isn't REALLY like this. Is it the MSM? Have they been painting a vastly different story about Obama that somehow was believable for this guy in spite of the facts? Or is this guy telling himself that to believe Obama is a socialist makes him a racist? What is it?

Well, at LEAST he's figured out that he can't support Obama - as an institution, or something - even if he still insists on believing in Obama, as a person.
