— Ace $500,000 gets you special access to the president.
Previously, I suppose, this was just understood; but, in case you were unsure, Obama's making it an explicit cash-money guarantee.
When asked about it, Jay Carney babbles something about the DISCLOSE Act and kinda sorta literally runs from the podium.

Honestly, if anybody was trying to get "special access" to influence policy, this is the one to see.

Ya know, when TFG got elected the first time and started in on destroying everything, I was saying its not so much this guy I'm afraid but the guy what comes after. Still standing on that mostly becoz there's a lot of ruin that a country like ours can get up to.

You know, I distinctly remember watching Nancy Pelosi wilt under questioning about her knowledge of enhanced interrogation techniques and her literally inching away from the podium all jumpy and teary eyed over being caught red-handed in several lies.
I thought to myself how I had never seen something like this before, and delighted that this would be the end of her political career.
Yeah. Unfortunately this sort of thing is just a hiccup in the daily Progressive shitburger we get to eat. If only I had known.

All of politics today is nothing but the accumulation of Slush Funds. Obamacare is the most audacious grab in history, with literally hundreds of Slush Funds. It is so big that even if the Press was inclined to investigate, they couldn't even scratch the surface.

I can't get my outrages straight.
12 years ago Clinton was selling pardons for $400,000, so I'd have to say that $500,000 is about right if there's a few added quid for the pro quo.

Man! Honest to god! You people ARE the most disgsuting human being in history. You racists give the KKK and the Nazis a run of their money! Using God's name to promote your racist rants, and your racist bigoted black-hating agenda shows what disgsuting scumbags you are!
President Obama is correct, our leaders should not spend their time moving from an economic or fiscal crisis to another. It almost seems as what now passes for governance is limited to dealing with the fabricated crisis of the month. This latest "crisis" was precipitated by the GOP insistence on spending reductions as a condition to agree to raise the debt ceiling two years ago. I guess we should be thankful they did not do the same when the debt ceiling was raised 18 times when Ronald the Merciful was in office, or when it was raised 7 times while W the Puppet was chopping wood in Crawford.
if President Obama is a DO NOTHING, why are people like you constantly criticizing everything he does? He hs proposed more legislation and achieved more goals in four years than his predecessor did in eight, with a Republican controlled Congress during his first six years in office. President Obama's record, in spite of all the obstructionism and demonization, is among the best in modern history. That's one of the reasons people like you hate his guts, but the main reason is because He is black!
Racist! Racist! Azzhole!
What's the story exactly? This is the same stuff that the SEIU and other 'community organizing' organizations do. What's the surprise?j
Why? Does the President lose his 1st Amendment rights when he takes the oath of office? Otherwise, the man can endorse anything he wants. This is America.
And stop with the communist nonsense. Obama is not even close to what many would consider a communist. Please read up on the definition.
Is Barack Obama an Evil Man? NO
Is Barack Obama destroying America? NO
Is Barack Obama a usurper? NO
Is Barack Obama a traitor? NO
Is Barack Obama a Marxist? NO
Is Barack Obama a Communist? NO
Is Barack Obama a Liar? NO
Does Barack Obama hate America?I don't think so
Is Barack Obama a fraud? NO
Are you a stupid hateful racist that hates having a black man as President?
YES
Comparing Obama to Hitler in any way is ridiculous, disgusting and ignorant. Crawl into a hole, you troll!
As expected, The the racists (not patriots) have a problem with Mrs. Obama, in a silver dress by designer Naaem Khan, was as glamorous as any of the women who walked the red carpet, only racists don't agree with this!
The cameras and crew were most likely paid for by the show's producers. Taxpayers may have footed the bill for a meal for the service men and women in attendance, maybe some overtime for those same people. Are you so miserly that you'd begrudge an evening at the White House for those service men and women? What in blazes is wrong with you? Is your hatred for the Obamas that deep that such an irrational criticism seems logical? Your continued reference to the FLOTUS as "Moochelle" shows a lack of character as well as a diminished intellect.
I find it funny that everyone forgets that Laura Bush was part of the Oscars in 2002, and Ronald Reagan was a part of the Oscars in 1981. I donÂ’t remember there being this much made of them....oh wait they were White so it doesn't matter!
Do you want an angry gunman killing everyone you love with military grade weapons? I thought not. He is right.
You racists ONLY want to be impeach him because he's black! Admit it! He;s done nothing worth being impeached!
Looks Like calling a the President a fratud and a POS seems to be the calling card for racists and bigots like you!
