Finally: The Video of Obama Donating $5K to Himself

You may have heard already that President Obama donated $5,000 to his own campaign. Depending on your political persuasion and what you think of the president, that’s either very noble of him or it screams of desperation.

Of course, there is always a third option: you don’t care.

For those of you who do (for a myriad of reasons, we’re sure), we invite you to watch the following video released on Monday by the Obama campaign:

Final thought — In regards to the line, “We don’t get some of the massive checks that the other side does,” that just simply isn’t true. Didn’t Bill Maher and Morgan Freeman both donate $1,000,000 a piece to the Obama reelection campaign?

Furthermore, we don’t recall anyone on that “side” complaining in 2008 when they hauled in a record-smashing $750 million from fundraisers. And we really don’t recall anyone on that “side” explaining how outspending Sen. John McCain by a ratio of 3-to-1 was a “bad” thing.

Okay, so let’s see if we understand this correctly: Romney’s “massive checks” are bad, our “massive checks” are good. Got it.

    BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT WANTED!!! You are a weak, hateful man that panders to the dregs of soceity and America’s enemies. Americans see you for what you are, an enemy to America that wants to bring America to her knees and we will not allow it!

      You know things are rough when the Prez is dipping into his savings to fund his campaign. And why not,since most Americans under his reign, have long since depleted theirs. I guess he’s going to have to vacation with his Chewbacca wife stateside for a while. Maybe they should sit down and discuss tightening their belts, and sticking to a budget. Ha!

      This is a clear sign of total desperation from this campaign and it is an act to appeal to the “normal” voter. Big problem though since that “normal” voter has NO $$ due to the economy that Obama has systematically brought to its knees over the one and only term he has served. Not only that, these same “normal” voters are on to his game and the gig is up because they are not going to get fooled again. The surprising thing is that he only gave himself $5k ? I guess Michelle is saving their $$ to buy more $7k outfits to wear.

      Reading through some other threads, I get the distinct impression many conservatives believe Obama is deliberately trying to destroy the nation. This is despite the fact that he is doing the right thing by our Armed Forces (extracting them from two senseless wars), our blue collar workers (helping the auto manufacturers weather the financial crisis), and our less fortunate neighbors (moving toward a single payer health care system that provides greater access for all Americans). Besides that, he has two daughters; as a parent, I could not imagine deliberately trying to ruin my son’s future by turning the U.S. into a third world country. Yet this is exactly what many here claim Obama is doing.

      I guess the question is…does your hatred of the man or his policies cloud your better judgment? Do you truly believe Obama would destroy his daughters’ futures because he hates the principles America was founded on? Or is this so much partisan hyperbole, designed to fire up the conservative base to get behind a candidate that, quite frankly, isn’t all that different from Obama?

However, this may be the first video ever made of the actual act. An historic moment for sure. OK, so now we know Obama has the ability to use a computer, whine, lie, and actually spend some of his own money, all at the same time! What an amazing multi-tasker.

      You clearly need to ask more questions. You are brainwashed. Please think through exactly who would initiate prosecution or impeachment. Think through who controls the Senate. Reflect on how 0bama got into Harvard with admitted poor grades at Occidental as well as being a choomer. Smoking pot was not exactly well-received in mainstream society in the early 1980′s. Yet, 0bama somehow gains entrance to one of the toughest universities in the country and becomes President of the Harvard Law Review. How do think that occurred?

      Your blanket name-calling here does nothing to have anyone take your comments seriously. We are quite immune to categorically being called racists. It is quite tiresome actually. Besides, I could join ancestry.com and find out my family genealogy traces back to a slave just like 0bama’s mama.

      Obama is a phony from front to back! He claims to be defending the “Little Guy” but all the time taking exquisite vacations at top resorts, golfing more than any previous president, having Michelle wear a $6900 coat to a function (Who paid for that?), letting Michelle take an extensive shopping trip to London and the list goes on and on.

    There is an Islamic belief that it is acceptable to lie to anyone to achieve a goal. Obama, being a Muslim, is simply following this belief.

      It’s called Taqiyya and the more Americans know about it, the better. We cannot let it spread here, in the false name of multi-culturiism.

      I’m glad there are others who believe him to be Muslim. I lived in Indonesia, understand their culture and have a better than average understanding of Islam. He was adopted by and Islamic Indonesian– prayed 5 times a day, went to Mosque, etc— Every time that lying corrupt bastard proclaims his Chritianity, he fulfills the Islamic tenet to lie and deceive in order to spread and sow the seeds of Islamic hate.

      So Moochelle thinks a shirt is more valuable than a political campaign? It is rare but I agree with Moochelle.

      Should have saved some of that “$2.7 BILLION dollars spent in the clothing industry since Barry got into office”……right Michelle ?
      Don’t let the article about the $6,800.00 top worn by Michelle to meet the Queen scan over the above remark.
      And you are worried about Ann Romney buying a $1,000. blouse with her own money ? Whoa, her horses don’t even come close to that $2.7 BILLION ! And do NOT forget the vacations.

      I agree Magyar; I also lived in Indonesia for 2 horrible years (1974-’76). I got stoned by some of them in the street I lived in in Jakarta and they called me Christian dog and then shortly after that I was walking with my little son who was 4 years old (he went to the American Embassy school) and 3 of those 17 or 18 year olds attacked us. I know and practiced (and can still practice it) the old fashioned close contact Karate and I let them have it, they fled like the cowards that they are and from that day on when I came out of the gate of my house, everyone disappeared into their house and hid… good, I was left in peace from that day on. They feared me big time, the white, blond Western woman. They had never dealt with someone like me; I am fiercely independent and free.There I learned what Muslims are with their backward, stupid, oppressive ways. I do not want to see that happen here in the USA and we must get that arrogant POS and all his cronies and thugs out of the WH.

    So he took money from his right pocket and put it in his left. We need a video of THAT?

      I like how easy he makes it look to donate $5,000.

      See……you just sit at a computer and enter a few key strokes and……

      VOILA magic money materializes out of nowhere.

      It actually is a sad image. It’s not going to win any support for him. Presidents need to appear resolute and here is Obama looking sad and helpless.

    Perhaps George Clooney, Sarah Jessica Parker and Anna Wintour can reach a little deeper into liberal elitist pockets for him?
    It doesnt’ get sadder than “hey guys look..I”m donating to myself..so please donate to me too”.
    This has to be a Plouffe idea…Axelrod goes with the ginning up of “black cred” for votes by “suggesting, may, possibly” Obama’s links to slaves through his white mother..no less.

      Amen to that. Of course, he is using our money, not his, because he doesn’t have any of his own having ALWAYS used our money all his unnatural life.
