Obama's same sex support brings in the campaign cash It's been a bonanza money week for the Obama campaign. A Democratic source tells CNN the campaign raised $2 million dollars in donations in the 24 hours following the President's announcement he personally support's same-sex marriage. On Friday, the president left on a campaign swing to Seattle and Los Angeles to pick up even more donations. The president dropped into Seattle where he collected roughly $3 million at two events. But the big haul came at the star-studded George Clooney blockbuster, where a Democratic official tells CNN, the reelection effort brought in $15 million. |

Now, Now, Those Bigots over at Fox dont like this, Especially Dick Morris. I see the Crane lifting him down to the studios now, Its ok Dick, they are making the doors & hallways twice as big for you soon. God Bless this president for giving people the Dignity that they deserve.
THE FUNNY THING IS SOME OF THOSE TALKING HEADS AT FOX ARE SUDDENLY SAYING THEY ARE FOR MARRIAGE EQUALITY AS LONG AS THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEIR CANDIDATE IS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY. HAHAHAHA!!!
What part of history, the last 200 years or the last 20 minutes. Maybe they are
evolving on the issue.
All these clueless, pampered, overpaid, egotistical celebrities, worshipping their golden calf, Barack Obama, are leading America right down the tubes. KICK OBAMA OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE IN NOVEMBER !!!
you know even the calthlics (a very large voting block) dont care if the gays get married...this is a non issue. How about looking at the economy and the real issues facing obama and mob...their total and absolute failure to govern.
WHEN? YOU CAN ASK DICK CHENEY. HE'S OLD.
SO, DO YOU CARE ABOUT MARRIAGE EQUALITY OR DON'T YOU? I CAN NEVER GET A 'STRAIGHT' ANSWER FROM YOU REPUBLITARDS. IF YOU DIDN'T CARE YOU WOULDN'T WASTE TAX PAYER DOLLARS TRYING TO PREVENT GAYS FROM MARRYING.
Failure to govern what do you base this on. With no help from the house of rep. This is where governing starts the deadbeat teaparty obstructionists have no clue.
Does your bum hurt too?
Breaking News -George Cloony and holly wood, big fund raising for Obama -what a surprise
The whole line that marriage existed before governments is utter bullshitt. You know what marriage was then, it was a contract between a man and the woman's father.It used to be about owning a woman and joining families together for power and property.Why do you care if somebody wants to marry who they love?" Same s ex marriage should be legal. The fact that it's illegal is embarrassing
If you're such a fan of Obama, buy his comedy album when it comes out, or watch him on late night ... but, don't gamble the future of America, by betting our survival on this loser. Thanks to Obama, over 5 trillion has been squandered in just 3 1/2 years ... our credit score has been downgraded ... our debt has just exceeded our GDP ... and, Obama wants to double down on his pathetic failed policies. Unlike you, I love America more than Obama.
Awwww poor Howard, you and Mitt have already lost.
you are right
what do ya mean by dont gamble the future of america...FYI..it was already long time during the season of your fav american idols republitards..they did many times for one when they engage in war with iraq to find their imaginary weapon of mass destruction,they stash and smash cash,thats why the average people in america are boiling in hot summer now...
You are so fast to call people bigots because they disagree with you? Is that some magical word? When you use it toward an opponent he dissolves? If he is as obstinate and intolerant of you as you apparently are of him? Grow up! Bigot, intolerant... does not move us. What moves us is truth... a gem many within this culture have rejected.
Interesting how the bigoted gay marriage supporters are against all other types of marriages.
The liberal hypocrisy is simply astounding.
???
I WOULDN'T MIND OBAMA AND ROMNEY SHAKING HANDS ON MARRIAGE EQUALITY. OBAMA CAN HAVE GAY PEOPLE MARRY AND MITT CAN HAVE POLYGAMY.
HEY CALIFORNIA CONSERVATIVE, IF YOU WANT TO MARRY YOUR DOG I'M OK WITH THAT TOO. HAHAHAHA!!!
Thanks for proving your bigotry and hypocrisy.
Typical liebral actually.
I guess that's what one of YOUR parents did.
YOU KEEP SAYING THOSE WORDS BIGOTRY AND HYPOCRISY, I DON'T THINK THEY MEAN WHAT YOU THINK THEY MEAN.
HEY HOWIE, DOES JERRY KNOW YOU'RE CHEATING ON HIM WITH CC? HAHAHAHA!!!
Abraham Lincoln said ... "You can fool some of the people ALL of the time" ... You're obviously the FOOL he was talking about !!!
YEAH BUT ABE WAS KIDDING WHEN HE SAID THAT. I SHOULD KNOW BECAUSE HE JUST TEXTED ME. HAHAHAHAA!!
nyahahaa..
George W Bush said: "You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you should concentrate on."
First of all , I can tell you are no where near California. Second, your guy, Mitt has already lost. Most of the American people KNOW what the GOP/TP stands for. Just look at the legislation put forward by the Repubs in the states and in the HOUSW. . Take, take, take form the middle class and the poor and give to the very rich. JUST read the ryan budget. That is all you have to do to see what the GOP/TP stands for.
HOUSE
The Obama supporters and main stream media don't care about truth, or facts ... they deal in smear campaigns, and lies. Like their corrupt leader, Barack Obama, they will say, or do anything to keep Obama in power. In November, replace Obama with a man who is honest, and competent ... Mitt Romney.
Howard, have you even read the Ryan Budget. HUH? This is the budget that Mitt supports. READ IT. And see how much Ryan and Mitt care about YOU.
THE OBAMA STOOGES KEEP TELLING US HOW 'COOL' OBAMA IS ... WHILE HE CONTINUES TO LIE TO US ... STEAL FROM US ... AND PLUNGE US DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO DEBT !!!
Howard, did you read the Ryan Budget. Read it
i read the ryan plan but can't find the reid plan help me out
Jesus was the Original Liberal
As far we know Jesus didn't continually lie for his own gain so he can't be liberal.
Jesus was the original liberal he loved everybody not just some
Jesus was neither liberal nor was He conservative! He never played politics! Yes, Jesus loved everyone BUT that is half the story! He warned about the wages of sin! Not surprisingly, you left that part out! This is all in the Bible, if you would read it with spiritual understanding!
JESUS HATES YOU STEVEO. HE TOLD ME SO. HAHAHAHAA!!!
DEcember 2012
JESUS HATES YOU STEVEO. HE TOLD ME SO. HAHAHAHAA!!!
--------
Sorry dude, that would have been satan talking to you and I know he hates me! He also hates Jesus and ALL believers! Actually he hates everyone! Just uses people! Wake up! !
ACTUALLY, SATAN IS THAT DUDE YOU SEE IN THE MIRROR EVERYDAY BUT YOU ARE TOO MUCH OF A JESUS FREAK TO REALIZE. HAHAHAHAA!!!
Decemeber,
Well too bad you don't know what you're talking about but have a nice day!
Sorry Steveo he was a liberal and for his day political.
"The execution of John the Baptist is likely to have had a profound effect on Jesus. God's non-intervention might have caused Jesus to modify the apocalyptic vision of John the Baptist–which was probably a product of the perceived hopelessness of the peasants' plight–to one that emphasized change in the structure of political and religious institutions. The teachings of Jesus, who began his ministry around 28 or 29 C.E., describe an ideal world, a world that might exist if God–and not Caesar or the high priests–had his way. Jesus spoke primarily of the need to change the here and now, and less of need to ready oneself for the arrival of an avenging God. Needless to say, a religious program of the sort presented by Jesus would likely be seen as threatening by powerful beneficiaries of the status quo, from Roman leaders to Temple officials. "

Jean2009,
Sorry Jean! He challenged the teachers of the Law (the religious) and NOT the poltical! Plenty of scripture to back that up! He did not challenge the Roman government, that is why Pilate could find anything to charge Jesus with! He threatened the religious establishment! For that reason the Jewish leadership reviled Him! The were the ones who brought Him before the Romans authorities. One would figure if Jesus was a threat to Rome, they would have gotten Him without the help of the Jews! Back then Poltical power belonged to Rome and not the Jews as the Romans occupied Israel!
@Steveo ...you aren't reading are you?
http://www.thenazareneway.com/holy_week/why_was_jesus_arrested.htm
@Steveo...http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/james_still/jesus_trial.html
@jean, This is from the info you provided, Here are a few highlights and my comments.
1. A formal decision to arrest Jesus had in fact been made several months earlier. The Jewish religious officials were afraid that if Jesus were to continue performing his signs, he would win over the people and the Romans would come in and destroy the Temple and nation.
It appears the JEWS were politically afraid and NOT Jesus!
2. There were political reasons for dealing with Jesus. There had been a dozen uprisings in Palestine in the previous 100 years, most of them subdued by Roman force. Another Messianic rebellion under Jesus would only shatter the precarious balance of authority, break Rome's patience, and might lead to direct occupation by Roman legions.
Again, the Jewish leadership was politically concerned, NOT Jesus!
I read this article Jean and everywhere politics was concerned, it was in reference to the Jews who were worried about the Romans!
The article did say how Jesus bested the Pharisees in debate. Who were the Pharisees? The religious leaders! Jesus challenged the religious and not the political!
@Jean,
Here's the Major issue with James Sill who in the article said: Hebrew teachings do not specify that the Messiah would be born of a virgin,
Really?? Read this:
Isaiah 7:14 NKJV
Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.
If Sill cannot get the virgin birth right which is critical to Christianity, what else is he getting wrong???
Why should Obama aprove gay marraige?
Because in the 21st Century civil rights for all is the right thing to do.
This Months Salt Lake City Magazine cover, "The Myth of Mitt". Read it!
The sad this about liberals ... they blindly believe what other liberals say ... the good thing, they think they come from monkeys ... now that is funny
jon, and we can all see how ignorant you really are
Some people yourself included are not only descended from monkeys but still have a huge appetite for bananas.
Most Americans know that President Obama is for equal rights for ALL Americans.
Mitt is just NOT a likeable person. Seem stiff like he is uncomfortable in his own skin.
and....you are an idiot who believes what your coolaid distorted mind tells you.
As usual Jerry, you have no idea what you are talking about. You and Mitt have already lost. You are going to be sooooooooo sad in NOV 2012
You know who drinks a lot of cool aid?... Mormons
OBAMA believes in equal rights ... yeah, he believes that the free loading bums, occupiers, criminals, and other dregs of society, should share equally, in the income earned by hard working, moral, law abiding citizens ,,, or, maybe he doesn't ... he has flipp flopped so many times on these issues ... he has no convictions, or principles ... he seems to believe in whatever will get him campaign contributions, or votes ... so, when it comes to Obama ... it's ALL about whatever benefits Obama !!!
Sound more like RoMoney to me Howard!! What are you on!??
It appears Obama is all about two things, cash and power.
Sponge? Is that like in soaking up Fox News lies?
awwwwww poor, jerry, howard and spongie, just cant get over the fact that President Obama is for marriage equality for ALL AMERICANS
This pretty much proves what everyone thought. Obama did it for the money.
This was in Seattle and the goal was $3million. The cameras did not show the many many protestors and the anger toward obama... I know I have friends there who told me yesterday. obama is in trouble...even in the leftist seattle area.
Well can't be in to much trouble ....he got 3 mill........Obama 2012
of course you don't know what you are talking about http://seati.ms/JkFC1W
I was in Seattle to hear President Obama talk; I waited in line for 2 hours to get into the Paramount Theater and I didn't see any protesters at all. It was an exhilirating speech and it made me proud to be a citizen of the United States of America
like it...Pres O 2012..
Jerry, I was there. Your friends are either not telling you the truth or are exaggerating
. I live across the street from where the event took place. There were MANY supporters of Obama and very few protestors as usual. Don't believe what you hear. Again, I was there!!!!
The only thing turn around is President Obama ego getting bigger and doing everything he can to get re-elected with gimmicks .
All the gays sent their money to Obama for him trying to save them money on their tax return. All they want is to be able to check "Married filing jointly" so they can get the savings. They don't actually care about being married! Of course if the Bush tax cuts aren't extended it would probably be better that they file seperately to avoid the marriage penalty that the Bush tax cuts eliminated. Marriage should not be a government issue anyway. It is a religious issue! And by the way, according to the Holy scripture, marriage is between a man and a woman!
SO IS IT TAXES OR SCRIPTURE? I CAN NEVER GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER FROM YOU NUTJOBS.
That is the most stupid post on here....
Should any religious establishment have the right to impose its beliefs on all citizens of the USA? Should all women required to hide their face or men over 21 required to have beards? The first amendment of the USA constitution says no.
Okay, gay marraige passes then it is not valid from one week or month to the next. Then if you listen close enough all you heard Obama say was that he feels they should have the same rights. He did not say he would pass gay marraige and he left it up to the states..... Double talk and all that gay people do is pour money and hopes and dreams in to silly political idiots that have not put it into law. You are being used again and if you were smart you would understand that someone is keeping count.... The economy is a problem no matter if you are gay or straight and the current leadership is has done nothing except tell us that we have to pass bills before we can see what is in it.... Give it a rest people, your rights as a human being to be treated equal in the eyes of all regarding benefits is a human right and not a gender right for either side. To all my sisters out their read up on Sharia Law because that is what is coming and everything you post on the web is subject to review, arrest and whatever this current administration passes through without all of us as human being pay attention to........ Wake Up America it is not about division, it is about our future and if we do not get this economy back in check we will all be broke.....
once again the wingnuts open their mouths so we all can see how stupid they really are. Hum 20 mill in one day not bad. Forward.
well bachman just gave up her swiss citizenship mitt has his money in the caymens and beats up on gay kids. . Perry couldnt debate his way out of a paper bag caine was to busy chaseing women rick made up his own history . Orangeman is a drunk and all want to screw the middleclass. You can't make this stuff up. And now mitt has saved the auto industry and against same sex marriage which he was ok with before he flip flopped the other way. Are we keeping all this straight. I love listening to the wing nuts on this post defending their choice for president. They reafferm what is so wrong with the republican party. No common sense no morals and no compassion for anyone but themselves. Forward 2012
He only did it to help with re-election and more importantly funding for the election. If this was not true then why did it happen now instead of years ago. What a setup, first have the VP come out and "force" his hand... any fool could see through that scam.
Why does Obama hate Catholics
TOO MUCH KNEELING, NOT ENOUGH LOVING
Maybe because the priests are pedophiles
WHY DO CHRISTIANS HATE EACH OTHER? SO MANY CHRISTIAN "RELIGIONS" CALLING EACH OTHER FAKE, IT MAKES THE BUDDHA CRY.
OOps, sorry – forgot the question mark.
Cristains for President Obama 2012
Why did Obama announce his views on gay marriage had "evolved" right before the George Clooney Hollywood fundraiser and before his up-coming June appearance at the LBGT Gala? MONEY!!! He is willing to sell his soul, compromise all his "Christian" principles and say whatever anyone or any group wants to hear for contributions! Well now...is this similar to prostitution?
And now we see the motive behind this announcement. i wonder what Obama's Muslim friends think of this. Or what does the Rev.Wright think of Obama's revolving decisions?
Billy and Franklin Graham have changed the world with their testimony and individual efforts and so it grieves me that these representatives of a religious tax exempt organization involved themselves in a political foray. Effecting and promoting the passage of any law by a religious organization in the USA is unconstitutional by the first constitutional amendment in the “Bill Of Rights” and rightly should be so.
Romney has alzheimers or dementia he says so many different things about the same subjects,and thinks he wears magic underware wtf
Willards dad took his family to Mexico so he could keep all of his wives, but I you right wingers don't want to talk about that!
grandfather.
Oprah needs to host a show with Ellen and the Porche
"porsche"
Portia de Rossi
ROMNEY DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU OR THIS COUNTRY.
HATE WALL ST. AND LOVE YOUR BROTHER MAN
HATE WALL ST. AND FEEL YOUR SISTER
WHEN ALL THE PIGS PLOP AFTER THERE MONEY DROPS THE HIP- HOPS WILL UNDERCUT THE ROMP OF THE SOCIAL COPS
Funny,not, how barry can put his 2 cents about a nothing issue. 3.5 yrs of doing nothing as the president. What a PUTZ!!
HEY JOE, HOW DOES IT FEEL LIVING UNDER A ROCK? YOU MIGHT WANT TO CRAWL BACK BECAUSE THE SOVIETS ARE OUT TO GET YOU. HAHAHAHAHAA!!!
nothing in tree yrs??? to name a few saved us from a great depression, saved wall st, saved the auto industry, killed BO...just to name a few...stop listening to faux news u might learn something.
meant OB..
saved us...saved us...obama? hahaha...now, that is funny.
Lame he changed his stance on queers to get their votes in the next election
Three points: 1.) It doesn't matter what the Christian Conservatives say about the scriptures and legislation because the highest law in the United States, the Constitution, has a non-establishment clause which dictates that the country will never declare any preference of religion or official national religion. 2.) Same-Sex marriage bans are not only against everything that the United States stands for, but are thoroughly unconstitutional under the 14th amendment which gives equal protection under the law for all citizens. That is not even to mention the equal faith and credit clause which would dictate that if a married gay couple were to move from Massechusetts to, say, South Carolina, the South Carolina government would be forced to acknowledge the marriage as legal. 3.) The divorce rate in the United States is around 50% which, to me, says that straight couples have already destroyed marriage without gay people being allowed to marry in the majority of states. It's not like they can't love each other.
I thought as long as we're dregidng up the past, might as well go all in. So McCain's wife was a drug addict, so was our current President. In the next six months we're going to hear about every single mistake Obama, Clinton and McCain have made in their lives, and most voters will probably base their vote on those mistakes (because they'll get so much press) without knowing where the candidates stand on almost every issue.
Did you know, in 2009 Union Pensions were seriously underfunded. Less than 62% funded where 65% is considered to be critically underfunded.
Did you know in 2008 Unions borrowed over $380 million dollars from their pension funds to elect Obama.
Did you know a large part of the stimulus bill (your money) went to fund Union Pensions.
Did you know the Citizens United case now allows Unions to spend unlimited money on campaign financing.
Did you know Unions are expected to spend over $400 million on Obama's re-election, from your money and given to the Unions under the Stimulus Bill.
Its always about the money and nothing else.
May God have mercy on obama.he is a hater of Gods holy word. he is not a leader.he is sending millions of people to hell by supporting same sex marriage.wouldn't want to be in his shoes when he stands before God.
so now the cash is coming out of the closet. obama is the biggest suckup in the history of American presidents. what a weakling.
At least the president takes a risk and tells the truth about his own position.The other guy keeps his money in foreign countries and can't remember attacking a guy in high school.What kind of American keeps all his money overseas.And how can anyone with half a brain forget he attacked someone no matter how long ago.You have to be a nitwit or a liar to say you can't remember such an incident.Add to that Romney said he doesn't care about the poor or middleclass,that's enough for me.Not to mention he's a little negligent with dogs. Obama2012!
How may of Clooney's guests have Cayman accounts, Swiss accounts and hidden assets? Doesn't seem the President has any qualms about dipping into those to fund his reelection.
Go Obama, do it QUICK and get out of here!! We love you and Rumyon .this fooese as a long for the late of therir fight!!m
Hey Obama....gay marriage isnt the election issue...it the Economy...Stupid.
Sold "HIS" soul for the re-election $$$
Oh.. Ya.. Let's vote for "HIM"
FORWARD to Total Depravity !!!
Worked well for Rome
If you don't think that this whole gay marriage thing is a smokescreen by the Obama campaign to keep America's mind off of the screwed-up economy as we approach the election, then you're not paying attention. This is important (and should be addressed on a state by state basis), but it's definitely NOT the most important issue facing the survival of our country right now.
Obama's same sex support brings in the campaign cash
---
This as he loses the Hispanic and black votes.
Congrats!!!! Keep up the good work.
I just wonder how long obama will be able to create these little media blasts to redirect Americans attention from the real issues...his abject failure as a president...and the fact that Mitt is leading him in the polls and he just got started..... this gay marriage thing was just stupid...shows just how incompetent obama really is...and unpresidental.
OMG!!...Ooooops!! Please forgive me for that last non-sensical post that I tried to write at 1:30 am on May 14, 2012. I must have fallen to sleep, mistakenly deleted som of the sentences and blatantly misspelled words, even Romney's name!! LOL! Rumny isn't supposed to be on the same line with 'We love you'; something was deleted, but I must have tried to wake up and entered it anyway!! 'fooese'?? LOL!! I just don't know, but sorry folks!!
