Barack Obama's Campaign Shopping List

POSTED BY: TheInDecider

In a stunning acknowledgment that having more money may, in fact, be better than having less money, Barack Obama decided to opt out of public financing for his campaign yesterday, eschewing $80 million in federal funds for the $300 million in his private war chest.

At first glance, this would seem to be a betrayal of many of Obama's core principals -- his commitment to campaign finance reform, tightening ethics restrictions, and not crushing John McCain between his pointer finger and pinky -- but it's hard to blame the man when you realize how many items he's got on his campaign wish list, all of which cost $300 million.

Among those items:

*300,000,000 dollar store mini-detergents

*150,000,000 ironic John McCain yard signs

*300,000 purebred golden retrievers

*50,000 Vespa GRANTURISMOS

*300 pretty good yachts

*50 six million dollar men

*30 twelve-ounce jars of the world's leading mustard.

*1 feature-length campaign ad, directed by Michael Bay
