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

  4. People who are easily offended do get further in life. Watch me today as I don't put up with any of my Sister's shit. She didn't like it when I was sweet and kind and nice so we shall see how she likes it when I put on an edge.

  5. I guess it would be more effective to tell them to fuck off and call them names then to laugh at what idiots they are. There must be some sort of book on how to conduct business properly that suggests that.

  6. Little do they know that I was cynical, I just kept my mouth shut. I guess the lesson to be learned is to not keep my mouth shut anymore and tell people to fuck off.

  7. Life does change you and leave a bitter taste in the mouth. You can thank society for that. And it seems that this was what they were hoping for.

  8. Apparently that had to change. And so it has. Can't go through a life changing experience without some sort of ramifications. And after watching my Sister for the last 8 weeks, I don't want to be like her.

  10. Yes. I am the most disgusting creature in the world that they think they can do this to me. Now I know why I have no friends. It is all making sense to me.
