Yeah, 0bama flew to Hollyweird for a $28,000 a plate fund raiser while John McCain spoke to the people who are hurting.  Shows exactly where 0bama's priorities are.


 


 


ICYMI: John McCain On Barack Obama And The Financial Markets



" talked about siding with the people, siding with the people, just before he flew off to Hollywood for a fundraiser with Barbara Streisand and his celebrity friends. Let me tell you, my friends, there's no place I'd rather be than here, with the working men and women of Ohio." -- John McCain


John McCain
Remarks
Vienna, OH
September 16, 2008


John McCain: "We've seen a telling moment in this campaign today. Senator Obama saw an economic crisis, and he's found a political opportunity. My friends, this is not a time for political opportunism; this is a time for leadership.

"Too often, we hear people say America's in decline. I reject that. I believe America's best days are ahead of us. Governor Palin and I are going to reform Wall Street. We're going to reform Washington. I'm going to fight for you, and I'm going to lead our nation forward in the greatest periods of prosperity in its history.


"And let's have some straight talk. Senator Obama is not interested in the politics of hope, he's interested in his political future and that's why he is hurling in insults and making up facts about his record.


"Today, he claimed that the Congressional stimulus package was his idea. That's news to those of us in Congress who supported it. Senator Obama didn't even show up to vote.


"He talks a tough game on the financial crisis, but the facts tell a different story. Senator Obama took more money from Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac than anyone but the chairman of the committee they answer to, and he put Fannie Mae's CEO, who helped create this problem in charge of finding his Vice President. That's not change, that's what's broken in Washington.


"He talked about siding with the people, siding with the people, just before he flew off to Hollywood for a fundraiser with Barbara Streisand and his celebrity friends. Let me tell you, my friends, there's no place I'd rather be than here, with the working men and women of Ohio. I'm going to fight for you and together we're going to win in November."

So are you saying that since the people you knew who lived in Hollywood only knew flakes and fakes that everyone in Hollywood is a flake or a fake? Isn't it possible that your friends just made some unfortunate choices in their acquaintances? Surely there are also some nice normal people there as well. Or is it possible that the only people who count are people in the McCain camp and all others are to be minimized and discounted? Interesting way to view the world.

It's NOT ridiculous that Barbara Striesand suports Obama. And ones who support McCain, that's their prerogative too.

The Republicans have convinced people that there are some bad people out there - the mainstream news media and celebrities.
