I'll keep this sort.
I had planned on giving another couple hundred to Obama this week. Then I saw that they are planning a $2+ Million dollar election night party in Grant Park, and the bill is being paid by the campaign.
I'm kinda pissed about this.
This is not what I signed up for when I contributed money to his campaign.
I was giving money to pay for tv ads, phone calls, yard signs etc. Not a celebration party.
If he has an extra 2-3 million to blow on a party, he should be giving it to down ticket candidates, or holding onto it in case there is a legal battle, or keeping it for use in the 2010 elections.
You want a party? Fine, have a party. I'll even attend, but you should charge the people who are attending in order to pay for the cost of the party. Taking some poor persons 10 bucks a month that they contributed for change in the country and spending it on a celebration like this is NOT the kind of decision I have come to expect from Obama.
