Tom Bernstein went to Yale University with Bush and co-owned the Texas Rangers baseball team with him. In 2004 he donated the maximum $2,000 to the president’s reelection campaign and gave $50,000 to the Republican National Committee. This year he is switching his support to Obama.
Hmmmm.....
Matthew Dowd, Bush’s chief campaign strategist in 2004, announced last month that he was disillusioned with the war in Iraq and the president’s "my way or the highway" style of leadership – the first member of Bush’s inner circle to denounce the leader’s performance in office. Although Dowd has yet to endorse a candidate, he said the only one he liked was Obama.
Whaaaa? Surely those 6 Corona's are making my eyes fool me. Matthew Fucking Dowd? Obama doesn't need this kinda support... But it gets worse... Try Robert Kagan, of the Project for the New American Century which started the ouster of Saddam Hussein....
in an article in the Washington Post, Kagan wrote approvingly that a keynote speech by Obama at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs was "pure John Kennedy", a neocon hero of the cold war. In his speech, Obama called for an increase in defence spending and an extra 65,000 soldiers and 27,000 marines to "stay on the offense" against terrorism and ensure America had "the strongest, best-equipped military in the world". He talked about building democracies, stopping weapons of mass destruction and the right to take unilateral action to protect US "vital interests" if necessary, as well as the importance of building alliances. "Personally, I liked it," Kagan wrote.
Didn't Jerome stir up serious shit by observing some of this...
And Now Barack is our Black Regan... God help us all, they're stealing our candidate!
But is Barack Alone in getting in bed with the Republicans???
Not to be outdone, Hillary Clinton has many Republican defectors of her own, including John Mack, chief executive of Morgan Stanley, who helped raise $200,000 for the president’s reelection, qualifying him as a "Bush ranger". He said last week that he was impressed by Clinton’s expertise. "I know we’re associated mainly with the Republicans but we’ve always gone for the individual," Mack said.
Together, they are reaching across the lines, stealing money from the coffers of the RNC...
According to figures compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics in Washington, Obama and Clinton have vacuumed up more than $750,000 in individual contributions from former Bush donors.
I guess that's good in the end... But I wonder what would happen if more people called Barack the Black Regan...
