Yesterday on Hardball, Chris Mathews was talking to the crowds and of course we got to witness the nutty PUMA women spewing bullshit crazy talk on how Obama went to a Madrassa. It was painful to watch older people act so immature, but then a few minutes later a young black woman got a chance to speak to them and she did it in such an eloquent manner I was proud of her acting for like a rational adult. I believe the younger generation will try to get rid of the older people's divisive political tactics that has dogged this nation for the past 30 years. The older generation should be ashamed of themselves, because the kids are watching every move you make and we are thoroughly disappointed. The harshest things said about the Obamas have come from the older people, you know the people who are suppose to set an example for us, but the lack of this leadership is why a 4 year senator who couldn't even afford a rental car to attend the convention 8 years ago is now the nominee to become the President of the United States.
Politico is reporting that Barack Obama raised $25 million on the last day of the month.
His one-day haul represents nearly half of his monthly total and more than Republican rival John McCain generated for the entire month. During the month, McCain did not have a single day in which he raised a million dollars.
Overall, Obama raised $54 million for his campaign in June, compared to $22 million for McCain.
In addition to fundraising, the June expenditures offered insight into the different tacks the candidates are taking toward winning the presidency in November
This is great news, Obama has used his vast pool of donors to achieve this great feat and I give kudos to the man. It is great to be a Democrat!
