Interesting how, whenever you look at the news, it’s the Democratic Party that’s bitching the loudest about the influence of big money in politics — even as Barack Obama’s latest re-election fundraising efforts set all-time records, with $86 million raised<\/a> in the second quarter of this year alone. In fact, Obama’s campaign manager, Jim Messina, reports that the Obamabots are “back, they’re energized” — although his Wall Street masters<\/a> don’t seem quite as energized as last time. They’re apparently still feeling all butthurt from Obama calling them “fat cats”.<\/p>\n

Word has it that the Obama campaign could end up raising at least a billion dollars<\/a> before the campaign is over. That’s right, ONE BILLION DOLLARS. Who the hell ever thought that one day someone would spend a billion dollars<\/em> to have himself elected President? No wonder hardly anybody bothers to vote in this country anymore.<\/p>\n

ONE BILLION GODDAMN’ DOLLARS.<\/em> Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
