Too Rich to Pass Up

 

As I express in my subject line, this is too rich to pass up.

Bobby Eberle, author of "The Loft" at GOPUSA, wrote that he is on the Obama campaign email list and received the latest fund-raising plea. Completely in character, Mr. Obama trashes the "wealthy" - at least, non-Democrat wealthy. In the fund-raiser e-mail, BHO declares that, "Our average donation was $53, and 98 percent of our donations were less than $250. In that same period, nearly 80 percent of the money Romney and the Republicans raised came from just 6 percent of the donations it received -- his campaign is being driven by a team of wealthy donors." As Mr. Eberle commented, the Obama math is meaningless. What can be said is that 2% of his donations therefore come from those giving more than $250. Democrats are not without their "team of wealthy donors."

Not long after reading the GOPUSA e-mail, I ran across Peter Heck's post, "Obama: Lobbyists Bad, Gay Porn Kingpins Good." As revealed by The Weekly Standard, our sitting president pblicly thanks one of his 2% donors, a fellow by the name of Terry Bean. According to the New York Post, "One of the 'bundlers' who has raised $50,000 to $100,000 for the Barack Obama presidential campaign is Terrence Bean, who once controlled the biggest producer of gay porn in America. Bean, the first gay on Sen. Obama's National Finance Committee, is the sole trustee of the Charles M. Holmes Foundation, which owned Falcon Studios, Jock Studios and Mustang Studios, the producers of about $10 million worth of all-male pornography a year."

Wow! After going around on the campaign trail and telling American entrepreneurs of all types that they are not responsible for their success, he chooses to pay public tribute to Mr. Bean for putting so much work into his fund-raising event.

And why not? Mr. Bean was active in Oregon election support for BHO in the previous campaign and is receiving his payback. Notes Jacob Reita, who Bean hired to help run the Obama campaign in Oregon, "There is no question that if Obama is elected our next president that we will have significant national LGBT legislation passed for the very first time. If he doesn't win, it won't happen. It's as simple as that."

Isn't it about time that the 2.4 million donors that BHO claims to have know who it is they're supporting?
