Smear Michelle? Slander Barack? Now Obama's Small Donors Will Answer!
Barack Obama allowing his army, navy and air force of small donors to expand their participation in our democracy is one of the greatest acts of political reform since Thomas Jefferson.

Sean Hannity, of the Republican cable network, who calls himself the McCain surrogate, is very upset. David Brooks of the Times is having a snit fit, and Joe Scarborough seemed to be having heart palpitations this morning. Too bad.

Let's be blunt: Barack and Michelle Obama have long been, and will remain until Election Day, the targets of one of the great lie and smear campaigns in American political history.

Even Cindy McCain, for the second time in this campaign, became the first potential first lady in American political history to take low-blow cheap shots against the nominee of the other party.

Michelle happens to be a wonderful woman who has succeeded the old-fashioned way: She earned it. She studied hard, worked hard, was outstanding at every level of her life and rose through the excellence of her work and the quality of her character. Michelle Obama is the American Dream, and given the chance to make huge sums of money, she chose instead to make her community and our country better.

Now, with every lie, the Obama small donors -- who will soon rise to 2 million in number -- are empowered to fight back. The force of their small donations will overpower the lies of the Swift Boat right-wingers.

1. Sean Hannity is a twisted tool.
I seem to be using that term a lot lately. Wolf Blitzer is a tool as well.

But Hannity is really sick and twisted and uses the flag as a shield for his ignorant, racist, classist, propaganda.

2. Why am I not surprised
cindy mccain is the first potential First Lady in American Political History to take a low blow cheap shot against the nom of the other party?

This is priceless that Obama Team set up their political network to include activists and small donors that will number in the Millions.

This small donor was very responsive to the call during the primaries and shall continue as well as try to get others who have previously not donated to get on board:patriot: :bounce: :kick: :party:
