I did not know that the Clinton's also donated the max to Obama
"Yesterday's unity rally followed an elaborate courtship dance centered on money. At a Washington hotel Thursday night, Clinton urged her largest benefactors to give to Obama, who earlier this week asked his big-dollar donors to help Clinton retire her campaign debt.

In a symbolic gesture, Obama announced that he and his wife, Michelle, had each contributed the maximum $2,300 to Clinton's debt retirement fund. Clinton aides said that she and President Bill Clinton returned the favor yesterday by contributing to Obama's campaign."

That was a very classy gesture, and I want to take this time to acknowledge the Clinton's and the Obama's and thank them for it. :patriot:

2. Very classy, indeed.
I think they know what they are doing.

Thanks for posting this (just ignore that JeffR guy - no sense of humor, that one).

3. This might be a great chance to use my prototype Automatic Special DUzy Ignore
feature. So far, I've got Ted Danson, Sir Isaac Newton and General Pershing on it.

OK, so maybe the coding still has a few bugs...

9. I would add to that Moses
Possibly one of the most humorless people that ever lived.

10. Yes
As a "rabid Clinton hater" I occasionally have a moment of clarity and will acknowledge when they do good. :D

11. It was indeed
As someone who almost never acknowledges good deeds by the Clinton's I'd like anyone who follows my posts to see this thread and hopefully follow my path (and yes, I mean my public profile).
