For years, the Left loved it when protesters got in the faces of President Bush, Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and others in the Bush administration. They relished the idea of Cindy Sheehan perpetually reclining on her lawn chair near the Bush ranch. They ate it up when Code Pink stormed Secretary Rice at a Congressional hearing. They guffawed when Bush got called a "war criminal," "Hitler," and "evil" while being hung in effigy.
One of the lessons in life is that what goes around usually comes around. President Obama doesn't seem to have gotten the memo.
Thursday morning, he spoke at a high-end fundraiser in San Francisco. A group of radical leftwingers bought their way in, and then proceeded to hijack the event. Here is the pool report. I have capitalized the particularly hilarious details:
Protesters hit high-end Obama fundraiser...
Thurs April 21 2011 12:52:09 EDT
Motorcade left the Intercontinental Hotel at 9 am local and arrived at the St. Regis for President Obama's last Bay area fundraiser. A couple dozen demonstrators are on a corner across the street from the hotel. They have signs - "YES WE CANNIBIS" - and are chanting something your pooler couldn't make out. One of them also has sign of Uncle Sam's face with "LIAR" written on his hat.
About 200 donors were at the breakfast fundraiser, per a Democratic official. Your pooler counted 15 tables with 10 chairs each, however, NOT ALL THE TABLES WERE FULL, including one in the back where Valerie Jarrett, Jay Carney and Patrick Gaspard sat with two other people. Tickets are $35,800 each.
POTUS was introduced by Nancy Pelosi. "We can thank him for bringing HOPE where there was despair for some," Ms. Pelosi said. POTUS, she said, was a JOB CREATOR from the start. "His re-election is absolutely essential to our country's future," Ms. Pelosi said. POTUS spoke with a handheld mic. "I'LL ADMIT THAT I SORT OF SLEPT IN," POTUS said.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Lt Gov. Gavin Newsom was seated front, former Mayor Willie Brown, "no matter how hard I try, Willie is still better dressed than me - although I'm still getting used to the NO MOUSTACHE thing." POTUS called Ms. Pelosi one of the GREATEST SPEAKERS in history. He started to launch into his stump speech when MS. PELOSI INTERRUPTED to say Gov. Jerry Brown had been there.
Mr. Obama was in the middle of his remarks when a woman in a white suit stood up and said, "Mr. President we wrote you a song." POTUS tried to get her to wait until later, but she persisted and the table of 10 broke into a song that pointed out they'd just spent $5,000 donating to his campaign and went on to protest the treatment of Pfc. Bradley Manning. The woman stayed standing as they sang. OBAMA LOOKED TO MS. PELOSI AND ASKED, "NANCY, DID YOU DO THIS?" MS. PELOSI HAD A LOOK ON HER FACE THAT DEFINITELY SAID SHE DID NOT. The song talked about Bradley Manning and how he is "alone in a cell..."
The 10 singers then passed around signs that said "Free Bradley Manning" or had a photo of him. Then the woman in the white suit STRIPPED OFF HER JACKET to reveal a black T-shirt that said Free Bradley Manning, with an image of him. US Secret Service and WH staff had moved near the table at this point. The woman was escorted out. As she left, she said, "Free Bradley Manning. I'm leaving. I HOPE I DON'T GET TORTURED IN JAIL."
"That was a nice song," a DISPLEASED Mr. Obama said. "Now where was I? THAT DIDN'T BREAK MY FLOW."
For your enjoyment, here are the lyrics to the song with which they serenaded Obama:
Dear Mr. President we honor you today sir
Each of us brought you $5,000
It takes a lot of Benjamins to run a campaign
I paid my dues, where's our change?
We'll vote for you in 2012, yes that's true
Look at the Republicans - what else can we do
Even though we don't know if we'll retain our liberties
In what you seem content to call a free society
Yes it's true that Terry Jones is legally free
To burn a people's holy book in shameful effigy
But at another location in this country
Alone in a 6x12 cell sits Bradley
23 hours a day is night
The 5th and 8th Amendments say this kind of thing ain't right
We paid our dues, where's our change?
It was all fun and games when it happened to Bush. Now, it's not so amusing, Mr. President, is it? (Yes We Cannabis!)

Boycott baseball - Start a campaign! Ticket prices are too high,and tax cuts are being used to keep ticket prices high. I protest! No sportster should be paid 20m/annum. Maybe 2. LETS GET REAL!
Our - often all too apt -- warrior princess was correct last year when she claimed "Going to a ball game should not be a month's rent". This is no longer the American pastime.

Ummah,
Looks like you got Scumella to set a new Personal Best in freakout and number of caps. Now she might threaten an appointment in Gehenna.
Posted by: gringoman | April 23, 2011 at 04:37 PM
How about a Rassmussen poll on baseball. When was the last time you attended a baseball game, and are the games too expensive?
Posted by: Dgscol | April 23, 2011 at 04:40 PM
You're just not making any sense. RR's son Ron is a flaming f@ggot who h@tes his father.
Any more questions?

LMAO. Another load of tripe from the resident, koran-burning, kooky bigot.
btw genius, I 100% support the candidacy of Trump. Dems won't have to waste a dime campaigning against him; the repugs and religious right will take care of that for us.
Posted by: Liberator | April 23, 2011 at 07:48 PM
On the contrary. I know very well what marginal tax rates are. More importantly, I understand that if you subject wealth creation to a 91% tax, it will remove the INCENTIVE to create wealth!
Jay, do you understand the concept of CAUSALITY? i.e. 'cause and effect'?
Can you fathom the EFFECT the disincentive a 91% top marginal tax rate will CAUSE?!? Again the key to understanding this is the word INCENTIVE.
Posted by: DJ | April 23, 2011 at 08:36 AM
So throughout the 50s the tax rate was at 91-92%.
http://www.truthandpolitics.org/top-rates.php
If, anyone would look at the tax rates since 1913. They would find that the 91% tax rates of the 50s didn't hurt us. But, the 24-25% of the late 1920s did. Not, saying to GO BACK to the 91% rates of the 50s. Just that the tax cuts for the rich only helps the rich. At, the expense of the middle class. The rich say to give them the lowest rates possible and they will create more jobs. Who says? The 91% didn't cause jobs to suffer in the 50s. When I looked at that link and the others. They said the same thing. Since the data is from the IRS. What is noticeable is that when the rates were very low. The economy suffered. When they were much higher. The economy did better.
It was Reagan and Bush who were responsible for NAFTA.
People say that regulations cause jobs to go overseas. What we got in return was lead in toys.
The Gulf oil spill from faulty equiptment and the finacial fiasco in 2008 with all that bad paper going around. Because as 1 finacial bigwig said, "to get our money and run!"
9/11? The anti semites say that the jews planned it while the towers were being built. Look on Youtube.

Frau "Scumella" hasn't been here for a long time. She's obviously finding it harder to make me rich and famous than she thought.
But since I know you're referring to me, UG's appointment with Gehenna was done a long time ago. Where have you been?
Stalking Monica's fiancee no doubt. So what's the P.I. have to say?
Posted by: xbjllb | April 23, 2011 at 10:52 PM
Monica back on McLaughlin this week... and doesn't she just look radiant and glowing? Might as well shop for the shower presents at the same time as the wedding gifts gang!
Is the new Cuban-Jewish guy on the panel her fiancee or is she just thrilled to have a conservative opp her in the layout?
Seems like a nice enough guy. Wish them all the best in the world, whoever he is.

Be careful what you wish for. He continues to tapdance around the social issues, and he'll win over 90% of Hillary Dems. It's not hard for the smartest folks on the block to figure out where's he's really coming from.

Since people have questioned my higher tax rates doesn't hurt the country. And, maybe even helps it.
http://www.bls.gov/cps/prev_yrs.htm
here's several years with the unemplyment rate followed by the top tax rate.
1953 2.9% 92%
1983 9.6% 50%
1987 6.2% 38% (Black Monday)
1988 5.5% 28%
Evetyone knows what the unemplyment and tax rates are now.
So, my point has always been that the tax cuts for the Rich only helps them.
It's the big tax lie by the rich and for the rich. Helped along by their conservative friends.
Posted by: jay | April 23, 2011 at 11:10 PM
What I have found is that the unemplyment rates are more of a which party is President. Instead of a the rate of taxes. In this regard, the Dems have done a better job of lowering unemplyment as opposed to the Republicans.
In 1982 the unemployment rate was at 9.7%
Posted by: jay | April 23, 2011 at 11:31 PM
Should add. Even though people here like to more "attack with a little name calling thrown in"
Once again, HAPPY EASTER!

"Yes, this coming from X-lax, the anti-white genocide bigot who doesn't posses the perceptiveness to be able to discriminate the crucial differences between predatory capitalism and wealth creating capitalism...or maybe it's just being mendacious?" - DJ
There is no genocide against whites, DJ. Like I said, when the nonwhite Hitler arises and starts gassing people for being white, you'll have a case. Hasn't happened in all of human history, and won't ever happen, because all white people happen to be descended from Cain. And their very whiteness is the mark of Cain against all the rest of humanity to let them win.
As far as the difference between wealth creating capitalism (for the rich 98% and 2% trickle down) and predatory capitalism (100% rich and 0% trickle down)? That ONLY DIFFERENCE is NECESSARY GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION.
You know, that government you and yours are hell bent on castrating.

God bless Pres. Obama, Michelle Obama, VP Joe Biden, Jill Biden, Rev. Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Rev J. Wright, Congresswoman of CA Maxine Waters,Congresswoman Sheilda Lee Jackson of Texas, Congressman of Ohio Dennis K., and the rest of the good hearted progressives that share my policital views. I be in taxing the rich much more and distribute the wealth to the working poor and homeless. I personally spoke with House Speaker John Boehner about doing the right thing in working with our President Obama. For a republican, John is not a bad guy. The rest of your right wing nuts, tea baggers, and repubicans finally have someone to vote for in 2012 A FELLOW RACIST BY THE NAME OF Donald Trump.
