Obama Compares His Donors to ‘Young People Who Beat Back the Billy Clubs and the Dogs and the Fire Hoses’
Obama acclaims campaign donors as modern-day Minutemen
We acquired this from one of our favorite news sources. We openly wish that we could have heard this pump-up piece in its totality; however, I’m reasonably certain that no one here would have cared too.
President Barack Obama portrayed his campaign donors Monday night as the modern-day equivalent of the 18th-century colonists who fought the British Empire on the battlefields of Concord, Saratoga and Yorktown.
“It takes you, ordinary citizens committed to fighting and pushing, inching this country forward bit by bit so we get closer to our highest ideals,” he declared in a tub-thumping campaign speech to seven hundred donors.
“That’s how this country was built. That’s how we freed ourselves from an empire,” he told the donors comfortably seated at white-linen tables in Washington D.C.’s Capital Hilton hotel.
Oh the gag reflex!! Can you believe the gall of this ___________?
