Sent my birthday money to Obama

[MissWaverly]

Hey folks, it's me, Miss Waverly, one of those who are called "small donors" by the MSM for Obama, you know the one that's supposed to disappear. Well, this is my 2nd contribution to Obama. I'm sending him my $25.00 birthday money. Hey, I am not one of the high rollers that donated the $500 million to the Clinton library or the $106 million since they left the White House. But, I am here and I am determined that he's going to win. I am not going to disappear once the primaries are over. Did I mention that I have been contributing every month to the DNC since 2005. That's over $500.00 now, plus what I have donated to Jim Webb, Ms. Burner, my local dems, et al.

1. I need to find loophole in the system so I can donate

:evilgrin:

[MissWaverly]

2. well, maybe you can do calls if you have unlimited long distance

there's more than one way to help, I am glad that I donated today, he's in for a tough fight in Pennsylvania.

13. HA, HA

24. Hey, it's my birthday this week -

send me the money, and then I, too, will send Obama my birthday money!!

[MissWaverly]

28. HA, HA, no bundling here

they won't be raking me over those coals,

:-)

19. A trusted friend or relative who hasn't maxed out is an easy loophole.

I'm maxed out, in case you were wondering. :evilgrin:

[MissWaverly]

29. well, let this be a case of casting your bread

may it come back to you with the blessing of real leadership in this country.

3. Happy Birthday and, on behalf of Senator Obama, we thank you!

:party: :toast:

[MissWaverly]

5. Thank you, I am having a wonderful birthday

and I hope the money does some good for Obama.

:-)

4. I'm sending not a penny to either.

Not that there's any extra around here to send. I made my sacrifices last fall, and sent what I had to the candidate that deserved my support. Last fall was a long time ago, and I no longer have any extra change lying around. If I did, it wouldn't go to Obama or Clinton.

My birthday was last week. I didn't get money. I got a visit from my son, an Arlo Guthrie concert from my mom, a windchime from my grandson, and a $25 B&N gift card from my other son.

There is no way in hell I'm going to send my gift card to Obama. I'm going to head into the book store and browse to my heart's content, finally bringing home some precious new reading material.

7. There's a great book out there called, "Dreams From My Father"...

:hide: Happy Birthday to you, too! :party: :toast:

[MissWaverly]

12. Yes, I am putting that one on my reading list

:-)

[LWolf]

16. Heh.

:rofl:

Thanks, but no thanks. :D

I'll probably stick to fiction; I have enough work related non-fiction on my plate to read.

:hi:

[MissWaverly]

18. well, sounds like you have a lot of stress now

sometimes it's best to go for the frivolous things,

:-)

[MissWaverly]

9. Hey, I understand, I love getting presents

I am enjoying my other presents as well, a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle which is a landscape with amish quilts, "Becoming a better you"
by Joel Osteen, Trading Spaces: Great Kitchen Designs-which is really funny-Buffalo episode and Florida makeover and the
Father Brown series. I like my presents but I know there is something major wrong with this country and we are all going
to have to do an Extreme makeover on what is now in place.

:-)

[LWolf]

15. Happy birthday.

I'd be enjoying those gifts, too. I agree about the "extreme makeover," lol. I'm not convinced that Obama or HRC will do that, but every little bit of hopeful possibility helps.

:hi:

[MissWaverly]

17. Thank you

Yes, and I plan to go to Starbucks for lunch, my niece gave me a card at Christmas that I haven't used.

:-)

[Ysabel]

6. thank you and happy birthday (n/t)... :)

[MissWaverly]

11. Thanks, like your sig line and I will never understand Bosnia

comment by Hillary, one time could have been an accident but repeatedly sounds more like on purpose.

[FightingIrish]

10. You sent it to Obama but in reality,

you gave it to all of us. Thanks and Happy Birthday

[MissWaverly]

14. Yes, that's my thought too

As a boomer I remember the 50s (dimly) and the 60s; this country was better back then. The people were more friendly and not so
much in debt as we are now. We had terrible problems back then, still do. But it seems now that special interests have all the
power and that there is no such thing as the "Common Good." I would like to see the government of "We the People" again.

20. Happy Birthday MissWaverly

May the saddest day of your future
be no worse than the happiest day of your past.

Happy Birthday!

[MissWaverly]

22. thank you very much

I hope, been reading a book on Feng Shui, it has really got me spring cleaning, I am feeling a lot of positive vibes now. I want
to go on down the road of life with a lighter load.

:-)

[billyoc]

21. Happy Birthday, and many happy returns.

:hi:

[MissWaverly]

25. Thank you

It's funny since Obama has been running, I find myself singing "Happy Days are here again" which is the old song from the FDR
campaign.

[Scurrilous]

23. Happy birthday!

:thumbsup:

[MissWaverly]

26. an Irish Obama button, I am green with envy

my grandfather came from County Mayo in Ireland.

[MissWaverly]

27. Off to a late lunch, see you all later

you can all party on while I am gone,

Miss Waverly

30. Happy Birthday!

[MissWaverly]

31. thank you

I am looking forward to a great year, a big win for the Dems in November, and a new president next year.

:-)

[Zachstar]

32. Thank you!!

These small donations pile up and help end this thought of "Entitlement" for Clinton.

Thank you!

[MissWaverly]

33. Current situation reminds me of Boss Tweed

He said that the Public was a sheep to shear but if you insult it, it's a wolf. I think the American people are
tired of pomp and privilege esp. when it eventually is done with their dime. Donors for special interests consider
campaign spending like a ticket for a free ride after the election. 500 million for the Clinton library and 106 million
since 2000 for speaking engagements, etc. sound like a lot of political IOUs to me.
