Billionaire Offers $1 Million To Flash Obama

[onehandle]

A wacky British-born Internet entrepreneur who wants to be entertained, and perhaps even promote a website, is offering $1 million for someone to flash Barack Obama, on camera. How is this not a great deal?

British billionaire Alki David has one condition for his payout: the word "Battlecam" must be written across the naked thrill-seeker's chest, to promote David's video-sharing website of the same name. Although it's already being promoted now that everyone's just writing about this stunt proposal! Now we see why he's a billionaire, and the rest of us are just clickers.

David's already been contacted by 150 to 160 potential flashers, and it's probably dozens more by the hour. There aren't many better opportunities to make money these days than by performing naked monkey tricks for our entrenched billionaire class. But hey, at least you get to "meet" the President for this one.

1. This dumb ass could use his money for more worthwhile things than "flashing Obama"

$1 million sure could help a lot of homeless shelters or food pantries.

2. One of us should volunteer...

And give the money to charity.

Under growing pressure to offset new spending with cuts, a proposed child nutrition measure would get its funding from an unusual source: a deeper slice out of the nation's food support program.

U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., is now leading a group of more than 100 House Democrats who say they are prepared to draw a line.

"This is one of the more egregious cases of robbing Peter to pay Paul, and is a vote we do not take lightly," Ellison and Massachusetts Rep. Jim McGovern wrote in a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, protesting the bill last week that first trimmed the food stamp program to make sure a state aid bill got passed.

With the child nutrition bill taking a second whack at food stamps funding, Ellison and 105 Democrats are calling for a different way to pay for it.
