Thirty Thousand Dollars for Ribs and Cornbread??
I can get that meal at the BBQ joint across the street for less than $10 bucks...and I don't have to listen to Hussein, either!

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

“...bestowing each of the six tables with ten or twelve minutes of his time.”

...reading the link would have given me the answer.

Short ribs. A much more expensive cut. NOT Moochelle approved, though.

This is a good time for the voice of Cain and West to be heard more resolutely.

Short ribs usually refer to beef short ribs (which are cut from the same primal area as ribeye steaks and prime rib), rather than any sort of pork ribs or beef spare ribs.

I don’t really care for them, myself, but they are considered top notch eating by many.

Obviously these donors want to bend over more.

Just to prove the abused wife syndrome is not specific to just abused wives.

I suppose they were just applying the next installment to receive their free mortgages, electricity and gasoline for life that was promised to them the last time.

Forrest Gump’s mother was right on target, again.

"There were people there who in the past have expressed frustrations, and one person who said, 'You know, I'm not going to support him for re-election,'" said one attendee.

I'd love to see what the investigators dug up on these people.

They didn’t contribute $30k, they paid $30k for the dinner.

BILLION DOLLAR CANDIDATE OHAHA OFF TO A "GREAT" START He claims to be the first billion dollar candidate-----looks like it won't be from fund-raisers.

A "purposefully small" DNC fund-raiser dinner at the Red Rooster in Harlem?.........now add this to the list.

Obama's recent Boston fundraiser started out as a $5,000 a plate then dropped to $500 a plate ... but he still could not fill the room——Ohaha ended up talking to a little over 100 people.

Ohaha's gonna be wire-transferring like crazy to finance the preservation of himself and endangered Dems-----after the debacle of Midterms.

Remember, Ohaha raised a whopping $750 million for his 2008 presidential bid----- purportedly from "anonymous foreign donors" who flooded his 2008 campaign with hundreds of thousands of relatively small, untraceable illegal donations.

Two years in office----Obama's got zillions stashed offshore (looted from the US Treasury during the infamous trillion dollar "bailouts").

Reminds me of the excellent book---"Flawless"-----about the half a $$$billion Antwerp diamond heist. The crooks couldn't spend it, of course, without calling attention to themselves. So they had to invent a highly visible money-maker to account for their spending.......they pretended a multi-million dollar movie deal about their heist was in the works.

Can't wait to see what the cover story Ohahas come up with. ROTFL.

=====================================================

DID GANGSTER GOVERNMENT SCAM TRILLIONS USING THE MADOFF MO? Ponzi Madoff created a super-secret labyrinth of interrelated international funds, institutions and financial entities of almost unparalleled complexity and breadth......with assets and businesses in multiple places overseas that hid thievery, money laundering and tax evasion.

Novelist Dean Koontz stated in a public forum that at least $70 BILLION has been stolen by the Obama administration.

Reportedly Obama got 1.5 Million Dollars in Harlem the other night.

That is probably just about what it cost the People of this country to transport him and his entourage of agents up to new York for the party.

This campaign is going to be very expensive for us Republicans to pay our half of his campaign travel bills on Air Force One.

It’s that easy to get around “campaign finance limits”?

Can a candidate sell autographed pics for $30k each and not count that as a “donation”?
