I thought the same exact thing at first. But, that amount is the maximum allowed. But, we can all be pretty sure there is some under the table deals going on here. This is more for show.

If he contributes they will call it dirty politics. If he doesn't contribute they will call it dirty politics. Face it. People see what they want to. They focus on what they are looking for. And they will not immediately consider contradicting points of view. It is a shame.

I agree on the whole Clinton is a you know what for having the nerve to ask regular people to help her pay back her loan to herself. Anyone dumb enough to give her a penny is also a you know what. Sooo many reasons not to bother voting.

That's where my husband saw it. I wonder if they messed up on a visual. Was it words on the bottom of the screen or were they talking about it? You said they spent the whole hour, so they must have been talking about it. Sorry. I'll keep looking.

Well no, it's Obama asking his supporters to contribute money to Clinton's campaign in turn for Clinton telling her supporters to contribute to Obama's campaign.

The whole thing stinks to high heaven considering the money is going to go right into Clinton's pocket. Honestly, I can't even see how this can be legal.

At best their exploiting the intent of the $2300 per person limit on contributions. Obama supporters who already contributed $2300 to Obama are being asked by Obama to contribute another $2300 to Clinton. Clinton supporters who contributed $2300 to Clinton are being asked to kick in another $2300 to Obama.

The net result is that another $40 million will come out of the people's pockets, and Clinton and Obama will split it 50/50, even though Clinton has dropped out of the race. The intent is close to fraud.

Why would anybody think it's dirty politics if Obama didn't contribute to Clinton?

The more I think about it the more sickening this becomes.

Obama could be asking people to donate money to a charitable cause, like the flood victims in his own state. Instead he's asking people to donate money so that multi-multi-millionaires Bill and Hillary Clinton can fatten their personal bank accounts.

It's really disgusting in every way.
