Dems Give Barack Obama a $5 Million Birthday Present, But No Ponies
It can't be easy to shop for Barack Obama, who celebrated his birthday yesterday — I mean, what do you get the guy who's already had his face turned into a lollipop?
Resourceful Democrats in Massachusetts put their heads together last night, though, and came up with a nice surprise to give Barack at his birthday party: $5 million…
The event, which raised money for the Obama Victory Fund, a joint account in which donors give both to Obama and the Democratic National Committee, was held in the ritzy State Room at 60 State Street. It began with a reception for 850 donors that have contributed $1,000 or more and then there was a smaller dinner for 250 people that have raised at least $15,000 per person or $28,500 per couple. The event raised almost $5 million dollars, making it the most successful political fundraiser ever held in Boston.
Gosh, that does sound festive! But no birthday party is complete without games, and at Obama's shindig, supporters outside broke into a spontaneous round of Capture the Clinton Supporter…
Robyn Miller was the lone Clinton protester outside. She identified herself as a "PUMA," which stands for "Party Unity My Ass." In particular, Miller protested the Democratic National Committee's decision on how to award Michigan's primary delegates.
"I was out on the streets the days after the 2000 election protesting the stolen votes then," said Miller, 49, referring to the voting controversy in Florida that year. "I would be a hypocrite not to protest this. You can't just take people's votes and hand them to people."
Miller held a bright yellow sign that read, "Selected Not Elected," and was quickly engulfed by Obama supporters. Lots of yelling ensued and one Obama supporter ripped her sign in half while another stood next to her holding a brown paper bag that had "IDIOT" written on it with an arrow pointing towards Miller.
Luckily for Miller, the Obama crowd had brought their own pinata.




Such fun. Will they be erecting a coliseum somewhere in Boston to crucify the Hillary holdouts?
That's really heinous. Obama should call and apologize to her for the abuse of his supporters.
That's terrible… ripping up a poor retarded girl's sign. She probably worked all day making that sign.
