Barack Obama took a break from swimming in his pile of money (documented here), to contribute the statutory maximum for an individual to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. The New York Times writes:
Senator Barack Obama said on Thursday that he had written a personal check of $2,300 to Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, a good-will gesture intended to nudge his top donors to help ease Mrs. Clinton’s campaign debt and help the two Democrats move beyond their rivalry to focus on the fall contest.
This whole thing has really got to chap Hillary’s ass. Less than a year ago she was a shoe-in to waltz into the White House in January ’09, and now she’s a loser, $20 million in debt, and has to beg Obama for money. It reminds me of the time that I peed my pants in 8th grade. Sure, I cried and the school nurse called my Mom and let me go home, but I still had to go back into class to get my coat.
