Wittle B. Hussein Obama At Bon Jovi Event: 'We Won't Be Bullied'
Obama At Bon Jovi Event: 'We Won't Be Bullied'
Presidential Nominee Vows To Fight Back Against Character Attacks Better Than John Kerry Did In '04
Democrat Barack Obama turned Friday to rock legend Jon Bon Jovi for help.
MIDDLETOWN, N.J.
Bon Jovi and his wife, Dorothea, hosted more than 100 people for dinner on their mansion lawn by the Navesink River in Middletown, N.J. The price was $30,800 a person, to be divided between the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
"When I look at Barack, I see an old man," Bon Jovi said in introducing his guest. Obama is 47, Bon Jovi is 46.
Obama spoke for about eight minutes before greeting guests individually. He vowed to fight Republican attacks on his character and background more fiercely than John Kerry did in his losing campaign four years ago.
"We're not going to be bullied, we're not going to be smeared, we're not going to be lied about," Obama said. "I don't believe in coming in second."
Earlier in the evening, Obama attended a $2,300-per-person reception at the nearby home of veteran party fundraiser Phil Murphy. About 200 people, including the Bon Jovis and New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, attended.
“I hope you guys are game,” he said, “because I haven’t been putting up with 19 months of airplanes and hotel food and missing my babies and my wife –- I didn’t put up for that stuff just to come in second. I don’t believe in coming in second. The American people can’t afford for us to come in second. We’ve got to win this thing and we’re going to win it with your help.”
Obama said that the assignment of his Republican opponents is “to see if they can snuff out that spirit in this campaign and to knock me down more than one peg,” he said. “The reason that events like this are so important, we’ve got to have the resources and the energy and the determination to say ‘No’ to that. To say ‘enough.’ We’re not going to be bullied, we’re not going to be smeared, we’re not going to be lied about. We’re not going to resort to the same tactics, but we are going to confront them.”
And this one..............
Don’t Believe in Coming in Second,’ Obama Tells Bon Jovi Fundraiser
September 05, 2008 10:18 PM
NEWARK, N.J. — Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., hit a couple swanky Garden State fundraisers this evening, starting at the house of Democratic National Committee treasurer Phil Murphy and his wife Tammy.
“Are you guys fired up?” bellowed Gov. Jon Corzine to the $2,300-per-person crowd. “You better be, because I think you’re liquored up!”
Obama again said that the GOP convention didn’t discuss solutions to problems facing ordinary Americans, unlike the Democratic gathering.
“The Republicans had a different approach to their convention,” he said. “They had a different theory, which was that ‘We are just sarcastic. We spent a lot of time talking about John McCain’s admittedly compelling biography, and we spent a lot of time lying about Barack’ — that, somehow that’s a political philosophy or an economic theory.”Obama told the appreciative crowd, “They don’t have a record to run on, so what they’re going to do is they’re going to try and just tear me down. Because it worked four years ago, and it worked eight years ago, you can’t blame them for trying it again, but I don’t think it’s going to work this time.”

Is that mean governor from Alaska picking on you Hussein??
re: “we won’t be bullied”
oooooh, Obama’s scared of a g-i-r-l
LOL Waaaa Waaaa! This kid beat me up at school and her name was Sarah!!!! Waaaaaaa!
They wont be bullied? After the savaging these animals have given Sarah Palin? Yo Hussein, fewer and fewer people are buying the garbage you are peddling.
Doesn’t he see how defensive he’s become? it’s funny to watch... this is part of the unraveling of terrorists associator.
The self proclaimed champion of the common man goes to a $30,000 a head fund-raising dinner and sees no irony whatsoever in hanging out with a rock star! LMAO I tell you. hahhaha
Obama is the manipulator and bully and race card peddler.

When did our camp bully Obamanation? I don't recall anything derogatory being said--only truths.
He's mistaken honesty with bullying. Bullying would be us calling him the N word or that chocolate cookie with the cream filling since he is white and black.
I'll bet he's the kid who ran to the teacher whenever someone made fun of him, crying. He's out for revenge on those kids who teased him. But he needs to remember, we ALL got teased and bullied.
He just can't admit that the truth hurts. Maybe he ought to listen to them and fix himself in his mind and heart before he can EVER accomplish what he hopes to accomplish.

He calls that bullying?? And he's a student of Saul Alinsky's method of community agitation? This from the one who plays the preemptive race card? lol
We need to start just laughing and asking them "you're kidding, right". The trouble is too many people have been taking them seriously (esp on the right side of the aisle in the House and Senate.)

$30,800 per person access!! I wonder just what kind of "access" that buys in an Obama presidency?
Their $30,800 vs my $50 donation only gets either of us one vote on election day.

They have all the screwballs in that party. Corzine a real piece of work .
Saw a Bumper sticker today, 'Obama...Wants your wallet and your gun'. This was on the back of a big pick-up next to the NRA sticker.
