Getting in Bed With Barack Obama Ain’t Cheap

Money buys access. Change we can believe in? Same old same old.

Iranian freedom activist Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi has forwarded the following email being sent around to members of the Iranian-American Community by hi-tech entrepreneur Manouch Moshayedi. The pitch, a call to raise money for a hoped-for meeting that was to take place on July 13, speaks for itself (emphasis is mine):

Dear friends,

The Obama campaign has promised to have a private meeting with Iranian Americans if we as a group can raise $250,000 for this coming Sunday’s event.

    In a different context he’d be called a shakedown artist. Me, I wouldn’t walk across the street and pay a plugged nickel to meet him.
    BTW, did you see McCain gave him a few truths today?

    Backtrack Obama’s going to be toast by September, the Dhimmis and Kossiaks will be suicidal, Hill will be insufferably smug and we will be having the most fun since Kerry got his.

    As well as the facts starting to hit, the ridicule is beginning. He’ll never survive it, there is just too much ammunition out there.

    And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.

    The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.

    When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago, arguing the finer points of community organisation with the Prophet Jeremiah and the Elders. And the Elders were astonished at what they heard and said among themselves: “Verily, who is this Child that he opens our hearts and minds to the audacity of hope?”

    In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote the conniving Hillary, wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of Working Class Whites.

    Lots more where that came from.

    Remember this?

    It helped to sink Edwards more than anything else could.

    I sure hope no one is going to cough up for that, especially when Obama is happy to meet Ahmadinejad without conditions. It’ll be like flushing money down the toilet, or rather paying your enemy to shot you in the ass or in his case, make you disappear.

    What a happy scenario!
    I had forgotten about the Breck girl scenario. How freaking self-absorbed that man is………and a typical cheap suit in the end, as evidenced by his dalliance with a stray woman while his wife suffers with cancer..And the media, so far, is covering for the sleaze. If that has been one of McCain’s possible VP choices, the media would be having a field day.

    There are Iranians in this country who fervently despise Ahmadinejad and islamic rule. In fact, they’d likely be pro-American or at least favor the west. The exact type Obama wants nothing to do with..it doesn’t follow his agenda… so I wonder of what stripe the Iranians seeking a meeting with Obama are.

    In the comments to the article the rest of the e-mail is reproduced. They seriously want to register in Obama’s consciousness… I wonder if they have also sought an audience with McCain…

    Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi, referred to as an Iranian freedom fighter is impressive, outspoken against sharia….

    In 2007 he participated in St Petersburg Secular Islam Summit along with other thinkers and reformers of Islam such as Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Wafa Sultan and Irshad Manji.[1] The group released the St Petersburg Declaration which urges world governments to, among other things, reject Sharia law, fatwa courts, clerical rule, and state-sanctioned religion in all their forms; oppose all penalties for blasphemy and apostasy, which they believe to be in accordance with Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banafsheh_Zand-Bonazzi”>(Wiki)

    Vehemently against the present regime in Iran who has imprisoned her journalist father. I wonder if those seeking an audience with Obama are her allies, or supporters of Ahmadinejad. The latter might find favor with Obama. I think, not so much, the former.
