Our goal is to build awareness and support for Barack Obama in key swing states. Proceeds from this event will help Democrats in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives take important seats in swing states from vulnerable Republicans.
What better way to make that happen than through an evening of great music?

What? In a panic now? O!’s got this executive-experience thing going yanno & 1 of his biggest decisions has been to opt-out of public-financing of the campaign. Psst! – he broke a vow that he wouldn’t opt-out. And now, w/ less than 2months to go to the GE — & in fuckin’ trouble for dough, y’all gotta put on crash fund-raisers. Now however, with the Hillary-donors not shelling like they were supposed-to & the in-flow less than hoped he’s scrambling for change. Not to speak of the colossal $$$ waste of the magical-mystery-tour of Europe — fright, anxiety, & widespread anticipation of depression have got the fringe throwing-together rock-concerts! Bet he wishes he could still “administer”(nudge-nudge wink-wink) some of that ChicagoAnnenbergChallenge money.
A guy on the’Net said: “Building an effective staff is the first key to management. It is not easy and needs ‘experience’ even to do that. I suspect Obama’s campaign staff did not have clear job definitions (fundraising, organization, etc.) and may not have been confident enough to raise the `what-if’ questions. — “They seemed unprepared for Palin, yet she was on the radar of the GOP for a long time. They knew that experience was an issue but seemed to spend no time in Denver addressing this. Instead, BHO has `boobed’ everybody with how wonderful his `judgment’ is going to be. But his campaign shows disturbing evidence of leadership-shortcomings.”
