Referring to the iconic “Hope” poster used during Obama’s 2008 campaign, the President revealed the original photo actually included Clooney.

“This is the first time that George Clooney has ever been photo-shopped out of a picture,” Obama joked to the crowd. “Never happened before, never happen again.”

He also quipped, “We raised a lot of money because people love George. They like me; they love George.”

    I guess those 1%’ers aren’t so bad after all, eh barry!

  • rayna

    I didn’t know those useful idiots support communism.

  • WTF

    Do you even know the difference between democracy and communism? Stop getting your talking points from Rush Limbaugh. The closest Limbaugh or Mitt Romney have ever come to the 99% is when they ignore the people who do their laundry and clean their $25 million mansions. In Romney’s case, immigrants they imported from other countries.

  • WTF

    Somebody has to raise money for the Dems to go up against the Billionaires that own the GOP.

  • Karen

    Yeah! The difference is they are the 1% that is doing something to try to help the unfortunate. The problem is there is no more Conservative Party; they have been taken over by the Tea Party. Idiots like you are so dumb you don’t know you are being played like a drum. You are voting against things that are met help your dumb ass.

  • Mike

    LOL! School these fools…

  • Jennifer

    Yes, amazing, isn’t it? People like the OP seem to think that, by supporting the Repuglicans, they will somehow BE a 1% someday. When do they wake up and realize that the very people they are clinging to would run right over the top of them and never even see them in the road on the way to pursuing THEIR own best interests. They do it routinely. It’s like kids in high school – the klingons – who orbited the popular kids in hopes the popularity would rub off. Sad.

  • Jennifer

    You don’t even have a clue what you’re talking about, do you? Are you getting your news from Pox News? Wake up…. these GOP/Bagger people are NOT your friends and never will be.

    The smartest way to vote and never go wrong…Watch who Hollywood morons vote for and do the exact opposite. Nothing like groups of rich white people who either did not go to college or finish highschool tell the rest of us how to vote and pretend to feel sorry for minorities. Libtards…when will they go extinct…

    I agree totally with you Rayna. Don’t worry the kool-aid lovers will see soon enough who butters their bread. They just talk. They do no real research. AND they are followers. If they want a socialist government, I invite them to move right out of here! I love America. I love the freedom I have to do what I want to do. (at least for now). I can make as much money as I want and share it with whomever I want. It’s MY CHOICE. They will see that Obama does not want to share any of his millions. If he did, he would have done it already!!! Instead, he has had lived off MY little wages as he and his family has taken vacation after vacation on my dollar. I want one, just one of these people to show me what he personally has given them over the last 3 1/2 yrs. As for me, I ‘ve received higher gas prices, trying to get to work. I’m losing my job do to phasing out our positions. My medical insurance/ co-pays have risen twice as high as they were. I could go on and on. These people are those who want everything given to them. They have no pride. They would rather the government run their lives. As I stated before, fine, just leave. Iran would be a good place for you, I think.

    Guess the IOTUS only hates millionaires that don’t kiss his ass and pay 40k a plate for dinner.

  • KnowledgeIsPower

    I’m not interested in becoming a 1%er. I’m just tired of the entitlement junkies picking my pocket every time I turn around. You have a spoon fed msm view on what the Republican party stands for. Just as in any large group there are the extremists. But do some research, I thing you will be surprised at what you find.

    The progressives, like the homosexuals, want to first molest the minds of children and then molest their bodies later.

    People just don’t want to pay public welfare benefits for two lunatics sodding off all day.

    Muslims would just kill homosexuals.

    Taking into consideration broken clocks tell the correct time twice each day, maybe “spread the other cheek” is not a good public policy.

    In your unabridged Oxford Dictionaries, the word “faggotry” denotes the bundling of steel to be hammered or rolled together.

    Mammalian evolution is entirely heterosexual.

     Monogamy is not required for evolution, monogamy is a tenet of religion.

    To prohibit polyandry and polygyny is an ecclesiastic rule of law.

    To establish an ecclesiastic standard of monogamy for homosexuals is nothing but RELIGIOUS FAGGOTRY.

    I have come to the conclusion that the liberal left-wing socialists who are brainwashed into hating Republicans and Conservatives are a totally lost cause. The Democrats have long been considered the Party of the Poor in this Country and GUESS WHAT??? The POOR are still POOR! Isn’t it apparent that if you want a real, honest and productive job in America, one would have to go to a Republican? They create the wealth, not the welfare. They take the risks of doing business to further advance our Country. Are they perfect? No, Are they better for America and not willing to keep giving out the “fish” for free and instead allowing people the opportunities to learn how to fish for themselves? Our schools are indoctrinating young people to feel “entitled” citizens, and to resent Capitalism. At this rate, America will evolve into a 3rd World entity very quickly. Sheeple…..you had better wake up!!! I’m not against all Democrats….just the ones who embrace Communism.
