Poll question: If Obama asked for donations so he could see his grandmother, would you donate?
Edited on Thu Oct-23-08 07:51 PM by ColbertWatcher
Not that he did--or that he would--but if there was some kind of donation option, would you click it?

A. Yes, I would donate. As far as I'm concerned, he can use campaign funds any way he wants to.

B. No, I would not donate specifically for him to visit his grandmother. However, I can understand why he used the campaign jet that is big enough to carry his security detail and that has already been checked by the Secret Service to visit his grandmother. In fact, I'm going to donate again right now with a note about his grandmother.

C. No, this is improper use of campaign funds and I would not donate specifically to it.

D. Other (please see my explanation in reply)

1. No - he wouldn't ask and he has the funds to pay for it himself
If he were broke and impovershed - then maybe yes

2. This is my answer also. I just cannot ever see him asking. Plus, doesn't he have the cash?
Not campaign funds, but personal funds?

3. No, I wouldn't donate. But then he wouldn't ask.
He can afford it. :)
