Under The Bus Watch: Switzerland
Posted by: Duane R. Patterson at 6:56 PM
Courtesy of Ed Morrissey at Hot Air, we've just learned that His Obamaness and his entourage will be spending part of the GOP Convention in early September raising money...in Geneva, Switzerland...at a $1,000 a plate dinner (dollars, not Euros)...hosted by George Clooney. Yes, that is our guy, Barack Obama, a man of the people, running a campaign funded almost entirely of Grandma's last $10.

But you know that once the news goes viral that the event is taking place, in spite of Michelle Obama's pleas to go, the PR nightmare of leaving the country again to go hobnob and fleece international elites in Switzerland right before the election is going to cause Team Obama to cancel the event. Yes, Switzerland is going under the bus. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

Hugh thinks three days. I give it a week until we hear it's canceled. Leave your guesses in the comment section.

Switzerland? I guess this is one of the other 58 states Obama missed during his last trip to Europe, and he wanted every world citizen to be represented.

From CNN:


Although next months fundraiser is taking place overseas, the campaign specified only U.S. Citizens with a passport will be allowed to contribute to the campaign.

Do you actually think that's what is going to happen?

Probably not, but they seem to think so. Well, at least they hope we'll believe so.
