Phil Spector's campaign donation being returned...

[oodi]

I guess this "one big refund" will help with funding his appeal.

The link says it's from Fox News, so I didn't even bother to read it.
It's probably something anti-Obama LOL
Bunch of clowns.

Here's a quote:
Most of the refunds are likely over the limit, foreign or lobbyist donations, or some combination thereof, but the campaign also continues to keep an eye out for individual donors whose notoriety could be used by critics against Obama — someone like Phil Spector. The award-winning record producer and songwriter gave a series of contributions to Obama, totaling the maximum $4,600, while facing murder charges — and even wore an Obama pin during his trial. But about one week after the case went to the jury in late March, the Obama campaign refunded $4,350 to Spector. (It had refunded the other $250 in the weeks after Election Day.) A week later, Spector was convicted of second-degree murder, and he’s now serving 19 years to life.

Had to be a sort of slap in the face that the future President didn't want your money or help. I can understand the campaign's position, that name association with someone on trial for murder, even if only on the signature line of a check, who needs it.

I'm content knowing our President didn't need or want the murderer's money. :thumbup:

I guess Obama didn't need it.

No matter where it came from, it was obviously the right thing to do. Spector has certainly managed to find himself in the finest of Company these days!:laugh:
