Great site. Keep doing.

It's interesting (and disheartening) that even a seemingly altruistic man like Obama can be seen as "buying" the White House. My novel, TAKEOVER, is about a man who "buys" the Oval Office -- but his motives are entirely selfish. I set out to write it as an intellectual exercise: could a man of virtually infinite wealth and (private) power purchase the ultimate trophy, the White House? It never occurred to me to invent a scenario in which a "good" man buys the Presidency.

If you don't know what "San Francisco values" are then obviously you don't care, so why should I draw you a picture? Get cable...
I note you are from Ca.. The Bay area perhaps?
Further, I suspect that your "perception" of "subjective-progressive" Christianity includes gay marriage, pro-abortion and some broad interpretation of "social justice" - Maybe you even work for Gene Robinson in the self destructing Episcopal Church or some spawn thereof.
Are you "entertained" yet?

Perhaps R.L. Schaefer should explain what "San Francisco values" are. Could be entertaining.

No, no, Mr. Schaefer. Obama did not "buy the White House". The people bought it.

Obama did indeed buy the White House - Now he can save the planet from evils of civilization, increase abortions and have our nation adopt San Francisco values... Thank our new messiah from delivering us from "unthoughtful people - Ani't it a beautiful morning for America?

The only problem with getting thoughtful people to withhold campaign contributions is that "unthoughtful" people will not. They will be bilked on abortion and gay phobia again and again.
You're just lucky that enough people contributed in 2008 that you did not get McCain and Palin by default.
