Dayton Mayor Rhine McLin, (and other by-invitation only Democratic politicians in Ohio) who recently made a decision as a super delegate to back Senator Barrack Obama despite his loss in Ohio state, had the unsavory task of being invited and having to sit through too much scolding from President Bush Mayor Rhine McLin, the Democrat Mayor of Dayton, was "invited" to sit through a scolding from President George Bush as he criticized 'hectoring' Democrats of being an obsticle for achieving security in Iraqinam. SAY WHAT?

Mayor McLin recently made a decision as a super delegate to back Senator Barrack Obama despite his loss in the Ohio State Democratic Primary, and now I'm sure she did AFTER sitting through this public scolding by the leader of the Republican Party - G.W. Bush.  

Bush did meet privately for two hours with 23 [hand picked, screened - by-invitation] family members of troops killed in action. He selectively met with only those families who continued to support his policies. However, the president's real reason for coming to this Republican strong hold in S.W. Ohio was to help out 2008 Republican candidates. Thus, mainstream media has it wrong when they say that Republican candidates are trying to distance themselves from Bush, and his policies, especially vs-a-vs Iraq.

The Herald Tribune Internaton reports that in Ohio, Bush raised money for the state Republican Party, [and of course John McCain]. The Ohio Republican Party refused to release financial details about his fundraiser in Ohio. [Most likely due to the event possibly being hosted by a non-profit, non-partisan Air Force related Foundation associated with the U.S. Air Force Museum].  Later, in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, Bush was to raise about $500,000 for that state's Republican Party [and Senator McCain] at a fundraiser of more than 200 people.

The fundraiser in Ohio was reported as $10,000 dollar a plate dinner, thus evidently quite a few folks in Greene County, Ohio are not feeling pressured by the economy or what happens on Wall Street. They have money to burn on political elections (HUM).

Despite strong Hillary Clinton support from the Ohio Democratic Party, and top Democrat politicians in Ohio that gave her the state, Dayton Mayor Rhine McLin was one of the hold out Democratic party super delegates that recently endorsed Senator Barrack Obama for nomination to carry that party's standard into the Presidential election of 2008.

President Bush gave her "special" recognition at his Republican Pep rally in the National Air Force Museum.

Do you want your tax dollars going towards ANY partisan political rally held in ANY military museum during wartime, my military families does not. We want the 10,000 a plate dinner, and other funds raised at this SCAM to go toward our Ground Troops.
