Palin isn't running for president. And this thread is about Obama raising $9,000,000.00 in Hollywood.
Hate to break this to you, but Cindy McCain has nothing to do with Anheuser-Busch other than selling the beer they make along with a lot of other brewers.
She is NOT an A-B heiress, she is the heiress of her family beer distribution company.

Well this is good enough for me;


Beer heiress could be next first lady - John McCain News - MSNBC.com

McCain served as honorary starter of the NASCAR race that weekend in Charlotte, N.C. Earnhardt drove the Budweiser car, painted military camouflage, rather than its trademark red, to honor the troops.

Budweiser, then NASCAR's official beer, is brewed by Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc., whose products have made Cindy McCain and her family a fortune. The brewer sold toy replicas of its race car to aid the Special Operations Warrior Foundation and publicized its support for the group, on whose board John McCain served and whose chairman later endorsed him. The speedway appearance helped McCain court NASCAR voters, and his campaign circulated video of the event over the Internet.


As heiress to her father's stake in Hensley & Co. of Phoenix, Cindy McCain is an executive whose worth may exceed $100 million. Her beer earnings have afforded the GOP presidential nominee a wealthy lifestyle with a private jet and vacation homes at his disposal, and her connections helped him launch his political career — even if the millions remain in her name alone. Yet the arm's-length distance between McCain and his wife's assets also has helped shield him from conflict-of-interest problems.

Still not going to go with 'Bud'.

Yep, exactly what I said. Your perogative. I won't buy gas from Citgo stations.

Re: Obama Picks Up $9 Million at Glitzy Hollywood Fundraiser

Wow Obama's campaign raised money at a fundraiser. He is so out of touch with the middle-class.

Let's not mention that the amount of money he raised at this single fundraiser is small in comparison to the amount of money he raises from donations by the every day voter.

The only true MSM in America is the AP, they have gotten as balanced as I have seen in the entire news, which is really quite sad.
