God, I love this story. It doesn’t get better than this!
A private foundation made the winning bid, which eBay spokeswoman Catherine England said set a record for the most expensive item sold for charity by the online auctioneer.
…The winning bid came from the Maryland-based Eugene B. Casey Foundation, according to the group. The foundation, which lists assets of $294 million in its latest IRS filing, was established by Casey, a real estate developer, and is run primarily by his widow, Betty.
The foundation’s largest grants during its last fiscal year included $4.9 million to a Bethesda, Md., hospital, $3.5 million to the Washington Opera and $850,000 to the American Arts Network. It also gave $110,000 to the Salvation Army and $100,000 grants to a Washington public television and radio station and Salute America’s Heroes, which helps wounded soldiers. There were no reported grants to political organizations.
“The Eugene B. Casey Foundation believes freedom of speech is a basic right of every citizen of this country,” the group said in a news release Friday.

And if Dirty Harry Reid wants to take credit for the eBay auction, he can cough up $2.1 million like Mrs. Casey and Rush are doing. What a loser!

You’re right…this story does get better and better. Betty Casey the Obama supporter wins the auction…
If that ain’t a stickler, I don’t know what is.

FAIL.
You’re fantasizing if you think she can be simply characterized as “Betty Casey the Obama supporter.” Obama got some money, but look at all the rest. (Screenshot, if the direct link doesn’t work.)
Anyway, what’s your point? You leftards are seriously trying to spin this as one of “yours” being the donor? LOL! You clowns have absolutely no common sense or shame whatsoever, do you?
Do you think there are seriously any conservatives who are bothered by her having given Obama some money in the primaries? If there were any point in your comment, it can easily be rebutted by the fact that she most likely would rather see him in the general election than Hillary. Big f’n deal. If I had Betty Casey’s kind of money, I’d throw some toward some Democrat primary challenger that I see as lesser of two or more evils, as well.
Let me guess–since the Obama donations mean so much to you, I’m sure you aren’t too happy about all that money going to Republicans, are you? A Bush donor! OOOOH, scary! :mrgreen:
Give it a rest. She’s a philanthropist, and that money to Obama pales in comparison to what she donated today and what she’s done for other non-political entities in the past.
You lose, noob.
