The Intangible Qualities of the President

From the New York Post re: President Bush's trip to the victims of the Southern California fires.

In a private moment, Jay Jeffcoat told Bush he was saddened to lose a lifetime of mementos. Chief among them was an autographed baseball from Nolan Ryan, signed to Jeffcoat's son Ryan, who was named after the Hall of Fame pitcher.
"Bush said, 'I'm going to fix that as soon as I get on to Air Force One. I'm going to call Nolan and get you that ball,'" Jeffcoat told the Post.
Bush, a onetime owner of the Texas Rangers, is good pals with Ryan.

Clinton Fundraising

http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-donors19oct19,0,4231217.story?coll=la-home-center

How likely is it that a poor dishwasher in Chinatown donated $1,000 or $2,000 dollars to Hillary Clinton's campaign?

This is very doubtful and appears to be the classic case of rich donors using the names and identities (probably with the permission of these people) to donate money to Hillary. It's their way of getting around the inconvenient $2,300 contribution limit.

The FBI or someone should investigate this closely. This could be the downfall of Hillary Clinton.
