You aren't accurate here. Didn't he mention a sum of $600.

That was never the issue. I said that I had just received my $600
stimulus
incentive check from the US Treasury that every single taxpayer in the
United States also received or will if they haven't yet received it
(married
taxpayers filing jointly receive $1200).

I then said that I sent a substantial portion of that to Obama's
campaign.
You're the one who jumped to the conclusion that I had sent the entire
$600
to Obama, but that's not what I said.

For the record, I don't see anything unseemly for me to send a
contribution
to a candidate for public office as long as I don't exceed the limits
prescribed by the law, WHICH I DIDN'T DO.

Now, what is your problem that couldn't be solved by the simple expedient
of
you going back and seeing who said what to who? If you took the trouble
to
do that, you'd stop making a jackass of yourself by continuing to
misquote
me.

.....That's unseemly. Especially if you don't regard it as anybody
else's
business. Why make an exception for yourself? I'm making an honest
attempt to understand what he said. I don't mind being told that's not
what he meant, but if my understanding is correct, then what is the
problem of my opinion of that?

The problem is that your understanding is NOT correct. Both Rita and I
have
more than once tried to point out what was actually said and done but you
persist in misunderstanding. If you won't take the trouble to back up
and
take another look (as we've both suggested to you), you'll continue to
get
it wrong.

I'm not making an exception of myself. The actual dollar amount that I
contributed is my business and I see no reason to have to share it with
you
or anyone else other than the Internal Revenue Service if they should
ask.
I don't know who, if anyone, you sent your money to and if you chose not
to
enlighten me in that regard, I most certainly would not fault you for
that.
It's certainly your right to not share that kind of information as much
as
it's mine concerning what I do with my money.

George Z.

If you think that the actual dollar amount shouldn't be mentioned,
then don't you think that you should not mention the $600 either?

I see no reason not to mention it, since it only tells you that I'm either
singled, widowed, divorced or married filing separately from my wife. That
puts me in the middle of a class of people that amounts to possibly half of
the entire goddam nation. The fact that the money was being given out was
in every newspaper and on every radio and TV station in the country, so
there's no reason to keep it a secret. Why are you making such an issue of
my mentioning how I spent some or all of my incentive check? What
difference does it make to anyone?


.....You are splitting hairs here saying that while you gave an
approximate amount,
it is not the same as an exact amount....

The exact amount is none of your business and if you needed to know it, I'd
have told you.

.....I don't see why you can't understand this point. I have never
mentioned any amount at all in my
contributions, and I agree that it is tacky to do so.....

If you took the trouble to read what I actually said, you'd know that I
didn't do anything different from what you did.


.....I don't understand why you can't see the hypocrisy in this situation
and it is
getting tiring to keep repeating the same thing. The only reason I
have kept repeating this is that you keep quoting me inaccurately. As
long as you can't figure out what I'm saying, I'll try to be helpful
in clarifying my opinion.

I didn't quote you on anything.....you're the one who's been misquoting me.

George Z.
