Now, this guy has maxed out to obama in terms of donations. This cycle and 2008. He is a businessman, a successful businessman that started at the bottom and rose to the top. He's tired of obama's divisive rhetoric, always looking for a bad guy to blame or deflect from his own failures.

Multimillionaire Donor Decries Obama’s Class Warfare - By Daniel Foster - The Corner - National Review Online

Multimillionaire Donor Decries Obama’s Class Warfare

Quote:
Here’s Ted Leonsis, multimillionaire internet pioneer and majority owner of the Washington Wizards, Capitals, and Mystics, on President Obama’s class warfare:
Read his story - a GREAT middle class American story of opportunity, hard work and success - everything that makes this country great.

Class Warfare - Yuck! « Teds Take

Quote:
Economic Success has somehow become the new boogie man; some in the Democratic party are now casting about for enemies and business leaders and anyone who has achieved success in terms of rank or fiscal success is being cast as a bad guy in a black hat. This is counter to the American Dream and is really turning off so many people that love American and basically carry our country on their back by paying taxes and by employing people and creating GDP.
Oh, indeed it is turning off voters....except for the Left and the leeches, who have the same mentality as this partisan, divisive potus.

Quote:
We should be healing and creating teams NOT dividing and pitting people against one another.
That runs counter to what obama and the dems are all about. He is a community agitator after all, isn't he?

A great story - coming from modest means and working your way up to success.

Best save his page - you know he will be getting a call from the obama team about this.

This is as good as the CEO of Coca-Cola saying it is easier to do business in China than in America nowadays. Then you add in the comments of the Home Depot founder, Steve Wynn and every other major figure who has called out the president. Meanwhile Obama doubles down on his radical strategies and deepens his appeal to a shrinking group of fringe lefties...he is positioning himself for a Walter Modale-style drubbing.

LOL marcopolo,from a 08 JM fan. The TP is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Any 2012 Establishment Repub wins, any TP 2012 man or woman loses. It will be an unearned victory for BO if MR does not choose a non TP and head central again, so while BO has done squat to earn term 2, he does accept gifts. Many have been on stage at GOP debates.

His latest screeching divisiveness is for his Left-wing kook base, that for some reason thinks that kind of rhetoric will win him points from voters.

Too bad this supporter of Obama's didn't have enough of his devisive behavior to stop supporting his campaign. Seems to be a theme about talking the talk but.......well, you know. The real impact would have been for he and several other far leftist billionaires to withhold campaign support rather than reward bad behavior..

We need to see his tax returns so we can tell if obama is just telling another lie.

Oh no, it isn't. Just another successful businessman, this one a big obama/dem supporter, who is tired of obama dividing this nation.

What's the point in trying to compromise with a GOP that is hell bent on saying no to everything?

Might as well tap into the populist mood of the country and make the GOP be the defenders of the rich and the largest corporations.
