We reported a week ago on IL-18's Colleen Callahan's opponent Aaron Schock's fund raising event. Well hat tip to Jonathan Singer over at MyDD for reminding us that 500 bucks is kinda cheap for a sitting president:
That the President has to go this low on the Democrats' target list in order to find a candidate willing to be the recipient of his fundraising largesse is telling.
