Obama, Clinton to visit Montana


HELENA, Mont. (AP) -- The campaign of presidential hopeful Barack Obama says he will visit Montana on April 5th.

The Montana Democratic Party confirmed earlier that Hillary Clinton will be in Montana on that date.

The campaign visits, two months before Montana's June 3rd primary, will center around the state party's annual Mansfield-Metcalf dinner in Butte. Party officials say they expect 4,000 people to attend the event at the Butte Civic Center.

The first batch of tickets sold old. The Democratic Party says another 2,400 will be offered for sale on Monday.

Democracy in action: "Bill Gates, with a net worth of $58 billion at last count, would have to spend about $10 million a day on non-appreciating items like McDonald's Happy Meals just to hold the level of his wealth constant." And hes is not even the "richest" anymore.

I didn't think you were. He's Just rich and getting richer at $10 million a day. I'm getting richer at $33 a day. That won't even cover a round of drinks at Plonk.

I saw Bill Gates at the yellowstone club when I was a lifty. His kids were skiing, he was on the phone at the lodge all weekend.

money.com says you have to have at least 25Million$ to be considered "rich" these days. So John, you are well on your way. They said people in the 10Million$ range are not rich because they still have to "worry" about things like health insurance and buying things with credit, at 25$ Million you can pay for everything in CASH for your whole life and not get bled to death by "finance charge" like other non-rich people.
