Buffet

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has Oprah Winfrey, but rival Hillary Clinton boasted an even wealthier billionaire at one of her events on Tuesday -- super investor Warren Buffett, "the Sage of Omaha."

Buffett, the chairman and chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway Inc, helped the New York senator raise $1 million at a lunch in San Francisco on Tuesday, following a similar event in June in New York.

Clinton let the famed investor do most of the talking in an on-stage discussion of economic and other issues before 1,500 supporters. The former first lady asked a series of questions, including seeking Buffett's outlook for the weak U.S. dollar.

Buffett said the trade gap in which the United States buys $2 billion more of foreign goods than it sells abroad every day would keep the dollar weak.

"If we follow the same policies, we'll get the same results," he said. "I predict the dollar over time will lose value unless we start changing aspects of our trade policy."

Although not as charismatic as talk-show host Winfrey, who has been campaigning with Sen. Obama, Buffett offered a mix of business gravitas with Nebraskan folksiness.

At one point he told a slightly off-color joke in which adultery was the punch line. Clinton, whose imperfect marriage with former President Bill Clinton has long been in the spotlight, laughed with rest of the crowd.

I don't see what she would thinks is funny about adultery. It's probably going to keep her out of the white house.

You know that was one (maybe the only one :roll: ) positive about old Bills term- he provided the comedians with loads of ammo- much of which is still being used today...
But its tough for the comedians to make King Georges reign into something that makes you want to laugh- when its made up of WW3 saber rattleling, dying soldiers, invaded countries, nation building around the world, an unprotected US border, poisoned pets and kids, runaway corporate corruption, selling out our sovereignty, erosion of our Constitution, promoting a new semi-slave class, runaway inflation (which they won't admit) and an economy heading for the cess pool.....

Yep good thing Bill's cigar can still make folks laugh- along with some of the uncloseted hypocrites that appear ever few months- so that Jay Leno and the boys have some material....
