Perhaps the the McCain campaign can get a grant from the U.S. Treasury to fund their bonuses.

Well deserved!

But "suffer" and "slave"? Not my choice of words for working on a fantastic campaign, with a fantastic boss, and plenty of motivation to succeed.

Excellent idea! The staffers worked very hard and made many sacrifices to help Obama get elected. They deserve the extra money and I'm glad Obama's doing this. It demonstrates his genuine concern for working people.

Well deserved. I gave and am one hundred percent behind his decision. It's called looking out for those that had your back. Now, since we had his back...
