Always classy - Obama's first campaign

State Journal-Register:
City of Springfield out of options on Obama/Biden bill
Springfield�s budget director says the city is out of options to be reimbursed for expenses associated with hosting then-Sen. Barack Obama�s presidential campaign stop in the fall of 2008.
�Short of suing the campaign, which isn�t really going to do anything � it would drag on forever � there�s really nothing we can do,� said Bill McCarty. �We�ve tried.�
Obama introduced his running mate, Joe Biden, at the Old State Capitol in August 2008. About 160 police officers and nine civilians helped provide protection for Obama�s visit, according to an invoice from the city.
Obama�s presidential campaign was sent a bill for $68,139, but still owes $55,457.
The city has tried for years to collect.
Deadbeat. Does not surprise me.
