I'd hate for my father's/mother's assets to be sold to fund a tea party rally.

I understand. This all helps those who do not want all of their eggs in one basket.

Yes only her own money can be used to fund "tea parties."

(I keep saying "right right right...." LOL)

To continue to hijack this thread - the first time I met her, her first words were "God I hate that asshole Obama. I don't care if it's rude. If anyone here likes him we're going to have problems."

I could go either way on President Obama any given day but that's not the way to make a good first impression.

agzg, that's exactly the kind of thing I was talking about. (The house thing, not the Obama is an asshole thing.)
