The Obama Escape Clause

You know those folks who say they will leave the U.S. if McCain is elected? Now they can still proceed with their plans to buy a condo in the meantime, thanks to a clause some developers have been inserting to condo contracts:
Purchaser may have pursuant to the Offering Plan or at law, in the event that Barack Obama, Democratic candidate for President of the United States of America, fails to win the Presidential election to be held on Nov. 4, 2008, Purchaser shall have the right to cancel this Purchase Agreement upon ten (10) days written notice to Sponsor and upon cancellation will promptly be refunded the entire contract deposit with any interest earned thereon.
So far, the deal has only been offered in Queens and Manhattan. There’s still time for Brooklyn developers to jump on the bandwagon though!
A Condo Escape Clause for New York Liberals [NY Times]
Unless there is more to it than the quoted language suggests, this escape clause would be very useful to any buyer looking to get out of the contract for any reason whatsoever if Obama happens to lose (even if completely unrelated to the fact that he lost).
Yeah, I was actually thinking about Polemecist when I wrote the line about the liberal crap.
Actually, prodigal, taking down the post may be to your benefit. You may have unwittingly broken federal law. You really don’t want that post hanging out there. You might want to make the request to Mr. B yourself. (Wow, I’ve really turned into the stereotypically risk-averse lawyer on this post in the last two days. I’ll have to stay off the home page and stick to sinks and thermostats for a while. And, I repeat, I am not Mr. B’s lawyer and this post does not constitute legal advice.)
Up to you Prodigal Son. You just issued a direct threat against the life of a presidential candidate. At best you are just being painfully stupid. Those sorts of things are taken extremely seriously, and rightfully so. The last four words of your post are about the dumbest thing I have seen someone post in a long time. You are now officially below sebb and the What on the intellectual totem pole.
DIBS,I give up. I can’t win here. I’m hardly a liberal.
OK, Brownstoner and community: I hereby retract all previous comments regarding McCain.
Publicly and openly and absolutely.
PS…you don’t get a free pass these days for posting something like that on the web. That threat coupled with all the liberal crap that you post most of the time would most certainly open up an FBI file in your name
No offense taken. I’ve learned to turn the other cheek.
lechacal and DIBS,
Please…
I think Mr B should send his post and his account info to the FBI. Then we’ll see PS’s sorry mug on TV like those two absurd loser skinheads yesterday
