Deceased actor Roy Scheider still gives Barack Obama credit, and it's a big problem.
Scheider gave $50 to Barack Obama on March 10 -- problem is, he's been dead since February 10. The 50-spot was an automatic, monthly credit card donation -- which lived on, even though Roy didn't.
A spokesperson for the campaign told the L.A.Times they will no longer take from the dead.

Instead, they will concentrate a larger percentage of their "Get Out the Vote" efforts in this demographic, with special emphasis in the Chicago and South Texas areas.
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!
That'll be $10, please.

It's not like Obama is taking money from lobbyists-- you can be pretty sure that Scheider is not going to be asking for any political favors in exchange for his donation.

Now, if Roy Scheider votes in the November general election, that would be a story.
