R.I.P.
Roy to Obama: Heaven's Great, Here's Fifty Bucks

Posted Apr 23rd 2008 11:35AM by TMZ Staff

roy scheiderDeceased 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.

8. C'mon people. All three candidates probably have hundreds of thousands of automatic monthly donations, how can you blame Barack or his campaign for money coming out of this guys account automatically every month? If it was set up that way, and his credit cards were still allowing the payments, the people who work on the financial end for the campaign would never had a reason to check into it. I am sure once the payment got denied or they were notified that this donation was to be canceled they did the right thing. It seems people at this point want to attack Barack for anything and everything.
