He made the announcement at the end of his hour long special which streamed live on Yahoo on Thursday, saying "I would like tonight to announce a donation to the Obama super PAC, which has the very unfortunate tongue-twister name Priority [sic] USA Action. I know, it was named by Borat. But tonight, I would like to give that PAC one million dollars." Maher told viewers that he felt an Obama victory over any of the Republican candidates would be "worth a million dollars," saying that the donation was "the wisest investment I think I could make," before encouraging other wealthy people to do the same.The super PAC Maher donated to only raised $59K last month.
