The following email intercept from a senior Managing Director of Obama bastion Evercore (Roger Altman: nuf said), explains all there is to know about the Obama presidency, but it does not explain why Groupon still does not have a "meet your president, half off price" coupon yet. Anyway, we'll got and report ourselves to @AttackWatch immediately as this is obviously a non-subversive counter-disinformation campaign.
Hi there - fundraising this quarter has been a struggle (as you can imagine give all the negative stuff around the President) - they are offering a one off opportunity to attend this small dinner on Monday for $25k instead of the full max out of $38.5k, or a couple at $38.5k instead of $77k. Just wanted to offer that in case you're interested!

I won’t cut the price.
For me to have dinner with him I will charge the max of $38,500.
Can someone tell me how obama can raise so much money? I thought theres a limit on how much someone can give money to him
Wait a minute! You actually think the rules apply to HIM?
This is a real dinner location... you can enter Ralph Schlosstein in NY, and it comes up 820 Park Ave.
I've been curious about this too. I thought the federal limit was something on the order of $5000. Perhaps its considered "soft" money, where the limits don't apply. Or maybe for your $38,500, you get $33,500 worth of steak and dessert, and $5000 worth of campaign contributions.
Check out the FEC's hand chart. Guess, zer0 has an exception just for him. Seems to me according to the chart, *IF* the dinner was so structured that the money was going to the DNC as opposed to zer0's campaign, then the limit would be $30,800. In other cases, the maximum is less than that for an individual.
"The first $5,000 of a contribution to OVF 2012 will be allocated to Obama for America (with the first $2,500 designated for the primary election, and the next $2,500 for the general). The next $30,800 of a contribution will be allocated to the Democratic National Committee. A contributor may designate a contribution for a particular participant. This allocation formula may change if following it would result in an excessive contribution."
So, the site has the amount wrong... its NOT $38,500, but rather $35,800
Maybe the $3,000 difference goes toward expenses, I.e. Lobster, caviar, champagne, etc

Well, observe what we didn't hear in 2008...
"I'd like to thank my opponent for bringing up the economy. Mr. Obama - isn't your campaign's National Finance Chairwoman Penny Pritzker; and didn't her Chicago Family-owned bank FAIL from doing sub-prime lending in 2001?..."
Evidently there's a few tings da Rats, RINOs, and the proud predators of the American dream on both sides of the aisle would like us to...
