Obama raises funds with MF Global bankruptcy law firm

In 2009, President Barack Obama said he didn't run for office to help out "fat cat bankers," but it appears that he has no problem with fat cat bankers --- or the fat cat law firms who represent them --- helping him.

Monday night, Obama will attend a private fundraiser hosted by Dwight Bush, president of Urban Trust Bank, and his wife Antoinette, a partner at the international law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher, and Flom.

Tickets for the event are at least $17,900 per person.

Another one for the "Can You Imagine The Reaction if a Republican Tried This" file.

Pretty nice, what you can get away with if you know you own the major media.

Seems as if the Journalistic Code of Ethics is going to be compared with EVERY story that comes out of the Media now.

Does this one meet their own criteria?
