... Obama made three fundraising stops during an overnight South Florida visit Friday, including an event in which he met with senior leaders of the Cuban exile community....
... "For me it was an honor and a privilege to host a fundraiser for the President of the United States, who has been a friend," said Jorge Mas Santos, chairman of the Cuban American National Foundation, who hosted the second local event Obama attended in his own home.

And a media report that ignores the issue. The same media that attacked Bush for less.
We are living in Orwell's nightmare.
Any wealthy person who is still giving money to Obama and the Democrats should be suspected of shady dealings for which they are paying protection to keep the IRS at bay. That’s the way is works in our corrupt, Chicago-style government today.
If ever a Republican is elected again, those donors should be the first ones investigated.
How can any freedom-loving Cuban even stand to listen to Obama? I don’t get it.
Voting base more illegals

Jorge Mas Canosa was born into a religious, middle class family in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba in 1939. Since an early age, he was outspoken about his oppositions to dictatorships and was persecuted and imprisoned for his views by both the Fulgencio Batista and Fidel Castro regimes. After expressing his views about the latter of these, Mas Canosa was forced into exile and arrived in Miami, Florida.
How much do these fund raisers cost us?
Do we even break even?
Flying around in AF One with helicopters and Cargo planes and Secret Service and special police working overtime.
Do we as a country spend more to get Obama to these fund raisers than the fund raiser actually takes in?
For example the trip to Miami cost us at least a couple of million dollars. How much did the fund raise collect.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper if Obama stayed in the White House and we just sent his fund raiser a check?
Speaking of attending events, how could one find out how many times self proclaimed Christians, Obama & family, have attended a church service, not including those in official capacity as in a memorial service while in office?
I’m sure he was merely raising money to send to the Detroit police officers retirement fund.
I don’t get it either. They must be expecting a “normalization policy with Cuba” under the Marxist. That is their goal from what I gather but they may wish to examine the rest of that deal, at what cost? When you make a deal with a snake, expect to get bit.
Meanwhile, the chocolate crusader was in my state yesterday on the public dime again raising funds for the DNC and probably Crist. I am sick of his use of my plane to conduce his enemy operations, especially in my state.
This Cuban surely has ulterior motives. ...other than immigration. Cubans have more rights in the U.S. than natural-born citizens. They receive a cash stipend from the government immediately after filling out minimal paperwork when they arrive. They are fast-tracked through the process of “legally” staying in the U.S. and they are fast-tracked for citizenship. They have no needs for additional immigration reform. All of the Cubans that I know and work with are vehemently anti-Obama. And I live right in the middle of thousands...I can throw a cigar stub from my patio and it will land in the middle of Calle Ocho.
Theoretically, the campaign or democRat organization is supposed to pick up the tab for King Barry’s fundraising trips.
I’m not sure about this case, but frequently they somehow manage to schedule fundraisers to coincide with “official” business, such as a speech advocating some policy initiative, a conference, a memorial event, or the like.
The taxpayer pays for the trip because he’s just doing the “people’s business”. And since the king just “happens” to be in town, he can do the fundraiser on the taxpayer’s dime.
Sneaky corrupt bastards.
You know the fight between the Dem forces of darkness and everyone else is still on as long as Obama attends endless fundraisers. If and when they achieve full control, these steenkin’ fundraisers will no longer be necessary.
