Obama slams the rich at the home of a guy named Rich Richman

President Obama blasted Republicans as the party of “billionaires” on Tuesday while mingling with high-rollers at the $26 million estate of Rich Richman — yes, that’s his real name — in Greenwich, Connectiut.

While Obama was schmoozing — and the press pool was playing billiards in the basement — he was also soliciting donations for House Democrats in an e-mail.

Always the anti-capitalist. Never mind that the most notable socialists are also rich. Socialism is for everyone else, not them.

With the Obamas, I wonder whether they are completely oblivious to their gross hypocrisy, or do they revel in it?
