Barbra Streisand skips Democratic fundraiser ($30,400 gets pic w/ prez)
POLITICO ^ | 8/17/10 | PATRICK GAVIN

Posted on 08/17/2010 10:47:57 AM PDT by Liz

Streisand and Jeffrey Katzenberg were no-shows at a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraiser.....billed as co-hosts w/ Steven Spielberg and J.J. Abrams. Notables included Judd Apatow, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis and Reps. Howard Berman, Brad Sherman, Judy Chu and Laura Richardson. The price to be a co-host was $30,400 per couple, which included a photo with Obama — though POTUS said photo ops weren't the point of the evening. "I hope you understand why we're here tonight,'' said Obama. "It's not to take a picture with the president. We're here to make sure those who took the tough votes are rewarded."

obamanation language again: “are rewarded” by paying mega bucks to be there! obamanation cannot tell the truth ... and I believe he no longer knows the truth... everything is subjective to his mental skew

"We're here to make sure those who took the tough votes are rewarded."

I believe there is a quote from the time of the English Civil War in which an member of Parliament scoffs, "Well, if a member of parliament cannot become rich by holding the office, then I fail to see the purpose of the office."

What’s the reward? The opportunity to look stupid yet again?

Streisand and Katzenberg are both, though nominally I suspect, Jewish....and this is right after Zero made his remarks about the mosque..just wondering.

The only picture I would like to be in with mac daddy is waving good bye to him as he is being locked in a prison cell for life.

F#ck’em, just so they sent their money. The slimes stream media just wants the horse race of how much money DumBO can raise.

“...right after Zero made his remarks about the mosque..just wondering...”

That thought crossed my mind too but a Barbra Steisand Jew is a liberal self-hating Jew and I can’t believe she would do anything other than nod her head in approval of Obama’s Friday remarks.

$30,400 wouldn’t be even 10% of what it would take to make me be in a picture with that kenyan piece of shit!

The Co-hosts were a no-show? That’s embarrassing.

I think many in the hollywood community were(silently)in the Hillary camp....and were forced to pinch their nostrils when supporting/voting for Obama...

...a practice all too familiar to conservatives voters.

I hadn’t looked at it that way, but I think you’re on the money. I don’t think the Obama administration believes there is such a thing as truth. It explains a lot.

Good call.
