President Obama charged that his Republican opponents had “nothing to offer except cynicism and fear and frustration” during a fundraiser Thursday in Minnesota.
The fundraiser capped off a day Obama spent with Rebekah Erler, a working mother who wrote the president to detail her financial struggle.
“It moved me,” Obama said of the letter, adding that he only went into politics to help people like her.
Obama said he remembered what it felt like to be struggling to figure out “how you lead a good life and raise your kids, not looking to get wildly wealthy… trying to make ends meet.”
That's what we should be talking about every day in Washington,” he said. “We talk about everything else. .. We talk about phony scandals. We talk about Benghazi. and we talk about polls and we talk about the tea party and we talk about the latest controversy... We don't talk about her.”
Obama also showered praise on House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), saying he loved the former House Speaker.
“I love her because she smart. And she’s tough. And she’s fearless,” Obama said.
The president bragged he and Pelosi “got more done than any Congress since the 1960s” during the first two years of his presidency.
“I want her back,” Obama said.
Approximately 60 guests attended the fundraiser, Obama’s sixth for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee this year. Tickets ranged from $10,000 per person to $32,400 per couple, and high profile Democratic guests included former Vice President Mondale, Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton, and Minnesota Reps. Keith Ellison, Betty McCollum, and Rick Nolan.

What is this crap, the new poor little (rich) me meme? Hillary too! Sheesh!

Just the sort of 'po folks' that crap would resonate with (although they may have started out that way).
Poor as a Hillary-Bill-Chelsea church mouse.
Still trying to revive the “phony scandals” meme. Bush has been out of office for six years and the buck stops with Obama—if it retains its value, that is.
President Obama and Sec. of State Hillary Clinton promise relatives of the dead that they will find the film maker of the video that caused 4 American's to die in Benghazi.
Brian Terry's death on the border wasn't due to "Fast and Furious" gun running, so says Attorney General Holder....
And the Fort Hood massacre was called workplace violence....
They are holding hands there!!!! The two biggest
liars ever.
Maybe the people attending the fundraiser can write Rebekah a check.
He is the king of logical fallacies.
“They are holding hands there!!!! The two biggest
liars ever.”
Surprised they didn’t burst into flames....

Wooow. She reminds me of the two characters in Death Becomes Her - that much plastic surgery. And smart?! She couldn’t find her way out of a paper bag.
Fearless? You mean lawless.
Starting to sound like Bill Clinton isn’t he. Next he’ll be blaming some Vast Right Wing Conspiracy or something.
He's going to say the same thing right through his trial for treason.
Are scandals involving the phony resident scandals? Hmmm.
Opps. I meant are scandals involving the phony resident phony scandals? Hmmm.
