WASHINGTON (CNN) — Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee, will endorse John McCain for president on Wednesday, her spokesman tells CNN.

The announcement will take place at a news conference on Capitol Hill, just blocks away from the DNC headquarters. Forester will “campaign and help him through the election,” the spokesman said of her plans to help the Republican presidential nominee.

Forester was a major donor for Clinton earning her the title as a Hillraiser for helping to raise at least $100,000 for the New York Democratic senator’s failed presidential bid.

In an interview with CNN this summer, Forester did not hide her distaste for eventual Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

“This is a hard decision for me personally because frankly I don't like him,” she said of Obama in an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns. “I feel like he is an elitist. I feel like he has not given me reason to trust him.”

Forester is the CEO of EL Rothschild, a holding company with businesses around the world. She is married to international banker Sir Evelyn de Rothschild. Forester is a member of the DNC’s Democrats Abroad chapter and splits her time living in London

"Cho Myong-nok, who is the de facto No. 2 man in the regime, the head of the general political bureau, "

The last straw came when D. Brazile berated her for not forking over the $30K for a plate at Streisand's table.

Acquiring a skill to hide the distaste will be absolutely vital come January if Obama wins. If Obama wins, those not skilled enough in that area will have quite a nasty fate coming their way...

baba streisland looks like she’s gained 50 lbs!

You know she wouldn't do this without the Clinton okay, so basically Hillary is giving her endorsement by proxy.

obambi must be furious.

MORANS at DU will crucify this woman, that is if they have the nerve to even post the story. I've been peeking in on them lately and they've been very skittish over there lol.

This will cause exploding heads on the Left.

Excellent!

I don’t see how one Hillary supporter could back Obama the way she was treated in the primaries. He was very sexist towards her.

Good lesson: never vote for someone you don't like and can't trust.

The impeached one and PIAPS are working O/T to kill Zero’s presidential run...Jack Wheeler has an article on this at his web site....

What McCain needed to do today was head off to Texas and helped out distributing food in Galveston. That picture alone would have send shock wave across the $28,000 a plate dinner over at Satan's daughter house. Missed opportunity?

This woman has wandered off the plantation and will instantly be vilified by the Democrats.

[DOGHEAD]

They are relizing that he can’t win and now they want to ensure that he does not. So that Hillary can run in 2012.

Silly me ... I thought prominent meant somebody would have actually heard of this person.

The name "Rothschild" is obscure ? Sort of like "Rockefeller" I guess.

Baron Rothschild hosted McCain’s only fundraiser for Americans aboard in the Spring in London. I assume she is the wife.

When Greta Van Susteren’s husband came out for McCain right before the convention he said that others would follow...right on schedule!

[AHerald]

Good news. Greta Van Susteren’s husband, John Coale, a major Clinton friend and fund raiser who’s now working to round up Democrats for McCain, said during the convention that the campaign will be rolling out a lot of surprise endorsements from Democrats in the weeks to come.

I bet those aren’t pop beads, are they?

How much of a snob and/or elitist do you have to be to be called one by a Rothschild? Can we say uber old money? Wow :)
