President Barack Obama is in town for a pair of Democratic fundraisers in Chicago tonight where organizers hope to raise more than $2 million.
Obama attended a big-dollar fundraiser on tap tonight at the Lincoln Park home of Penny Pritzker, who headed up his national fundraising during his presidential campaign. The dinner is $30,400 per couple or $15,200 per person, all to benefit the Democratic National Committee.

.... and took a shot at the media for "a lack of sustained focus on the facts" concerning health care reform.
"That makes it very difficult," he said.
Referring to opposition to his efforts to pass a health care bill, he said, "It gets on my nerves. It frustrates me that we'd even be suggesting the status quo is the best we can do."
*snip* He talked about his call to Sox ace Mark Buehrle and said he told him he should take DeWayne Wise out for a steak to thank him for the perfect-game-saving catch.
"Even when you're pitching a perfect game, you still need help," he said.
That kind of team play is important, he said, but "that's not how Washington has been doing things."

“Obama attended a big-dollar fundraiser on tap tonight at the Lincoln Park home of Penny Pritzker, who headed up his national fundraising during his presidential campaign. The dinner is $30,400 per couple or $15,200 per person, all to benefit the Democratic National Committee.”
Penny Pritzker who just inherited 2 billion and never worked a day in her life. Good job Penny, you idiot!
Does he ever do anything worth while? Either he’s on vacation or traveling around giving campaign speeches. Jeez
Isn’t raising money an ethics violation. But isn’t everything an ethics violation these days
“and took a shot at the media for “a lack of sustained focus on the facts” concerning health care reform.
“That makes it very difficult,” he said”
That’s it turd, piss off the only faction that’s been totally in the tank for you from the beginning.
Keep your eyes out for local news articles naming names.
“$30,400 per couple or $15,200 per person”
In govt. terms, that’s a sale.
CALL NOW IN THE NEXT 10 MINUTES and set a second seat for only twice the price.
The O media certainly is NOT focusing on the facts....and neither are the attendees. At $ 15,000 a plate health care is aimed at their Buns for sure...Tax the rich and then make ‘em Pay to Play at the fundraisers.
Better head back to DC BHO, not too safe out there in middle America, you might run into a Tea Party shout down.....more bad press (if it gets reported)
In less then 24 hours homie the clown has pissed off,whites, doctors, police and now his best friend the media. Hey but sharpton thinks he is doing swell
These Democrat fat cats are the ones BO should tax to the max with every surcharge for every government program he has initiated. They obviously have money to burn.
Is he going to be fundraising on our dime every week up till 2012?
sw
Omarosa is away so the cat will play.
We should start making sure that tea parties break out where ever the sob tries to speak..boo him down.
“The dinner is $30,400 per couple or $15,200 per person...”
Imagine the amount of homeless and porr this could feed in this country alone. Better yet, imagine how many uninsured could be insured.....
When we had insurance, $15,000 would have paid our family’s premiums for two years.
We have sort of cobbled together cheaper coverage now.
As I wrote to my senator — since I left my full-time job, we have gone through two farm accidents, three childbirths and several ER visits.
We never had to worry if we would get care. As far as paying for it, we just did the best we could.
Losing access to care really scares me.
He recounted how one Republican strategist reportedly advised GOP lawmakers to resist compromise and “go for the kill” on health care.
And he referred again to the comments of Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who recently said that health care could be Obama’s “Waterloo” — the battle that spells his end.
They’re talking about “breaking me,” Obama said, “when it’s really the American people who are being broken.”
I wish DeMint hadn’t said that. sheesh, can they keep their mouths shut for once? Now Obama is making the people that don’t want this plan look like the only reason that they don’t want it is to see him fail. That fires up his base. republicans better learn how to play this chess match or they will lose every time.

Don’t forget to add in the cost of SS, AF1 and other local LEO’s.
Hell's bells, I'd be estatic if he'd go on vacation permanently.
