How much access can a possible agent of influence for state sponsors of terrorism buy from President Barack Obama? For Jodie Evans, a progressive Hollywood activist, the going rate appears to be $30,400 for dinner and a conversation.
Last week in San Francisco, Obama headlined a three million dollar fundraiser at the Westin St. Francis Hotel. The San Francisco Chronicle reports about 160 people paid $30,400 or more per couple for a private dinner with Obama followed by a reception costing $500 to $1000 that drew over 900 attendees. Among those at the dinner was the leftist, so-called antiwar group Code Pink co-founder, Jodie Evans.
The Chronicle reports Jodie Evans had a several minutes long conversation with Obama at the fundraiser.
Why does Jodie Evans merit such face time with the president even though she acts as an agent of influence for the anti-American governments of Iran, Cuba and Venezuela, as well as Middle Eastern terrorists?
Jodie Evans helped rally the Los Angeles progressive community to Obama’s side by co-hosting the first Hollywood fundraiser for Obama in February 2007 along with her partner (and ex-husband) Max Palevsky and the Dreamworks trio of Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen. Jodie Evans went on to be appointed a fund raiser for Obama.
Over the life of the campaign, Jodie Evans became one of Obama’s top donors, giving the maximum $2300 to his respective primary and general election funds and tens of thousands of dollars more to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint Obama-Democratic National Committee fund.
Jodie Evans issued several public endorsements of Obama during the campaign targeting the progressive community.
Jodie Evans and Code Pink hosted a get out the vote training effort for Obama in October 2008.
That Jodie Evans is a respected power-player in the Democratic party is no surprise. She worked for Gov. Jerry Brown and managed his 1992 presidential campaign. However, the mainstream media continually gives Jodie Evans a pass, as was noted in this LA Weekly article from 2003 that chastised the Los Angeles Times for ignoring Jodie Evans’ role as a state Democratic party operative in an article on efforts to stave off the recall of her longtime colleague, Gov. Gray Davis.
What is surprising, or should be, is how upfront she is about her pro-terrorist politics and how accepting Obama and her fellow Democrats are of her. That someone with Jodie Evans’ background operates at the presidential level in American politics is extremely disturbing.
Last year, right before Jodie Evans attended another high dollar event for Obama, she gave a radio interview in which she sympathized with Osama bin Laden about his reasons for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that murdered nearly 3000 Americans and foreign nationals.
Jodie Evans:…”We were attacked because we were in Saudi Arabia, that was the message of Osama, was that because we had our bases in the Middle East, he attacked the United States.”
Paul A. Ibbetson: “Do you think that’s a valid argument?”
Jodie Evans: “Sure. Why do we have bases in the Middle East? We totally violated the rights of that country. Why do we get to have bases in the Middle East?”
Also in the interview, Jodie Evans admitted to trying to “undermine the war effort” of the United States in the war on terror.
Jodie Evans has been espousing her support for terrorists for years. In February 2003, Jodie Evans and Code Pink traveled to Baghdad as a guest of Saddam Hussein’s government where they lobbied the world to keep the state sponsor of terrorism in power.
After the liberation, in the summer of 2003, Jodie Evans returned to Iraq where she set up Occupation Watch, an effort to smear the U.S. with ginned up charges of atrocities and to get troops in Iraq to quit the war. Jodie Evans relayed terrorist propaganda to a communist newspaper that American soldiers were wantonly slaughtering Iraqi women and children.
Jodie Evans and Code Pink delivered over $600,000 in cash and humanitarian aid to what Code Pink called “the other side” in Fallujah as the U.S. was waging a hard fought battle to clear the terrorist safe haven of al Qaeda in Iraq and other Sunni terrorists. The delivery of the aid to the terrorists was faciliated by Sen. Barbara Boxer and Reps. Henry Waxman, Dennis Kucinich and Raul Grijalva.
SNIP
This is the debut article at Big Government for Andrea Shea King and yours truly.
Among the hot news in the article is the revelation that Henry Waxman was not alone in helping Code Pink help the terrorists in Fallujah. Sen. Barbara Boxer and Reps. Dennis Kucinich and Raul Grijalva are also implicated in this treasonous aid.
I'll be on Andrea's Blogtalk radio show to talk about the article and the implications for our national security. Tune in at 9 p.m. EDT at:
Or at Radio Patriot.
“Frank Marshall Davis works closely in communist causes with Vernon Jarrett in Chicago. Davis moves to hawaii where he eventually meets and mentors a young Barack Obama. Then Obama moves to Chicago where his career is promoted by both Davis’s old colleague Vernon Jarrett and the Communist Party. Vernon Jarrett’s daughter-in-law employs Barack Obama’s fiance, befriends the family and becomes one of President Obama’s most trusted advisors. The Communist Party throws its entire weight behind Obama’s presidential campaign.
Are we expected to believe that this is all mere coincidence?
Would there be an Obama/Jarrett relationship today, if there had been no Frank Marshall Davis/Jarrett connection through the Communist Party of post war Chicago?
What role, if any, has the modern Communist Party USA played in fostering that relationship in more recent times?
The Communist Party USA continues to back their “friend” Barack Obama.
How deeply has the Communist Party been involved in advancing Obama’s political career-through the Jarrett family, or by other means?
The answers to these questions will have major implications for the future of what’s left of the free world.”
***the going rate appears to be $30,400 for dinner and a conversation.***
That is almost my yearly income!

Top Obama Bundler & Code Pink Co-Founder Meets With Ahmadinejad
We last saw Obama supporter Jodie Evans (left) and Medea Benjamin at the RNC where they tried to storm the stage during Governor Sarah Palin’s talk. They entered the arena using stolen identities of Republican delegates.
I will ALWAYS wonder who the European speaking man was when I called Jodie on a whim, and she apparently failed to hang up her phone.
I took notes and listened for a couple of hours, as Jodie gave an interview (I think it was Al Jezzera) and listened to the “reporter” comment before the interview. I eventually threw away the notes, but know what I heard.
This country has well fed, well funded enemies living among us, and they aren’t always Arabs.
Thank you Kristinn, for being on the front lines, fighting, and bringing the truth out.
I am an average American, but am willing to attend a march in D.C. when the time comes. I will do whatever I can to salvage this country.
WHAT RECESSION?
There are two Americas. Or something.
They’re common United States terrorists. No different than the folks who light car lots on fire.
Excellent reporting. Thanks.
Jodie Evans helped rally the Los Angeles progressive community to Obama's side by co-hosting the first Hollywood fundraiser for Obama in February 2007 along with her partner (and ex-husband) Max Palevsky and the Dreamworks trio of Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen... the mainstream media continually gives Jodie Evans a pass, as was noted in this LA Weekly article from 2003 that chastised the Los Angeles Times for ignoring Jodie Evans' role as a state Democratic party operative in an article on efforts to stave off the recall of her longtime colleague, Gov. Gray Davis... Last year, right before Jodie Evans attended another high dollar event for Obama, she gave a radio interview in which she sympathized with Osama bin Laden about his reasons for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that murdered nearly 3000 Americans and foreign nationals. Jodie Evans: ... "We were attacked because we were in Saudi Arabia, that was the message of Osama, was that because we had our bases in the Middle East, he attacked the United States... Why do we have bases in the Middle East? We totally violated the rights of that country. Why do we get to have bases in the Middle East?"
The unifying issue that animates the left worldwide -- including the US of A -- is anti-Americanism.
As the Soviet Union is no more, only hatred of the United States of America unites them. It's all they've got...
Politics Today: Liberal Protests Await Obama in Mass.
(snip)
"President Obama blows into the bluest state tomorrow facing a cold shoulder from once true-blue admirers, as gay rights activists, anti-war protesters and vexed environmentalists vow to picket a fund-raiser he’s headlining for Gov. Deval Patrick - a marquee event that hasn’t even sold out," report the Boston Herald's Edward Mason and Hillary Chabot.
"As of last night, liberals who once braved frigid temperatures to behold Obama were shunning tickets to the fund-raiser at the posh Westin Copley Place featuring the president, sources told the Herald. And despite campaign denials, Patrick operatives reportedly were pushing the ducats - between $500 and $6,000 - by e-mail up to the last minute...
"Among the groups planning to dog Obama during his scheduled afternoon swing through Cambridge and Boston: Anti-war activists CODEPINK ... Environmental coalition 350.org ... gay marriage advocate Join the Impact-MA ."
One thing the president is sure not to talk about in Massachusetts, reports the Washington Post's Ceci Connolly, is the state's universal health care plan.
Me...Is Code Pink getting a cold shoulder from the messiah???
How much information does it take to make people realize the Communists are already in DC and running the country. They are now in the process of taking over the health care, food supply and power(cap and trade). After that, you will wake up one morning and realize you are in the USSofA. This isn’t a joke anymore. The coup is here.
"..Ms. Evans is a very rich and powerful woman, thanks largely to her divorce settlement from the billionaire capitalist Max Palevsky in "common property" California..."
It figures she didn't earn it.
Just freakin unbelievable.
The whole thing.
There is so much going on in the US these days that, you just read this stuff and it sounds like it just can’t be true. It sounds like a sorry made-up farce that nobody would ever believe.
Thank you for reporting this story. Hussein Obama’s friends, from what we can tell by reports such as yours, all seem to be enemies of the constitutional republic. Boxer, Waxman, et al. need to be prosecuted for betraying their sworn oath to this country and for violating the public trust. Evans’ activities mandate scrutiny by intel.
What job pays her enough to be able to afford a $30,400 dinner?
