Even loyal Obama supporters are raising their eyebrows at the very pricey fundraising -- like that exclusive $35,800-per-person dinner in San Francisco -- planned as part of the President's April 20 visit to the Bay Area.
The April Western U.S. swing by the President, which includes a stop in Reno and Los Angeles as well as San Francisco, is part of Obama's 2012 re-election kickoff campaign. But also scheduled .. a jobs and economy event in the Bay Area on April 20.

Obama supporters acknowledge that the $35,800 per person San Francisco Obama Victory Fund dinner may represent a new pricetag high for political fundraising. ..
Yes, "there's a little bit of sticker shock,'' one Dem told us this week. The explanation: $30,800 of that donation will go to the Democratic National Committee, with $5,000 going to the Obama campaign -- $2,500 for the primary and $2,500 for the general election.
Here's the details of the Obama fundraising schedule as we know them so far:
*On April 20, organizers are promising a "low dollar" event at Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco, with tickets priced at $25, $250, $1,000 and $2,500. The high end ticket, $2,500, gets a donor a spot in the first three rows of the venue -- along with a photo line shot, ..
*April 20th evening: Obama will star at a very exclusive dinner at the San Francisco home of Marc Benioff, chairman and CEO of salesforce.com. That will allow just 60 high end supporters to dine with the President; potential donors are being told that Obama will "go to each table and speak with everyone individually,'' with photographer in tow for that $35,800 check. ("Yes, you read that correctly,'' another astonished potential check-writer told us.)

Job #1 for Obammy..

He would have to pay me about that much to sit and eat with him and listen to him blabber on

Apparently there is no recession for the Dems.

Will he stay for dinner this time, or just have a drink and then tell the guests he has to fly home to pick up Bo’s poops?
Is it a coincidence that democrates seem to be the only people with that much disposable income these days? Party of the “little guy” my big-fat-ass!

and like rats to cheese, where else would one expect to see him run back too the next 18 months... repeatedly.
We should definitely redistribute the wealth of these Democrat fat cats because apparently they have way too much money and too little sense.
More Democrat tax cuts for the rich.
He’ll be loaded in no time either way,, looks like there will be lots of photos for sale or so it sounds..
BO/BS is certainly working the Cloward-Piven strategy to its maximum potential.

As disgraceful as it sounds, you can buy the Presidency of the United States. It doesn’t come cheap but it is definitely for sale. Barry is proof of that. It also appears that when you’re a failure, you can still get a second term but it is really going to cost you for that one. A billion bucks is what they’ve told Barry it’s going to take to get himself a second term. I can’t believe we’ve got the gall to turn up our noses and scoff at Mubarack and Daffi Khadafi. America is no better.
Wasn’t there a fund raiser for him about a month or two back where they had to lower the price to fill the place?
Oh yeah. Party of the working man. What bullshit.
Hope and Change. He hopes you can make it, although it will cost you a hefty chunk of change if you do.
