Interestingly, OpenSecrets has no donations for a Don or Katrina Peebles in D.C., the fundraiser hosts, for 2008 or 2010.

I checked Virginia & Maryland as well.

One thing about it, when we throw the bastard out in 2012 he’ll be set for life. The dummies are throwing all of their money at HIM instead of the U.S. Treasury.

President Barack Obama turns his attention to campaign politics Monday night...

His attention?

He has none to turn.

I expect the media will button this up if they can. If not, more fence sitters --the ones not skewered on posts--will jump to our side.

These people who are giving their money should take a close look at the French Revolution. It’s falling apart, all of it. And, when it has fallen, where do they think they’ll be?

Well, all these “po white folk” must be Republicans if they can afford $15,000 a pop for a photo-op with the Marxists In Chief.

They can’t be hardworking Democrats because as you all know, only Republicans make money off the backs of the working class.

(My answer to this type of mental stupidity would be: Only whores make money on their backs from Democrats; and Democrats screw the whole country, spend taxpayers money, and call it progressivism

Expect a lot of labor whores to be at this dinner, along with Democrat-suckups and asskissers. DC is loaded with them. They’re the ones out partying while the rest of us work two jobs to pay the taxes they levy on on.

When the Duc of Orleans was working with the revolutionaries, he was more than happy to vote for the death of Louis XVI, obviously in the hopes that he would inherit the throne of France, becoming a constitutional monarch. Go figure, he was among those guillotined. These celebrities and other fluffy supporters think that when society collapses and another strongman emerges, they think they will be among the elite, but are in fact the likelier to end up in front of a firing squad or struggling in the gutter.

If and when there is a complete collapse, Hollywood will be the first ot be hit since no one will go see any movies and no one will bother paying attention to entertainers since they will be worrying about thier own problems. Celebrities will become irrelevant and there will be a new order. Who will lead and from what country is unknown, but there is a change coming and we had best be ready for it.

Maybe this is a subtle way of bribing him to just walk away in 2012 without encouraging anyone to riot and burn their neighborhoods down. A golden parachute out of office.
