Billionaire investor Warren Buffett will help raise money for President Barack Obama's re-election effort at a $35,800-a-ticket fundraiser next month in Chicago, an Obama campaign official said on Wednesday.
Buffett will attend the October 27 event at a private home on Chicago's North Shore that is expected to include major donors to Obama's 2008 presidential run. The Democratic president, who is not expected to attend, is running for re-election in 2012.
Buffett, the legendary chairman of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., has landed in the center of a growing political battle over Obama's proposal to raise taxes on the wealthy by inspiring the so-called Buffett Rule.
Buffett wrote a column last month saying rich people like him often pay less in taxes than those who work for them because of loopholes in the tax code, and can afford to pay more.

Obama should get Immelt out there as well to lecture us...another Obama-loving clown who, like him, doesn't care a whit abut this country.
The hypocrisy 0bama surrounds himself with is staggering.
Yet it does not compare to the stupidity of his own base. What they rail against is there in front of them leading the charge?
TAX CHEAT Warren Buffet is the Tawana Brawley of Class Warfare.
TAX CHEAT Warren Buffet is the Tawana Brawley of Class Warfare.
Buffet takes the microphone and stands up. "I'd like to thank President Obama for inviting me to this dinner..."
Obama snatches the microphone from him - "What do you mean 'To dinner'? People, lift your forks, it's dinner time!!!"
Shouldn’t there be a Learjet Lib tax, say 90% of everything they have?
Pray for America
All they have to do is take the STANDARD deductions instead of the ridiculous reductions that only cheapskates try to take...like Kerry did when he claimed underwear donation to Good-Will.
That's all ANYONE has to do who feels they are under-paying. Don't take itemized deductions and you will pay a LOT more than your secretary.
Why can't someone just make that point loud and often...
...and doesn’t the Buffet group own a jet hire company....?

Of course Buffett likes this new tax proposal. It doesn’t affect him one bit since he makes his money through capital gains. What a &%$#@!
This is just part of a quid-pro-quo.
Buffet owes a Billion dollars in taxes.
Nobama wants Buffet to sale his class warfare scam.
Watch and see if Buffet’s Billion dollar tax problem is settled on the sly for an undisclosed amount.
Its a big payday for a speaking engagement.
