CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller reported from the glitzy $40,000 a person Obama fundraiser at the home of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. Yes, you read that right, $40,000 each.  Ponder that as you read this next tweet:

Pres Obama said he knows there are "still a lot of people hurting out there...we constantly remind ourselves how much more we have to do."

While rubbing elbows with New York’s rich and famous, Obama paused to remember the Americans suffering under his economy, how sweet.

Here’s a peek at the menu — steak from the restaurant Marea:

What he meant to say:

Pres Obama said he knows there are “still a lot of people hurting out there...we constantly remind ourselves how much more we have than they do.”

They replaced the stairways with big wide ramps, so Trigger could clop between floors easily.

"Pres Obama said he knows there are "still a lot of people hurting out there...we constantly remind ourselves how much more we have to do."

...and that's exactly what he would say to an audience that's completely guided by their emotions. Those who use a little bit more than their reptilian brains might say, "That's true, and those who are hurting the most live in places occupied by, and run by the Democrat Party, places like Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Boston, New York, Miami and Los Angeles!"

Wasn’t this the dinner that the “commoner” was supposed to be at, along with Vogue editor Anna Wintour, she of “Devil Wears Prada”-inspiration infamy?

I wonder how that all went.

People in this country going hungry and jackasses like these giving money to the person that caused all of this..A gathering of jackasses that is really pathetic..I hope all of them promise if their boy does not get reelected they will all move to another country and give up their passports from here..

Obama is Randal Flagg. His loyal followers will accept no other ideology.

Randall Flagg made his first official appearance in the 1978 apocalyptic novel The Stand. In it, he is trying to build a civilization in his name in the United States after a plague has killed off most of the population. Flagg’s backstory is vague, unknown even to him — Flagg states that at some point he just “became” — although he has memories of being a Marine, a Klansman, and a Viet Cong member, as well as having a hand in the kidnapping of Patty Hearst. Stationed in Las Vegas, Flagg attracts people who are drawn to destruction, power and fascism. Flagg uses crucifixion, torture, and other torments as punishment for those who are disloyal. His followers reorganize the society, and rebuild the city. Flagg plans to attack and destroy the other emerging civilization—Mother Abagail's "Free Zone" in Boulder, Colorado—to become the dominant society in the former United States.[1]

Anyone recall that speech he gave a while ago where he stated while others may suffer economically but he wasn’t worried about himself or his family? They would be ok.

It’s just a matter of feeding both their egos and their false righteousness.

They “care” about “the little people”, mostly just in words and policy support. This is their way of deeming themselves righteous, and it doesn’t require any repentance or recognition of their depraved state.

I saw these pix on the Daily Mail story about Barack Kardashian's jaunt to NYC, and wondered, "Freepers?":

Protest: Not all New Yorkers were delighted to see Mr Obama visit the city on Thursday

Some people came up with creative slogans for their placards ahead of Obama's visit to Greenwich Village

Good work by whoever they are.

Edited for more accurate description of attitude at the big soiree.

It is amazing the Hollyweirdos have $40K to spend to get the Obaminator elected, so he can take money from the middle class. Maybe they should put on a few fundraisers to directly help the poor and laid off workers. Think anyone would show up?
