I completely understand presidential campaigns must contain a strong fundraising component. I also understand that it's going to put you in circles of wealth and among people whose lifestyles are anything but the average American's.
Welcome to President Obama's Sunday, as chronicled by the AP:
On Sunday, Obama was holding two fundraisers in Los Angeles. He is also appearing at a small, elite gathering at the home of entertainment mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg, where Obama will be joined by former President Bill Clinton. His campaign calls the gathering a "thank you event" for longtime donors.
Obama's main event will be his remarks at a star-studded concert at the Nokia Theatre, marking 30 days until the election. Actor George Clooney and musical guests Stevie Wonder, Jon Bon Jovi and Katy Perry will entertain the crowd.
The president will wrap up his night at Wolfgang Puck's WP24 restaurant, high above the L.A. skyline in the Ritz-Carlton hotel. With 150 people expected at a cost of $25,000 per person, that event alone will raise $3.75 million.
Obama's trip, in total, will be three days, covering fundraisers in San Francisco and a rally in Columbus, Ohio, the state at the center of both campaign's efforts.
Does anyone else find it ironic that the only gratitude Obama can seem to find for the rich, a demographic he routinely insinuates needs to do more, is for those donors that have helped give him the job and platform he now has? (This is assuming, on my part, that the "elite" longtime donors at Katzenberg's house are well off.) Remember, a Fidelity study found 86% of millionaires were "self-made," or considered themselves so--it's not like many of these millionaires haven't worked hard already. But for the president, warm feelings toward this demographic apparently are best expressed when he's the recipient of the wealthy's often hard-earned cash.
Obama has to go get his ego petted by these Hollywood loons.
Obama: Please Hollywood, please love me, I get NO love at home from my wife who smacks me around all the time
Impossible impossible impossible.....my mother-in-law assures me that Republicans are rich, not Democrats.
Bet he and his team are getting some Hollywood director input on how to act n the next debate while in town.
Ole Wolfee Baby ought to serve them Mochelle new lunches, what is good for the goose is good for the gander.....
The 69 million would love to be there to see their heroes, but they can’t qualify.
Let him steal their money. He’s stolen enough from me. His ass is going to be handed to Hollyweird on a platter.
"Obama's goin' down the fruit cellar with me; gonna say hello to mother."
There was some award show on TV recently....maybe the Emmys, I’m not sure, but it was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. A Freeper posted that Kimmel asked how many were going to vote for Romney, and half the audience of Hollywood people applauded and cheered.

They cheered twice, it seems. :::sigh:::
It would be the perfect time and place for a false flag attempted assassination, would even prevent Biden from debating and Obama would obviously be bedridden from his “injuries’.
I refuse to support the limousine liberals’ movies and music. They are dolts!
Uh-huh. The thankees had better hold on to their wallets.
Creative!
Thanks, Windflier....this touchpad gives me fits.
Only liberals would hold a “thank you” celebration that costs 25,000. After the first of the year I am getting a 4000 “thank you” from the IRS.
I'm just such an old dog, set in my ways. I like my desktop for computing and posting. Even if I had an I-pad, I probably wouldn't use it to post on FR. Won't use my smart phone that way either.
It's typical double-speak for them. They even think that way. How else can they remain liberals?
I don’t have a smartphone (and if I did, I wouldn’t want to post from it). We have a desktop, and my husband just bought this laptop because he wanted one with a DVD drive; they’re getting pretty rare. The touchpad is so sensitive, I double-post at times, and I don’t even know how it happens.
