...Obama used fundraisers on Wednesday to assuage supporters' concerns about a transnational oil pipeline and his commitment to tackling climate change, while urging them to drive Republicans out of power in Congress in 2014...
That fundraiser, a cocktail reception priced at $5,000 a person, was held at the home of Kat Taylor and her husband, billionaire former asset manager Tom Steyer, an ardent opponent of the [Keystone Pipeline]...
"My intention here is to try to get as much done with the Republican Party over the next two years as I can, ‘cause we can't have perpetual campaigns," he said.

Meanwhile, the NORKs are threatening America, Syrians are using chemical weapons, poverty is reaching levels seen in the 1960s, and gas prices are still about 90% higher than when he seized power five years ago.
And the clown is fundraising.
Less important issues, like the fate of the country, have to wait or Michelle might lose her national pride again.
Just fiddling while America burns....
Why is billionaire Tom Steyer an “ardent opponent” of the pipeline (and America’s energy independence)? Does he have a personal financial interest in blocking the popeline? (Liberals usually do...)
Obama wants a perpetual dictatorship.
Like any muslim.
The Current Regime is the very NAME of the “perpetual campaign”. They have never stopped campaigning long enough to actually govern, to make the hard decisions of what has to be done to assure that there is sufficient structure left by 2016 to even call the territory once known as “the United States of America” a viable nation. We shall soon be about as viable as Zimbabwe, and as economically firm as Haiti.
There has been set forth a mandate upon the individual states to create an “insurance exchange” for the administration of the fraudulently named “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2011”, which is an impossible burden to fund even on an inadequate level, much less administer the delivery of the services claimed for it.
There is analogous situation in the distribution of water in many Western states, called “water rights”. Each municipality and all industrial and agricultural enterprises are assigned a specific number of just how many units of water they are allowed to take from the flow of the available supply of water, and the penalties for exceeding that specified amount allowed are ruinously high. But the situation which often prevails, and has been the level for many years on end, is that there simply is not enough water available to meet the allotted minimum for each individual recipient. These water rights are bought and sold, separate from the other bundle of rights that apply to a particular individual water recipient, and are often much more valuable than the market value of the piece of property to which the rights were originally attached. As a result, many stretches of land what were once green and fertile have become desertified, and what what was once a lake has become a dust bowl, the largest of which is the Great Salt Lake Desert. Even the water that remains is so saline that it is nearly sterile of life.
Like the water that is so scarce in these arid lands, the supply of actual wealth to supply the medical services that have been enshrined as a “right” to each individual is simply not available to meet the demand. The artificial pumping up the supply of dollars to meet the resulting demand is analogous to sending saline water out to satisfy the water allotments of each of the individual recipients.
What is need in each instance is to increase the supply of the component which goes to nourish and sustain the vitality of the proposed distribution. In the case of the water supplies of the Western states, it to assure the desalination of the supply of water as it passes through each user’s control, and to take measures to create new sources of the substance of pure water to begin with. This may include huge desalination plants set up on the edges of the oceans and sending the water inland with huge pipelines.
In the case of the supply of sufficient funds to properly support the delivery of medical services, the economy from which the supply of wealth is derived must also have a flow of exchange of wealth free from criminal taints (saline water), and the creation of vast sources of new wealth, mostly by the conversion of energy sources into consumption goods (the desalination and distribution of water from the ocean to end users).
Neither of which is considered a priority by the Current Regime.
The only thing the Current Regime has in truly excess supply is plenty of blame, none of which they accept as their own.
“And the clown is fundraising.”
That, with campaigning and teleprompter reading is ALL he knows how to do!
Oh, I forgot. Lavish parties and vacations, lots of golf, and generally living like aristocracy are unique skills he has as well.
Will we ever awake from this national nightmare?
Why is billionaire Tom Steyer an “ardent opponent”
You left out the “former asset manager” part, you know, Wall Street, 1%. I suppose he is doing his pentance for looting the economy by making all of us pay $20/gal for gas.
Hw many square feet of house(s) do Kat and Tom occupy, heat and cool? How many miles of luxury travel do they enjoy every month? What is the “carbon footprint” of these “lucky” rich people?
$5000 drinks at their house for a buncha brain dead richies who think obama is a smart guy because he is the cleanest most articulate black man they know (awesome Muffie! will ya look at that) ....
all to save the planet from affordable energy for the little people. as obama jets back to DC on his personal flying pimpmobile, Air Force One
we are awed
not
How about "Getty" as in "Getty Oil?"
The man's hypocrisy knows no limits.

money is power and the Tm Steyers of the world use their money to buy power
narcissism
perfect FOO
Obama is a serial lying fraud.
Good analogy....you ought to spread that as a lesson....youtube it or something....
Another imbecilic low-founder-information nutjob. The House needs to be and should be the most “perpetual campaignish” part of the federal govt by design. It’s all part of checks and balances inherent in our republic. Contrast that with the Sinate, with classes and 6-year staggared terms where they have respites between campaigns. The executive somewhere in-between.
If the House was not as “perpetual campaignish” as it is, then there would by definition be MORE tyranny and despotism, as the house closest to The People became ever more distant.
Right ... to take the place of campaigning.
For Liberals, THAT’S preferable to actual citizen participation in the choice of leaders. ‘We can’t leave something as important as leadership of the US in the hands of the morons we have socially and educationally indoctrinated from the cradle! And besides, those dam^% Conservatives simply WILL NOT get with the program!! (sarc)
Yup- Perpetual dictatorship will remove all those messy details.
Can’t have perpetual campaigns? Then how does he explain how his campaign organization has transformed into Organizing for Apotheosis? (or something like that)
I can't believe he said that at a fund-raiser five months after what is supposed to be his final election.
The only way to eliminate campaigns is to eliminate elections.
