Lincoln Bedroom Guests Gave $5.4 Million
WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, Feb. 26 [1997]) — President Bill Clinton’s guests in the Lincoln Bedroom gave a total of at least $5.4 million to the Democratic National Committee during 1995 and 1996, according to a study for CNN by the Campaign Study Group.
Among the biggest donors were investor Dirk Ziff, who gave $411,000; movie producer Steven Spielberg, $336,000; retired businessman William Rollnick, $235,000; and Hollywood mogul Lew Wasserman, $225,000.
The CNN study found 24 overnight White House guests who gave $100,000 or more to the DNC. CNN’s $5.4 million figure does not include money given to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, or any state party committees.

On Tuesday, the Clinton White House released the names of 800-plus people who stayed overnight in the Lincoln Bedroom, and the president defended the practice of inviting friends and supporters to stay overnight.

In other words: the Clintons used your property (the White House) as a way of raising campaign cash.
Thanks for the reminder, Ben.
And, yes, Cats, those 2 were actually jumping on the bed in the Lincoln Bedroom. Perfect example of the total contempt the left has for our nation and our tradition.
