Of course the Campaigner-in-Chief is not working on jobs, the economy, cleaning up BP oil spill, 3 wars, securing the US Southern border. Nope, just raise that money so his big-ego and empty suite can get re-elected and finish destroying the country.

"Sticker shock" for Obama's pricey April SF fundraiser -- $35,800 PER PERSON? : SFGate: Politics Blog

Quote:
Obama supporters acknowledge that the $35,800 per person San Francisco Obama Victory Fund dinner may represent a new pricetag high for political fundraising. After all, loyal Dems thought the ceiling was reached last Oct. 21, when tickets to that Obama dinner in the Palo Alto home of Google executive Marissa Mayer hit an astonishing $30,800 per person.

Yes, "there's a little bit of sticker shock,'' one Dem told us this week.

Oh for christ's sake... he has worked on all of the above but to criticize him for raising funds when faced with the amount of money that will be potentially raised by the Republicans because of the Citizens United ruling is just plain BS.

What a crock! And I'm trying to be restrained with this post...

General Electric will support Barack.

Oh, yeah, they don't pay taxes. That looks good for BO since Immelt is his jobs advisor.


Give who a break?

So GE has publicly said that they support Obama? Have anything to back that up?

You think that Obama changed the tax code to let GE off the hook? Wonder how he did that?

General Electric contributes big money to both Democrats and Republicans. They don't care who wins - they still come out winners.
