I guess the cost of having the President’s ear for an hour in private comes at a premium price.
According to an article on CBS DC, some wealthy Obama supporters paid over $35,000 just to talk to him in a hotel room:
“On the same day a report revealed the names of a number oftop donors to presidential campaigns, President Barack Obama spent time with around 25 wealthy donors who paid $35,800 each to talk with him behind closed doors at a Washington hotel.
The hourlong fundraiser Friday afternoon at the upscale Jefferson Hotel near the White House was closed to press coverage.”
Funny….This sounds very similar to when lobbyists meet with the administration in DC hotel rooms.

Meanwhile, it’s being reported that Santorum didn’t gather enough signatures so he will not be on the ballot in Indiana.

What did these wealthy donors talk with him about?
If it was about how to get the country back on its feet without the socialist bent, then it was money wasted.

Were these “donors” part of the 99% or the 1%? Just curious.

I am going out on limb and saying officially, PRESIDENT? No president democrat or republican has gotten away with as much as Obama has without impeachment or the liberal being in full filibuster mode. If Bush did this it would be over in the press for him. The papers, T.V., internet, every liberal stations would be on this hard.
Again, his own persona and ego speaks for itself. Rush said that you will see the jobless numbers fail and the media will hold Obama up Higher than before. There will be great ratings and Obama will regain the presidency or so, they believe. We are seeing one of the most creative campaign in history, we are living in a time that sanity forgot. Our nation is Topsy turvy what was good once is now Democratic, what worked once is now Democratic. We are living in one of the most usual times where the nation has never been so divided and on a course where the more money you have the more you stand to gain, yet, Obama who speak of Class Warfare and how unfair this nation is has more money than ever.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Barack Hussein Obama, as we watch in amazement and he could be re-elected, people.

Barack Hussein Obama – the president who charges $35,800 at the first date.
Patty commented:
This is a fact for the political junkies out there. Obama is the Campaigner in Chief, undeniably.
If he had put this much work into what America really needs, he would be re-elected. Now, he will saturate all the airways, the net, interviews, more commentaries and more biographies of the man and his ever amazing life. Obama has Google and Facebook where he wants them. All the liberal outlets love him. Billion dollars he is able to raise for his celebrity style campaign and yet, losing billions and forces Americans to buy health care.
Energy failures and says no to XL pipeline but he continues to raise money and if re-elected he will continue his socialization of America.

Sounds like buying bastardized indulgences from the Devil.

Sounds more like the wedding scene at the beginning of the Godfather movie.
You know…. When the Don hears the needs and wants of his minions and tells them he might someday ask a favor in return.

The money they spent would be better served helping those in need.
Shame on each and every one of them.
If and when things make a turn for the worst, the poor would share their food with them. That’s what poor folks do!
What a waste of money.

Most frequently-asked question at the meetings:
“Mr. Obama, when can we get down to the business of filling prison camps and mass graves?”
You know that’s gotta be one of the most burning questions among these Mao-worshippers.
Those that have shown any dissatisfaction in his administration of the office, have only been pi$$ed that he’s not nearly as far to the left as they wanted him to be.
That leaves — really, when you think about it — only that last bit, the mass imprisonments and genocides of incorrectly-thinking American people.
Four more years? Mao and the students of China led by the educators (sound familiar?) only took 4 years, from 1958-1961, to kill 40,000,000 Chinese people.
Obama: “We can beat that record! Stick with me, fellow travellers!”

Change the $35,800 to $15,800, and it sounds like something Nixon would have done in 72.

Is he registered in DC as a lobbyist. If not, maybe the DOJ would like to investigate this meeting or maybe not.
