Obama: Not "Selling Out" but "Buying In"

Sucking up more than spare change in San Francisco. Ah, the man of the people strikes again! Zombietime tracked down one of Obama's megamoney honey pots, brings in the pixels, and does the accounting:

If you do the math, on just this one day in the Bay Area, Obama went to four events, three of which had $2,300 minimum donations per ticket, and the other $1,000 minimum per ticket. Each of the events, from the various descriptions, held as many as 400 people (the Getty mansion has a ballroom that reportedly seats at least 300). 400 x $2,300 = $920,000 per event, times three events = $2.76 million, plus the other event, which undoubtedly puts him over $3 million in contributions for this one day alone. And who knows how many other similar days he schedules in other parts of the country.

Michelle Obama (and other Obama campaign spokespeople) aren't telling the truth. It seems that a signficant portion of Obama's monthly campaign contributions are coming from "large donors"' -- i.e. rich people, not just the "$20 to $50" donations they're constantly bragging about. -- Obama Visits Billionaires Row

Remember when raising large amounts of money was something that only evil Republicans did well? Doncha like that its now something good because Democrats do it well?

The income disparity between the Hollywood star or mogul and the gaffer or best boy has never been greater. The price of entertainment continues to skyrocket. We must end the practice of paying these outrageous salaries to movie stars, while the production crew receives union scale.

I was listening to some pundit on the radio yesterday. He was babbling about how great it is that He Who Must Not Be Middle Named was collecting millions of dollars in unmarked tens and twenties from los pobres de la tierra.

Zombie has shown that said pundit is just making it up as he goes along. Clearly, Zombie is the only reporter in Northern California, or maybe the entire USA, who is worth a plugged nickel.

200 layoffs is merely the down stroke.
