President Barack Obama chided the Republican Party for catering to the 'interests of billionaires' in an email to supporters on Tuesday, then attended a series of high-dollar fundraisers, including one at real estate mogul Rich Richman's house.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee fundraiser at Richman's house in Greenwich, Connecticut, cost as much as $32,400 a person, according to the White House.
The other two events, held in New York and sponsored by the Democratic National Committee, cost between $1,000 and $32,400 to attend.

Both sides are hypocrites.

Oh definitely...just cuz I've been attacking Dems for the most part since I started here does not in any way mean I don't have more than enough to unload on the GOP.

I loathe them both...

LOL. Rich Richman. That's too funny. Only a liberal could attend a fundraiser at the mansion of a billionaire named Rich Richman, and use it as a platform to denounce wealth in favor of the common man. What a flaming hypocrite.
 
You know, if I was a Obama supporter I would be pretty pissed.

What an insult to my intelligence.

But then agian, I would be a Obama supporter.......I probably wouldn't pick up on the blatant hypocrisy of this event.
 
LOS ANGELES (AP) – President Barack Obama is on a three-day fundraising swing through California and what he says at some of his stops will be anybody’s guess. Two of the four events he’s attending in Los Angeles and San Francisco are closed-door. No media allowed in.

HOW MUCH MONEY DID HE RAISE

We don’t know because Democratic officials refuse to say. They also give such broad ranges for ticket prices to fundraisers that it makes precise calculations impossible. For example, tickets to the Paltrow reception started at $1,000, while the price of admission to a dinner was a minimum of $15,000, party officials said. That suggests that some supporters could have paid higher amounts to get into either event. They also don’t release the number of people who paid a particular price for tickets.

Two of his four California events are closed-door “roundtables,” meaning the media are completely barred from attending. The only people who will know who said what will be the president himself and the people in the room with him. About half of the fundraisers Obama headlined since July were “closed press,” according to an analysis by the nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation, which pushes for open and accountable government. Events Friday in Los Angeles and Saturday in San Francisco are “closed press.” But reporters are not barred from all of Obama’s fundraisers. They are allowed in to private homes, such as Paltrow’s, when he makes formal remarks, but are then ushered out when it’s time for Obama to begin answering questions from his supporters.....snip~

Obama To Swing By California In Fundraising Tour « CBS Sacramento


Imagine that.....since July most of his fundraisers have been closed door. Then the Demos don't want to talk about how much people are paying to talk with BO. For some 15k for a dinner plate. :shock:

That best be all you can eat.....Just sayin. :lol:

Oh and whats with the BS about the Democrats refuse to say.....whats up with that. Think there is a way to make some Democrats talk? What, reporters forget about hounding and pointing out some facts to the Demos? I would have made one of them talk.

This thread perfectly demonstrates the typical conservative’s inability to properly process information. Lets sum up the thread

President Obama says GOP “caters to the interests of billionaires”
President Obama takes money from billionaires
that magically makes him a hypocrite.
Cons flock to thread to obediently agree

See how the conservative brain so easily interprets “GOP caters to the interests of billionaires”” as “I hate billionaires” and thus they are all aghast that President Obama takes money from billionaires . And notice they don’t even to explain their “interpretation.” They all understand perfectly and obediently. I guess when hate is such a large part of their agenda they just assume its part of everybody’s agenda. And notice they don’t dispute that “GOP caters to the interests of billionaires.”

Now I interpret “GOP caters to the interests of billionaires”” as “GOP caters to the interests of billionaires.” Seems straightforward to me. I know its futile to ask but can someone try to explain the hypocrisy.

I didn't get the sense from anyone who posted in this thread that they believe that Obama hates billionaires. In fact, the sense I get is that people believe that Obama LOVES billionaires and he is being a hypocrite. It is not at all a subtle distinction but I'm still not surprised that you didn't get it.

You first re your post. Brevity wouldn't hurt.
Something like ... "Just because Obama takes money from Billionaires doesn't mean he does their bidding like Republicans do."
Like that.
You can work in that hate thing on a different post.

Yes. Yes he is. Sadly, our president is an asshole - an intensely partisan asshole in spite of his promises not to be partisan or an asshole. Just can't help himself, I guess.
