RSSObama To Appear At $28,500 Per Plate Dinner
J.J. Jackson* | September 17, 2008
Obama, despite claiming he actually understands working folks and claiming that our economy sucks, has enough time on his own plate to make an appearance among the effete snobs in Hollywood who are going to drop $28,500 a plate for gourmet food at fundraisers for the candidate.
Barack Obama has planned appearances at back-to-back Beverly Hills fundraisers Tuesday evening, with the events on track to raise more than $9 million combined, possibly breaking the single-day fundraising record.
Fundraising “records” are difficult to verify, given the nature of campaign bookkeeping, in which bills are recorded by date paid, not the date expenses were incurred. Much of the money raised at Tuesday’s twin events — a dinner reception at a historic estate, followed by a concert starring headliner Barbra Streisand — will go directly to the Democratic National Committee, while other dollars will be funneled into Obama’s own campaign coffers.
The first event will cost $28,500 per person for dinner at the Greystone Estate. Upwards of 250 high rollers — including some of the biggest executives in film, television and music — will munch gourmet chow and get to hang out with the candidate, enjoying a little face time and posing for personal pictures. A few spaces are left but the event is expected to sell out by Monday afternoon, possibly bringing in more than $8 million before expenses are subtracted.
And this bozo has the gall to call McCain out of touch?
Gee, $28,500 a plate huh? Must be nice to hobnob with people that have that kind of disposable income to throw around while at the same people you claim to care so much about those of us who are being taxed up the ying yang and are watching as government regulation and interference spends those tax dollars to bail out failing government entities like Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae while those that ran the companies into the ground get to walk huh? Oh, but Enron was evil right? They had to be strung up right? But not these FOCs (Friends of Congress) and the Congressmen who caused this mess by screwing around with the economy beyond their constitutional authority to do so right?
Obama – the choice of rich, Hollywood types everywhere. Wonder if Lindsay Lohan will be in attendance?
More on that bimbo later!

[...] like Obama and Biden should lead that charge and be more patriotic than us since they can sell plates of food for $28,500. I wonder how much patriotism can $9,000,000 [...]
