Obama holds $35,000-a-plate Fundraiser

President Obama held a $35,000-a-plate fundraiser Friday night, gearing up already for his 2012 Presidential run.  Several movie stars were in attendance.  So, if I may...

First, does it disturb anyone else that, instead of, you know, being President, Mr. Obama is chatting it up with Tom Hanks?  With Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, the economy, unemployment, the deficit, the debt, and so on and so forth, it should be pretty alarming that the most important thing the President can think to do is go to Facebook and have dinner.

Second, looks like the President has finally focused on something:  getting reelected.  Sure, he blew $787,000,000,000 on an unsuccessful "stimulus" package (and then blamed Republicans for spending), but Mr. Obama is really concentrating now.  You see, normally if you do a bad job and then don't even bother doing it for a year and a half, you get fired.  Since President Obama has never had a real job (adjunct college professor *snicker*), he must think that it is all right to shirk your duties.  It is not.
Mr. Obama
Third, instead of having his rich compatriots waste money on him, why not take that $35,000 per plate and hire a person?  For $35,000.  For an entire year.  And more, dozens if not hundreds were in attendance.  Take that money and create multiple jobs instead of spending it to try and keep one.

Sigh.

    IF you have to raise over a Billion Dollars to try and fool the people into reelection you, that might be a hint that you're a massive failure.

    Who are these people that can afford to pay $35,000 per plate per person to raise money for President Obama? Why do they want him re-elected? How are they benefitted. Is it legal to charge that much to raise money to elect someone? Who put together the invite list? It would be interesting to see the guest list published!

    I think we citizens can safely say we have had enough and demand the list then do as the peasants did at Versillies , take back DC by any means necessary!

    People... Romney is doing the same thing. it's what politicians HAVE TO DO (incumbant or not), in order to genuinely compete in any election. Instead of bitching about how much BOTH of them are raising/doing for their campaign, why not write a blog on campaign reform. Because yes, what BOTH of them are doing is COMPLETELY legal!!!!!

    You have to be kidding me, this is the worst article I have ever read. Campaign fund-raisers are necessary to campaign....otherwise we wouldn't have a president because nobody would have enough money to get their face out there. Except of course the richest Americans, which would result in disproportional representation for the 1%
