Did you hear about the Democrat president who keeps claiming he's for the "little guy" and vows to protect them from those eeeeeeevil rich people?
The NY Times reports on Obama's latest little fundraiser:
Twenty-seven fund-raisers collected more than $500,000 each in contributions for President Obama and the Democratic Party in the past three months, helping Mr. Obama collect a record haul of campaign cash as he starts his re-election effort.
The list of Mr. Obama’s biggest bundlers, which was posted on the president’s campaign Web site on Friday, is filled with celebrities and the well-connected, like Jeffrey Katzenberg, the Hollywood mogul; Andy Spahn, a close friend and consultant to Steven Spielberg, the moviemaker; and Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue.
More than 200 other people scooped up tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars each in contributions for the president. Collectively, they raised at least $35 million for Mr. Obama and the Democratic National Committee, or about 40 percent of the $86 million he reported for the quarter.
For the "little guy" my @$$. Like most Democrat politicians, Obama is a Soviet-style crony capitalist: He claims to be for the "little guy" but is bolstered financially by the uber-rich who get their own "I'm better than everyone else" rewars in return.
Not amused by this blatant display of hypocrisy, Rick Moran at AT writes:
Obama is the candidate of the rich. Or at least, those rich people who have learned that supporting the president brings benefits like health care waivers for their companies, exemptions from regulations, and nice little perks like an overnighter at the White House.
