Obama Picks Fundraising Over Tact

Its all about the money!

File this one under the priorities category. As everyone who is not currently living with their parents is aware, the economy is not doing so hot. One of the hardest hit states is California. The Governator is trying sell everything to assist in balancing the budget. So, a visit by the President would be a very nice thing. You know, uplifting, encouraging, a great way to make money..what? (From NBC Los Angeles.com) :

President Barack Obama visited Beverly Hills Wednesday for a Democratic National Committee event that was expected to raise between $3 million and $4 million because of a hefty $30,400 price tag….Tickets to the reception at the Beverly Hilton, which featured performances Jennifer Hudson and Earth, Wind and Fire and the president. went for a base price of $1,000, VIP seats went for $2,500, according to Hari Sevugan, the national press secretary for the Democratic National Committee.
Admission to what was described as a separate “dinner and discussion” cost $30,400 per couple, which matches the maximum yearly individual contribution to a national committee under federal law.

When they are about to close all of the California State Parks, the freaking parks, your timing I would say could not be worse.
Great timing Barry. How much money did it cost us to get you there?
