Obama Charging $35,800 Per Couple To Attend His 50th Birthday Party…
So much for the Marxist struggle against the bourgeois class.
(Chicago Sun-Times) — President Obama returns to Chicago on Aug. 3 to mark his 50th birthday with fund-raisers at the Aragon Ballroom, with tickets ranging from $50 a person to $35,800 per couple, which includes VIP seating at a “Birthday Concert” where celebs will be performing and a dinner with the president.
The fundraiser at the Aragon, the historic ballroom in Uptown, will be one of the biggest third quarter events, expected to draw in national supporters. Obama’s 50th birthday is Aug. 4.
The Obama team on Wednesday reported collecting more than $86 million in second quarter fund-raising over $47 million directly for the Obama 2012 campaign and more than $38 million for the Democratic National Committee. . . .
Obama’s birthday bash at the Aragon was first reported by the Chicago Sun-Times Stella Foster.
The event is multi-tiered: There is a concert at 4 p.m. — Foster said songstress Jennifer Hudson may perform — for the basic $50 contribution, of which there is supposed to be “limited availability.”
For $10,000, a person gets a souvenir photo with Obama at a reception and preferred seating at the concert. For $1,000 a person gets seated in a “premium section” with a “hosted bar.” A general admission ticket is $200.

It’s the Chicago Way!
Modeled after the Clintoon Crime Team ~
pretty crappy investment
That’s enough reason by itself to let the debt limit talks run past August 2nd.
$35,800?!
Hell, you can come to mine for half that!
Its the key reason he wants it done by the 2nd so her can strut around and party without having to think about “work”
“barry’s 50th birthday is August 4.”
Isn’t that 2 days AFTER the world as we know it ends, thanks to the “childishness” of the nasty Republicans?
All this cross-country campaign travel that we get to pay for got me wondering…does Air Force 1 have the same problem with flies that Obama’s campaign jet had or does the Secret Service hang No-Pest strips?
A bargain at any price. Now bow your heads!!
OsamaHusseinIslamObama 2012′ (WTF)
(the terrorist-Uighur-ACORN-media choice)
-It’s never too early to campaign-
I need four more years of this shit.
“Obama’s 50th birthday is Aug. 4.”
Prove it.
May he choke on his cake.
SkySphere….LMAO!
More grist for the grifter.
Now you know why he demanded that the debt ceiling talks be resolved by August 2nd. He has another lavish Obamafest Partay to attend on August 3rd.
Looks like another Nero-opportunity…
GOP Debt Ceiling Ace in the Hole: Obama’s Birthday Bash

Oh boy, this is going to look bad.
The Republicans may not realize it, but they have an extra point of leverage in the debt ceiling talks: Barack Obama’s birthday.
It’s on Aug. 4. The president is turning 50. He’s decided to have a quiet celebration with family and a few close friends.
NOT.
Instead, the president is planning an extravagant fundraising bash Aug. 3 at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, including a birthday concert teeming with celebrities and – for couples contributing $35,800 – a private dinner with the president. All this just one day after the government is scheduled to run out of cash!
Undoubtably, the sight of so much money getting thrown around and dissolute stars crooning to Obama will make a stirring contrast with a federal government bankruptcy featuring unpaid government workers, seniors and soldiers wondering how they’ll afford the groceries, shuttered national parks, and angry investors trying to cash out their Treasury Bills.

you couldn’t PAY ME 38,500 to be in the same STATE as this garbage
Damn my Birthday was yesterday. I didn’t even think of charging to see me.. Need to work on that for next year I guess.
Lets hope no one shows up. that’s the only Birthday gift America should give him.
How much you guess want to bet the fucker gives a speech somewhere so he can claim work related expense?
What are the odds that drunken Rutgers professerette will tell these people how ashamed they should be for spending $38,500 a meal while people are starving?
These marxists are the new bourgeoisie!! They are narrow-minded, love money, are mean, selfish, snobbish and fascistic!!
Hear hear, Jingo!!
There is no argument about whether the Won is a whore; now it is just about determining the price for whatever level of quid pro quo the johns want………….
OK. Now where’s the bitch who got in Paul Ryan’s face about the wine he was drinking?
Where’s her complaints now?
After having lied about his own mother’s death, about his uncle having liberated Auschwitz, and about Israel coming into being because of the Holocaust at his much ballyhooed Cairo speech – not to mention the thing Muslims having invented algebra and so on and so forth, isn’t it becoming rather painfully clear that this man is about as dumb as friggin fencepost and doesn’t know his tuchus from a hole in the wall? Hell, I bet he doesn’t even know what the hell is going on in the country, much less care. He and his wife just keep on being lavished with praise and dough courtesy of their handlers who put them where they are…
Of course, just sayin’ is all ya know.
I wouldn’t spend 1 cent!
The Aragon is in a REALLY crappy part of town, there are loads of gangbangers, crackheads, and typical obummer voters overrunning the streets. At night, one would have to be insane to go there!
With all the “flash mobs” strong arm robberies going on around here lately, wouldn’t it be poetic justice if this happened when they got out of there. It’s RIGHT UNDER the red line train, that takes the vermin back to the REALLY REALLY crap parts of the city!
I’m sure tiny ballerina will waste more tax money, and have loads of cops there to stand guard.
Moochele needs some new belts.
@ Uncle Baruch
How could you!? barry is the smartest man in any room, a man with a gift, a man who is going to stop the rise of the oceans and heal the planet, a man who will bring peace to the MidEast and ensure the Arabs’ undying love of the US, a man with a Nobel Peace Prize who is practicing hard for his debut on the PGA. How could you say such mean things about barry, who is so smart he is completely bored by us peons, who are intellectually incapable of understanding his great brilliance. barry, a man with a spine of steel and a mind like a steel trap.
People…..PEOPLE!……is this any way to behave on Obamadan?
Where is that damn prayer rug???
Great night for a drone strike to go off course. Listening CIA?????????
WHAT THE FUCKITY FUCK!!!!!!!!!
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!
IT WAS WTHFK’S BIRTHDAY YESTERDAY AND NO ONE TOLD ME??????
Happy Birthday sweetheart.
As for dumbo,Im with SkySphere.
We dont know HOW old he,she,it is
Birthday greetings as well to whthfk, which if I’m not mistaken is pronounced wu-thu-FUK…
The immaculate being ages? I thought he was shat out by divine providence to save the unwashed masses.
Wonder how much Jennifer Hudson has to pay to sing.
Im not going im going to a bluegrass festival at our city park and the bluegrass tickets are not too expensive, But i,ll bet ALEC BALDWIN,PAMELA ANDERSON and many other liberals are invited
I don’t know, for $38,500 I might consider going to Barry’s birthday party.
Oh. He wants ME to pay HIM?
Forget it, then.
My wife and I will be glad to attend Obama’s 50th birthday party. All we need is for him to pay us the $38,500.00
To paraphrase an old poster/bumper sticker, what if they gave a birthday party and nobody came?
millionaires and billionaires, private corporate jets?
That is rich.
For some reason, I get the feeling the $38,500/plate tab is going to ultimately be paid by the taxpayers – us. Hell, we’ve been paying for his lifestyle for the past two years.
Actually he should be paying people to come see him, i for one cant stand the site of him, he and the rest are destroying the country and people are like, isnt he wonderful, oh mr. president your so eloquent, jackass thats what you are!
