Surprise! Obama Doesn’t Mention Tax Hikes On Rich . . . At $38,500 Per Person Fundraiser…
Via Weekly Standard:
According to the Wall Street Journal, “Tickets to Monday’s [fundraising] dinner were $35,800 per person, with $5,000 going to the Obama campaign and the rest going to the Democratic National Committee. That’s the maximum contribution allowed by law.”
So it’s no wonder the president didn’t mention his plan to hike taxes on the rich!
Hours after delivering a White House speech that called on wealthy Americans to pay higher taxes, President Barack Obama dined with some of these very Americans in New York. He was expected to raise more than $2 million for his reelection campaign.
He didn’t mention his plan to tax the rich, at least not in front of reporters.
Instead, the president seemed to think he was speaking to “ordinary folks,” according to Politico.

……and payed for with money stolen from the US taxpayer under the now infamous ‘Stimulus’ scam.

In terms of d-bags, O’bummer could put out forest fires..
lol, he has to give a cut to the DNC? Crime syndicate.
“Despite the well-heeled nature of the audience, Obama suggested at one point that the group was intimately familiar with the devastation caused by the economic downturn.”
“A lot of people in this room have seen directly the damage that’s been done by this recession,” the president said. “Ordinary folks have been hurting badly,”
So, in Obama’s world, “ordinary folks” are the ones who can afford to attend a $35,800 PER PERSON fundraiser? They are the ones who are intimately seeing the effects of this recession?
They should start putting a picture of this man in Webster’s next to the definitions of unhinged and detached.
Of course because this assclown is convinced that the rich don’t care if he taxes them….
Damn, those people are stupid.
His re-election chances are dropping everyday.
I guess they just don’t need the cash.
When do those lists of donors come out? I can’t wait to see who and how much. The list for this little ditty ‘dinner’ would be enough.
Well, duh, he’s not going to raise taxes on these very people until AFTER he is re-elected! And he assumes they are stupid like the rest of us…..
