Obama Takes a Break From The $38K-Per-Plate Fundraisers To Dine With Campaign Contest Winners…
Or as Obama calls them, the little people.
(ABC News) — President Obama is having dinner tonight with four donors who won the “Dinner with Barack” campaign contest. The previously undisclosed location was just revealed to be the Liberty Tavern in Clarendon, Va.
The four winners, who were flown to D.C. by the campaign, were Ken Knight, a U.S. postal worker from Chandler, Ariz.; Juanita Martinez, a retired teacher from Brighton, Colo.; Casey Helbling, a small business owner from Minneapolis and Wendi Smith, a retired professor from Corydon, Indiana.
The campaign encouraged supporters to donate $5 or more for the chance to have dinner with the president, but it is unknown how much the four winners donated.
The opportunity also to have dinner with Vice President Joe Biden was originally part of the contest, but Biden was unable to make it tonight. He is in Saudi Arabia on a diplomatic mission.

It looks like for $5, you don’t get any actual food with your dinner. You get wine glasses, but no wine! If I was having dinner with barry, I would need a whole case of wine!
I bet those useful idiots donated more than $5 to schmooze with Obama.
Why are their glasses empty?????? I’d be drunk as a skunk if I had to meet with Teh Won…..
sounds about right 3 out of 4 are sucking on the taxpayer teet. the “small business owner” probabally runs some government subsidsed sham.
Anyone want to google these people and do research on them?
My guess is that they all have ties to the communist party or Democratic Socialists. Or Soros.
Go for it.
Do you have to pay extra for the barf bags?
Why is Joe in Saudi Arabia? Is that the farthest they could get him away from DC?
but Biden was unable to make it tonight. He is in Saudi Arabia on a diplomatic mission.
Oh dear God, that’s scary.
So is Drew on suicide watch now? After all those begging emails from the mocha messiah and the mooch, he probably thought he was in with a chance to dine with them.
“Obama Takes a Break From The $38K-Per-Plate Fundraisers To Dine With Campaign Contest Winners…”
If these people are eating with Obummer, wouldn’t they be the contest losers?
First prize was dinner with Zero.
Second place winners got two dinners.
>you don’t get any actual food with your dinner.
They were waiting for a table…
Why does he take them to such a chintzy place? What happened to the top of the line, four star restaurants where dinner costs $500 which he and Michelle frequent when they go out?
Oh that’s right, these people are just peons, not royalty like the Obamas.

I did some research on Casey Helbling. He’s a big time progressive. His business website is filled with progressive nonsense, such as:
“Clear subscribes to the Triple Bottom Line business model: people, planet, profit. We feel that the needs of our business overlaps the needs of our environment and society. Basically, if our people aren’t happy and healthy, and our planet isn’t able to sustain our people, then our business will eventually become unsustainable as well.”
“Honest Profit. We recognize that a business must be profitable in order to remain viable, but Clear feels that profit made in harmony with People and Planet is so much more rewarding. We don’t work to line our pockets.”
“Natural Capital. Our efforts to reduce our ecological impact are ongoing and growing. We’re passionate about all things local, sustainable and environmentally responsible. When the goals of a business align with the needs of the planet, everybody wins.”
I dont like to dine with trolls they have no manners
Wonder how long they held that ‘we are having a discussion’ pose…
Maybe “people of little brain”; if I had to sit in front of him listening to his garbage I’d throw up!!
These people were hand picked for this photo op.
Where is the representative of the African Americans?? RACIST MUCH? No diversity here. No where in sight. Maybe they won’t part with the 5 bucks to re-elect this man who has done NOTHING for them.
I can tell who the liberal is in the bunch (even though they all are).
The gray haired lib professor in the middle is willing to get down on her knees for this slob
