Wall Street Donors Agree To Attend $35,800-Per-Person Fundraiser For Obama After Campaign Manager Assures Them Obama Will Stop Demonizing Them…
Why do I get the feeling he won’t be keeping that promise?
(Bloomberg) — President Barack Obama will return to New York on March 1 for a fundraiser with investment bankers and hedge fund managers, according to a campaign invitation, marking his first high dollar event there since calling for increased taxes on the wealthy in his 2013 budget.
Hosts of the fundraiser, including Ralph Schlosstein, chief executive officer at Evercore Partners Inc., and his wife, Jane Hartley, co-founder of the economic and political advisory firm Observatory Group LLC, were assured last week by Jim Messina, Obama’s campaign manager, that the president would not demonize Wall Street in his re-election.
The $35,800-per-person dinner at ABC Kitchen, the first of the evening’s four fund-raising events, is being hosted by many of Obama’s top Wall Street donors, according to a person familiar with the matter. Sponsors include Blair W. Effron, partner and co-founder of Centerview Partners LLP; Marc Lasry, managing partner and founder of Avenue Capital Group; Mark Gallogly, a managing principal of Centerbridge Partners; James Rubin, managing director of BC Partners; Robert Wolf, UBS AG’s chairman for the Americas; and Antonio Weiss, global head ofinvestment banking at Lazard Ltd.
Other co-hosts are not associated with the financial services industry, such as Tom Bernstein, president of Chelsea Piers LP; and Kevin Ryan; the chief executive officer of Gilt Groupe Inc.; and Sally Susman, an executive vice president of Pfizer Inc.

Campaign Manager Assures Them Obama Will Stop Demonizing Them…
=========================
yeah
until the check clears… then all bets are off
Why do I get the feelling that these people are too stupid to realize they’re being played? Makes a person want to wish them bankruptcy just to drive home the point that they’re paying to have themselves robbed. Fools.
Yeah, right! If they believe that, I got a nice bridge for sale, cheap! Morons!
How do these jerks get so wealthy? Blind luck, inheritance or 100% crookedness, or all of the above.
I also thought – “how can somene smart enough to get where they are be so stupid?” I decided they weren’t stupid and instead are cowards. Too afraid to stand up and would rather go the payoff route.
Look at the masocic hand sign he is giving to satan
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
The tequila (American spelling) moslim liar in chief.
I agree…yeah right!
@ThomNJ:
Yes, cowardice certainly plays a role, absolutely. Look at the the FBI story, how many of them are bureaucratic go alongs.
Sure, he’ll continue to bad mouth them, with the understanding with them that he’ll glad hand them later.
Please guys and gals. Pay big bucks to have dinner and then get your asses handed to you at a later date.
Anyone who would pay for this, obviously has not done their homework.
They might wanna cross-check the potential validity of a “promise” with Catholic Bishops and the stance on campaign finance and how well that whole administration transparency issue is working out. Just to name a few.
In related news, the “Attack Watch – Wall Street Version” site will be up and running soon. Excellent.
Bunch of saps.
Their stupidity tells me they are eminently qualified to run for Congress…. from either party.
These are the descendants of the Nobles who opened the gates in Rome to the barbarians because they were *promised* they would be spared.
At this point if Obama succeeds in rolling the Catholic Church the fundraiser invitations will read something like.
“We are holding a fundraiser.
Bring fifty thousand dollars with you.
We’d hate to see anything like what happened to the Catholics happen to you.
See you at the party.”
You know, I could never imagine even Nixon or Clinton running a protection racket from the Oval Office for campaign donations, but I have no problem at all believing it possible under Obama. Chicago politics is not something you can just unlearn.
What is the gang sign that pos is making?
They have no fucking principles. That’s why.
Money has taken away their ability to reason.
Suckers, If they give me the money, I will make sure it stops; wink wink
Wall Street Donors = Charlie Brown
Obama Campaign = Lucy
A nimrodian and his money as soon parted .. hopeing it will turn into a bribe and something will come of it ..
Matt 24:3-5…Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the (prime singular) sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered and said to them: “TAKE HEED THAT NO ONE DECEIVES YOU.” For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ (or of Christian faith, or smarter than Christ), and will deceive many…
Demonization waivers. Why not? Obama’s minions will hate who he tells them to hate. Logic need never come into it.
Suckers. Just ask the Catholics.
anyone who believes the brown turd and any of his liars thieves and whores is a fool he will take your money and fuck over you at his convenience. this is what islamic dictators do and the sura allows it so infidel take note you are just a useful idiot he can extort.
