During his first nine months in office, President Obama has quietly rewarded scores of top Democratic donors with VIP access to the White House, private briefings with administration advisers and invitations to important speeches and town-hall meetings.
High-dollar fundraisers have been promised access to senior White House officials in exchange for pledges to donate $30,400 personally or to bundle $300,000 in contributions ahead of the 2010 midterm elections, according to internal Democratic National Committee documents obtained by The Washington
Times.One top donor described in an interview with The Times being given a birthday visit to the Oval Office. Another was allowed use of a White House-complex bowling alley for his family. Bundlers closest to the president were invited to watch a movie in the red-walled theater in the basement of the presidential mansion.
Bowling for cash? Team 'O' glaring showing their lack of respect for both the office of the presidency and the White House itself. Surprising? A mockery not unsuspected if you read this blog.
And while we are on the subject, the Memeorandum thread also has an American Thinker piece up pertaining to the narcissism of 'O' and a NYT article re: the Fox New/WH war:
While most people are pretty hard to predict, extreme narcissists are comparatively simple. They constantly hunger for ego gratification, they are immature, constantly need to demonstrate their own superiority...According to the New York Times,
"Speaking privately at the White House on Monday with a group of columnists and commentators, including Rachel S. Maddow and Keith Olbermann of MSNBC and Maureen Dowd, Frank Rich and Bob Herbert of The New York Times, President Obama himself gave vent to sentiments about the (Fox) network, according to people briefed on the conversation... " (italics added).
What do you think about that? President Obama gave vent to frustrations about the Fox network. Repeat that. That is leadership, America? Remember those that big 'O' is finds amicable? A stalwart, principled and confident leader? Or as I alluded to with the Valerie Jarret piece: a WH of wild-eyed college students, MSNBC talking bobbleheads + radical elitist academics?
