WASHINGTON (AP) — Organizing for Action, a group formed to back President Barack Obama's agenda, has fired one of its fundraisers and acknowledged falling short of its standards as questions were raised Friday about whether the group solicited donations in exchange for access to Obama or White House officials.

Samantha Maltzman, a longtime Democratic fundraiser, has been forced to resign after emails surfaced between her and Dr. Munr Kazmir, a major donor, inviting him to a dinner with Obama and listing prices to attend. The emails conflicted with OFA's longstanding assertion that its supporters don't have to pay a set price to attend its summits with the president.

Nothing anyone that's paying attention didn't already know but will be completely ignored in the United States media.  :thatsright:

Preferably in unmarked, non-sequential $100 bills.

This from the pres__ent who accepted donations from foreign sources, contrary to federal law.

Then again, the law means nothing to this administration unless it suits them.
