First Wookie Flying to Aspen for Fundraising

Aspen is money for Obama
First Lady plannning 81611 fundraising soirée next week

By Troy Hooper
Real Aspen – July 19, 2011

Crown raised between $50,000 and $100,000 in May and June for Obama and he is among a list of more than 270 key fundraisers that the president's campaign named on Friday afternoon. Crown was the co-chair of Obama's Illinois fundraising effort in 2008. Another Chicago business executive with strong Aspen ties to make the list is Penny Pritzker, who served as finance chair for then-Sen. Barack Obama's 2008 bid. She helped bring in between $100,000-$200,000 for the 2012 campaign.

Everyone on the list brought in at least $50,000 for Obama's reelection bid and joint Obama for America-Democratic National Committee victory fund with 31 people raising more than $500,000 including Hollywood producer Jeffrey Katzenberg, Vogue Editor Anna Wintour, Salesforce.com Chairman and CEO Marc Benioff and Miami financial author Andrew Tobias. Colorado contributors include David Friedman of Longmont who raised between $100,000 and $200,000, and Tina Walls of Denver and David Kenney of Denver who, like Crown, made the $50,0000-$100,000 club.

This is, so far, the only comment at the end of the article and poster nails it!

See now, when Obama repeatedly states that he will go after the jet set millionaires and billionaires, this is precisely what he is talking about….

Aspen, Hollywood, Martha’s Vineyard…he and MO will root them out alright…for campaign contributions.
 

But it's ever so much easier to blame the Republicans for being partial to "jetsetters".
When are people going to wake up to the fact that they are continually allowing themselves to be manipulated by Obama, his merry band of idiots, and MSM?  :banghead:

There are planes that can carry army tanks....Not so glamorous, but the military is prepared for that extra-wide load.

Get up from your computer, go into the nearest bathroom, walk to the sink and look into the mirror hanging above the sink.  The face looking back at you is one of the people paying for this.

Is it 2012 yet?
