The Hill:

Tickets for the first fundraiser featuring President Obama are making hotcake sales look slow by comparison.

A source at the Democratic National Committee tells The Hill that $100 tickets for the March 25 event at the Warner Theater in Washington sold out in just 30 minutes, a pace so fast that the DNC is considering boosting the number of $1,000 tickets available to the public.

When it come to my President, I would give him my last meal ticket, for the Republicants have ruin this country and now they are trying to blame our President. No way I'm going sit and not participate, for many of us worked our @ss off during the election.

I am with you 1088. This man is worth giving up a lot for. He's giving up a lot himself. He puts his life on the line everyday as there are so many nutjobs out there ready to take him out.

I love our Prez

This sucks, I only live an hour away and would def have bought a ticket.

Nothing on the DNC website, and no emails, I was a big donor, what gives?

And if the DNC is cash strapped, then for god's sake reach out to your base.

Bush did it, and his fundraising was historic, that is until Obama came in and crushed any notion of that.

No, what sucks is driving 3 hours to Charlotte, NC and having 28,000 people show up, and you leave not being able to see Obama because there were too many dang trees in the way.

Ouch, that sucks, and Im sure there wasn't much to do between where you came from and Charlotte. I live in Baltimore, so for me I could get to most parts of NJ and southern new york in that time, philly in 2 hours.

Who was the email from?

I am not sure if I am on the the DNC list persea, I did donate to them indirectly through Obama after the election.
Plus I figured that Obama combined his mailing list with theirs.

Thanks for any info.

Here's what gives: Two days ago you were posting about how you're not going to open your wallet because Rahm hadn't reached out to the base. I guess Rahm read your post and decided not to bother with people who expect him to pucker up!

Man, it's tough having a tantrum if nobody cares!

I am not having an easy time financially, nor was I during the campaign, but I sacrificed other things to find the resources to support Obama then, and I would find a way to support him now. I love my president, not in a fan club way, but because I have never been so impressed by a leader that started out trying to help the financially destitute on the south side, and was ingenious enough to see the path he had to take to make REAL changes.

Hey lorla. I commend you. I gave more money than I could afford to Obama too but I looked at it as an investment into the future - not so much for mine as I am getting up there but for generations to come. He is a real decent human being and he knows what he's doing. What we have to do is filter out the b/s coming from MSM because you know they are going to criticize him at every turn.
