Barack Obama Fundraising 2012: President Attending Two Washington Fundraisers

(AP) WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama is attending two fundraisers for his Obama Victory Fund, part of a push to attract contributions to the Democratic National Committee and to his re-election campaign.

Obama is the featured attraction Monday at a dinner of Americans in Support of a Strong US-Israel Relationship. The DNC said the event is sold out, with about 80 people paying for tickets between $25,000 and $35,800.

The president also was attending a DNC Mid-Atlantic Finance Committee dinner. About 100 people were expected to attend, paying between $10,000 and $35,800.

The president has been featured at a string of recent fundraisers. He attended three in Miami and one in Puerto Rico last week. He heads for New York later this week where he will attend two more events with donors.

He seems to think that money will help him win in 2012. His actions are much more powerful than money. No amount of money can overcome his actions to weaken this country now and into the future. In 2008 he was an unknown. In just 2 years his record demonstrates his mis- understanding of what America is all about. He is a one term President.

He is out there selling jobs for his next admistration. Bundlers or donors need to raise $500,000 or more for his campaign fund to apply. Last election he gave out 200 administrave positions to bundler-donors, could be more this time.

Of course he is - is anyone suprised? After all the election is only almost a year and a half away. Why govern at this point - why start now?

Be honest with them and let them know that we are the "ONLY" country that backs them.

Yeah, he backs Israel because a) he wants the Jewish vote and b) if he starts any more wars he might need some black ops types to go into wherever it is the war is and gather a little intelligence - and who better than a ter ror ist state?
