Uncovered: Want to See the Guest List from Obama’s $35,800/Plate Dinner?

Blogger “Zombie” has struck again. Earlier this week, he uncovered some “phony populism” at a leftist rally. Today, he‘s uncovered the guest list from President Obama’s closed-door $35,800/plate fundraising dinner.

The names are not necessarily shocking. But the fact that a blogger was able to snap pictures of the list will surely satisfy the curiosity of those wanting an insider glance.

Zombie writes:

Craig Newmark, Cissie Swig, Steve Westly and will.i.am each happily dropped $35,800 to dine with President Obama at billionaire Marc Benioff’s San Francisco home Wednesday evening. These are just some of the 85 famous names on the fundraiser’s guest list which was plainly visible to rubberneckers as attendees checked in. Combined, Obama’s take for the 90-minute event was a cool $3 million — or $3,043,000 to be exact (85 guests x $35,800 each).

This is some of what he snapped:

      I’m not sure, but I don’t think political contributions are taxable to the recipient. If they are, Obozo will simply decide to ignore that portion of the law, as he has hand picked which other laws he will obey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey Joe,
    He doesn’t hate the rich, it’s just a pose he uses to inflame the dumb-masses. He surrounds himself with the rich, elitist “ruling class”. He couldn’t care less for middle class or lower income Americans. He’s no different from any communist leader who poses as one of the “people”. He and his friends live in palaces and dictate to the poor how much they will pay for goods and services all the while feigning empathy for the under class. It’s a very old story rapped in “Hope and Change”.

No, they’d rather instead not give a dime to those “dirty homeless cretins”, in fact, I strongly doubt they’ve encountered such a “low life” face to face once in the last twenty years.
