Obama’s Top Campaign Bundlers Among State Dinner Guests




The Camerons and The Obamas arrive for State Dinner
More than three dozen of President Obama’s top re-election campaign financiers are guests at tonight’s White House state dinner in honor of British Prime Minister David Cameron.

They include Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, media mogul Fred Eychaner, Pfizer executive Sally Susman, Stoneyfield Farms president and CEO Gary Hirschberg, and Microsoft executives Suzi Levine and John Frank. Several have each raised more than half a million dollars for 2012, according to estimates provided by Obama’s campaign.

All told, 41 of the 364 expected attendees are Obama campaign bundlers, or volunteer fundraisers who give the legal maximum and then gather checks from friends and colleagues who do the same.

The group attending the dinner tonight is responsible for at least $10.7 million of the roughly $250 million Obama and Democrats have amassed for the election cycle so far.

It’s not the first time Obama’s campaign donors have been spotted at a White House state dinner. In October, at least half a dozen attended the evening in honor of South Korean President Lee Myung-bak.

The Jewish Vote
Charges of dual loyalty have dogged American Jews since at least the 1868 president election, as historian Jonathan Sarna explains in his new book.

Seems the druggie busdriver from Sheffield isnt too liked by the EDL.

They keep him at arms length.

Uses name truth at last on VNN spouting pro-griffin bollox still.

His greatest feats being to threaten a female moderator on STORMFRONT and slag off a dead British soldier who served lots in Ulster. Howard just spouts pro-ulster crap when he is drunk.

Keep well away from pro-griffin gobshoits.

I'm surprised. I would have thought he would be very welcome in the EDL. Dave's pro-Israeli credentials are second to none.
