The intimate dinner banked about $2 million, with 50 people paying $40,000 each. …
Speaking in a dimly lighted, art-filled room, Obama told supporters they would play a critical role in an election that would determine a vision for the nation’s future.
“You’re the tie-breaker,” he said. “You’re the ultimate arbiter of which direction this country goes.”
Among the celebrities on hand to hear Obama’s remarks were Oscar winner Meryl Streep, fashion designer Michael Kors and Vogue editor Anna Wintour…
The president and Mrs. Obama also headlined a second glitzy fundraiser in Manhattan Thursday night that included a performance from singer Mariah Carey and remarks by singer Alicia Keys. The 250-person dinner yielded the Obama campaign at least $2.5 million. (http://hotair.com/archives/2012/06/15/obama-to-celebrities-youre-the-ultimate-arbiter-of-this-countrys-direction/)
Is this the kind of people (the ultra 1%) that we want deciding what is good and right in America? Do these people reflect the values of America? They spend their time pretending to be who they are not. They are only influential because they are celebrities. Most of them know little about real life or real issues. The issues that they care about are not the ones that most Americans care about. Let them stick to movie making and stay out of politics.
Let's not let Obama reject what the majority of Americans want in favor of what the ultra 1% want. Don't forget who Obama's real friends are.
