Film-maker Jeffrey Katzenberg, the DreamWorks Animation chief whom Mr. Clooney credited with organizing the fund-raising dinner, said the event raised nearly $15 million, setting a record for a presidential election fund-raiser. Roughly half came from the donors, the rest from an Obama campaign sweepstakes online for small contributors, two of whom were picked to attend the event at Mr. Clooney’s."
The Washington Post: "The Biden comments clearly disrupted Obama’s plans, so much so that the vice president apologized to him in the Oval Office on Wednesday morning, according to White House officials — a rare public admission of a vice president overstepping his bounds. Obama said he understood, that Biden had spoken from the heart, according to the officials. The political benefits from the timing of Obama’s reversal were clear — he needed to alter a story line that was painting him as indecisive and calculating. And the announcement has spurred gay donors to give even more to Obama’s reelection campaign. But the conversion also followed years of private and public pressure on Obama, sometimes involving uncomfortable exchanges in which people spoke passionately for gay rights and the president responded by invoking the civil rights movement and rarely ceding ground."

This article will make the tea people Koch republicans heads explode.
Obama's poll numbers are getting worse and worse .... "LOL"
Friday, May 11, 2012
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows MittRomney earning 50% of the vote and President Obama attracting 43% support. Four percent (4%) would vote for a third party candidate, while another three percent (3%) are undecided ....
All American's should be happy with this great news so early in the race ....
There's a big difference between Hollywood and union support for Dems versus Wall Street and Big Oil/Big Business support for the GOP/TP. Hollywood does not expect anything in return for their campaign contributions, and unions only want to preserve good paying jobs in this country. But you can bet Wall Street, Big Oil, etc. expect a return for their donations -- subsidies, deregulation, tax breaks, you name it, they'll get it from Teapublicans.
FOXmussen again?! Stop trolling ben, and get some sun!
No problem here. The left just keeps on digging their hole deeper and deeper.
Actually GermanGem us Liberals are trying to dig the tea people Koch republicans out of their hole, but they just keep digging deeper. See you tea people Koch republicans always look at things the wrong way.
We look at things from the right side. Liberals look at things from the wrong (left) side.
Mo is like a broken record with this Koch thing.
rukidding - no we look at things correctly - you look at them from the far, far, far right - it's called extreme!
What a clown our President is...epic failure. Vote the bum out!
Fools and their money are soon departed.
Oh, I don`t want Romney to win. I plan to vote Dem all down the ballot. But this country has survived wars rumors of wars, depresions,recessions, and the spanish flu. We even survivied Nixon. We had four presidents shot, four others die in office, and one resigned to avoid impeachment. Our wars and military actions have killed and maimed well over a million personnel. This country is not a helpless giant. If we decline to some degree and have to simply take our place with the rest of the world`s nations, it isn`t such a bad thing. Noone needs to always be number one. I have rarely ever finished first in anything and I have lived 80 years. We vote the way we do because that is what we prefer. We need to quit thinking that we are trying to save the world or even the country. Let`s be realistic and just vote for the one we like best and let be what will be.

OBAMA'S COLLEGE CLASSMATE SPEAKS OUT
By Wayne Allyn Root
Barack Hussein Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent.
To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing.
He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. Economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos �
thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.
Barack Hussien Obama was my college classmate.
( Columbia University , class of '83).
He is a devout Muslim; do not be fooled. Look at his Czars... Anti-business� anti-American.
As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Hussien Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University ... They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands.
Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival... And can be counted on to always vote for even bigger government.
Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
Universal health care!
The health care bill had very little to do with health care.
It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers,
as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions).
Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt.
What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government.
Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
Cap and trade!
Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming.
It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors.
Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power.
The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."
Make Puerto Rico a state. Why?
Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression?
Certainly not American taxpayers! But this has been Barack Hussien Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressmen and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
(This will tip the balance of those living off the government to more than those who must pay for it; and we're done for)
Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants.
Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America .
But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government.
Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security...
(see note above re: Puerto Rico )
Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go?
It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country.
It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues.
It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions).
A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues).
All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America ....
The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful.
The ends justify the means.
Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama).
Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government.
Barack Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.
With the acts outlined above, Barack Hussien Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.
Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme �
all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Hussien Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan...
Last point: think about what this designed 'rule of the rabble' will do to anyone successful�and everyone receiving this is. What will your lives be like under communism? The time to fight this abomination is now�I hope each of you will forward to at least a dozen people.
