#1 Obama seems to be able to identify the 1 percenters a lot easier than the Occubaggers.

#2 ..you'd think with all those pics of occupiers with laptops and smart phones, they'd be able to check those donor lists of the 1 percenters. Unless, they were, you know, the useful idiots in a grand astoturf production.

#3 This is how we got to where we are at, financial trouble wise: Pass up the sound investment in favor of the "attractive" investment...

#4 I thought it was illegal - or at least bad form to use the office of the President and it's benefits to campaign and fund raise. Did this change?

Once again the FEC will not look at foreign money contributions made to the re-election campaign of the first Anti-American President.

Why?

That never stopped Al Gore. Why should it stop Obama? After all, when your Attorney General is Eric Holder...

#7 Jerry Pournelle's take on this: Los Angeles braces for an imperial visit. The bards are preparing the panegyric. The police are turning out to barricade many citizens in their homes, lest they inconvenience the President or his 30 vehicle cavalcade of minions. The President will meet more or less exclusively with the 1% actually, given that its about $20,000 to attend his fund-raiser in Hancock Park, its more like the .01% before disrupting traffic at rush hours to go to Burbank where he will appear on a TV show directed at the 99%. He will probably make some kind of symbolic gesture of support to the OWS 99% denouncing the 1%, but not until his treasurer has made certain that the checks clear the bank. President Obamas cavalcade in Los Angeles may be a bit smaller than his Virginia-Caroline motorcade, so it probably wont be as big as Colonel Qaddafis last parade, but it will be big enough.
