On April 6, 2008, Barack Obama visited the San Francisco region, zipping from event to event all day long, from one end of the Bay Area to the other.
What? you might ask. How did I miss that? If only I had known, I would have gone to see him.
Well, there's a reason you didn't know about it. Obama didn't want you to know about it. Because the events he was attending weren't for people like you.
They were for people with lots and lots of money, who use that money to gain access and influence with politicians -- especially politicians who might become president.
So although the San Francisco Bay Area is probably the most pro-Obama section of the entire country, with Obama signs and stickers visible everywhere you turn, when Obama himself actually visited his electoral home base, he ignored the hoi polloi -- all the little people who swoon over him -- and instead, he spent the entire day with the rich. According to local gossip columnist Leah Garchik: In the Haight, stencils of Barack Obama's smiling face are decorating the sidewalk. But in real life, he is turning up in more lucrative venues: The candidate will be around here on April 6, at a series of events that includes three $2,300-a-head maximum-strength fundraisers: Sara and Sohaib Abbasi are throwing a luncheon in Atherton; he'll zip up to Nancy and Bob Farese's house in Kentfield in mid-afternoon; and proceed from there to Ann and Gordon Getty's in San Francisco.

Elitist Liberal Snobs
I used to live in San Francisco. They look like monied, wealthy liberals who live in Pacific Heights.
San Francisco is a beautiful city, to bad it has so many anti-American types living there.

“Iowa City 1968-72.”
You poor guy! You probably suffered lung damage from all the American flags that were burned there at that time!
Why are their eyes blacked out? (no pun intended)

“Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers” needs an update. Where’s Tom Wolfe?
Some lung affliction but not from flag burning...
