Buffett to headline blockbuster Obama Chicago fundraiser
By: Steven R. Strahler September 21, 2011
(Crain's) — Billionaire investor Warren Buffett is coming to Chicago to help raise money for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign at a $35,800-per-ticket fundraiser next month at the North Shore home of investment banker Byron Trott, according to a draft invitation.
The Oct. 27 event will be co-hosted by James Crown, Penny Pritzker, John Rogers Jr. and other major local donors who fueled Mr. Obama's first presidential campaign and are lining up to back him again. Mr. Obama is not expected to attend, according to Mr. Rogers, chairman of Ariel Investments LLC. Neither the Obama campaign nor Mr. Trott's spokeswoman had any immediate comment.
Mr. Buffett is doing the same honors for the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee later this month in New York, where he is the draw for a reception and dinner with tickets ranging from $10,000 to $35,800. Each event is expected to be moderated by Austan Goolsbee, a University of Chicago law professor and former chairman of the White House's Council of Economic Advisers in the Obama administration.

Your cellmate’s penis will be this long.
"Oooooh!"
Buffett is making me sick. I can't stand watching the news. It's bad enough just reading it.
Follow the money.
“In exchange for the Buffett brand name and $5 billion, the Charlotte, N.C. financial institution granted Warren Buffett the option to buy up to 700 million of its shares any time in the next 10 years for $7.14. Yesterday those warrants would’ve reaped the Omaha investor a nine-figure profit.”

Now Moody’s action -
“Did last summer’s financial regulation bill work to end the too big to fail problem after all? By looking at the downgrade news out of Moody’s, you might think so. The firm has cut ratings of three major banks: Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo. Although the particular downgrades differed by bank, Moody’s rationale was the same for all three: it sees a government rescue of these banks as a little bit less probable. “
....
“So the decision was in large part due to the simple fact that Moody’s doesn’t see the U.S. on the brink of financial crisis any longer. As a result, if one of these firms were to fail, then the government is probably in a better position to let that happen.”

Got to keep the WH to get his money out.
Rahm Emmanuel, the “Mayor”/enforcer of Chicago will also be there to threaten to “Burn down your house if you don’t donate to the reelection of Imam Obama.”
Obambi’s done what no president has ever done before: turn Buffett into a buffoon.

I suspect The Oral-acle always was one, he is just being exposed.
With the miserable world economy, he now needs even MORE of a government-provided inside track to maintain his empire.
I mean, he’s been skilled at recognizing and purchasing ALREADY successful businesses, but could he even run a successful lemonade stand subject to the unrelenting rigor of the free market?
Senile old b-stard to help his friend Obozo at Chicago fundraiser. Event to be held in a sewer.
Notice how Bozo always holds his chin whilst chatting with ‘dignitaries?’
They are both egomaniacs....brothers in love with themselves.
Buffett sees nothing outside of the interior of Obama’s colon.
Got to keep the WH to get his money out.
No fool like an old fool.
The economy is sliding down a gentle slope. If Buffet can keep the GUMMINT guessing that he is on their side, Berk-Hath can always ask for a bail-out when TSHTF.
Too big to fail and all that...
