Obama hits Chicago Wednesday for DNC fundraisers
Chicago- Sun Times ^ | Fri, 03/28/2014 - 4:14pm | Lynn Sweet

President Barack Obama hits Chicago on Wednesday for two jumbo priced fundraisers to benefit the Democratic National Committee.

Obama hosts a roundtable—I am told keyed towards business executives—at the Chicago Cut Steakhouse downtown where about 25 folks are expected; the tab is up to $32,400. The Obama roundtable is hosted by Mesirow Financial Chairman and CEO Richard Price.

Obama is no ordinary weakling

Author unknown

Those who compare the bare-chested conqueror of the Crimea with the metro-sexual ruler of the United States and find our emperor weak to the point of deserving ridicule miss the essential strength of president Obama.

It’s no ordinary weakling who can turn a once respected country into an international joke; reduce Congress to a gaggle of sniveling sycophants; turn the world’s finest medical system into a failed third rate socialist nightmare with a stroke of hi pen; shatter our constitution without the attempted recourse by the sons and daughters of frontiers men and pioneers whose blood was used to write that inspired document; and turn the people of our once- united states into a herd of competing minorities who, like suckling pigs, are afraid to lose his place on the government teat should he raise his voice to protest the ruin of our country.

So don’t denigrate the nonentity ruler who has overcome his uncertain ancestry and ludicrous incompetence to do what no other king or dictator has been able to do in our 237-year history; He has destroyed America.

We need all the names of those who attend. Could be some interesting stuff to come out of these “selfies”.

Son of a bitch. I've been sitting at home the last 6 weeks recovering from a broken elbow, and I finally go back to work Monday only have to deal with the Federale's all over the Loop for this stupid lunch? Just dammit, I picked the wrong week to go back to work.

“The Obama roundtable is hosted by Mesirow Financial Chairman and CEO Richard Price.”

Wait, wait a minute. All the rich folks are Republican, remember? In particular those that head large corporations. /s

In reality, Dems are either the very rich, or the very poor (who aren’t really poor after all the handouts). Plus most minorities and immigrants. Republicans are predominantly Main Street, small businesses, the self employed, military members, social traditionalists, in other words, the backbone of our society, most of the middle class. And it is in the middle class that money is to be found by slimy politicians, primarily Dems, and in particular this President and his thug regime. That same middle class that is being destroyed by our commie/primarily fascist President.

Destroy the middle class, turn them into the poor, and then they become compliant as they too depend on the largess of a centralized gov’t and its handouts. Commonly known as communism and/or fascism. The middle class is what most dictators try to destroy first. See Venezuela for an example.

The very rich are difficult to truly harm as they will still have money and/or will hide it offshore or elsewhere; the poor get the handouts and are politically untouchable; the middle class gets raped again and again with impunity by this Prez and his ilk. All while he covers up his attacks on the middle class by maintaining how concerned he is with helping them (while the stiletto goes in the middle class back). There are too few rich to finance gov’t programs. The money is to be found in the broad middle class.

Obama is back in town (Chicago) for his latest shakedown of corporate chieftains. Give me money so I don’t sic one of my regulatory agencies on you or my unjust Justice Dept, or one of my other vicious tools, like the IRS. You don’t pay up, you’ll regret it. And they would suffer, and they know it.

Ask Jamie Diamond, head of JP Morgan Chase. He knows it all too well as Chase got it in the jugular when Diamond made some unkind remarks about Obamanomics. Obama had his Justice Dept. (Eric Holder) go after Chase and take millions in trumped up fines from them, and has totally neutered Diamond from saying anything ever again about Obama and his regime as long as he or another Dem Prez is in office. Obama/Holder is doing this by still holding out the possibility of criminal charges over Diamond’s head. That is the fate of those that don’t “contribute” to Obama’s fundraising events.

As to your entire comment, well said, bravo, well said. Enjoyed every delicious morsel that you stated so eloquently. A master of words and how to use them.

Just reread your comment for the sheer pleasure of it and saw that you put “author unknown” at the top of the comment. Perhaps I have directed my praise for wordsmithing to the wrong person, and it should really be directed to “author unknown”. Even if it wasn’t you, I thank you for posting it anyway as it is such a good read.

Does anyone know how many times the Obamas have stayed overnight at their Chicago home since he has become president. Is it even kept livable for them?

Mesirow Financial Chairman and CEO Richard Price.” You would think at this point the GOP would have an investigative arm looking into this man and his company, taking names and numbers but they’re to busy trying to draft Jeb Bush

CRUMBS FROM THE TABLE....FROM THE BOOK OF MATTHEW

I hope some Chicagoland freepers folks will unearth the names of the Chicago corporate, business and social leaders attending the two fundraisers....especially the names and connections of the 25 elite anti-American Chicagoans eagerly coughing up $32 grand each to sit at the destructive right hand of their false idol.....

.....and then please publish the guest list here on FR.

After the sumptuous feasts, will the servants sweep the crumbs off the banquet tables and the floors for distribution to the local poor and hungry?

Leni

It’s probably being rented to some big party mover or it could also have been sold by a land contract.

Well, I suppose somebody has to pony up some pretty hefty cash to pay the huge bills Moochelle is running up on her endless lavish vacations. These millionaire donors and influence buyers are footing the bills for her and her royal entourages of relatives and toadies,... right? Right!!??

Oh, never mind. Just toss her receipts in the pot and include them in the rake from April 15th....
