Barack Obama For Sale: 50% Off

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 09/15/2011 17:06 -0400

The following email intercept from a senior Managing Director of Obama bastion Evercore (Roger Altman: nuf said), explains all there is to know about the Obama presidency, but it does not explain why Groupon still does not have a "meet your president, half off price" coupon yet. Anyway, we'll got and report ourselves to @AttackWatch immediately as this is obviously a non-subversive counter-disinformation campaign.

Hi there - fundraising this quarter has been a struggle (as you can imagine give all the negative stuff around the President) - they are offering a one off opportunity to attend this small dinner on Monday for $25k instead of the full max out of $38.5k, or a couple at $38.5k instead of $77k. Just wanted to offer that in case you're interested!

Dear XXXXXX,

I'm co-hosting a small dinner with President Barack Obama at the Park Avenue home of Jane Hartley and Evercore CEO Ralph Schlosstein on Monday September 19th at 5:30pm. Evercore Chairman and former Assistant Treasury Secretary Roger Altman is also a co-host. Many other senior Wall Street individuals will be attending.

This will be an intimate dinner with the opportunity to spend quality time with the President in a private home. Given the current Republican field, it is more imperative than ever that we re-elect President Obama and I hope you can join us on September 19th.

You can RSVP to me directly or here: http://my.barackobama.com/nycsmalldinnersep19?custom1=4394989

$35,800 per person / $71,600 per couple

May I get a back/corner with a TV-tray for $1.00 and I will brown bag it? It will give me the opportunity between the meal and dessert to stand up and shout as I exit, "Produce a valid Birth Certificate or get the hell back to Kenya!" Okay, I will go as high as five bucks.

"$35,800 per person / $71,600 per couple"

Please tell me this is written in European style, where the commas are really decimals.

The hosts are Crony Capitalist Wall Street/Government "Servants" to the core, of course:

Evercore Partners (EVR) President and CEO Ralph Schlosstein and wife Jane Hartley, co-founder of the Observatory Group, an economic and political advisory firm. Prior to entering the private sector and running the New York City-based investment bank, Schlosstein served in the public sector for many years. In the mid-1970s, he was an economist for the Congressional Joint Committee and then went on to work in the Carter Administration – first as deputy to the assistant secretary of the Treasury Department and later as associate director of the White House Domestic Policy staff.

Ahhh, the ol' revolving door running as smoothly as ever

Thu, 09/15/2011 - 17:53 | 1675020 New_Meat

And Schlostein was, y'know an on and off y'know item with a certain well y'know Camelot-ian y'know who had y'know political aspirations for the y'know NY Senate y'know seat that her elder relative had y'know held for y'know a while.

Vote for the topcallingtroll by voting up on his green arrow. Vote down if you want a douchebag instead. See how easy it is? At least on ZH your vote will count.

At my church, Baptist denomination, i often volonteer to clean the church after Sunday services & you would not believe the fried chick'aan bones i pick up off the floor between the pews. The black church folk sure love to eat fried chicken during a Sunday service between an Amen they munch at their chicken.

Perry's carrying....and will take 20+ states out of the US if Zero wins. Since Civil War is the only way we can get rid of the current Regime, that's quite a difference. Of course if Perry wins, yeah, probably same old.

Supporters like you are the reason I'm here, and the values we share have always made our organization more than just a political campaign.

So whenever I can, I want to take the opportunity to meet you. Last month, that meant I got to talk to folks in Iowa about small-business opportunities, and sit down with a group of volunteers from around the country who helped build this campaign in their communities this summer.

Today, I want to ask if you'll join me and three other supporters for a meal and conversation sometime soon.

Please donate $5 or more to be automatically entered for a chance to join me for dinner."
