You got these $10,000-a-plate dinners and Golden Circles Clubs. I think when the average voter looks at that, they rightly feel they’re locked out of the process. They can’t attend a $10,000 breakfast and they know that those who can are going to get the kind of access they can’t imagine — 1996

My Take – What a difference 16 years makes.  When our consulate in Benghazi was burning and the blood of our ambassador was not yet dry on the street he was dragged down, Mr. Obama was off to Las Vegas to attend a fundraiser put on by rich entertainers.  I’m sure the tickets to the event weren’t free.  Mr. Obama, along with his frenemy Bill Clinton, are the most aggressive political fundraisers I have ever seen.  The swag sold on his campaign’s website is breathtaking in both variety and price.  Heck, he even tried to convince young brides to donate the money they would normally spend on their wedding to his campaign.  Look up “chutzpah” in the dictionary, and the graphic he used in that ad campaign ought to be there. 

What’s next?  “Hey, there, young student!  Don’t you think that money you borrowed to get your education would be put to a better use in the President Obama’s war chest?  He’s the only thing standing between you and the gutter, you know.”?  Or maybe “Hey there, senior citizen!  That money you saved and all that Social Security cash you earned over the past few decades really isn’t yours, now is it?  Just sign over that check to our dear leader, President Obama.  He’s going to make sure those young people who make too much money don’t push you over a cliff onto an ice flow.”.

You know, I better stop before I start giving someone ideas.
