Barack Obama is not the financial draw he used to be; a fundraiser he is hosting at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City on Tuesday is asking attendees for only half of what they had to pay for a similar event two years ago at the same venue.
In 2011, the event required a $10,000 donation for a single individual to attend, but on Tuesday, that number has been cut to $5,000–and that can cover the cost for an entire family.
One source attested, “He’s clearly not a cash cow (anymore)… He’s made his appointments overseas, the secretary positions. That’s what it is. Those high echelon jobs are gone.”
Nobody should be surprised but him and the First Wookie. Their massive egos may blind them,but the plain facts are the billionaire globalists they have been fronting for no longer have any reason to be slipping him any cash because he's a lame duck,and the "free cellphone" crowd that is his voter base would have to sell their whole stash to come up with a downpayment on 5 grand,and not a co-signer in sight.
He's played the race card so much since he's been in office that all the speaking events that are gravy to people like Bubba and even Boy Jorge just ain't going to be there for him once he's out of office.
Wookie is going to be steamed when she can't get a private government jet to fly off to Paris to go shopping.
Yeah,the NAACP and BET might keep slipping him a sack full of cash for a while because he's half-black,but when they realize they aren't going to profit from it they are going to drop him and start looking out for themselves.
