Last week, Obama headlined a $32,000-a-plate fundraiser at the $26 million Greenwich, Conn., estate of a real estate mogul. During that dinner I noticed an email from Obama in my inbox warning me that “If Republicans win, we know who they’ll be fighting for. Once again, the interests of billionaires will come before the needs of the middle class.” This is double minded thinking. Obama and the democrats ARE the party of the rich.
Obama has played this populist game unceasingly since he began his
presidential run in 2007. He spoke as if he were being outspent while
demolishing John McCain in fundraising. He declared war on lobbyists
before hiring more than 100 of them and recruiting many as his top
fundraisers. His top adviser at the White House — millionaire Valerie
Jarrett — proclaimed that their administration was busy “speaking truth
to power.” . . . Just not the Democrat power
The richest county in America, according to IRS data on mean household income, is Teton County, Wyo., home of Jackson Hole. It’s the only Wyoming county Obama won in 2012. And Obama won it big — by 12 points, while losing the rest of the state by more than 40 points.
Seven of the 10 richest counties in America voted for Obama, from Manhattan to Marin. Three sparsely populated counties in Texas made the top 10, and all three voted for Mitt Romney. . . .
Here’s another measure: Ten members of Congress have a net worth more than $40 million — and seven of them are Democrats.
While the people of Northern Virginia get rich off of stimulus, and the people of Greenwich bank their bailouts and government loan guarantees, they can sleep well at night knowing they contributed to Obama. They may still be rich, but they’re different rich.
The biggest benefactors to and from Obama are the big banks in New York. We are being held in the grip of very rich liberals. How's that going so far?
