The Obama White House: Bundlers' Paradise
by Michelle Malkin
Like Capt. Renault in "Casablanca," I am shocked, shocked to discover
that access peddling is going on in the Obama White House. Perks for
deep-pocketed donors? Presidential meetings for sale? The stale Chicago
odor of pay-for-play wafting from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue? Knock me
over with a feather.
Despite the president's claimed distaste for the campaign finance
practice known as "bundling" (rounding up aggregate contributions from
friends, business associates and employees), the House of Obama has
been a campaign finance bundlers' paradise from Day One. A new report
by Matthew Mosk of The Washington Times just confirms the
gob-smackingly obvious: It's business as usual in the era of Hope and
Change. O's wealthiest Democratic donors have received lavish
receptions, golf outings, bowling dates and movie nights with Obama.
And internal Democratic National Committee documents acquired
by the Times reveal that "high-dollar fundraisers have been promised
access to senior White House officials in exchange for pledges to
donate $30,400 personally or to bundle $300,000 in contributions ahead
of the 2010 midterm elections." Yup, they're just haggling over the
price.
