At a $40,000 per plate campaign dinner, President Obama challenged the rich and famous stars of the entertainment industry to “help me take back the country from the malefactors of great wealth that are opposing my quest for social justice.”
While the dinner itself raised a total of $2 million from the 50 celebrity attendees, the President cautioned them “not to think you’ve done enough here tonight. The money you are giving today is a drop-in-the-bucket compared with the vast wealth this country has bestowed upon you. For a cause this important we must hold nothing back. Consider it an investment in a better world.”
One of the things the President suggested they could do in addition to contributing “until it hurts,” was “to use your status as arbiters of American culture to guide voters toward the right way of thinking. You have ready access to the media. Any one of you can get an interview anytime you want. Don’t waste these opportunities by neglecting to remind your fans that if they want to make you happy they’ve got to vote Democrat.”
