When the GOP set out removing President Obama from office, they knew it would be tough. The problem increases as the money tree keeps pouring down on the President. The added problem is the news that the influence that streams the money is turning up a notch. When you hear President Barack Obama has spent time with around 25 wealthy donors who paid $35,800 each to talk with him behind closed doors at a Washington hotel. Before we start filling this post with the easy shots about being a call girl, buying influence, shakedowns, and what goes on behind closed doors. The hour long fundraiser was held at the upscale Jefferson Hotel near the White House was closed to press coverage. If you do the math that is $900,000 for one hour of glad handing. When you can bring in that kind of money it can change minds, if you thought Mitt Romney carpet bombing Newt in Florida was bad this is real influence. The fight is up hill as President Obama has been courting donors large and small as his re-election campaign as he has raised more than $220 million for his re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee in 2011.
