Obama’s Ascension Tickets Selling For $1,000 A Pop
When Obama flip-flopped on his decision to accept public campaign financing he said that his “grassroots” fund raising efforts were more true to the American spirit and more likely to change politics.
From the very beginning of this campaign, I have asked my supporters to avoid that kind of unregulated activity and join us in building a new kind of politics — and you have. I’m asking you to try to do something that’s never been done before. Declare our independence from a broken system, and run the type of campaign that reflects the grassroots values that have already changed our politics and brought us this far.
Just so you know, Obama’s fund raising efforts are changing politics so much that tickets to the Messiah’s ascension into heaven at Invesco Field are going for $1,000 apiece.
Barack Obama’s big-money donors are being offered premier seats to his acceptance speech at Invesco Field at Mile High, according to information obtained by The Denver Post.
Top fundraisers for the “Obama Victory Fund” were offered club-level seats through the end of Monday for $1,000 apiece. Also, the biggest donors to the Democratic National Convention’s host committee and select VIPs are getting ultra-plush suites at Invesco.
The Obama campaign and its partners at the Democratic National Convention Committee have 8,300 club-level seats. If all were purchased, it could mean a cash infusion of $8.3 million.
Also, if you want a luxury suite that’ll set you back a cool $1,000,000.
