MSNBC's Chuck Todd criticized Monday the new fundraising efforts of President Obama's dark money group, Organizing for Action, calling a scheme for high donors to meet regularly with Obama "the definition of selling access."
Todd was describing the quarterly meetings that will be enjoyed by OFA's $500,000 donors, the New York Times reported over the weekend:
>But those contributions will also translate into access, according to donors courted by the president's aides. Next month, Organizing for Action will hold a "founders summit" at a hotel near the White House, where donors paying $50,000 each will mingle with Mr. Obama's former campaign manager, Jim Messina, and Mr. Carson, who previously led the White House Office of Public Engagement.

Giving or raising $500,000 or more puts donors on a national advisory board for Mr. Obama's group and the privilege of attending quarterly meetings with the president, along with other meetings at the White House. Moreover, the new cash demands on Mr. Obama's top donors and bundlers come as many of them are angling for appointments to administration jobs or ambassadorships.

"This just looks bad–it looks like the White House is selling access," Todd said Monday. "It's the definition of selling access. If you believe money has a strangle hold over the entire political system this is ceding the moral high ground."

The perk was first reported by the Los Angeles Times earlier in February after a meeting between OFA leadership and top Los Angeles and Bay Area fundraisers for Obama's reelection campaign.

OFA is a tax-exempt 501(c)(4) and therefore not required to disclose the identities of its donors, nor the amounts they give. In addition to major campaign donors, the organization's leadership has been courting corporate donors.

[me]

I can hardly wait to hear the justification for this one.  How 'bout you HH? 

[followsthewolf]

Don't care.

[Palehorse]

Even this is a waste of my limited allotment of time on this planet. . .

[Henry Hawk]

So, it is just discuss items that glorify the democrats and bash republicans.......is THAT what I am hearing?

You have no input on this issue, that Obama is being severly hypocritical and selling OUR White House and His Title for profit?

It is just a waste of time?  You "don't care"?

It seems as if EVERY time, I have FACTS and INTERESTING information that is indicative of this POTUS........it is just a "waste of time" or you begin to name call or wish something BAD to happen to me.

I get it!

I do not know what you are hearing. Those voices in your head are in your head, not mine.

You have made it painfully clear that anyones input that doesn't nest nicely with your world view is nothing but lies, spin, and flat out bullcrap. So why bother. You will not let little things like validated and empirical evidence stand in your way, so why should I waste a nano-second attempting to enlighten you or point them out to you?

It is just a waste of time?  You "don't care"?

Attempting to engage you (and some others here) within a constructive dialog is indeed a waste of time. And yes, I don't care anymore.

Seriously? The victim card? How droll. . .

I get it! 

No you clearly do not. But feel free to continue believing so. 

[Palehorse]

That goes for you too. -----------------^

Nice way to avoid discussing the issue.

  I think it is just great, tremendous, overpowering.  The Democrats are starting to fight just like the Republicans are.  The Republican controlled Supreme Court started this and the fight is on.   

  The damn Republicans are trying to fix and corrupt the Electrial College, they are trying to suppress the black, brown and old vote.  So they can completely control the American government and the American people.    The Republican Party and the people who support it can go straight to HELL.   

  I want to bury the god damn Republican Party.    The largest group of thieves, conman, liars, adulterers and sons of bitches in the world.  everyone of them.  For they are out to destroy free America and turn it in to a country that is totally controlled by the super rich and the corporations.
