... Get a quarterly meeting with President Obama! Oh, the hypocrisy, considering he hates Super PACs. How that little dweeb Jay Carney ducks this question is great, too. Worst fucking President ever.
Over the weekend, the New York Times reported that donating $500,000 to the group Organizing for Action will get one quarterly meetings with President Barack Obama. "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," reported the Times.
Today, Jay Carney was unable to defend this arrangement at the White House press briefing, implausibly stating that the Obama group is somehow not related to Obama:
The group, Organizing for Action, grew out of the campaign that helped Obama get elected in 2008 and then reelected in 2012.
After a few minutes, Carney just hurries away from the podium, even as reporters still question him.
