*** begin quote ***
So far the president has attended a dozen fundraisers in six cities since announcing on April 14 his decision to seek reelection. Half have been events where tickets cost $35,800. DNC takes $30,800 of that; Obama’s campaign gets only $5,000.
Donors, generally, have been asked to purchase at least four tickets to high-dollar events such as these. Obama has also attended a number of fundraisers where tickets run $1,000. The president attended a two-tier event in Washington on Monday night, and he will be in Boston on Wednesday.

Ignore the headline story. Who cares. Dig deeper.
Simple question.
Why would some one give the DNC $143,200 for a rubber chicken dinner?
It’s corrupt quid pro quo.
