Host: Obama raised $2.2M at Mass. fundraiser

BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — A former advertising executive who hosted a campaign fundraiser attended by President Barack Obama last night says it raised $2.2 million for Obama's re-election campaign and the Democratic Party.

Obama attended at dinner at the Brookline home of philanthropist Jack Connors.

Tickets for the dinner and an earlier fundraiser in Boston ranged from $200 to the legal maximum of $35,800.

Speaking at a reception for about 900 people at the Cyclorama at the Boston Center for the Arts, Obama mentioned Osama bin Laden, saying he will never again threaten the United States.

1. Good news for his re-election

He'll remain a centrist though, so we might as well accept that. He's getting money now based on what he's done so far.

He's still far and away better than Newt, Trump, Palin, and that poor specimen of humanity, Santorum.

3. Why do posters feel the need to post about Republicans

even when the thread has nothing to do with Republicans? Why?

8. Small side story that explains the comment - I think

The BH was outraged that they were excluded from the press pool because they had a page 1 Mitt Romney op-ed yesterday.

9. Some are more against than for.

It's easier. Dangerous, but easier.

by being excluded from Mr. Obama's visit. The Herald and Romney behaved like little babies.

There are few things I enjoy more that knowing they're upset.

5. That's a lot for one fundraiser, but isn't that a drop in the bucket compared to the billions

the republicans can get from businesses because of the SC ruling?
