So why do you suppose it is that I would have now taken it upon myself to institute my own little personal boycott regarding going to see movies made in Hollywood these days? Well, first and foremost is the whole notion that I just don't see why it is that I should, courtesy of ever-escalating ticket prices, partake in what is essentially nothing more than money laundering regarding funds going to Democrat politicians. I pay huge ticket prices so that folks like Tom Hanks, Matt Damon and the like, can then fork over ridiculously exorbitant amounts of money, money that comes from the movies that we see, to leftist politicians like Barry. Such was the case just this week where individuals such as Will Smith, Melanie Griffith along with hubby Antonio Banderas forked over big bucks for the privilege of nothing more than an opportunity to dine with Barry "Almighty." Barry knows where the money is, as well as where the leftist mentality is the most pervasive, and he has now waded well into the domain inhabited by this self-absorbed crowd of phonies, most of which barely made it through high school. So on Monday of this week he struck out on a California fundraising circuit in one of his busiest, and most lucrative, donor outreach trips to date. Smith, together with others in attendance, all gathered at the home of producer James Lassiter and his wife, Mai. About 40 contributors, including actress Hilary Duff, contributed $35,800 each for a cozy little dinner and a chance to chat with the president. Barry, ever the narcissist and very comfortable in the company of fellow narcissists, was eager to reinvigorate his supporters, ticking off what he sees as being his administration’s accomplishments.
This little Lassiter dinner get together, and a larger affair at the home of Griffith and Banderas that followed, was all part of a three-day expedition through fundraising-rich Nevada, California and Colorado for the purpose of mining as much in the way campaign contributions as possible. California, that haven for left wing lunatics, is his biggest donor state and Barry was able to raise about $1 million in the Los Angeles area alone during the past two fundraising quarters, at least according to an Associated Press review of contributions above $200. And in what has to considered, at least by any sane person, as being a laughable attempt to pay homage to Barry "Almighty," it was at Banderas‘ and Griffith’s house, that the entrance path was lined with rose petals and votive candles. It was also while there that Barry told about 120 mostly Latino contributors that he has kept a list of his campaign promises and that, at least by his count, he has accomplished about 60 percent of them. “I’m pretty confident we can get the other 40 percent done in the next five years,” he said to loud applause. The Griffith-Banderas event was the first Latino fundraiser for Barry’s candidacy, with donors coughing up at least $5,000 per person to attend the gathering of elites. It featured such guests as actress Eva Longoria, George Lopez, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, and mayors Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles and Julian Castro of San Antonio. All well to do Hispanics who must possess very little love for this country if they are in favor of allowing those who are here illegally, to remain here. And yet, they expect the rest of us to continue to fork over our hard earned money, in such a way that allows them to then support politicians such as Barry.
Now I'm pretty sure that it can go without saying that it was from this Hispanic crowd that Barry drew the loudest applause when he vowed to tackle an overhaul of immigration laws, a promise from back in 2008 that has gone unfulfilled in the face of Republican opposition. Continuing to test what I'm sure will be a recurring re-election theme, Barry is also telling donors that the country is suffering from an economic crisis and political crisis. Of course, he neglected to mention the fact that most of what has now occurred is of his own making, being a direct result of the policies that he implemented. Although, I suspect that this crowd would care little about such a trivial matter as that. “People are crying out for action,” Barry said. Pointing to elements of his $447 billion jobs plan that was rejected by Republican lawmakers, a disgruntled Barry said they likely would linger as campaign issues in 2012. “This is the fight that we’re going to have right now, and I suspect this is the fight that we’re going to have to have over the next year,” Barry told about 240 donors at a fundraising event earlier Monday at the Bellagio hotel and casino in Las Vegas. “The Republicans in Congress and the Republican candidates for president have made their agenda very clear" Barry whined. But again, Barry is being more than just a little disingenuous by the fact that he very conveniently leaves out the fact that his supposed $447 Billion miracle cure has not yet managed to make it through the Democrat controlled Senate. But that fact did little to dampen his Las Vegas fundraiser which attracted about 240 people who paid from $1,000 to $35,800 toward Barry’s re-election campaign and to the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Some of the other entertainment luminaries gathered at the afore mention Lassiter home in Hancock Park included Troy Carter, the manager of Grammy award winner, and certified freak, Lady Gaga. The singer herself was a guest at another fundraiser last month at the Atherton home of Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg. Such are the people who apparently possess the same vision for America as does Barry himself, but not one shared by the majority of freedom loving American's. These entertainment types continue to disparage America whenever provided with the slightest opportunity to do so, and, yet, they still expect those of us who take offense at such pompous behavior, to continue to shuck out big bucks in order to see one of their idiotic movies or to purchase their music. They perceive themselves as being "artists" and, therefore, existing on a much higher level than the rest of us, we who are only mere mortals. They see themselves as being much more enlightened, and as such they deem themselves as being someone who is not only worthy of being listened to, but that should be listened to. Despite the fact that like I said, most of these clowns barely made it through public school, and earn their livelihood by pretending to be someone else by either reading, or singing, words written by someone other than themselves, and they insist that they know what's best for the rest of us. For the most part, they're really not very bright, just rich. And therefore they feel a sense of entitlement in being able to tell the rest of us how we're supposed to go about living our trivial little. Theirs is the philosophy that's nothing more than do as I say, not as I do.
