The People's President? I think not.

Just call me the Cranky Yankee (TM). I admit, I am rather cranky, but I certainly have a right to be.

Yesterday, the president of my college class, accessed personal college information in order to solicit campaign funds for the President of the United States.  Now, not only was that a violation of my privacy rights, it also opened my eyes to this President, who not only is seeking to create a campaign war chest of 1 billion dollars (Hey Mr. Prez, how about spending that time and effort raising a billion dollars to pay down the deficit, or to at least pay for the third war in which you unconstitutionally involved this country when you chose to bomb Libya - yes, bombing a sovereign nation is an act of war and only Congress can declare war (the President after congress declares war may only "wage war" - one would think a self-proclaimed "Constitutional Scholar" would know that).

Okay, moving past the invasion of my privacy rights by a misguided Obama admirer (somehow, I think that if Dinesh D'Souza  or Laura Ingraham, both alums of the same college, raided the college email banks to send out invitations to their candidate's soirees, all hell would break loose at the college, especially among the liberals) let's get to the invitation itself.  The event is being held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in NYC, and the minimum donation is $2,500.  Hardly the small donations the President claims he raised for his campaign "war chest" for 2008.  Of course, if you wish to "donate" $100,000,  you buy yourself "Podium Acknowledgment, VIP reception, Photo Reception, Program Listing Dinner ".  Won't you feel special?  I particularly love the name of the fund:  "Obama Victory Fund 2012".  A little presumptuous in my book.  I'm having difficulties posting a copy of the invite here, but maybe I'll be able to post one soon.
