Speechless.
Via Beltway Confidential:
President Obama told a $5,000 per-person cocktail reception Wednesday evening that “we can’t have perpetual campaigns” just minutes before adding that, “It’d be a whole lot easier to govern if I had Nancy Pelosi as Speaker.”
Hedge fund billionaire Tom Steyer hosted Obama’s cocktail reception at his San Francisco mansion last night, before Obama transitioned to an even more exclusive $32,400 per person dinner at Ann Getty’s mansion in Pacific Heights ($32,400 is the maximum amount any one person can give a national party committee in one year). In all, Obama raised more than $2.5 million from wealthy Californians for Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee efforts to regain a Democratic House majority that would return Pelosi to the Speaker’s chair.
