The Headline: Obama Heads to Fundraiser After Giving
Brief Ft. Hood Statement
Obama will be in Chicago for four and a half hours, and
the events have largely been closed to the media, with radio and TV reporters
banned from attendance. Only one print reporter will be allowed to provide
press pool notes.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, Obama was originally
slated to attend a private dinner for three between the two fundraisers, with
Obama’s water and food carted in exclusively for him. The other two members of
the dinner soiree will be Mayor Rahm Emanuel and former Obama top advisor David
Axelrod. The first event took place at 4:45 PM CT, with tickets running $32,400
per person. Obama is slated to attend another Democratic National Committee
fundraiser tonight, with 55 members of the audience all shelling out $10,000
per plate.
