Democratic donors rewarded with W.H. perks

By Matthew Mosk,Washington Times

 

Obama is following in the footsteps of Clinton and practically renting the Lincoln Bedroom

During his first nine months in office,President Obama has quietly rewarded scores of top Democratic donors with VIP access to the White House,private briefings with administration advisers and invitations to important speeches and town-hall meetings.

High-dollar fundraisers have been promised access to senior White House officials in exchange for pledges to donate $30,400 personally or to bundle $300,000 in contributions ahead of the 2010 midterm elections,according to internal Democratic National Committee documents obtained by The Washington Times.

One top donor described in an interview with The Times being given a birthday visit to the Oval Office. Another was allowed use of a White House-complex bowling alley for his family. Bundlers closest to the president were invited to watch a movie in the red-walled theater in the basement of the presidential mansion.

Mr. Obama invited his top New York bundler,UBS Americas CEO Robert Wolf,to golf with him during the president’s Martha’s Vineyard vacation in August. At least 39 donors and fundraisers also were treated to a lavish White House reception on St. Patrick’s Day,where the fountains on the North and South Lawns were dyed green,photos and video reviewed by The Times and CBS News also show.
