Obama in Atherton today for fundraiser

Let's get the figures correct.
Tickets to attend at the Westley home were $250, $1,000, $10,000 and $25,000 for sponsors.
Tickets for the earlier event in Palo Alto at CEO Yao's home were $33,000.

we all know by now that facts are never a necessity when the post contains the keyword "Obama"

Facts are always a necessity, in our view, although sometimes we make a mistake. Thanks for letting us know. The story is corrected.

It'd be great if the Almanac would update us on when these are coming up. It's "news" & impacts traffic & the surrounding towns. I happened to hear about it elsewhere & then saw the valet setup to put it together.

Welp... Airforce One was at Moffit last night. Ellis was partially closed at 7pm, upon my return down Ellis at 10, it was open. And the plane was right there, all lit up, seemingly only a 7 iron away from the on-ramp.

I decided not to take a swing at it though, and let them play through......

Gotta stop by the Atherton ATM; don't forget Hillary's coming soon. Better save some for her.

The silicon valley ATM is used by both parties.

But next time Ted Cruz comes by, it will be a hot ticket, if he promises a tell-all on the porn actress he fired after using her in an anti-Rubio commercial Web Link

I guess Cruz's Christian values, used as an excuse to pull the spot, don't include redemption.

Always an interesting look into a man, when one sees WHICH Christian values he picks and chooses from on any given day.

Keyword - good choice... you would have been down before properly addressing the ball.

Will SCOTUS changes effect campaign financing?
