Specter To Join Obama At DNC Fundraiser

Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA) will make his debut appearance this evening at a national Dem event since switching parties. Specter will join Pres. Obama at the Beverly Hilton in LA for a DNC fundraiser, a national democratic campaign staffer tells On Call. It marks his first outing with Obama -- and with Jennifer Hudson, we should note. The Academy Award winner will sing at the event. As will Earth, Wind and Fire.

Tickets for the concert range between $1K and $2,500. A separate dinner will run $30,400 per couple. Party officials expect to raise between $3M and $4M.

Obama continues to tell each audience what it wants to hear, but the dishing out of the stimulus money is backfiring audibly.

His stimulus money is not so free.

In regards Obama's comment of "which promise"...I am ashamed to have supported him and voted for him. I will not do so again. Enjoy your one term Mr. President and, in future, try keeping your word...we're paying attention.
