"Giving or raising $500,000.00 or more puts donors on a national advisory board for Mr. Obama's group and the privilege of attending quarterly meetings with the president, along with other meetings at the White House." (New York Times)
Donations buy access. Access translates to influence and Mr. Obama has told the world what it takes to gain his ear. It's called "Pay to Play".
In what universe is Organizing for Action "independent" from Barack Obama? In what way is indexing $500,000 to quarterly meetings with the president independent from "money raising" by Barack Obama?
Watch White House Press Secretary Jay Carney bob and weave as the questions are put to him on this issue.
Is this part of "Government Transparency" as Secretary Carney asserts? Or is it a blatant effort to sell access to the White House?

| Support crony capitalism. It's not too soon to send your $500,000 donation to Barack Obama. A donation buys influence, a place at the table, and it makes your voice heard in the halls of power. |
I find it interesting that the website for Organizing For Action is barackobama.com. And that somehow the White House feels that a $500,000 donation at barackobama.com to receive quarterly access to private meetings with the president does not constitute: PAY TO PLAY.
