Obama Chides Republicans as He Fills Coffers on West Coast
Obama Chides Republicans as He Fills Coffers on West Coast
By Kate Andersen Brower
President Barack Obama took aim at Republican presidential candidates without citing any by name during a three-day West Coast fundraising swing expected to raise more than $8 million for his re-election campaign.
“These folks who are running for president,” Obama said at a San Francisco fundraiser yesterday with approximately 2,500 people who paid at least $100 each. “Their philosophy is simple: we are better off when everybody fends for themselves and everybody plays by their own set of rules. I’m here to tell them, they’re wrong.”
Obama’s re-election organization and a related Democratic National Committee effort raised a combined $29.1 million in January, his campaign said in a Twitter posting this morning.
During the middle leg of a trip that raised almost $4 million from California donors, Obama sought to position himself as the defender of the middle class and Republicans as those who would seek to destroy it.
