While Gulf Coast Suffers, Obama Fundraising With Getty Oil Crowd in California

What to Eat on a $17,600 Date With the President from NBC's Bay Area Affiliate reports that even as the Gulf Coast is getting smothered in oil, President Obama was fundraising with another oil group - the Gettys in California - raising a million plus for Senator Barbara Boxer - again.

Why not raise money for the Gulf Coast or the many Americans who are without jobs rather than a fat cat politician such as Boxer?

The president's 80 dinner guests were treated to an elaborate meal prepared by chef Jennifer Johnson, according to SF Gate, who got the scoop on the menu.
Diners were treated to quail egg with caviar and salmon ceviche with jicama and avocado on a tortilla chip
as their starting hors d'oeuvres. Next they were served a spring onion-asparagus tartlet with Meyer lemon vinaigrette-dressed frisee salad.
The main course was braised Kobe beef short ribs with potato puree and a salsa verde-topped spring vegetable ragout. And the evening was topped off with buckwheat crepes with roasted cherries and almond ice cream.
Of course guests were given the opportunity to smile and take a picture with their favorite fundraising president. Worth the $17,600 price tag? You tell us.

Faced with a hard and demanding task, people’s attitude varies widely: some try to avoid it and others regard it as a challenge to their abilities. In fact the choice we make between flight or fight make the difference between leaders and mediocrities.
