"On the same polo field where Britain’s Prince Harry played the Sport of Kings during a goodwill tour of the U.S., President Barack Obama helicoptered to Connecticut’s Gold Coast on Tuesday on Marine One for a VIP fundraising dinner to help Senate Democrats try to protect their slim majority in the midterm elections." – Connecticut Post"

10/8/14, "Kicking up a cloud of dust on the manicured grounds of the Greenwich Polo Club, the fundraiser-in-chief visited the sprawling Conyers Farm estate of Richard and Ellen Schapps Richman for an intimate gathering of Democratic high-rollers.
Some forked over as much as $32,400 -- the maximum contribution allowed under federal law -- to be part of the president's exclusive supper club benefiting the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee....
Five helicopters, three of them carrying White House staff and the traveling press corps, touched down at the polo club at 5:08 p.m. A Marine in his dress blues and barracks cover waited to salute the president, who was whisked into a presidential SUV, not the ubiquitous limousine known as "the Beast."
A person familiar with the transportation logistics said the Secret Service did not want to risk nicks or dents from the gravel roads and driveways that the motorcade had to traverse en route to the fundraiser.
Greenwich police blocked off every driveway on a two-mile stretch of North Street as the motorcade passed. A woman sipping a glass of red wine on a stone wall near the Stanwich Club waved to the passing president."...

RedState, continuing:
"You can tell from the badly skewed fundraising numbers for the 2014 Election Cycle. Go to Opensecrets.org, type in Tom Steyer, and play around for a bit. You’ll see just how heavily the billionaires lean when they donate.
Out of the 207 individuals or organizations donating $150,000 or more, one party gets 2.25 as much money as the other. This skew gets more perniciously pronounced as we look at the Top Ten political donors (47% of the actual cash given in large bundles). Here one group of plutocratic plunderers of the populace got seven times as much as the other side. And at the top of the pyramid, in the rarified air of the Iniquitous 1% (27% of the big donations),
we see one side getting 99% and the other just 1%....
Yep, that’s right. The billionaires buy their statist interference from the Democrats. They do so by an overwhelming margin. When Barack Obama accuses other people of serving the rich, he’s fuller of fertilizer than a honey wagon....He reminds me of the ubiquitous poster to Conservative Blogs who starts out with “I have always supported Real Conservatives but this time I’m worried….”"...
