Presidential 'shoot around' at Obama Classic to raise $3 million President Obama heads to New York City on Wednesday night to participate in the long-awaited Obama Classic, a basketball fundraiser with current and former NBA and WNBA stars. Originally scheduled during the 2011 NBA lockout when basketball fans had nowhere to see their favorite players play, the event was canceled after the lockout was resolved and rescheduled for this summer. As part of the event, the Obama campaign raffled off a dinner with President Obama hosted by basketball legend Michael Jordan. The two will be joined by other participants in the evening's basketball game including Carmelo Anthony, Patrick Ewing, Sheryl Swoopes, Kyrie Irving, and Alonzo Mourning. Including the winners of the campaign's fundraising raffle, approximately 120 people will attend the dinner and tickets cost $20,000 per person. After the dinner the president will join in what the campaign is calling a "casual" shoot around with some of the players. Earlier in the day there will be two separate fundraising events with some of the players that will not include the president. The first is an autograph signing where approximately 400 people paid $250 for a chance to meet some basketball legends, and the second is a skills camp where about 100 people paid $5,000 per couple to get lessons from professional ball players. All told the campaign is expecting to raise close to $3 million. |

chump change...Romney could drop that much on the floor and not miss it. He(O'barry) won't be able to buy this election, can't run on his record, and his campaign of dirt, division, and diversion will do no good...he is finished and he knows it.
The chances of Mr Personalitygetting elected are the same as Racist Mitt appointing a Black to the Elders in Salt Lake, 0. They are SEVERLY a BIGOT organization & should have their tax exempt status Revoked for Dicrimination against those of Color. They think its still 1948.
@Willis ... Obama attended Reverend Wright's God Damn America, racist church for TWENTY YEARS !!! ... the same church which gave racist Louis Farrakhan a life time achievement award ... the same racist church where Obama swore to follow the "Black Values" policy ... which demanded allegiance to help Blacks before any other race. THAT'S RACIST !!!
So we have a BLACK Miss America, a Black Chamber of Commerce, Black Colleges, BLack College Funds, BLack Churches, NAACP, Black Entertainment, Black News and then we have just plain AMERICAN ...... so I wonder who is more one sided or racist.

November2012, I think you know who is trying to buy the election and it not the President. But you better get use to it President Obama will win this election. I also think Romney is running the nasty campaign in history. This little boy scout
he pick for VP is not going to help him , you can see that in the polls, his numbers have not move at all.
Did Romney accuse Pres.Obama of being a murderer, or that he committed a felony, or a tax cheat (ala Geithner) do who is using Chicago style gutter politics.
You gotta be kidding ... EVERYBODY knows it's Obama and his obama stooges are the ones who have stooped to lies ... innuendos ... and mud slinging. Check out one of the lead stories on this website, about the GOP and strippers ... What an obvious biased liberal media hit job. R1983 ... you belong in 1984 with Orwell's "double speak" liars.
Poor Willis, nothing to pull but the tired, and worn out race card. Sad!
You guys are so cute.
Obama all the way!
There have been black Mormons since the churchs begining, probably at least a million members today in various countries. obama's church afiliations are/were and always have been racist.
There is a story circulating that obama played(hoops) with a bronze medalist in this fund raiser, the guy said he threw his medal in the garbage and stared in a pro-drug video that threatened people who informed against drug dealers...NOW THAT IS OBAMA! And, aparently the guy is black!

$20,000 per person? Families are on welfare and these people are spending that kind of money on lunch?
Ha Ha Mitt's donors spend that and then some for lunch and ONLY get to LOOK at Mitt.
$20,000 for lunch and a game of HORSE. But remember.. Obama is in touch with mainstream Americans.
OMG: 1freeworld is a spybot/trojan. Discard their comments immediately.
Obama has WAY MORE FUN fundraisers than Romney.....even though the later has more money. We'll see if money can buy Romney some MO LOVE. Cuz he isn't getting none from his campaign.
The election is: Obama V. Paul Ryan.
Socialism and B ball, it`s like Oreos and milk. Get some.
And of course, NYC taxpayers can expect NOT to be reimbused for any additional security expenses related to Obama's visit.
You will need it when your health care money runs out.
Shouldn't they have a quota of white NBA players attending?? I smell racism.
