Obama's Hush Hush Donor Retreat
Dozens of Sen. Barack Obama's most generous donors will join his top contribution bundlers Wednesday at a daylong retreat at a Washington hotel.
Obama himself will make an appearance, along with campaign manager David Plouffe, finance director Julianna Smoot and finance chair Penny Pritzker.
To the donors, the campaign hierarchy plans to map out plans for the second, third and fourth quarters of the year.
Heartening to many in Obama's campaign is the fact that a majority of tomorrow attendees were not part of Obama's original finance team. Many came out of the woodwork to support him.
As we reported below, Obama caps the day with a high-dollar fundraiser at Union Station. [MARC AMBINDER]

"Hush, Hush..."
GIVE ME A BREAK.
And how can you call it "Hush, Hush," as if to imply that someone is doing something wrong (or on the sly), if they are holding it in a big DC hotel???
What, did you want a press release? Find something interesting to write about. Otherwise, why not just take the day off--I hear the Cherry Blossoms are great this time of year.

And they keep coming. The man draws 20,000 people, influential donors and I just read he even has Daschel helping him and having his friends helping. Clinton may have an old machine but, Obama is building a shiny new, better running one.
Clintons is all rusty and is bound to break down. I heard you cannot find parts that old to repair it either...

Question: AS LONG AS PENNY PRITZKER IS WORKING FOR OBAMA CAMPAIGN FINANCES. WHY NOT PAY BACK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THE ONE BILLION DOLLARS. IT COST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WHEN SHE BANKRUPTED HER BANK SUPERIOR IN 2001 AND THE 450 MILLION OWED TO THE FDIC - WITH THE SWEET HEART DEAL SHE GOT 15 YEARS TO PAY BACK WITH NO INTEREST, I GUESS IT HELPS TO KNOW POLITICANS.
