W.H.: 'No set price' for meeting with Obama
2013-03-05
[POLITICO] There is no "set price" to meet with President Obama, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Monday amid continued outcry over the role of Organizing for Action, the outside group supporting the president's agenda.
"Of course there's no set price! How much you got?"
"Any notion that there is a set price for a meeting with the president of the United States is just wrong," Carney said during his daily briefing.
"All his principles prices are negotiable!"
Since OFA is intended to back the president's agenda, it makes sense that Obama would meet with the group, Carney said. "As anyone would expect, the president would likely meet with their representatives to discuss his agenda."

#8  Anyone who would pay more than 10cents to meet with the wonder boy probably stole it.

#6   I'm guessing it starts at $1M.

$500K for a "quarterly meeting".

#5  So Jay admits that there is a price you have to pay to meet the President. He just doesn't know what it is.

Reminds me of the old joke about the guy who asks a woman if she would have sex with him for a million dollars. After she said yes, he said he didn't have a million. How about $10? She got angry and asked if he thought she was a prostitute. He replied that she had already established that, and they were just negotiating the price.

#4  How much is one's soul worth. I'd say in some cases, that's already been settled and collected.

#3  Set price? No. Minimum price? Definitely. I'm guessing it starts at $1M.

#1  There is no "set price" to meet with President Obama,

The odious Jay Caney enjoys a Joe Biden moment.
