"You got these $10,000-a-plate dinners and Golden Circle Clubs. I think when the average voter looks at that, they rightly feel they’re locked out of the process. They can’t attend a $10,000 breakfast, and they know that those who can are going to get the kind of access they can’t imagine."

-Barack Obama 1996  (as quoted by Tim Russert in 2006)

New York Times 7/10/08 - On Wednesday night, Mrs.Clinton and Mr. Obama appeared at a private dinner at the Regency Hotel with about 150 big-dollar donors from the Clinton orbit. That event carried a price tag of $33,100 a person, to benefit the Obama campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
