Obama Visits Billionaires Row
The real money behind Obama and who represent the Elitist Anti Gun Liberals who are dying to have their man in control
The most expensive part of the most expensive neighborhood in one of the nation's most expensive cities is the last few blocks of Broadway Street. It is called Billionaires Row. Many luxury homes occupy this part of Broadway Street.
The most expensive are 9 houses that belong to:
1) Fred Pavlow, Add-a-Garage, 2776 Broadway.
2) Trevor Traina, stepson of Danielle Steele, 2780 Broadway.
3) Norman Stone, heir to insurance tycoon W. Clement Stone, 2790 Broadway.
4) Peter Haus, Levi Strauss heir, 2800 Broadway. In 1996, Haas' Levi holdings were valued in a news report at $2.2 billion.
5) James Klingbeil, of Am. Apt. Communites, 2808 Broadway.
6) Peter Sperling, U. of Phoenix heir, 2845 Broadway. In 2003 he had about $1.5 billion.
7) Larry Ellison, Oracle founder, 2850 Broadway. In 2003 Forbes set his worth at $18 billion.
8) Gordon Getty, Getty Oil heir, 2870-2880 Broadway. In 2003 Forbes Magazine estimated his fortune at $2.1 billion.
9) George Jewett, Weyerhaeuser heir, 2990 Broadway.
Less than an hour after these photos were taken, Obama addressed the assembled guests at a very similar fundraiser held just a few blocks away at the mansion of Alex Mehran, and said a now-notorious statement about "bitter" small-town Americans. An audio of his speech was posted at Huffington Post, but it is an overwhelming 50 minutes long. Luckily, I now have a 44-second long, short and small mp3 clip of just the crucial portion of his talk.
Here is a transcript of Obama's words (this is an EXACT transcript -- versions posted elsewhere had some minor errors):

You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, a lot of them -- like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they've gone through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So it's not surprising then that they get bitter, and they cling to guns, or religion, or antipathy toward people who aren't like them, or anti-immigrant sentiment, or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.
