Entry Fee to Obama Visit Could Keep Harlem Fans at Bay

$50 isn't bad. He needs it. After all this is a presidential campaign fundraiser and Obama's competing with the fiercest political machines. Harlem is not exactly impoverished, if the people in Harlem want to go to the fundraiser they will find the $50 with the understanding this is how Obama must raise money. There was a free rally in NY earlier in the year and people could've gone to that for free. He will probably have other free ones in the future. If one can come up with $25 for this historical event, they can come up with $50, and maybe then it would attrack the serious voters which is what the campaign needs, the serious voters.
