Entry Fee to Obama Visit Could Keep Harlem Fans at Bay
in response to reader comment: Obama at the Apollo

I think it's a slap in the face to lower the event fee just because the people are from Harlem. There are a lot of people in New York. Are people actually saying that there aren't 1500 people who support Obama who can afford $50 bucks. I assure you that if "Puffy" or "50" or "J-Z" had a party and charged $50, there wouldn't be a place in the big apple big enough to house the event. I say increase the amount to $100 dollars and see what happens...make the people put their money where their mouth is. I've already donated to the campaign and I've never seen Obama in person. In fact, I would jump at the chance to pay a meager $50 to see/hear him. Heck I would even buy tickets for a few of my friends! Remember, consert tickets are around the same price and "Beyonce" is always sold out! Come on people work with me here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
